12. | THE QUEEN WHO NEVER WILL BE
——————————

•
"You will seduce the prince Cersei"

Cersei lets out an irradiated huff, "You promised I would become queen, but now that Martell whore has been given to him and dear mind you father, has given birth to two children already."

Tywin glares at his daughter, "Yes" He answers carefully while not breaking eye contact with Cersei, "But there is rumors that Elia Martell will have a hard time giving more children. So when you seduce him you will become with child. Prince Rhaegar will take pity on you because of his mistakes and you will bear him a legitimate heir and house Lannister will have more power"

Cersei looked at her father and picks up an eyebrow, "Father, Prince Rhaegar already has an heir"

Tywin lets out a snort and smirks, "That can be arranged" Tywin was willing to kill an infant if it means the Lannisters would have more power. He wanted Jaime to wed Aelinor Targaryen but that was destroyed when his idiot of a son became a kingsguard member. And he would rather die than let Tyrion become his heir. He knew what he had to do.

He needed a new wife.

-

Aelinor glances over the big building that was going to help children read and learn. Aelinor knew that Rhaegar disproved because of the responsibility. But she was going to take that risk for her people.

"You really have outdone yourself princess" A familiar voice said behind her.

Turning around she met with his eyes and gave a small smile, "I didn't think it would be so successful, really" she sighed and looked back at the building. "I guess I even doubted myself, but I never really believed that I could make it that far"

"Trust me princess Aelinor, you have done great for the people and the realm" As you always have done. Varys says while watching over the building that was currently the most famous building in Kings Landing. Understandable. Any parent who wants their children to be greater then them would want this. Varys had to admit to himself that he didn't think this would success, not because of Aelinor herself but because of the king. The king trusted him and would take his opinions time to time but was still vary of him. He was the master of whispers of course the king would think he would be a traitor, but thankfully didn't do anything. Mad he is, but not a stupid one at least.

Aelinor smiled sweetly at him and folded her hands nervously while watching all the children go inside the building. This is what she had wanted. Aelinor knows that people wanted her to be their queen and she probably was good at ruling, yet she could not help but think that she didn't want to be a queen. She just liked to help people. If she was not going to be a queen then she would rather be remembered as kind, gracious and helpful.

-

"So what happend between you and Ser Jaime?"

Aelinor looks at the ground and tries not to cry, "I don't really know Ashara. I do feel for him still but it gets awkward so fast and I can't help but think that he didn't want me all along" Aelinor answers gently praying that what she had said was a lie. She did care about Jaime. Really. More than she should.

Ashara gives her a sad smile, "I understand Aelinor. But don't lose hope yet. You two might find yourself back together" Aelinor knew that Ashara was only guessing. Yet it didn't stop herself wishful thinking.

Ashara is quick to notice the sad topic and changes it, "Anyway, have you heard that Lord Tywin is getting married. It is to Amelia Reyne."

Aelinor stopped suddenly with wide eyes, "Reyne? But Lord Tywin slaughtered off the whole family. Everyone knows this"

Ashara gives her a shrug before linking her arm with hers and begins walking again, "True. But I guess Lord Tywin spared the girl. But it's funny isn't it? Marrying the last Reyne, his enemy. Poor girl. She is only four and ten yet Lord Tywin is in his forties" Ashara shook her head pithily.

Aelinor is just walking awestruck. Lord Tywin Lannister? Remarry? She guesses that it wasn't that much of a shock though. He didn't have anymore heir, save for Tyrion but everyone in Westeros knows he would rather murder himself before giving Casterly Rock to his dwarf son.

But yet Aelinor could not stop shaking this vary feeling off. Why would Lord Tywin remarry the last Reyne? They were no house anymore. The Lannisters were already powerful, maybe that could make then even more powerful? More powerful that the Targaryens. She had to know more of this and keep a good eye.

"A pity indeed"

-

Aelinor never thought that she of all persons would feel lonely. Never in a million years did she think so, its ridiculous really. A princess who has everything she could ever want in the world feel lonely? What did she know about that? But it is a time like this she wishes she was never a princess. A Targaryen. She hates it, being called princess and your grace.

Closing her eyes and taking a deep breath, holding it for as long as she can, before breathing out. She opens her eyes again and sigh. She feels lonely. She wants to be more then a princess, or the mad kings daughter. She wanted to be free, to have freedom. But she knew that she could not do it, not while her father sits on the throne. The realm has bleed enough, we need peace and father is obviously not giving it. She must stay strong, if not for herself then for her family and friends along with the people and the realm.

She was ripped from her thoughts by her mother holding a crown in her hands before her.

"This was my mothers crown as hers before her. It has been like this since Aegon conquered Westeros. Do you know who this crown belonged to?" She asked while staring painfully at the crown in her hands as if remembering a memory.

She shook her head.

"Most people would say this was Rhaenys Targaryens, but in truth it was Visenya Targaryens. A warrior queen not most admired but feared. She eventually gave her crown to her nice by law- Alyssa Velaryon so that this crown would represent herself and the Targaryens queens. To show that they have power too. And now, I think it is time I gave this to you." Rhaella said as she gently smiled. She took her daughters hands and brought her to stand. She raised the crown up and put it on her daughters head. Blinking she held back tears, Aelinor looked marvelous like a queen. She would surly be remembered.

Aelinor found herself smiling widely at the crown witch sat upon her head. The crown itself was beautiful. Silver, small yet gave out the impression that it deemed power and loyalty. It had a white sapphire at the middle of the crown.

Her mother pushed her into a bone-crushing hug. Aelinor threw her arms around her mother, laying her head in the crock of her shoulder and closing her eyes.

-

"Aelinor" A voice whispered to her in the middle of the night.

Aelinor sighed in annoyance already knowing who it is. She sat up on the bed and let a candle before whispering back, "What are you doing here Rhaegar?" Aelinor asked in a small and tiredly voice for being waked this late into the night. So this is how Rhaegar felt when she would wake him dead up on the night. "Did you need something?"

She could see Rhaegar's worried face when he began opening his mouth, "Mother is pregnant again" Aelinor stiffened. Everyone knew about their mothers unfortunate births. "Maester Pycelle confirmed it in the morning" he continued.

Rhaegar was scared for his mother, he new what would happen if she lost this child too, which is very likely.

"I am scared for her"

That sentence broke her. Her brother had so much upon his shoulders now and then he had to care for his mother too. It would be too much for him. Aelinor loved her mother with all her heart and she knew that her mother loved her more then the world back. Yet, she knew that their mother favored her brother the most. So it would be most realistically thing if her brother worried more than her.

She quickly threw her arms over Rhaegar and pushed his head into the crock of her neck while rocking him back and fourth.
