He was Prince Juran Martell, younger brother to the Ruling Prince of Dorne - the only person Qoren truly trusted. And so when a letter, written from King's Landing, arrives with an invitation, it's Juran that is sent to entertain King Viserys Targar...
HOUSE OF THE DRAGON — season one, rhaenyra targaryen x male oc
A letter, written and signed by King Viserys Targaryen, arriving in Dorne had been a suspicious surprise, not near enough welcomed warmly.
Juran Martell had not wanted to follow through with his brother's request that it be him who travelled to King's Landing. Any attempt of refusal he made were all ignored, and for good reason, Qoren — the elder of the brothers — was the Ruling Prince of Dorne and the only person he truly trusted was the only sibling he had ever come to know, Juran.
And that's how Juran found himself entertaining the House of the Dragon in their home. He had always wondered about their creatures and culture, a growing disappointment when he's not at all met with what he had always believed. The Keep, the King and the Queen, the stories, all disinterested him — he thought the King a fool, and had written to his brother saying such.
I have yet to meet the King's daughter and heir, Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, but the relationship between she and the Queen. . . hate spews this Keep, had been important enough to mention to Qoren, who by the day grew worried for his brother and regretted ever agreeing to a Martell presence at Court for sometime.
And then, one day, a young boy — so different to the Queen's children with their bright hair and piercing purple eyes — with dark curled hair runs right into him, wearing the colours of House Targaryen, muttering rushed and worried apologises out to him, more than likely pressured by the scowling face of the Queen Alicent Hightower.
That's when Juran meets one of the boys the Queen had not at all quietly spoken of — a bastard, she claimed, and he understood that to be true. A beautiful boy, he was, but not at all looking like the silver-haired children he had met. But he never got the hatred of bastards, not failing to catch the look he's thrown by both Alicent and Ser Criston Cole when he smiles at the boy, introducing himself.
It was then that the heir, the Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, carrying a babe in her womb, made herself known, followed by another boy — with that same dark hair, blue eyes this time staring at him.
Meeting her was the first time since arrival was Juran Martell made speechless.
