Someone knocks on the door "come" the door opens and it's daemon. I gasp at the sight of him. He smiles "princess has it really been that long that you're shocked at my presence" chuckling. I reply "it's been too long" I hug him to me and he hugs me. He mutters "I won't leave you for long again" I chuckle "the world is full of uncertainties." He tells me "I have a gift for you" he usually leaves the gifts to rhaenyra.
I'm the older twin but I was born blind. I was blind for 8 years but my eyes healed. The maesters said it's a gift from the gods. My sight. I was ignored, and left alone and blind. My uncle was busy with his travels but he did attempt to stay. But my father forbade it. I wonder why? He's never given me a gift before. He says "I'm staying for a bit. Longer than I usually do" oh. I smile and say "that's great"
He asks "how's your eyes? No problems?" As we now walk and I tell him "they're fine. Just need to have drops done a few times a week" he nods "it's really good that you can see" "why? Because I'm useless without my sight?" I ask. He looks my way "that's not what I meant" "what else could you have meant uncle? Everyone's already said it and if they haven't then they're thinking it" I chuckle.
"I meant it's good you can see because there's a lot to see in the world. The world is beautiful. And you should see it" he tells me. I chuckle "I'm nothing but a princess. I'm going to be sold to whatever lord would want a defected targaryen" he says "you rhaelle are not a defect" I tell him "I was born blind and I stayed that way until I was 8. My bonded dragon is considered a dark omen. Oh and-" he cuts me off "and nothing rhaelle. You had a disability and overcame it. Not a lot of people can say they bounced back from being blind for half their life. And vaegon isn't a dark omen. He's just different and likes no other but you. And that's fine" I nod "I have to go see my mother" he nods "come find me after." I nod and head to my mothers chambers.
I sit with her for a bit and she says "you should go" "I don't want to leave you mother. I have a bad feeling" seeing how she is. She asks "are the visions coming back?" I shake my head "no...it's just a feeling." She kisses my head "you my beautiful Rhaelle...are going to go to that tourney and have fun" I chuckle "what for no one ever asks for my favor. Anything I touch is tainted" she turns my face to look at her "you aren't disfigured or tainted, or less than anyone here. You are rhaelle targaryen the first of her name. You are nothing and you've never been nothing. You were a fighter as a child and you're a fighter now. The knights don't deserve your favor if they can't see it" I kiss her head and say "I'm gonna go" she nods
