Once the light of what the king was trying to do came to Rhaenyra's head she stormed off after a moment I finally realised what was happening and downed the rest of my wine before heading inside once more

I grabbed another glass of wine as I walked closer to the royals "Is that what I am to you? A prize to proffer about to the great houses?" She asked standing in front of her father

"Your of age, Rhaenyra" Viserys said coming closer to her " and Jason Lannister is an excellent match"

"He's arrogant and self-serious" I uttered

"Well I thought him and the Rhaenyra might have that in common" he said as Rhea looked at him with wide eyes "since you came of age, I've been slowly drowning in a lake of parchment flung from every corner of the realm marriage proposals, all. And I have tried often" he raised his voice towards the end "to discuss it with you, and Daphne but you've refused me at every turn"

"That is because I do not wish to get married!" Rhea shouted back

"Even I do not exist above tradition and duty Rhaenyra!" He yelled Rhea went to say something

"Excuse me, your grace" he looked at me as everyone in the room looked around

"You must marry" Viserys said to his daughter before turning to me "yes?" He asked

"Otto tell him" I stated taking Rhaenrya's hand and walking us off away from the pair

"What are you doing?" She asked as I walked towards the horses and she put on her gloves

"Raising hell" I uttered before climbing on a horse she followed me getting on my horse and we rode off quickly ignoring the following guard shouts for us to wait

He soon caught up and we stopped as he grabbed the horse

We overlook the lake

"What happened back there?" Ser Criston asked

"My father" Rhea said " trying to sell me off to Jason Lannister" she said "was I named heir to the iron Throne so I might only further rise the standing of a lord of Casterly Rock?" She asked as I hoped down and sat on the ground leaning against a log

They chatted a bit and Criston made a joke about killing him which we both found funny

" we should return to camp, princesses" he added Rhea looked around

"It's a beautiful day" she glanced at me "we should take in the kingswood" she added as we each looked around the sky.

I walked along side the two horses as Rhaenyra began conversation

"We're you ever betrothed, Ser Criston?" She asks

"I had an adventurous youth when my father served at black haven to be sure" he paused "but my station was never high enough for a formal betrothal" he said " before I spoke my vows as a knight of the kingsguard, I could've married a common- born girl had I wished"

" I hate that term 'common- born' we all life and all die so what really is the difference?" I asked aloud as both of them looked at me Rhea laughed

"How lucky you are to have a say in your own life"

"Many in the realm would gladly trade position with you, princesses" he said

"because none of them has ever held our position they don't truly know what it is like" I said

" I may be the princess of Dragonstone, but I am toothless" Rhaenyra said

"And I am ruthless enough for the both of us" I smiled at her

I ignored the rest of their conversation feeling tired and once again wishing Daemon were here.

We soon made camp and as Ser Criston heard something I went to check it out too only to return to Rhea covered in blood and a dead bore "well done sister mine" I smiled at her before she turned and ran into me hugging my tightly

"I am sorry for earlier" she said I shook my head and held her close

Soon morn came and I was not even interested by the white hart we had spotted I just wished to go home

We soon returned to the kings wood camp while Rheayra and I were covered in blood we both looked unscathed as we passed Otto, the king and Alicent dirty look.

"Together" I spoke to her holding her hand tightly

"Always" she answered

***

We returned back to kings landing after a long journey And I was absolutely exhausted, walking with Rhaenyra I thought of many things

Daemon.

The newly born Aegon the second

And Aemma whom I miss her more than anything

" I still cannot believe you hit her" Rhea spoke as we entered my room, the rain could be heard beating down outside

We fell asleep once again together

And when I awoke I found Rhea gone I woke and got dressed for the day it seemed like I was stuck doing the same thing each and every day

I walked to the hall were they served breakfast and entered just to hear Rhaenyra speak

"Because you mean to replace me with Alicent Hightower's son, the boy you always wanted you have him in hands now you have no further use for me you might as well peddle me for what you can" I quickly turned and left deciding it was probably not the best idea to disturb them only to bump into Alicent

"Speak of the devil" I uttered

"Sorry?" She said she looked in pain I sighed and looked at her

"You need a bath" I told her she looked down at herself "not for cleanliness" I told her "it's the only thing that helped Aemma with the back pain"

"I am alright I am carrying the kings-" she was cut off by a pain in her back shooting up I held on to her back making her hold onto my arm

"Squeeze it" I told her and she glanced at me before doing so But soon stopped after a moment "a warm bath tell one of the maids it's for me they'll do it as hot as you wish" I told her

"How do you know that?" She asked as I moved myself back a step

"Aemma" I said She nodded

"I really did try-"

"You we're doing what your father ordered Alicent" I said bored "your not the only one taking blind orders but by the gods if you take Rheayra's birthright-"

"I'm not I don't want to I don't want to raise a child to do that to it's sister" She said defending herself I sighed

"I was going to say I would never forgive you, and you and I used to be good friends" I told her

"You mean you laughing about me behind my back? Or you telling Rhaenyra you hated me" she shouted

"Did I or did I not have a good reason Alicent!" I yelled back "you broke my brothers heart along with his soul and you liberated in it" I told her "and now once more you have hurt me" I stated

"You told me to squeeze your arm-"

"The king" I told her shaking my head "Rheanyra has virtually no relationship with her father and that pains her" I added before turning "I just want my friend back"

Sadness was all I seemed to have felt in these past years since he's been gone and yet now all I have left is my anger

No all I have left is
My fury.
