It had been two months since she had returned home, her mother had once again lost another child and was grieving the loss behind closed doors while her sister took to flying a lot more. Otto Hightower had started making his plans for the future but was not aware of the announcement that would be made at the banquet tonight. Visenyra stood near the port with a smile on her face as a ship allowed its passengers off the princess seemed to brighten when the Martells approached her.
"Welcome to Kings Landing Prince Qoren" The man looked over at the Targaryen and rolled his eyes "Drop the formalities and give me a hug child" The girl grinned before hugging the man that had become a good mentor of hers.
As she released him a man stepped out from behind him, he was tan with long black hair and dark purple eyes "Hello beloved" before anyone could make a comment on what the man called the princess, she pulled him close and the two shared a brief kiss. As they pulled away, she turned to look at the surprised guards and just blinked blankly at them "Did you all suddenly forget whom you are" snapping the guards out of their surprise as she mounted her horse "I hope the stallions provided are satisfactory?" she said while glancing at the Martell party.
The two men nodded before getting on the horses while the Princess and her younger children were carried behind them in a golden palanquin with orange and red sheer materials hiding them from sight. As the party entered the city cheers rang out at the sight of the Realms Blessing as few knew of her return.
Visenyra smiled and waved occasionally stopping to hand out money and promising she would visit with food later. The Martells observed all of it, rumours had spread about how princess Visenyra was loved by the small folk and was often seen helping the common people today those words had been proven true. As they neared the Red Keep the bright smile on the princess's face disappeared and was replaced with a stony look. At the front gates were Otto Hightower and his daughter. Instantly Mekar knew this was the man his beloved had spoken about.
"Princess, his majesty requests that the delegation from Dorne be welcomed in the throne room" Visenyra nodded as she dismounted her horse and turned to the Dornish delegation "This is where I shall leave you" the two men nodded before turning to Otto and Alicent "Lord hand is there any reason your daughter is present?" Mekar asked as he watched Visenyra leave. Otto stiffened; the man had hoped that his daughter would appeal to one of the Dornish princes. However, Prince Aerion hardly even glanced at his daughter and prince Mekar seemed offended by her presence.
Before he could say a word, a woman stepped out of the Palanquin, her skin was a golden-brown colour with long black hair flowing down her back. As she approached Otto was surprised her eyes were like honey and her lips were painted red. He watched as Prince Aerion took her hand and kissed it "Lord Hand this is my wife Princess Khepri Durga of Sothoryos" Otto was shocked Sothoryos was unknown to many to find doubt they had a royal family was shocking.
Her clothing was beautiful but vastly different from those of Westeros. The garment was dark yellow in colour and was covered in what seemed to be embroidered gold, the lower part of the garment flowed out while the top clung to the Princess. There was a large ring on her nose connected to a dainty golden chain the more Otto observed the princess he noticed the many jewels that adorned her. Even the veil that covered her hair was expensive fabric.
The Princess just gave him a small nod of recognition before turning to her husband and speaking "Husband the children are eager to explore the castle" Otto was now discouraged knowing his daughter would not be able to marry the first prince of Dorne when he saw three boys and two girls standing behind the princess the oldest looked to be of three and ten. And they were dressed similarly to their mother but the dornish influence could be seen.
Holding in his disappointment he guided them inside the throne room and to his surprise both princesses were present, Visenyra was dressed in a Dornish dress with Targaryen colours and for the first time in years, the man could not see a single weapon on her. Near the King were the Queen and the other members of the Targaryen family including the Velaryon family and every member of the court.
"We welcome House Martell of Dorne to Kings Landing, tonight we shall have a banquet to celebrate our alliance with Dorne"
The court looked surprised had there been a discussion between the two houses that they were not aware of. The king however just continued "Princess Visenyra of House Targaryen has chosen her husband and after coming to an agreement Prince Mekar of House Martell has agreed to take on the Targaryen name upon his marriage to Princess Visenyra".
Otto swayed a bit upon the realisation that the Realms Blessing was to marry the second prince of Dorne he glanced at the two and his eyes widened this was not a random discussion the two seemed to be in love.
Rhaenyra watched in shock as her sister and the Martell boy smiled at each other before thanking their fathers for the engagement. Annoyed at her lack of knowledge she glanced at her mother who was smiling proudly. The court observed the couple and nodded in agreement they looked good together.
After the announcement, the court was dismissed, and the Targaryens and Martells entered the King's solar. Visenyra and Mekar stood near the flames as Rhaenys and Viserys argued the Martells sat near the couple and observed as they drank their wine.
Visenyra glanced at the five children who sat quietly, Khepri noticed and smiled "Akshara go greet your aunty you are with trusted people now" The room grew silent as the youngest princess ran up and hugged her aunt "Vanakkam athai enakku kathi sandai nee gal unmayagaka katru kodupeergala" (Hello aunty, will you really teach me to fight ?) as the princess spoke the Targaryens were stunned and silent Visenyra only smiled lifting the little princess "Ām, eṉ ciṟiya teyvam" (Yes, my little goddess) The girl smiled before hugging her aunt.
Rhaenyra watched on with the slow realisation that the travelling partner her sister mentioned was Prince Mekar. She was a bit annoyed but hid it well, looking at the interaction between her sister and the youngest Martell princess she understood that this relationship had been going on for a while. "May I ask what language that is?" Aemma stunned the room as she rarely spoke much unless she was comfortable.
Rhaenyra observed as Princess Khepri smiled before looking at her husband "It is the old language of my people" The Queen nodded before turning to her daughter "How many languages do you speak now my child?."
The youngest Targaryen princess frowned when her sister gave a look of contemplation "Twenty-one languages mother" before another word could be said a dragon's roar rang out causing the Targaryen's to tense. There was only one dragon who sounded like that. Visenyra stood up and glanced at her lover "I believe Arrax is offended that you have not come to see him yet" the Prince rolled his eyes before rising slowly to his feet.
"He is upset because he knows I brought his favourite animal with me, and he hasn't gotten any" A second roar rang through kings landing telling Visenyra all she needed to know. "You have spoiled my dragon and now he will get fat".
The two left the room bickering about whether a dragon could get fat, leaving both families behind. At this point, Rhaenyra huffed and practically dived out of the room with tears in her eyes. Viserys and Aemma both sighed while Daemon and Rhaenys glared at the two "You should have informed her before you made the announcement" The Queen Who Never Was declared her husband nodding in agreement behind her.
The Rouge Prince just sighed and looked bowed before running after his niece, Rhaenys took note of her brother's behaviour and pulled Viserys close "Our brother is in love with your daughter and she him".
Viserys sighed and looked at the floor Visenyra had already told him of this, and he was initially against it but when she told him what would happen if he kept them apart the man gave in. He would allow his daughters to marry the men they loved and hopefully do his part to prevent the destruction of their dynasty.
