"I see the way everyone looks at me." Aerion said as he sat next to Rhaenyra during the banquet, "The way there is fear in their eyes. They think of me as a monster, a manslayer, a maniac who seeks blood."
Rhaenyra looked at him, seeing that he was staring ahead. His eyes were serious, there was a disturbed look in them, exactly what Lady Rhea had told her. Rhaenyra knew what Rhea meant at that moment; the War in the Stepstones po...

There was a small celebration, in honor of Aerion's Knighting and the announcement of the impending Royal Wedding. Some lords were gathered in the main hall, a banquet prepared. They partook in the food and drink that was prepared at Visery's behest.
This was not just a celebration for Aerion, but for the fact that the War in the Stepstones had finally ceased, a proud victory for House Velaryon and House Targaryen.

There was nothing but a feeling of anxiety that I could feel throughout the entire night and upon waking up. I did not sleep much, only a few hours.
I had woken up in my own bed and made my way straight to Rhaenyra's chambers, to see if he she had woken up already. When I got there, I noticed that she had indeed been awake.
I stood at the door, seeing that she was holding the girl's babe in her arms while sitting down. Min...

"No." I said firmly as I stepped away from Rhaenyra, "That cannot be."

"No. You listen to me." I said as I pointed at the woman, "This is not right....that cannot be.....that cannot be my child!"

The incident was kept secret. Not many know about the truth, at the very least that we are aware of. Father had Otto investigate all around the Capital, searching for those who might have been involved with anyone from Essos.
But there was nothing that came out of it. Lord Caswell was questioned and punished; sent to the Wall for gifting me the wine that drugged me. He swore he didn't...

I will not lie.
It is indeed my fault.
Most of what had led up to this point has been due to my actions. For better or for worse, what I have done has caused several events that would change my life from that point forward. It is not something I will sit here and deny it.
But gods.....
It hurts.
I felt so much guilt for sleeping with Rhaenyra the first time, being so aggressive in my advances that I myself believed I f...

Without much hesitation, Triarchy forces began to march through the passage in an attempt to hit the Velaryon forces from behind as Daemon attacked their main force in the South-Ea...
