Immortal Dragon ON HOLD

Chapter III

The following day once again after her sword training Rhaella sat with her father ready to hear the story that he said he would tell her about her namesake and the reason behind her nickname.

Mikael smiled at her "Alright little dragon, you have waited two days for this story and here it is" Rhaella smiled happily at him as he began telling her to story "This story starts with Jaehaerys Targaryen the Second of His Name and his sister-wife Shaera, in the beginning, both of them were betrothed to different people, you see their father King Aegon V Targaryen, had developed a deep distaste for the Targaryen practice of incestuous marriages and was determined to end the custom. Though betrothed to another Celia Tully daughter of the Lord of Riverrun Jaehaerys had been of a more traditional frame of mind from a young age, as he was in love with his sister, Princess Shaera. Shaera, in turn, desired him. King Aegon V and Queen Betha observed this and were alerted because of it. They did everything they could to separate the two siblings, yet this only served to inflame their passion.

So when their elder brother, Prince Duncan, broke his betrothal to the daughter of Lord Lyonel Baratheon in 239 AC and married a common-born girl known as Jenny of Oldstone, Prince Jaehaerys, and Princess Shaera took note and followed in his footsteps, They eluded their guardians, and secretly wed and consummated the marriage. Aegon despaired over this but felt he had no choice, as the marriage had been consummated. He was forced to relent to his children's wishes, while at the same time dealing with the anger and wounded pride of both House Tully and House Tyrell.

And from the marriage of Jaehaerys and Shaera, came three children, the eldest Aerys, then their daughter Rhaella and finally their youngest son Mikael."

Rhaella looks at him eyes wide in surprise "But father that's your name."

He smiles at her "that's correct little dragon" then he continues "when Aerys and Rhaella were betrothed by their father and married when they were teenagers, now neither of them were happy about it but there wasn't much they could do because their father was the King and they couldn't disobey him and well as for Mikael there wasn't another sibling that he could be betrothed to so he wasn't forced to marry as his elder siblings were and with the death of their father Aerys being the eldest inherited the Iron Throne from their father and as his brother was now King Mikael joined the what is known as the Kingsgaurd, a group of guards who are meant to protect the king, now comes the answers to your questions little dragon."

Rhaella was almost on the edge of her seat, "So if that's your name does that mean that it is you is this story?"

"Yes Rhaella, it is me, in this part of the story" Rhaella looks at him with excitement in her eyes "so if your brother was King does that mean you were a Prince? And if you're a prince does that mean I'm a princess?"

He chuckles " I was a Prince because my father was King before my brother but yes little dragon that does indeed mean that you are a Princess, you were named Rhaella, after your aunt, my sister and I call you little Dragon because out of all of your siblings, you are the only one that inherited the full Targaryen look."

Rhaella smiles at him "I'm a princess?"

He smiles kissing her on the head "Yes you are little dragon."

"So what did it look like the throne room? And what happened to them? You said was, which means in the past so what happened?"

"Well, when you stepped into the throne room the first thing that you saw before the Iron Throne were the dragon skulls that line the pathway up to the throne it went from smallest to largest and the last skull before you got to the throne was Balerion's skull the very dragon whose fire forged the Iron Throne, it starts when my nephew Rhaegar was said to have abducted Lyanna Stark, now that story there are many different sides to it but her 'abduction' is what started Robert's Rebellion. Lead by the man she was betrothed to Robert Baratheon, her brother Eddard Stark and a man by the name of Jon Arryn."
