Chereads / Game of thrones -story of Daeron Targaryen / Chapter 11 - Rhaenys Targaryen

Chapter 11 - Rhaenys Targaryen

Elia and Ashara were on the ship deck looking excitedly at the city of Zamettar.

"Elia, it looks like Daeron has been doing well in these lands, and I am excited to meet him in person."

Elia was also in a happy mood, as she would finally be able to meet Daeron and soon her brothers in Dorne. Spending almost seventeen years in Asshai was a horrible experience for her. The poisoned river and empty street with close to no sunlight. Lucky for her, she had her daughter and friends; otherwise she would never be able to recover from the loss of her son and husband.

"Indeed, Rhaenys will finally be able to meet him."

Ashara pointed to two dragons flying above their ships. They were Rhaenys and her dragons.

"The conquest of House Targaryen would start soon."

The thought of her daughter and her Daeron going to war made her nervous, as during Robert's rebellion she lost her husband, son, uncle, and many friends, but she knew the war was inevitable.

"Yes, war is coming. I hope they are prepared for the challenges ahead of them. Wars are brutal and bloody."

Ashara placed her hands on Elia's shoulder, trying to comfort her. Soon their ship reached dock; they could see Daeron waiting for them.

~~~ (Daeron P.O.V.) ~~~

I saw Elia and Ashara, followed by the three kings guard. 

"Princess Elia and Lady Ashara, it's a pleasure to finally meet you in person."

Elia hugged me without saying a single word, soon followed by Ashara. I felt Elia's tears soaking my shoulder. I wiped tears from Elia's face. 

"Don't worry, Aunty, now everything is fine. Our family will be united, and soon you will meet your brothers and their families."

I saw three knights who were on their knees, noticing that my attestation is towards them. All three of them started swearing Kingsguard oaths. They were Lord commander Ser Gerold Hightower, Ser Oswell Whent and Ser Arthur Dayne. Their armor was similar to that of the kingsguard of the House of Dragon, the only difference being that the three-headed dragon sigil was on their breastplate.

"Rise, you are now members of my kingsguard."

All three of them stood, but our attention was drawn towards the roar of two dragons. I saw two dragons, one golden and the other red, flying over the port and heading towards the dragon pit. I had ordered my men to build a dragon pit to keep dragons only, the difference being that they are not chained. I must go and meet Rhaenys. After that, I turned my attention to Elia and Ashara.

"Princess Elia and Lady Ashara You should go and take rest; I had rooms prepared for you."

Ashara came close to me and said seductively in my ears.

"Don't forget us, my prince."

With that, they left with maids, soon to be followed by the guards. I and Kingsguard mounted our horse and made our way to Dragon Pit. During our ride, I asked them about the westeros and the great houses.

Once we reached the dragon pit, I saw both dragons being led to the entrance of the dragon pit. I am still in awe of the dragons despite living with them for so many years. I can understand why Targaryens look down on other houses.

I noticed Rhaenys. She was without a doubt a Dornish beauty, and her purple eyes display her Valyrian ancestry. The dark sister ancient Valyrian sword of house Targaryen.

She too noticed me. I could see her eyes light up, and she ran towards me and gave me a hug. We both were lost in each other. I had talked to her through the ancient Valyrian way, which is mirror; it was like a video call I had in my previous world.

Soon our eyes were locked. She kissed me. I am in shock, as I was expecting a kiss but not so sudden. Perhaps it's her Dornish blood; such boldness could only be done by a Dornish lady.

But our kiss was interrupted by a coughing sound. I and Rhaenys looked at the man who stopped us. He was Leonidas. He better have a good reason, or I will show him my bad side.

"Sorry to interrupt you. Your grace, but your uncle and aunt are waiting for you in Imperial Council, and I am afraid they bring bad news."

Leonidas gave me a paper, Rhaenys, while holding my hands. 

"Daeron, you never told me about your uncle and aunt."

I noticed King's guard interest. As well as the fact that there were more members of the house, Targaryen meant there was hope for the house as it meant there were more dragon riders.

"Yes, my grandparents had four children. Both my parents had passed away."

"Daemon Targaryen and Visenya Targaryen are my uncle and aunt. Both of them are strong fighters and ride fierce dragons."

I read the paper given to me by Leonidas.The content of the letter shocked me. How could this happen? Rhaenys noticed the change of emotion on my face."

"What happened, my love?"

I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself.

"It appears the doom has reached our residence in Valyria; luckily for me, I had ordered them to escape, but they were unable to do it in time. We had suffered heavy losses."

"All members of Volturi are gone; we have lost about 40,000 men and hundreds of ships. Not to mention, the number of dragons under our control has fallen to half. Now we command nine dragons, and only five of them are adults."

This was bad news to us. We had suffered such loss before the conquest could even begin. Luckly, I asked God for many men to fight; otherwise, I would have never recovered. Suddenly something clicked on my mind, and I looked at the sky and shouted loudly.

"You bastard, you tricked me."

No wonder God agreed to my request so easily. He tricked me into believing that I could easily take down every one. Now I would have to be alert all the time in order not to lose more men, and young dragons must not enter the war. 

We should immediately start preparing to leave for Essos before that fool Viserys marries Daenerys to that khal Drogo.

"Let's go to the imperial council."

P.O.V ends
