As soon as the sun rose in the sky, the bells could be heard in King's Landing, there were guards everywhere on the streets, announcements about the birth of a new princess were scattered everywhere.

Dragons were flying around the castle letting the people see and hear them joining their cries into a beautiful song
Princess Rhaenyra gave birth to her first daughter, everyone in the castle has attended to see the little princess, some maidens and other ladys from court giving gifts to the newly born child.

The King and his wife, Queen Alicent have come to see the new Targaryen princess themselves, giving her their blessings and warm welcomes in the family.

"Well done my girl" says the King and then goes to hug his daughter

"I do hope the labour was easy"

"I do think I called one of the maidens a cunt"

The King only smiled at his daughter, everyone was so happy that a princess finally arrived, to be honest, there were to many boys in the family and the King wished for a granddaughter for a long time, now his wish came true.

"She is magnificent" the Queen has become found of the little princess very fast, she has been holding her in her arms since they came to see her. The baby has slowly opened her eyes looking directly in the Queens eyes.

"Hello there, little one" although she cannot see that well yet, the little princess beautiful lilac-violet eyes never left Alicent's.

"Please, I wish to hold my granddaughter too" the King looked at his wife asking her to give him the baby and she did, he carefully took her in his arms, almost like she was a rare jewelry that could beak or tear apart if even the slightest pressure is put on her.

"Gods be good, they blessed us with the Goddess of Old Valerya" the King was happier than ever, even though the child was just born, her Valyrian features could be seen, most obvious one being her lilac-violet eyes, her pale skin and a little bit of platinum-white strands of hair being seen on her little head.

"Here, take her, you should both go and get some rest" the King handed the baby to her mother, indeed the child and the mother needed a well deserved rest

As Rhaenyra took her daughter in her arms again, the King and his wife stood now in each other's arms still looking at the little child.

Soon the door opened letting in 3 curious children, Rhaenyra's half siblings

"Father, cand we see the little baby too?" the kings older soon who is 10 years old is curious to see his little niece, and he forced his little sister, Haelena, who is 7 and his little brother, Aemond, who is 5 years old, to come with him, it will be more convincing if all of them came, so the King only nodded his head in agreement.

Rhaenyra placed her daughter in her cradle so that her siblings could be able to see their niece.

Soon the 3 loud children were around the princess's cradle, curious violet eyes watching her.

"Look, the baby is yawning" little princess Haelena was so excited seeing the baby yawn, like it was something unseen by the world and she was the first to see that.

"Is it a boy? " little Aegon looked up at his big sister waiting to hear if he has another nephew

"A girl, Aegon, you have a niece" the relationship Rhaenyra has with her half siblings is not that bad, they used to come around her when she gave birth to her 2 sons, Jace and Luke, and ask her questions about the baby's.

"Finally, I will have someone to dress with, oh, and I will braid her hair" Haelena was so happy that finally she won't be the only girl in the family, besides her big sister that is old and does not play with toys anymore.

"Does she have a name, sister? Do we call her niece? " right, everyone was so taken with her beauty even though she is a baby, that they did not think of a name yet.

Since he entered the room, little Aemond never paid attention to his family, he only stood by the little princess's right side, the cradle was low enough for him to gently stoke the girls checks, he is 5 years old, he could speak but he was more of a quite child, but then Rhaenyra could hear him murmur something.

"leh-rys" that's all that Aemond said, and without him knowing, he just helped his older sister choose a name for her daughter.

"Aelerys, her name is Aelerys Targaryen" Rhaenyra said looking at her little girl, the girl that brought light in her dark life.

"Princess Aelerys" said Aegon and did a little bow before his niece.

"My name is Aegon and I am going to be your favorite uncle" everyone started to laugh when they heard Aegon.

"lehrys, emond" Aemond said, pointing his hands toward him when he said his name, he was telling the little girl his name making everyone smile proudly at the scene before them.

And from the day Aelerys Targaryen was born, her presence alone brought the happiness on her family and as time went by she did brought them a little more close to each other, but since she came in this world, Aemond has finally found a reason to smile and be happy.
