Song of Ice and Fire

Second of His Name

Y/n POV

I was outside with Rhaenyra and Allyria with Aerys our son who is only two. Rhaenyra loves her younger cousin as she acts like a mother to him. I remember after me and Allyria consummated she immediately fell pregnant with Aerys. We presented him to uncle Viserys who looked proudly at our son. Him and Alicent has a son as well and is the same age as Aerys and they named him Aegon after the conqueror. Anyways back to us Rhaenyra was reading a book as I played with my son who was running around as Allyria was watching us with a fond smile on her face, there was a servant boy playing a song for us. Aerys loves to run around making me really tired even though I'm 17.

When Aerys was born Rhaenyra put a dragon's egg in his cradle and two weeks later the egg hatched. Aerys is so attached to his dragon that he brings him everywhere. Right now his dragon is laying down next to Rhaenyra laying comfortably on her lap. Once the servant boy finished singing Rhaenyra without looking at him told him to sing it again. "Perhaps the princess might like to hear something else?" The servant boy asked her. "She would not. Play it again." Rhaenyra said. The servant boy played the song again as I picked up Aerys as he squealed happily making Rhaenyra and Allyria smile at us. I see Alicent walk up to us making the servant boy stop playing and greeted her.

"Your Grace." He greeted as he stood up. "Did I say to stop? From the beginning." Rhaenyra told him without looking up from her book. He looked at her for a moment before sitting back down and played the song again. "Rhaenyra?" Alicent called to her. "Yes, my queen?" Rhaenyra asked without looking at her. "Your presence is wanted in the outer courtyard. The royal hunt readies to depart." Alicent told her. "I've decided to remain here and read instead." Rhaenyra told her as I gave Aerys to Allyria who immediately snuggled into his mother's arms. "You may go, Samwell." Alicent ordered Samwell. "You are to stay by the order of the princess." Rhaenyra ordered him.

Alicent gave her a look before looking at Samwell who looks hesitant on who to listen to. "The queen commands you to leave the Godswood at once." Alicent ordered him using the queen card on him. He left us alone after bowing to us. "The king wishes for you, Allyria, Aerys and Y/n to join us." Alicent told us. "The king has much to celebrate. He does not need me." Rhaenyra said. "He wants us all to be together. Perhaps the hunt could be fun." Alicent told us. "Is it the king's command?" Allyria asked. "Yes, but it. . ." Alicent said before getting interrupted by Rhaenyra. "Then at once, your Grace." Rhaenyra said. Rhaenyra and Allyria stood up as Alicent looks sadly at her old friend as Aerys small dragon went on Rhaenyra's shoulders. "But it needn't be. None of it needs be this way in truth, Rhaenyra." Alicent said as Rhaenyra ignores her and walked away with me and Allyria following her with our son in her arms.

We walked to the outer courtyard where Viserys is waiting for us with my baby cousin, Aegon with his wet nurse. We got in the carriage with Alicent and we rode off to the royal hunt. I had Aerys in my lap as I'm between Rhaenyra and Allyria while Aerys dragon is settled in Rhaenyra's lap asleep. "Well, isn't this splendid. The whole of our family off to celebration and adventure in the Kingswood." Viserys said happily to us together as he smiled at my son. Rhaenyra looked at Alicent who heavily pregnant with her second child to the king. "Should you be traveling in such condition?" Rhaenyra asked her. "The maester said that being out in nature would do me well." Alicent told her. "Well, you will be with your own child sooner than late, and make me a proud gransire. Y/n already made me a proud great uncle." Viserys said proudly.

"It's not so bad. The days are long, but Aegon came quickly and without fuss." Alicent told her. "It's true, Aerys came faster than I expected, he is a happy boy." Allyria said making Rhaenyra smile at her as she plays with Aerys who was petting his dragon that he will name when he is older. The carriage was in silence for a couple seconds before uncle Viserys spoke to Rhaenyra. "You should ride out with me today. Join in the chase." Viserys said to her. "I'd rather not. The boars squeal like children when they're being slaughtered. I find it discomforting." Rhaenyra said. "It's a hunt, Rhaenyra. How would you like to participate?" Viserys asked her. "I'm not sure why I must." Rhaenyra said as Aerys grabs her hand while he babbles to himself. I kissed his head affectionately as Allyria leans her head on my left shoulder.
