At 13 Maegor married the high septons nieces, Ceryse Hightower. Although he boasted he had concived a child on his wedding night three years later at his knighting ceremony his wife still remained barren.
Davina grumbled annoyed. Visenya fixed Davina's hair as they watched Maegor step forward to their father the king.
"He is the youngest knight in the realm." Visenya reminded her. At 14, Davina was bored. She knew why she was here, she knew why they all had to come and why she had to put on her best dress. Her mother was trying to find a husband for her.
"Very impressive for him, I'm sure." Davina agreed sarcastically.
"It is." Visenya agreed. "He took down three knights of the kingsguard just last moon in a joust. He won the melee."
"I can still beat his ass to the ground." Davina countered.
"Hush, be happy for your brother." Visenya begged.
'In the name of the warrior I charge you to be brave' Aegon declared as he put his sword, Blackfyre on Maegor's shoulder. 'in the name of the father I charge you to be just.' he moved the sword to the other shoulder, 'in the name of the mother I charge you to defend The innocent.' moving his sword back to the first shoulder 'arise Prince Maegor Targaryen a knight of the seven kingdoms.' Aegon declared as the crowd clapped and hooted happily. Maegor's smug smile faltered as he rose and looked to Davina. Her fingers slapped lazily back and forth, her gaze shifting around the room.
He was the youngest knight, ever and yet a room full of people applauding his greatness didnt phase him. It was his little sister, whom he loved and hated that he craved her approval. She locked eyes with him and she lifted two fingers tapping them together. As Maegor's jaw clenched a smile curved on Davina's face.
"Where's the cake?" Davina questioned her mother as Maegor marched down the steps.
"Oh, my boy, you did it. I'm so proud of you." Visenya declared hugging him but his arm's hung limp at his side as he looked past his mother to Davina.
"What about you squirt? You proud of your brother?" Maegor demanded.
"I'm bored and need a drink." Davina countered walking away. Maegor growled at her in response.
"Don't worry about Dav." Visenya assured. "She is proud of you."
"No she isn't." Maegor snapped back. "Davina is a heartless bitch."
"Then why do you crave her approval so much?" Visenya countered. Maegor stared back at her. "I married my brother, I understand that... want, craving for more." Visenya assured.
"I don't want Davina." Maegor spat back. "I want her to burn." He corrected but Visenya knew his words were lies.
"Sure you do." Visenya agreed patting his cheek. "I'm proud of you."
"Davina..." she glanced back at Errky Xavier standing nervously before her. "Im Erryk."
"I know." Davina answered turning back to the sweets.
"Oh well.... i just... you must be proud of your brother?" Erryk offered.
"Not really." Davina countered breaking off a tart and popping it into her mouth. "He has a big enough head as it is." She informed Erryk matter of factly as she moved down the table picking at the food.
"You are so beautiful today." Erryk told her and Davina turned to face him.
"Just today?" She countered her hip jutting out as Erryk began to stutter. "Boys are too easy." Davina murmured turning away from him. When Erryk found his voice she was already across the room.
"Every day. Every... so beautiful." Erryks words faded. "So terrifying."
"Davina. Lovely as always."
"Lannister can you get any blonder?" Davina countered as she moved back to her mother. "Im bored can we go?"
"Talk to your brother." Visenya countered she glanced back at Maegor.
"He is busy talking with his fuck face pals." Davina countered. "Pass."
"You might meet someone you like". She offered innocently.
"Did you send Erryk Xavier my way?" Davina demanded. Viseryna perked up looking around.
"Oh honey Erryk is lovely. Hes sweet and kind and-"
"He cant form complete sentences around me." Davina countered.
"Hes sweet and from a great family. The eldest son. I think he knows Maegor."
"Everyone know Maegor. Thats not an accomplishment." Davina countered. "Can I go?"
"Dav-"
"I put the dress on. I looked the part but this life isnt for me. Im a fighter. A warrior. A dragonrider. I want to go home to fury. Kiss his handsome face and shove my face in cake." Davina declared.
"Which is why you are still very much single and all alone." Maegor agreed.
"Fuck off." Davina hissed stomping away.
"You two. Honestly." Visenya muttered following Davina out.

"Mum is there something wrong with me?" Davina questioned softly
"No. Nothing. You are perfect."
"Then why are you trying to change me?" Davina countered. Visenya sighed sitting beside her on the steps of dragonstone. "If im perfect why get me all dolled up. If you want me to get married then the man that falls for me will see this get up and think im some proper lady. They wont love me. Dont you want me to find real love?" Davina questioned a pout on her lips.
"Im sorry baby. I just wanted you to put your best foot forward." Visenya remarked.
"And I cant do that in pants?"
"Im sorry" visenya agreed. "I do want you to find true love. I do. I want you to have that great love story. The one I never got."
"Mum..."
"No its alright." Visenya assured. "Your father was supposed to marry me. I was the eldest but he always loved her more. Still does. She is a pile of ash love dead and yet he still yerns for her... i dont want you to have to deal with that. I want you to find real love. I wont push." Visenya agreed.
"Thanks mum. That means a lot."
"You are perfect. Dont let anyone tell you otherwise."
