°•°• "but jace is trueborn?" said laenor with clear confusion in his eyes "he has both the blood of the dragon and salty seas in his veins" he continued.  jaelys hummed "that is true brother but the realm especially a certain greedy man would take this in their palm and dub jace as a bastard" the family all knew who she was referring to °•°•

°•°• "that cunt needs his head off his shoulders" daemon grumbled bitterly as his clear dislike for the man was heard—yet all agreed with him , otto was a snake and will always be a greedy one at that "that day will come soon enough" jaelys assured°•°•

°•°• "so what do you both plan to do?" rhaenys spoke up looking between the two "wed in the traditions of old valyrian before we'd tell my father of jace so it'd be perceived as we wedded in secret before jaelys went off to the battlefield and us having jace" said rhaenyra°•°•

°•°• the family took the information in "mhm ...i think it's a great idea" daemon said with a shrug "my brother is a soft man and he especially has a soft spot for rhaenyra, i think this will work" he told them and slowly everyone agreed after moments of thinking about it . it was a smart move to avoid jace being named a bastard and would still secure the spot of rhaenyra being heir , she'd be wedded in the custom of house targaryen and has birthed a trueborn son°•°•

°•°• that alone would strengthen her claim as heir "and we would want you , mother to officiate it since you have more knowledge of it" said jaelys looking to rhaenys, the elder princess gave them a smile "i'd be honored" said the woman making the couple smile°•°•

°•°• "but what off vaemond? he is yet to return to driftmark and once he finds out ..." celenia said knowing her brother would do anything to ruin the image of her niece just to take on the title jaelys holds that he yearns so desperately to snatch from under her°•°•

°•°• corlys sighed "i will speak to him myself" though the sea snake loved his siblings, his younger brother was a terrible pain that wouldn't leave him°•°•

°•°• "we leave him in the dark of things" shrugged jaelys , she had no care for her uncle and she didn't want him involved in her life and how she goes about it "he is no use to anything other than being an annoying prick who thinks of only himself" even the thought of her uncle made jaelys annoyed°•°•

°•°• "than it's settled , i assume it will be here on driftmark yes?" rhaenys asked and the couple nodded in return "now that we are gathered all here now" corlys said standing up as he looked to his younger daughter°•°•

°•°• "laena there is something you should know" laena furrowed her brows in confusion at the looks on her father's face , the glare jaelys sent to daemon who was sipping her wine trying to avoid what was to happen and laenor sighing deeply with hints of sadness in his eyes°•°•

°•°• "before the defeat of this krab king ... we were losing on many occasions against them and we had no other route to lead to" corlys started off glancing to his wife , he was yet to tell his wife,  sister and daughter of this marriage pack°•°•

°•°• "daemon here had given us the advantage from the dornish prince sending his troops to aid the krab king and his army , yet prince qoren had requested something in return if he were to lay off his seige" jaelys was still angry about sailing her sister off to some dornish boy even if the girl was at an age where she is to be wed someday , the taller woman if possible—would shield her sister away from those petty lords so she would never have to marry ever°•°•

°•°• very overprotective yes but it was just how jaelys was , she was protective over the people she loves "what was his request than husband?" rhaenys rose her brow in question with her eyes squinting in suspicion "he asked for one of my daughters hands for his son , but with jaelys already being betrothed and her being older than his young son ..." he trailed off°•°•

°•°• rhaenyra who caught on looked at the man in shock as she too didn't know of this "he wants laena's hand?" asked rhaenyra looking to jaelys , the taller woman sighed nodding her head in conformation. rhaenys immediately scoffed , laena's jaw dropped in pure shock and celenia's eyes widened "what?!" she said°•°•

°•°• "blame dearest daemon over there" jaelys pointed to the prince who choked on his drink looking at the woman in disbelief "just pointing it out now huh?" the man said in shock , jaelys shrugged nonchalantly with mischief swirling around her eyes "you were the one who accepted the offer without acknowledging us first"°•°•

°•°• "you thick skulled fool!" celenia seethed wacking the man on his arm "okay!okay i'm sorry! it was the only solution to keep his army in dorne" daemon exclaimed trying to stop the womans beating on him°•°•

°•°• jaelys snickered , rhaenyra narrowed her eyes at her love as she hit the back of her head "ow! what did i do?" the tall woman pouted rubbing her head "you think it was a wonderful idea to tell us this only now?" the princess huffed with rhaenys agreeing with her glaring at her husband°•°•

°•°• "yeah! i'm being shipped off to dorne and you didn't think of telling me" laena said with a angry frown to her twin shoving his arm "you're my twin! you should've told me first" she punched his arm "ow! don't involve me into this i had no clue too!" he shrieked dogdged his twins hits°•°•

°•°• "she is not going to dorne corlys" rhaenys hissed glaring at him hard before turning her hard gaze to her cousin "and you should've consulted with us first before speaking on behalf of us cousin!" daemon shrinked away from his cousin hard glare , finding the angry women in the room aside from jaelys — quite scary°•°•

°•°• "mother i too dispise the idea of giving laena's hand to the prince son but it has been done , we cannot deny it if we don't want him declaring us as his enemy" jaelys said with a sigh , even if she didn't like the idea of it ... there wasn't turning back now°•°•

°•°• rhaenys sighed deeply closing her eyes for a brief moment so she could process this information, her children were her treasures and would always be no matter how old nor young they were she would protect them with her whole heart—yet she was bound to face the day her youngest daughter was to be wedded°•°•

°•°• so she opened her eyes glancing to her husband who had an apologetic look in his eyes
"and how old is this boy prince exactly?" she asked with her arms crossed , all eyes turned to daemon for the answer°•°•

°•°• the rogue prince folded his lips at the sudden attention , not that he minded though "eight and ten , his considered to be the greatest dornish fighter and is to take his father's place someday" laena lessened her scowl and her brows rose slightly at the information . in her mind maybe it wouldn't be that much of a bad idea°•°•

°•°• "mother" laena turned to her as rhaenys looked to the girl in question "as jaelys said it has been done in order for the safety of the people residing on driftmark ... and this could benefit our house in many ways" the girl said with a shrug°•°•

°•°• jaelys hummed at her sisters words "with the dornish in our yolk it could be an advantage for future reference if anything would occur" corlys nodded in agreement , this alliance could strengthen his house—not only is his eldest daughter soon to be queen consort and have his blood on the throne , but the velaryon blood will continue with the dornish . as they were known to be powerful and independent°•°•

°•°• "and he isn't much older than me mother, i suppose i accept the request" laena said with an eased smile °•°•

°•°• corlys looked to his wife , rhaenys was silent for a moment before she reluctantly nodded "than i shall send a raven in the morrow" corlys smiled°•°•

°•°• "but first we have a wedding that needs to be done" °•°•

A/N : I honestly have no care for vaemond what so ever so he will be kept in the dark of things and won't be appearing much until i decided when to kill him off🤷‍♀️
