Baelon II Velaryon is the son of Rhaenyra Targaryen. Just like his mother he was a strong willed dragon rider. Built for the clouds and forged for fire. He was meant for greatness. But the legacy of his family weighed heavily on his shoulders.

Baelon stood beside his stepfather, as the doors to the empty war room were pulled open to reveal Rhaenys in her riding armor, in company with their guard Ser Lorent as he led her in.
It had been just, Daemon, Rhaenyra, and Baelon. That is until the princess arrived. "The Princess Rhaenys Targaryen." Ser Lorent announces, bowing deeply.
With a hand on her full stomach, she thanked him, turning her attention to the woman who called for them. "Princess Rhaenys...might we hope for news of Lord Corlys's recovery?" Rhaenyra asks, only to be cut off by said princess
"Viserys is dead."
Silence filled the room. Rhaenyra feels her heart at her throat, unable to form a proper reply. Daemon turns from the burning furnace, silent, processing the news.
Baelon looks towards his mother, he did love his grandfather, but he knew his mother was the one grieving, who felt the loss more deeply.
"I grieve this loss with you, Rhaenyra." Rhaenys states offering her a small comfort. "My cousin, your father...possessed a kind heart." Rhaenys says
Rhaenyra continued to stare, as Rhaenys slowly approached, rounding the grand table. "There is more." Rhaenys says, she almost didn't want to say it, but she didn't have that choice. "Aegon has been crowned as his successor." Rhaenys says, equally angry.
Rhaenyra suddenly whimpers, the pain and loss suddenly hitting her at those words. At her silent and muffled cry, Daemon and Baelon suddenly react, stepping closer to their princess.
Rhaenyra shook her head, moving away, she couldn't handle their comfort. "They crowned him?" She breathed, she couldn't believe, she didn't want to. She had just forgiven Alicent, she had reconciled with her, and they were back to being friends. But she was betrayed, again.
How could Alicent do this to her, after everything they've been through? How could Alicent at least not tell her?
Daemon didn't seem to care for the crown at the moment, "how did Viserys die?" Daemon asks "I could not say." She admits
"How long ago?" Baelon asks, his eyes meeting Rhaenys, she briefly takes his face in. They haven't had a proper conversation in years, since she was there to send her husband and him off to war. "A day passed, perhaps two. I was made a prisoner in my quarters while the Queen made her preparations." Rhaenys says
