Rhaelle's pov
I get dressed after a bathI head out with daemon and he's holding my hand I hear a screech and see Vaegon with Syrax. Though vaegon dwarfs Syrax in size. He comes down the hill to me and I pet him softly "I missed you too" he hasn't visited me again. He huffs out a noise before going to the hill. A tear falls when I finally look at the pyre. I wipe it and my other hand is grabbed I look over in shock. It's rhaenyra.
"I owe you a large apology" she tells me "I wish to make it right and us be a family" I nod and once the priest stops his speech daemon urges us to go to my father "no" I say. Giving viserys a glare. Rhaenyra goes though with a squeeze to my hand. Viserys doesn't even look at her. No one wants to light the pyre. No one wants to say it and I sniffle and look at Vaegon. Daemon speaks "you shouldn't have to" "no one else will" I mutter and say it "Dracarys!" And vaegon lights it and I watch it my mind flashing to seeing her cut open and dead that day, our last moments as well.
I Cry more
I turn to leave and daemon stops me and pulls me into his chest "I'm here Rhaelle." He continues "I got you" I pull back and wipe my tears and walk away. I head to the weirwood tree and vaegon lands his head on my lap and I stroke him slightly. "Rhaelle" it's viserys. I look his way "your Grace" not wanting to look him in the eye. Not that I'm allowed to anyway.
"Please...call me father" he tries. I ask "why? You never were one" he sighs "and I want to put that behind us..." "how can you sit here and ask me to do such a thing. You murdered one of the only people who was there for me" I scoff. "One of?" He asks and I nod "my uncle" "you know that daemon can't be trusted" he tells me "neither can you. Mother trusted you and loved you and you killed her for your selfish wants" I roll my eyes. "Rhaelle I'm trying here" he tries.
"You abandoned me and treated me like shit my entire life" I tell him. He says "you are my heir Rhaelle." "You have one fully able child, I'm nothing but a defect and dirt." I spit. He shakes his head "I should've seen it sooner. I should've treated you right. But now you are my heir." I shake my head "daemon is your heir." "He's not reliable, he's too wild" he says. I tell him "all he wants is a chance don't take that from him" "I choose you Rhaelle" he tells me walking away. What just happened?
