Rhaegar Targaryen - 298 AC

Rhaegar was in his solar, to his right side was Elia. He was resting after a long day of being King. Right now he was looking at all marriage proposals send by lords for his son Jaehaerys. Rhaegar knew very well why almost every lord cared only to marry their daughters with Jae.

Thinking about Jaehaerys made him think about the last 4 years since Jae came to live in King's Landing.

The first month was hard for Jae, he didn't like it that much to be inside the castle all the time, therefore he would usually go out in the streets of King's Landing followed by Arthur. What surprised Rhaegar was that Jae started to sing for the people of King's Landing, and everyone liked his voice. That warmed Rhaegar's heart.

Many people in King's Landing started calling him 'The Singing Prince'.

But Jae had problems too. When it was revealed to the people of King's Landing that dragons had returned and when they saw Bloodfyre flying around. Many people were scared, some people of the faith even straight-up demanded the dragons be killed. A fantastic man of the faith came to the throne room one day demanding the dragon's deaths but was nearly burned to ash due to Rhaenys sending her dragon to him. The man wasn't burned but was send to the cell to stay for a year.

Rhaegar knew very well that the faith won't like the idea of dragons returning. They knew what that meant for the royal family. But Rhaegar didn't care what they think, the dragons would neither be locked away nor killed. And he made a law that if dragons were harmed, would result in execution.

In the first month, wasn't hard to raise the new dragons inside, but by the second month, was harder, the dragons were the size of a dog and wanted to 'spread their wings' as his children called it. In the second month, the dragons were sent to Dragonstone to be raised there. Rhaenys and the others left too. They stayed in Dragonstone for 3 months. But during that time, a man came to the throne room saying that his little boy was burned alive by their dragons. When he was asked when had that happened.

He said that it happened two days ago. That was strange to Rhaegar because he knew the dragons had left a month ago, and weren't around since they went to Dragonstone. By what Aegon had written him, the dragons liked the Dragonstone. Especially Bloodfyre who according to Jae, was his home. Rhaegar knew the little dragons are not large enough to go away from Dragonstone.

When Rhaegar told the man that is been a month since the dragons weren't here. The man who was around forty years started trembling like a leaf. His color of face disappeared and paled. That didn't go unnoticed by Rhaegar and Elia and his king's guard. Rhaegar started walking closer to the man, and the man lowered his face and couldn't handle looking at his king. He was asked again what happened and the man didn't even answer. His lips started trembling and looked ready to cry. Rhaegar ordered for the bones to be examined, and it resulted that whoever was dead, had died a year ago or more.

The man then was tortured to talk and he only revealed that someone had paid him a good amount of gold to do the job. He was asked who but he swore that he didn't know the man. The man then was executed for treason.
Rhaegar didn't like this. Of course, Oberyn stated that Tywin must be behind it. Rhaegar didn't know if that was true or not. But they had no proof. Rhaegar asked Varys if he knew anything but he shook his head. Rhaegar was very suspicious of him.

Rhaegar then sends a letter to Aegon about what happened and told them to stay in Dragonstone a bit longer.

After four months, Jae had returned from Dragonstone with the others, the dragons were staying in Dragonstone, and Jae said that Bloodfyre was no danger to the other dragons.
