" ... A raven came to inform the Council that Prince Daemon had taken Dragonstone castle, the seat of the Targaryen dynasty and officially Princess Rhaenyra's castle. In a rage, the two Princesses flew to Dragonstone to face their uncle and witnesses said that Prince Daemon laughed when he saw how angry his nieces were. They also said that Princess Rhaellanne had been especially furious because Prince Daemon had shown off his whore Mysaria, who he planned to marry. Prince Daemon and Princess Rhaellanne had faced each other with anger, from years of built up tension and unresolved feelings, both carrying the same hot dragon blood that made them so similar and yet so far apart ... "
" ... Maesters said this was the moment that changed Princess Rhaellanne forever. To learn that her father intended to marry her childhood friend Alicent Hightower had enraged her. She mounted Cannibal immediately and took to the skies, and he roared so loudly houses in King's Landing shook all night, the land outside of the city's walls were found burned and smoking, and many sheep had vanished, evidently snatched into the dragon's jaws. Then, Prince Daemon left city for the Stepstones to join the Velaryon's war and Maesters reported hearing Princess Rhaellanne's cries through the walls for hours ... "
The following day, rather than go and ride Cannibal like she usually would, Rhaellanne was instructed to follow Ser Roderick from her room straight to an emergency small council meeting which had been called by Otto early that morning
When she arrived, she found Rhaenyra and her father and his council members waiting there
"Why was I called?" she asked as she stood beside the table, close to her Great Uncle Corlys since she did not want to be close to the cunt Otto Hightower
"As princess of dragons, we thought it best that you hear this," Lord Corlys explained and gestured to Grand Maester Mellos
The man held up a scroll to them. "Daemon." He sighed and Rhaellanne cast her elder twin a look, to find Rhaenyra was looking at her too "The Prince left a missive, which I believe might explain." He unrolled the parchment and began to speak: "'It is the pleasure of Daemon Targaryen, the Prince of Dragonstone and rightful heir to the Iron Throne, to announce that he is to take a second wife in the tradition of Old Valyria. She is to assume the title Lady Mysaria of Dragonstone. Her Grace is with child and is to have a dragon's egg placed in the babe's cradle in the custom of House Targaryen.' The Prince has invited you to his wedding, Your Grace. It is in two days' time."
Rhaellane felt like she had been punched in the gut by that. Not only had Daemon abandoned her at court, but now he had stolen an egg from the dragon pit and intended to marry another woman, a whore at that. She knew Daemon would not have been allowed to marry her, but some part of her deep down had wished that perhaps he cared about her enough to. It seemed not though.
"Gods be good," sighed King Viserys
"Who is Lady Mysaria?" asked Ser Lyonel Strong
"We believe-"
"-Daemon's whore." answered Rhaellanne evenly, keeping her anger out of her voice. She knew that no one would question how she knew it since her and Daemon's close bond was widely known, but she still feared that her father may be upset at just how close she was to him
"This is nothing less than sedition." said Otto, after casting Rhaellanne a confused glance
Ser Strong nodded "I strongly agree, sire."
