My Darling: Daemon Targaryen

The Princess's |1|

"Does the Princess do this often" Ser Grant one of the new guards asked the guard standing next to him as they watched the princess hand out bread and cookies that she had baked earlier that morning to the people in Flea bottom

"yes twice a moon the King added more guards when the princess does this because last time a she nearly go hurt because of a fight breaking out" Ser Derek the princesses sworn guard replied watching the princess

"it amazes me" Ser Grant said after a moment of silence "what does?" Derek asked brows furrowing

"how the Princess can be so different from her sister" he said making all the guards laugh

"Princess Marcella is a kind and gentle soul that uses her station and privileges for good to help people Princess Rhaenyra see's her station and privileges as an excuse to treat anyone bellow her horribly including her own sister" Caleb another guard of the youngest Targaryen princess said shrugging

"ya I figured that out when the princess awoke before the sun and spent hours in the kitchen making all these treats and foods for these people who don't have much or anything"

"we will need to leave soon if she wishes to speak with the queen before the council meeting" Derek said to Caleb who nodded and began to approach the young princess who was speaking with a women holding a babe

"thank you so much princess this mean so much you have been so helpful I can never repay you" he heard the women say as she rocked the babe she held

"it is no issue at all Laura you can repay me by making sure to take care of your babe I do not do this for the people to repay me I do it to help that is all" Marcella replied gently squeezing the women arm

"Princess" he said making her turn with a captivating smile "Ser Caleb is everything alright" she asked her voice light and warm

"yes princess but it is time to leave if you wish to visit your mother before the council meeting" he replied giving her a kind smile as she nodded

"very well let us leave I do not wish to have my mother wait on me" she said before making her way up the street where her carriage would be

"Princess" the coach of the carriage greeted as he bowed to her "good morrow James" she greeted nodding her head with a kind smile before entering the carriage as her guard got on top of their horses following the now moving carriage closely

------

"Good Morrow Sister, Lady Alicent" Marcella greeted when she saw the two walking in the hall from her mothers chambers

" Princess" Alicent greeted stiffly knowing her friend did not like the younger princess for whatever reason

Both Marcella's guards Derek and Caleb looked at each other when they saw the young princess frown when her own sister just ignored her greeting and whispered to her brunette friend on how annoying she is

"Princess Marcella" Ser Steffon one of the queens guards said bowing

"hello Ser Steffon how are you this fine day" she asked smiling up at the guard and knight making him smile down at her "I am quite well how about yourself" he replied

"Wonderful it is a beautiful day" she said before asking "is my mother up for visitors"

"she's been waiting for you" was all he said before opening the door announcing her arrival

"Princess Marcella" he announced making Aemma looking at the door smiling when she saw her sweet daughter enter

"Hi mama" she said bending down placing a kiss onto her cheek "Hi my sweet girl how was your time in flea bottom"

"it was great passed out bread, cookies, and muffins to the people" Marcella answered

"did you sleep?" she asked sitting down on a chair near the bed she sat in "I slept" Aemma replied

"how long?" she asked again

" I dont need mothering Marcella that is not your responsibility" Aemma replied as she fanned herself

"you are surrounded by attending that are only focused on the babe in your belly someone must attend to you mama" Marcella replied squeezing her hand

"You will lie in this bed soon enough Marcella" Aemma said nudging her daughter with her foot "this discomfort is how we serve the realm" she continued readjusting in her chair

"We have royal wombs you and I the child bed is our battlefield we must lean to face it with a stiff lip" Aemma replied smiling softly at her daughter

"I cant wait to become a mother I hope to be a wonderful one just as you are" Marcella said smiling at the thought of her future children she hated the pain and grief her mother had to go through but she couldn't wait to become a mother herself

"well I have no doubt you will be the most amazing mother you are already an amazing girl who I and your father are so very proud of" Aemma said smiling at her

"thank you mama, what do you say will I have a brother or another sister"

"well Rhaenyra thinks it is a girl I am not sure" Aemma answered rubbing her very large belly

"with Rhaenyra I was sick and nauseas and in bed quite a lot but with you the pregnancy was quite peaceful I was rarely sick, apparently glowing so I am unsure what the babe will be"

Marcella just hummed "well I just hope for a healthy babe and delivery and for you my mother to be healthy so as long as those happen I will be happy" she said warming her mothers heart who couldn't understand how her two daughters were so vastly different

this sweet girl in front of her helps their people knows every guard and maid in the castle and if she doesn't she takes the time to learn, she helps the kitchen staff she learns all she needs to about the realm, she's kind and smart the complete opposite of her sister Rhaenyra

who is rude arrogant, doesn't see those who are bellow her as actual people she thinks because she's a princess a Targaryen she is better than everyone

the realms darling and the realms delight two completely different princess's
