Blue revenge

Chapter six

"You have wounded me child." Rhaenyra says pushing open the door to Rhaella's room, Leanor and Daemon following.

"I wound you mother? I will forever have this scar that your son, my own brother, bestowed upon me." Rhaella shouted back.

"Might we all calm down." Leanor suggested placing his comforting hand on his daughter's shoulder keeping her calm as he always did.

"After the events of tonight I recommend Rhaella have a sworn protector." Daemon pushing himself off the wall before speaking. Rhaella rolled her eyes in response, she didn't need a sworn protector she had two large dragons but she knew better than to say anything while the "adults" were talking.

"A fine idea." Rhaenyra pitched in although she would do anything to keep Daemon's favor.

"I wager that we let Rhaella stay her with my own parents. Learn to be lady of deiftmark for in later years to come she will be then she shall learn to be a queen." Leanor added on it didn't see like a bad idea but she knew that her family you be gone leaving her with a boy she barley knew.

"Might I recommend the Cregan Statk heir of winter fell, there are a great many years before he may become king and I'm sure his father would appreciate him having the practice. And he's only mere moons older than Rhaella." Daemon elaborated. Leanor, Rhaenyra, and Daemon all stop to think before shaking their heads in agreement that this was for the best.

"Do I get a say in any of this." Rhaella questioned as her fate was being out in the hands of adults, two of which wanted nothing more than to pawn Rhaella off which was exactly what they were doing.

"Everyone here is just trying to protect you, my little sea snake. But no it has already been decided and I will write to Lord Stark in the morrow." Leanor said ending the conversation.

Within days maids we're setting up a room for Cregan and days after that Cregan himself arrived. Rhaella being was sent to greet him all on her own.

"Princess, it is a honor." Cregan bowed awkwardly.

"Please call me Rhaella." Rhaella insisted walking toward the castle, Cregan following behind her.

"I would like to let you know I do not need a protector, I am capable of taking care of my self." Rhaella informed Cregan leading him into the castle, heads turning as the walked past.

"I don't doubt that princess but I'm here now so we might as well make this count." Cregan flashing a smile to some of the people looking before catching up to Rhaella now walking at her side.

"Ah Rhaella might you take Cregan into town. Show him around to get use to his surroundings." Daemon appeared out of what seemed like thin air. But the way he talking, something was off, something about his tone made it seem like more of a demand that suggestion. Still Rhaella nodded her head making a mental note and left with Cregan to town.

The towns people love Rhaella she made sure always to show her face and be nice to the people because Driftmark was soon to be hers to rule over. They called her the people's princess because unlike some she made sure to treat everyone as a equal no matter their status.

She walked past peoples carts on the streets greeting everyone and making conversation. Cregan smiled in amusement, in the north it was said that the princess would be a brat and stuck up. But that wasn't what she was like at all, she was good and kind and put everyone before herself. She had a sweet heart and nothing but good intentions.

"Princess could I ask you something?" Cregan questioned.

"Only if you call me Rhaella. Go on Cregan, what is your question?" Rhaella request as the turned another coner. A stand caught her eye, a small girl and her mother where selling crowns made of flowers. Beautiful daisy, baby breaths, and roses all woven around to make a crown. Every time a person walked passed the little girl's face would light up and each time a person continued walking the girl's face would fall.
