HIGHGARDEN -24
Maegal was sitting on her ancestors throne, Herastus served as lord commander of the Queen's guard while the Hand of the Queen was prince Doran of House Martell. Finally surrounded by family and people she could trust she felt safe and powerful. But she couldn't help but feel exposed, she felt like everyone knew about her baby, truth is none knew. None except her and the maister....she looked at Lord Tarly who bowed and offered his sword and loyalty to the crown. She nodded and grinned
"My lord, our families have always had the best of relationships. May that be continued in the centuries to come" she said and he nodded
"It may your grace" he said and went to the side with a small bow
"If that's all I shall speak with my advisors at my tower" she said softly and dismissed everyone.
Herastus walked close to her and escorted her to the room. They were the only people there yet. He took her hand in his and looked into her eyes
"What's wrong?" He asked and sighed while looking down
"I am pregnant" she said and looked at him, he froze in place and looked into her eyes he sighed
"When? Whose is it?" He asked shocked
"Whose do you think? Robb's... it's already three months old Herastus what am I gonna do?" She asked and sighed as she sat on a chair
"You will marry someone....the sooner the better. Come on, many have asked for your hand in marriage" he said and sighed as he sat opposite from her looking into her eyes "I am here, with you....whatever it happens" he said
"I don't want them Herastus...." she said and looked into his eyes
"It's Loras, he is kind and all and he won't be very needy in bed if you get what I mean. Then we have Euron Greyjoy but I don't like him and the son of the Tarly lord who looks fine....and then we have Jon" he said and sighed
"Jon is also a bastard" she said and looked at him
"Not if you make him a lord" he said and smirked
"Lord of what? Robb already holds the North and Winterfell" she said
"Exactly, Robb has Winterfell, The Tyrells have Highgarden, Lannisters Casterly Rock but....who holds Dragonstone?" He asked and smirked
She thought about it, he was right. None ruled Dragonstone, not now that her dragons were there. It was empty.
"I will send an ambassador North" Herastus said and she took his hand before she nodded.
Then the council walked inside the room. Everyone. Her uncle was holding a piece of paper. She frowned at first.
"Your grace, it appears that the North has a request from us. Robb of house Stark swore loyalty to house Targaryen and to you as queen of the seven kingdoms....now they want us to march North with our army to defeat an army of dead people" he said and shook his head in disbelief
She frowned and took the piece of paper reading it, it was from Jon telling her about the Wights and the Night King. She sighed, could this be another trap? Probably but....Jon would never lie, not to her. Not that big.
"Send a raven North and tell them that their queen is coming with the army they asked for. That will be all" she said and dismissed the council quickly
She had it all, her armies, her dragons, all. But her baby would be born a bastard....she didn't want that for her child. For the child of hers and Robb's. She didn't want for it the life she had.
Bran had arrived in Winterfell two days ago and now he had requested to speak to Jon. Jon of course was happy, he had yet to see Arya of his siblings. He missed Marienna like crazy so when a Raven from king's landing came saying that she had missed him dearly and was sorry for canceling their engagement he couldn't be more happy. He frowned a bit when she saw at the bottom of the letter.....she was making him lord of Dragonstone. He was shocked, he sat down on his bed and looked around him. That means he wouldn't be a bastard anymore.
"I am glad you came" Bran said to his brother Jon, it took Jon some time but he found the strength to come, he was still shocked for Maegal making him lord of Dragonstone
"Of course Bran, what wanted us to talk about?" He asked and smiled
"Congratulations for being lord of Dragonstone, it's what's right" he said and smiled a bit
"What do you mean it's right and thanks..." he said confused
"Jon, you are no bastard. You are the son of Rheagar Targaryen and Lyanna of house Stark" he said and looked at a shocked Jon
Jon looked at him with wide eyes, no it couldn't be....that meant that he and Maegal were.....no, no it couldn't be. He loved his sister? No, he refused to believe that, but deep in his heart he knew it was the truth. The truth his father, Ned Stark, kept a secret all these years
"You are the rightful heir to the throne" Bran finished
"No, no Maegal is queen. She is the child of.....god she is my sister" he said and put his face in his hand and sighed
"You have to promise me to not tell anyone" Jon said when he finally raised his head to look at Bran "especially not Robb" he said
"I...why?" Bran asked kind of confused "you love her....and you want to marry her, don't you? If Robb knows he will tell her and....she would never marry her half brother" Bran put the pieces together and nods slowly "it's not in my position to say anything you don't want me to" he finally said and nodded
"Thank you Bran" Jon said and hugged his brother....well cousin now. He felt terrible, truly terrible for hiding all these things and for wanting to marry Maegal, his half sister. But let's be honest here, he was too in love with her to care by this time.
A month later she was already in Highgarden, it hurt her to see Robb and Talissa next to each other as it hurt Robb to see her next to Jon. She looked at her fiancé, Jon and smiled at him. He looked happier than ever. She had told him about the baby of course, it was already three months into her pregnancy. Now she wondered if she would tell Robb...
Jon and Maegal was in their room, he took her hand and kissed it. His beautiful soon to be wife, he couldn't be more happy. He grinned and kissed her lips with so much passion, he knew it was wrong, what he did. Hiding the truth from her, but at this point he knew it didn't matter anymore. They were to be parents soon. Maegal looked at him and smiled a bit, he knew she would never love him like Robb...but they were to be married in one f the most beautiful places of all Westeros as house Tyrell wanted to thank her for pardoning Margaery
"I love you my queen" he said and put a hand on her belly "and I love just as much this little one here" he said and grinned
"I know you do Jon, lord of Dragonstone" she said and chuckled "and I love you" she said...just not as much as she loved Robb
The ceremony was simple, she was the queen of the seven kingdoms and he was the lord of Dragonstone but they both insisted on something simple. With her dragons and all the houses around her and the High Sparrow blessing them. She glanced at Robb who looked broken and devastated.
Once someone told him that she could be his peace in this chaotic world but he lost her, up to his time he couldn't believe that he had lost her....up to this day, now he knew that she was gone, she was married to another and that appeared to be that. The fest was even more modest. Simple and with not much to be said or done, the couple retired to their chambers quickly. They would martch North for some months as the army of the dead was marching south. They would wait for the big battle.
Life in Winterfell was simple as she remembered it, she was in the seventh month and the seven kingdoms cheered at they waited for the young prince of princess. She was in her room, she didn't know where Jon was. There was a knock on the door and Robb walked inside. She looked at him surprised, they have been avoiding each other the last four months. He walked to her and sat beside her on the bed
"When will the little one come out?" He asked, he always had the doubt of the baby being his
"In a week or two, the maester said that it wouldn't be born a normal one in nine month...I am a little worried about it but I have faith that it will be just fine" she said and smiled at him, she sighed and rubbed her belly
"I hope so, the young prince or princess will be very lucky to have you as a mother" he said and grinned as he put a hand on her belly too, his hand touching hers.
"I am sorry for your loss Robb, it must be terrible to loose a baby. Talissa must have been devastated" she said and Robb shrugged
"Well she is pregnant again and she is more hopeful for this one" he said and nodded before he took a deep breath "is this mine....please Maegal tell, is there any chance for the child to be mine?" He asked and looked into her eyes as he hit his lip
She sighed and looked down, she then raised her gaze and braised herself
"Yes Robb, the child might be yours..." she half lied, she knew it was certainly his. Then a pain struck and she let out a scream. The maester came inside and escorted a very anxious Robb out of the room
Some minutes later, Jon came and paced around while half an hour later a cry was heard. A baby's cry. Maester walked out the room and congratulated Jon
"Congratulations it's a girl" he said and Jon ran inside the room to hold the newborn while Robb froze in place. He wanted to ran inside and kiss Marie then hold the baby.....but he had no right in that.
So here we are guys two chapters before the end of the book, I am so kissed off by the seasons finally for two reason. First one they have ruined Jon's character and......Daenerys deserved a better death really. Also Bran king? I am not sure how I feel about that.
