KING'S LANDING



























































The Queen had arrived in her chambers, she started to untie the dress that she was wearing. She opened her closet, she went through the nightgowns she had looking at each and every one of them.

Rhaenya picked out the one that caught her eye the most, she untied her corset before putting it onto her body. She put a new comfortable nightgown on, she brushed her hair with her brush, rubbing her eyes. It was hard to know if anything was going to happen tonight as she could feel herself breathing heavily.

She put her hand on her chest and tried to calm herself down, her crown sat down in front of her and she looked over to the other side of her room. The sword she killed her brother Aegon with sat in a distance from her.

The Queen looked could feel herself going insane or was doing just fine, she couldn't remember the last time she had a big breakdown like this. Her heart was racing, Her eyes moved quickly around the room and her heart was beating even faster as she tried to get up to go to her bed.

Something was coming over her and she was having a panic attack, her breathing was becoming faster. The walls felt like they were closing inwards and everything was going very fast, her hands shaking.


"No, no, no," she mumbled under her breath, her voice was panicking, her hands running through her hair. She could feel herself digging through her braids wanting to undo it.

All of a sudden the room felt dark, she couldn't see anything, she looked around but it was nothing. Nothing but clear darkness. Her breathing was becoming extremely loud and heavy, she didn't know how to control it. All she could see from a distance, was Aemond, her son, and a woman.

A woman holding Aemond's chest, while having her dead son around her arms, it wasn't her. She didn't have black hair, the lady wasn't a Targaryen. She knew it was her son, because of how small and fragile the boy was.

"Get me out of here!" Rhaenya screamed in terror, her voice quivering in fear, nothing could be heard, only Aemond coming closer to her.

She backed up looking at the older-looking Aemond, she fell to the floor as he towered over her and she tried her best to scoot back to get rid of him. "Get away from me!"

Aemond had a smirk on his face and he got down onto his knees, his hands gently caressing her cheek. "Look how much you have grown, all pretty in your nightgown,"

His voice rang through her ear as he continued to caress her, she could feel herself shivering, she couldn't fight back, she wanted to. There were so many things this man had done to her and she couldn't forgive him for what her younger self went through.

"Oh isn't this our sweet boy Aemon," he held his son's hand bringing him closer to her. "And you couldn't even keep him alive,"

It felt like a knife going right through her chest when he said that, his voice made her shiver and her hands shaking in her lap. When she tried to get up, she couldn't get up, her legs locked onto the floor, she couldn't move, and she was paralyzed. The next thing she knew she couldn't see him any longer.

More tears rolled down her face, her lips were quivering and she could feel how fast her heart was beating. She curled herself up in a ball, as she rocked back and forth, Rhaenya could feel sweat coming down her face.

Her hands were shaking, and the necklace around her felt like it was suffocating her. She wanted to rip it off her neck, she wanted to scream but nothing came out of her lips. She put her head down in her dress and she kept shaking.

The room fell silent, dead she knew Ser Robert was outside protecting her room. She would be sitting in silence and she would feel her hair falling apart, Rhaenya could feel a small gulp that came out of her lips.

Rhaenya crawled to the door, she could feel her knees weak and she was going to collapse. She came close to the door and before she could knock, she collapsed. Ser Robert could hear it from the other side of the door. He heard a thud, and he acted quickly to open the door, he looked down to see the collapsed Queen.

He got to his knees and put her in his arms, she was still sobbing as Ser Robert held her. He caressed her hair trying to calm her down, she was still heavily breathing and he picked her up. She leaned her head into his chest, and he gently put her down in her bed, it was hard to realize what was happening, as her head hit the pillow.

She didn't move, her eyes had another tear rolling down her face, she was going absolutely mad. This wasn't the first time that Ser Robert had found the Queen liked this, he knew what to do. He found one of her lady-in-waitings, to look after her while he went to go find the King. Elaena wasn't far from Rhaenya's chambers when she heard the news from Ser Robert and she hurried into her chambers.

Elaena put on her lady-in-waiting gown and she quickly got a washcloth, had a bowl of water then drenched the washcloth. She touched Rhaenya's head and her cheeks were extremely red.

She placed the cold towel on her forehead and she caressed her cheek, the sweet queen still had to face most of her traumas, she sat down beside her in the chair near her and she held her hand. On the other hand, Ser Robert was finding the King, his feet were moving fast and he knew that the King had gone to play cards.

King Jace was putting his cards down as he laughed with Cregan when saw the entering of one of the Queensguards. He immediately got up when he realized Ser Robert entered the room and he put the cards down. "What happened?"

"The Queen is ill again..." Robert whispered, he had his head down looking at the King's feet. "She was on the floor crying..."

Lord Cregan looked at Jace, then to Robert before both the King and the Lord of Winterfell got up and moved quickly to the Queen's chambers. The sound of hurried footsteps could be heard, and one of the sons of the King came out to see what was going on. Lcerys rubbed his eyes seeing that his father was in a rush to go somewhere in the direction of his mother's chambers.

"Lucerys go to bed," Lord Cregan had a stern voice as he was still clearly worried for the prince, but he didn't need any of the children of the Queen to know what was happening.

"I want to see my mother," Lucerys said. He was clearly tired and he wanted to see his mother. Something was also bothering him, the chaos was clearly not helping, as Jace looked at his hand and Cregan looked at Jace.

"I'm going to take Luke to bed, go check on the Queen please," The king ran his hands through his hair and he was stressing out. He took his son's hands, and led him back to his chambers, "Lucerys what happened?"

"I want mommy!" Luke was now screaming at her father trying to make him let go of his hands. Jacaerys looked at his son and crouched down looking at him, Luke looked down at his father. "I want mommy..."

The eleven-year-old boy wasn't listening and Jace couldn't get himself to talk to his son about what was truly going on with his mother. Jace just hugged him and the young prince looked up at his father, then he hugged his father back.

Cregan and Ser Robert hurried into The Queen's chambers, the lord of Winterfell rushed into the room and he came by the Queen's side. He looked down at the Queen, and Elaena moved out of the way. She stood on the other side of Rhaenya while Cregan crouched down and he caressed her face.

It was seen the Queen's head leaned into Cregan's hand, his hand was extremely warm giving comfort to her. The Queen's eyes were not opening at all, it was as if she was struggling to stay conscious. Another tear rolled down her eyes, still remembering what had happened earlier.

While The King was trying his best to calm his son down, it was not going so well. Luke had run into his mother's chambers, only to see his mother in bed with a cold towel on her forehead. The King chased after his son and but it was too late.

Luke looked up at his father, then to his aunt and to Cregan, his voice slowly breaking the process as he spoke, "Is momma dying...?"

Elaena got up from where she was sitting, and she held Lucerys in her arms, the young boy tried to fight her off but his arms were too weak. Jacaerys moved towards his wife as the Lord of Winterfell stepped back. It was still quite quiet, he was hesitant to let go of the Queen but he had to.

Luke kept fighting Elaena's grip, and he finally got his way to be by her mother's side, he leaned over touching her face. He gently gripped her hand and kissed it continuing to cry, the king truly hated seeing his son like this. He was too young to see the state of his mother like this.

Soon, Rhaenya was slowly regaining her consciousness, the queen's body was moving slowly, and her eyes were opening. Rhaenya opened her eyes, only to see a bunch of her people around her, Luke's sobs could be heard and she slowly caressed his head.

His cries were like when he was first born, the day he had arrived in the world, his little cries were seen to be soft. The small prince was a fragile boy, he was half of the size of his brother. It took him at least 5 minutes to start crying and it was very much a life and death situation. Rhaenya continued to caress her son's head as finally Luke looked up at his mother.

He looked back at his father and then at his mother again, Lucerys had a small smile looking at his mother. The prince was truly happy to see his mother, "Momma, I thought you were dying!"

The Queen wasn't passed out, she was just exhausted too much to do anything. She looked at her husband with a weak smile, she held his hand too looking at her husband. The King looked at his wife and then gently kissed her. It was the middle of the night, and the prince laid his head on his mother.

"What happened?" Jacaerys whispered, holding her head close to his face, she leaned her forehead on his.

"I saw him again... but this time, with my boy, my sweet boy," she held his arms, holding herself close to him. Her body was going cold as she was holding onto him for a long time.

Luke got to his mother, his voice was quite the holding his mother's cold hand, "I thought I was your sweet boy..."

Rhaenya's hand immediately went to her son's face and holding his cheek, she could see the immediate feeling of sorrow coming towards her. "No, no you are my sweet boy!"

The boy looked at his mother as if he had been betrayed, he didn't quite understand what was going on at the moment, Rhaenya kissed his forehead. The King held his wife's hand looking down at their son, he gently caressed trying to calm him down.

It was hard to realize that she has everything she needs right at the moment, right now everything is perfect in her life. Yet so many moments in her life she had missed, what was it like growing up with people you love? It took so much time to have her actually realize that the people she thought of weren't actually here.

The Queen could feel the warmth of her husband gently touching her forehead. She loved him so much and she took a deep breath. The calm sigh left her lips as she leaned closer into his face and she couldn't get enough of how the King couldn't stop comforting his wife, knowing how scared she must've been, seeing the man who had caused her all the trouble.

"Momma, can I sleep with you tonight?" Luke's soft boy asked, his voice slowly ringing in her ear and she looked up at him.

"Help me up first, let me sit up and maybe you can," She smiled at him and Rhaenya and Jace helped her sit up in her bed. Cregan looked at Rhaenya with a relieved smile, seeing that she was getting better.

Luke sat down in his mother's bed as he cuddled up closer to her and he yawned, putting his head down on her lap. Rhaenya gently played with his hair, calming her down and then Elaena smiled at her.

Elaena leaned on her older brother, knowing that both of them were happy that Rhaenya was okay. It was normal that the Queen had deja vu moments in her life and it worried the two of them.

Rhaenya watched as her son fell asleep in her arms, and she looked at her husband with a slight smile. The Queen had thought of a moment that she had with her mother, she held herself close to Luke.

Alicent was getting ready in her bed chambers, the hours were late and it was pretty dark outside. Quick footsteps could be heard outside of her doors and she turned to look at them. The door burst open, and her youngest daughter walked in. It was raining outside and lightning could be heard.

Rhaenya crawled into her mother's arms and looked up at her. "I'm scared," it was pouring in King's Landing.

The small princess moved over to the side of the bed and covered herself with the sheets. Alicent uncovered the sheets, looking down at her daughter. "The storm isn't going to get you,"

"But it's scary, it makes loud scary noises like grandfather!"Rhaenya had a small pout on her lips, she leaned onto her mother's shoulder.

Alicent kissed her daughter's forehead holding her close to her, her warmth kept her small daughter really warm together. She looked over at her daughter, who was already trying to keep herself awake. Her head kept rocking back and forth, as her eyes were forced wide to stay open.

The Queen brought her daughter's head onto her lap, as caressed her head, the small princess curled herself close up to her mother, and she finally closed her eyes in peace.

Rhaenya kept her son close to her, as she smiled at Jacaerys, she held his hand giving him a small smile. She shifted Luke's hair to the side and he shifted in the Queen's lap. "He's growing so big,"

"He's a sweet boy, just like my brother, I think Luke would be looking over him," The King held his son's hand, he remembered his birth like it was anything. Rhaenya was looking over to her husband with a tilt on her head.

Cregan and Elaena were out of the room by now, it was only the three of them. It felt like the old days before all the kids were here when it was just Jace, Rhaenya, and little Visenya.

Luke was cuddled up close to his mom lying on her chest, Rhaenya smiled at Jace, "Luke is guiding him through our sweet boy's heart,"

Jace's hand came to Rhaenya's cheek caressing it carefully, and she leaned in close to him, their forehead gently touching. Luke was shifting around in the bed as he rolled off to the side away from his mother.

The King looked at his son before he looked back at his wife, "I think we can get some alone time after we put him back to bed,"

Rhaenya nodded agreeing and Jace picked his eleven-year-old son up, cradling him back to his chambers. She supported Luke's head since it was falling and he put her son's head on his father's chest.

Once they reached his room, Rhaenya opened the door for her son and her husband as Jace walked in. He sat her son down and he wouldn't let go of his father's neck, the Queen giggled and helped him get Jace's neck free.

The two carried their son's head before letting him sleep, she kissed his forehead moving his hair gently out of the way. "Good Night my Sweet Prince,"

The Queen looked at her son one last time before the King wrapped his arm around her hips and they returned back to her chambers. Rhaenya leaned herself onto him and he pressed her up against a wall and started to kiss her. Her hands touched his chest, smiling at him and she was true towards him.

"Not tonight," She leaned her head on her chest, her breathing was gentle but she looked into his eyes. Jace immediately understood her and stopped quickly before taking her hand and kissing it.

She looked into his eyes, her eyes were softening out. The King looked at his lovely wife, as he leaned in and kissed her forehead. Rhaenya held his hand, she started to caress his cheek with a lovely smile on her face

"What is it?" Rhaenya whispered, she looked into his eyes, she could tell something was off. Her voice was quite soft in the late night. She hadn't gotten any sleep in a long time and it had been a long day.

"I miss my mother," Jacaerys whispered and Rhaenya's eyes immediately broke and she immediately held him in her arms.

She sat him down on her bed and she started to play with his long curly hair, holding him tightly. Jacaerys leaned closer into her arms resting his chest on her, he started to play with the necklace around her neck. His fingers twirled around the center jewel and he went quiet.

Rhaenya kissed the crown of his head, she held him closer to him, she missed her sisters too, she needed them, even to this day. It took some time before Jacaerys had fallen asleep in her arms, she looked down at him and smiled. She kissed me goodnight before she also fell asleep.


____________________

The next morning Rhaenya and Jacaerys had their bodies and arms tangled in one another, the curtains were closed so the sun wouldn't get in their way. The one thing that did get in their way was their youngest son Baelor jumping on their bed.

Rhaenya could feel the bounces on the bed and she could hear giggles, then Baelor stepped on her hair. Rhaenya groaned as she pulled her little son down, Baelor started to laugh again.

"Mommy!" He smiled and he kissed his mother's nose, and the small hands of the four-year-old held his mother's cheek. The small hands touched her mother's face, he giggled caressing her mother's face.

The King had his back turned, not knowing what was going on, Rhaenya got up from the bed and picked her son up alongside. She rubbed her eyes as her son leaned her head on her shoulder, "Do you want to help Mommy get ready?"

Prince Baelor's eyes were so big and excited, he tugged on her dress and was super excited. She went into her closet and started to look through all the different dresses. The four-year-old had big eyes looking at all the designs and he looked at the blue one.

"Mommy, mommy! This one!" He smiled looking up at his mother and it had a fur neckline with patterns going down the dress.

"Okay, thank you, angel," she smiled kissing his cheek, she looked at her son, "I have a mission for you,"

The small boy's eyes went big once again and stood up straighter, "What is it, Mommy?"

"I want you to wake your father up," She whispered quietly into his ear, and the small prince looked at his mother with a nod before he went into the other room to go wake his father up.

Rhaenya had one of her ladies-in-waiting come to assist her with her dress, the dress was quite nice for the weather. Four ladies walked in quickly having material to help the queen dress, she stood tall and still as clothes were getting pinned onto her.

When the door opened again to her closet, it was Baelor and Jacaerys together, he had messy hair and the Queen could only laugh at her husband.

"Mommy, I woke him up!" Baelor had a cheeky smile on his face, it was a proud one for sure. He looked at his father and tapped him on the cheek, the King was trying to focus on what was going on.

Rhaenya's ladies were done and she stood off the stool, walking towards her boys. She kissed Jacaerys on the cheek, "Good Morning,"

"Good Morning," He grumbled, he didn't want to be up whatsoever, then Rhaenya took Baelor out of his arms letting him get ready. She held her son in her arms as she looked at her husband and she gave him a long hug.

"I'm going to wake up the other kids," She whispered with a gentle smile, her tone of voice was caring and she needed him to realize that she was here for him no matter what.

He nodded as he entered the washroom and Rhaenya took herself out of her chambers and went towards the children's chambers. The walk felt dense, something was extremely off and Rhaenya looked around.

The Queen knocked on one of the doors, Aerea opened the door and she had a small smile while she wore a pretty brown gown. "Momma!"

Rhaenya smiled looking down at her daughter, as she could see her hair was getting done by Rhaenyra. Just seeing her kids getting along made the queen smile, Aerea handed out a letter to her mother.

"Momma, me, Luke, Alysanne, and Jace, all received these letters," Aerea stated, Rhaenya looked down at it and it was some sort of paper. She looked at it and started to read it, as her eyes moved down the paper quickly.

To the Royal Highness, Prince Jacaerys, Princess Alysanne, Prince Lucerys, and
Princess Aerea,

I am sorry that you have to find out this way, but it was going to come out at some time. You have all grown up so beautifully and amazingly. I am just so sad that I could not be more part of your lives. It saddens me to even tell you this, but you're not the actual children of Queen Rhaenya and King Jacaerys. You really are the children of Queen Rhaenya and myself, Lord Cregan Stark. I am so sorry that you had to find out this my dear children, I will talk to you soon.

Your Dear Father Cregan Stark.


Rhaenya looked at Aerea, her eyes full of concern and she held her hand. "This isn't true, I swear on my life,"

Rhaenyra looked at her mother, then at her little sister Aerea looked into her mother's eyes nodding. She didn't know who to believe and she was unsure if her own mother was telling the truth.

Something inside the queen was making her furious, she was not happy especially seeing this in her children's hands. Her children must've believed that she had betrayed them, for holding the truth in for so long.

"Mother, it's alright we know it isn't true," Rhaenyra approached her mother seeing her in such a state. She held her mother's hand which made her mother feel comforted at the slightest.

She touched Rhaenyra's face and she looked at her daughter, she pulled Aerea also close to her. Rhaenya still had Baelor in her arms as she held her daughters carefully in her arms. "I'm going to figure this out okay,"

Aerea nodded looking nervous and she looked at her mother reaching for her baby brother. "I can take Baelor!"

The Queen handed her daughter her youngest son before she smiled at her children before she quickly exited the room. She walked aggressively out of the room into through corridors then she walked into the small council room.

She slammed the door as people looked at the Queen, Jacaerys wasn't even present yet and she was holding the letter in her hands. The only members who were there were Lady Baela, Lady Rhaena, Lord Garmund Hightower, and Lord Alyn Velaryon.

Baela looked up at the Queen, raising her eyebrow, she could see the upsetness in her dear friend's eyes. "What happened sister?"

"Someone forged a letter saying that they are Cregan Stark... that all of my children with brown hair are his," Rhaenya cursed, looking at the letter and she continued to read the letter over and over.

"Let me see that," Baela yanked it out of her hand to look over at herself and couldn't believe what she was reading. She truly didn't believe what she was reading and she came over to Rhaenya and hugged her. The doors to the council room opened again only to have Cregan Stark, Maris Baratheon, Elaena Snow, and the King himself walk in.

Rhaaenya looked stressed, annoyed, and especially overwhelmed, after everything that happened yesterday, this was happening today. Everyone took their seats, Maesters taking theirs too, Jace and Cregan could immediately tell something was up.

Cregan came behind the seat where the queen was and he rubbed her shoulders trying to get her to lighten the mood, she looked at him upset and she pushed his hands away. "We need to get this cleared before it gets further out to the people!"

"Clear what out?" Jacaerys responded by taking his seat and he held Rhaenya's hand, his eyes went towards his.

"There is a rumor, that someone is starting, that Jace, Luke, Alysanne, and Aerea are all Cregan's children," Baela couldn't look at Jacaerys, she just felt sorry for Rhaenya at the moment.

The room went quiet, it was dead silent, Rhaenya nearly had tears in her eyes remembering the things her own mother had started. "I can't have my children get hurt, I can't let this get out,"

Cregan realized why Rhaenya had shooed his hand away, he looked down, never imagining this was ever going to happen. The letter sat in the middle of the council table, Maris reached out and she grabbed it.

She looked at Rhaenya, she could see the distress in her eyes, and even before she could speak out, Princess Alysanne and Prince Jace had walked in. Rhaenya looked at her children as they looked upset at what they had just read.

"What is this?" Alysanne looked down at her mother as she flared the paper in her hand, her voice was clearly upset. "And for seventeen years you were never going to tell us?"

Rhaenya put her hands on her head as she could feel herself stressing out over the situation already and she couldn't look at Alysanne in her eyes. Her daughter looked at her mother upset and she looked like she was about to cry.

"Do not speak to your mother that way!" Baela looked at her niece, she got up from her seat and went to comfort Rhaenya.

The king was furious about this accusation getting out, in seconds the people would twist the words and they couldn't have that. "Alysanne, sit down."

"No how can you guys keep this secret for so long? So mother wouldn't get called a whore?" Prince Jace snapped at his parents, a small gasp left the room and Rhaenya couldn't even look at her own son anymore.

The King got up and he slapped his son across the face, he didn't regret what he did for a minute. "Call your mother a whore, and you will lose your tongue. You both don't even let your mother explain the situation and come in her acting like she was going to tell you,"

Alysanne crossed her arm and looked at her twin brother, then to her parents. Rhaenya couldn't hold herself together anymore, she looked at her twins. "He is not your father, he wasn't even in King's Landing when you were conceived,"

The room went tense again, no one talked it felt like the air out of the room was sucked out. Baela and Rhaena were by the Queen's side comforting her as Maris and Elaena were trying to decode to letter.

Maris looked at how specific letters in the alphabet were written and she looked at the words and the Qs and the Ts. It looked so familiar, she put the paper down and she looked at Jacaerys and Rhaenya. "I will be right back,"

While Maris was out of the room, Rhaenya couldn't even look at her kids, her sweet twins before the other two had walked in. Her sweet boy Lucerys and Aerea who looked at their older siblings.

Jacaerys couldn't look at his eldest son, as the two younger ones who had just walked in could tell something was tense. Rhaenya spoke up to her kids, "You, especially you two, have no right to come in here yelling at me. I didn't carry you for 9 months to have you come disrespect me and call me a whore,"

Aerea held Luke's hand looking up at her older brother, she seemed scared that her mother was upset with them. Alysanne still didn't believe her mother, while Jace didn't seem to care only wanting this situation to be over.

"I didn't sleep with your mother, especially anytime you were conceived, do not disrespect your mother," Cregan finally spoke out, he was also in a state of shock and he couldn't think of what to say. He studied Alysanne and she looked down at the floor.

Elaena was quiet herself until the door opened again and Maris had walked in with a bunch of letters. All these letters were from all her sisters and including her brother. She scattered the letters on the table.

The twins were intrigued and had found a sleep at the council table near the maesters.
While Luke and Aerea walked over to their parents standing besides them holding their parents hands.

"I know you must all be confused, but we all know for a fact Lord Cregan didn't send these letters out. But I know who did. The way the letters were done are very unique and it was easy to pick out," Maris said finding one specific letter from one of her sisters.

Rhaenya looked at Maris, Luke's hand kept her comfort as he held it tightly letting her know he was there. Maris had finally found the letter that she was looking for and she shook head.

Elaena looked down the table, realizing which Baratheon Sister had sent the letter, "That bitch,"

Maris ticked her tongue as she looked at the council table, everyone waiting so desperately to know who had sent and started these rumors once again. The room was intense, everyone needed to know.

"Cassandra Baratheon"
