Dragonstone Castle, Dragonstone Island

Late 122 AC

"So, is it true? Helaena and Aegon were married in secret without the king's permission?" Laela asked.

"Yes. Father is furious—Helaena was suppose to be seventeen when she married. She's being sent to me." Rhaenyra confirmed.

Laela pitied Helaena. At least Corlys and Rhaenys insisted that she wait until seventeen to be married, the same with Laena.

As for Viserys, he was utterly adamant all of his daughters would be seventeen when they married, since Aemma had been too young to be bedded at thirteen and thus weakened.

'Furious' was an understand for how much Viserys had been in a wroth when he learned Helaena had been married to Aegon at thirteen and was now possibly pregnant.

Daemon was also adamant that Shaera and Aelyx's wedding would happen when Shaera was sixteen. Alyssia would similarly marry Baelor (they were now betrothed) when she was sixteen.

He had chopped of the hand of Lord Celtigar who wanted to marry Shaera (who was twelve) to his eighteen year old heir.

The White Dragon had cut off the Celtigar lord's nose as well.

"Then we'll make sure your sister has all the support she needs during her pregnancy." the Pearl of the Sea told the Realm's Delight firmly.

Rhaenyra nodded. "Of course."

"Good." the light violet eyed Velaryon said. "I'll get her rooms ready and inform Gerardys."

The future Hand of the Queen left the room with easy grace few could boast of having as Rhaenyra muffled a smile.

Laela and Daemon were really meant for each other.

That is today's chapter. I hope you all enjoyed it!
