Year 115 AC, Rhaenyra is 18, Princess Rhaella 16
You loved celebrations, birthdays, weddings... anniversaries... with feasts and tournaments, you loved the way King's Landing would roar with life, the streets filled with carriages, colors, banners of the Realm's most important families. It was breathtaking. It also filled you with energy and wonder
As a princess, the second born daughter of King Viserys and Queen Aemma, you really didn't have many people you could talk to, or you were allowed to interact with, so this really was an opportunity to meet new people. And as your father would think... suitors.
It was the celebrations of your sister's wedding, she was going to wed Ser Leanor Velaryon, heir to the seat of Driftmark, and lord of the tides. A handsome man and a skilled warrior and sailor. Since she was named heir two years ago, the celebration planned to be huge, families all around the seven Kingdoms were gathering, the Starks from the North, the Lannisters of the westerlands, the Tyrells from the reach, the Baratheon from the Stormlands, the Arryn from the Vale, and Tullys from the riverlands, and they all brought their alleged families as well
You were excited for the beginning of the festivities, but you were more excited to enjoy them arm on arm with your sister. Rhaenyra and you were close, you were more like sisters, you were friends, specially after the passing of your mother and the fact that your sister best friend married your father
You found her in her room, getting ready to receive the guests for the feast to celebrate their engagement
"Are you ready Nyra?" she meet you with a smile
"I am sister" she was wearing a beautiful white dress, and a bright smile. It warmed your heart to see her so happy, "and maybe soon enough you'll be too, celebrating your own wedding"
"Let's just get through yours first" you giggled. She smiled brightly, she looked happy, and calm, you didn't think she would be like that, but there she was.
You left her to finish getting ready, but you walked towards the Throne room, because you knew your father would be receiving guests all day.
You arrived sneakily, in one od the side doors, just in time to watch the entrance of one of the most important families on the realm, the house Stark
