Visenya Targaryen and Xanner Strong have been in love since they were children, but Visenya's father is not on board with his daughter marrying. Daemon Targaryen is having some issues with his daughter growing up. Rhaenyra decides to help her daught...
This is a very short chapter, just showing Daemon's reaction to his children's fight. Rhaegon makes a confession and things get a little ugly. 😬
"What was that?" Daemon had followed Rhaegon to his chambers. If his son thought he could leave without giving him any answers then he did not know him well. "Rhaegon! You will explain yourself at once." "I have to explain myself?" His son poured himself some wine, taking a sip before looking at him. "Visenya is the one that attacked me, she was waiting for me. Why are you not asking her to explain herself?" "If it had been Aemma, Baelon, or Aenys then I would be asking them." Baelon also followed after them after he realized something was wrong and gave Daemon a sharp glare. "But this is Visenya we are speaking of. Your sister has never been violent. It took me moons to convince her to let me train her to defend herself." "Well, you thought her well." Daemon glared at him and Rhaegon let out a sigh. "It is between my sister and I." "Oh, I do not think so." Daemon moved closer to his eldest son. "I have never seen your sister so upset. So, you are going to tell me what happened before I beat it out of you." "You have never beaten any of us in your life." "There is a first time for everything." Rhaegon just stared at him and Daemond smirked when he realized his son was attempting to stare him down. "Tell me the truth Rhaegon." What bothered Daemon most of all was that his son still would not look him in the eye for long and when he did all Daemon could see was guilt. Something must have happened for his daughter to act that way. She had not just been mad, she had been hurt. "I did something that upset her. She just found out today." Daemon snorted, that was an understatement. Rhaegon let out a tired sigh and lowered his head. "I fucked Jaehaera." It took him a few minutes to react. Daemon thought he heard wrong at first, and once he actually realized that he had heard correctly, he wanted to deny it. His son would not do something so cruel, he would not take advantage of a sweet girl, who loved him. Then rage filled his body and before his mind could make sense of what was happening Daemon had moved, picked Rhaegon up by his collar, and slammed him on the table, the wine flask falling to the ground. Daemon saw Baelon move towards him, but his glare stopped him in his tracks. Daemon looked back at Rhaegon and he had never wanted to hit his son more. "What the fuck did you do? How could you do that? What the fuck were you thinking?" His son did not say anything, just stared at him. Daemon picked him up and threw him on the ground. He would do something unforgivable if he stayed so close to him. "That girl took care of you for moons, she did everything she could to make you more comfortable. Jaehaera is one of the sweetest girls in the whole of Westeros and she is in love with you. How could you use that against her? How could you take advantage of her?" "I find it hilarious that you are speaking to me about taking advantage of people." Daemon's eyes narrowed and he could have sworn Baelon groaned, but Rhaegon just smirked at him. "Correct me if I am wrong, but was it not you who took my mother to a pleasure house when she was even younger than Jaehaera and deflowered her in a room filled with whores to force grandsire to marry you?" Daemon's vision turned red and his hand snapped out, backhanding Rhaegon so hard his son fell back onto the ground. "Papa!" Baelon looked surprised but did not move to help his brother. "Whatever you think you know, you do not." Rhaegon wiped the blood from his mouth and Daemon pointed a finger at him. "Leave your mother out of this. Even if I had done horrible things I raised you to be better. I never wanted you to be like me, I did not want you to make the same mistakes I did. We have spoken about this before and I have always overlooked your mistakes. But this time you have gone too far Rhaegon and now you will have to deal with the consequences." "What does that mean?" "You will marry Jaehaera." "No." Rhaegon stood, eyes narrowing. "That would be a punishment for Jaehaera. I would make her miserable." "You should have thought of that before you took advantage of her." Both men faced each other, eye to eye. His sons were as tall as he was. "Jaehaera is a princess of the blood, she is a Targaryen and she will not be shamed." "I cannot." Rhaegon shook his head, his mouth set in a hard line. "That would be even more cruel to her. I was the one that made the mistake, I took advantage and I will not make her pay for it for the rest of her life." "It will be even worse if people find out." "I will do it." Daemon and Rhaegon turned to Baelon in surprise. His son looked calm. "I will marry Jaehaera."
