A Tale of a Forbidden Love

Daenerys Stormborn

I can't remember the last time I cried so much. It was like, a thousand knives stabbing me all at once and I was helpless to stop it. I was looking at my life flash before my very eyes , as I was hearing those word my father was demanding of me. How could he expect this from me, how could he do this to me, his little baby girl. He said, that being a Targaryen comes with responsibilities and that this is what was expected of me. I always thought that I would have some sort of say when it came to my life and my future, but apparently not. in a fortnight, my father would be announcing by engagement to Jamie Lannister of Casterly Rock. I've never met Jamie personally, but from what I heard, he was said to want to join the kings guard, but if he marries me, this wouldn't be possible and he would resent me as I would  come to resent him too... All my life I said I would marry someone of my choosing, not out of expectations and  definitely not out of family traditions. I'll be damned if I'm forced to marry this person out of obligations.

I convinced my father that I needed time to gather my thoughts before he announces anything and surprisingly, he agreed to let me visit my dearest friend Missandei (Missy).  Missy just arrived from Astapor, where she was studying abroad, something we wanted to do together, but my father said my place was here at Dragon Stone, I was  learn the ways of maintaining a household.... I despised him for not letting me go, maybe this is why he agreed to let me go with Missy to visit a friend in the North. I'm told it is beautiful there this time around and a lot cooler then being back here in the south. Missy has a friend that lives in Winterfell, and arrangements have been made for us to stay there for the duration of our stay.... I can't wait to get away and escape my life, even if it's only for a short time and maybe I'll come to accept the things that I have no control over, but for right now, I'm going to enjoy being 15 and free....
