Happy New Year

Jaehaerys Targaryen

He felt bad, and he didn't know why. He just felt bad. He was lying on his bed as he was thinking about what had happened.

' His grandmother had called him in his bed-chamber. Jae didn't know why, but he had a few thoughts on why. Jae reached the door and was surprised to see no one else but Ser Barristan guarding the door. Jae was confused, and he didn't know why he was here. Ser Barristan usually followed his father or Elia.

Ser Barristan bowed his head in respect, and Jae smiled at him. He opened the door and walked inside, and saw Grandmother Rhaella seated in his bed. She turned her head to him and gave him a warm smile. She moved her hand in the bed close to her for him to sit there.

Jae studied her face and could see she was calm and didn't looked worried or angry with him.

Jae walked and sat close to his grandmother, who put her hand on top of his right hand.
"Jae," she said quietly, and Jae turned his eyes at her.
"I need to ask you something, and I want you to be honest," Rhaella said warmly.

Jae nodded his head without a second thought. His grandmother sighed.
"Did you kill Lady Catelyn?" She asked, and her grip tightened.
"I . . . I did," Jae responded and avoided her gaze. But she put her hand on his cheek and made him look at her.
"Why?" She asked calmly.

At that moment, Jae felt angry. "I hated her, she made me suffer, I wanted to be the one who ends her, to see her suffer after what she did to me, every time she called my mother a whore, every time I was forced to sleep in a cold bed without food, I . . . I . . . I" Jae was stopped by his grandmother, who had hugged him tightly.

Jae stopped talking and was just quiet. His grandmother stayed like that for a minute, and Jae was quiet. She slowly pulled away and had tears in her eyes.

"Listen to me Jae, I know that feeling very well, I know how is like to hate, to feel hatred and wanting only revenge and blood, but listen to me, I was forced at a young age to marry against my will, and then that man tortured me, I hated him, but then I had a family, my sons, daughter, Egg, Elia, and Rhaenys and that helped me, so listen to me, 'Revenge is a Sword with two blades' each time used, you will cut yourself more.

So listen to me, let your past go, and be happy with your family, and love them," his grandmother said quietly to him.

Jae didn't know what to say. He was with his family, but still, he felt very angry with many people for what happened to him and wanted to put them down, but he knew she was right. Jae swallowed hard and thought about it for a moment.

"Thank You, Grandmother," Jae said quietly, and his grandmother hugged him again tightly and whispered sweet words to his ear.

Jae knew he let himself lose control, and he blamed that woman for every bad thing that happened to him. He knew Lord Stark had his part on it, too, but still, every time, he would think about Winterfell. His mind would mainly think about Lady Stark, who treated him like dirt.

Jae hated her and wanted to take revenge, but now he felt as he had made a mistake.
Jae wasn't sure if what he has done was the right thing to do, and Jae wasn't sure anymore. He just knew he would need to keep himself in control. He promised himself never to lose control of his family ever again, and he would keep that promise. Jae would make sure to protect them at all costs. And what his grandmother told him stuck with him.

Bloodfyre told him an hour ago that two more dragons had hatched. Jae felt happy but wasn't in the mood to leave the room and see which dragons hatched.
