CHAPTER ELEVEN Bonded By Blood
THE SUN now shone over the whole island of Driftmark and Rhaenyra was getting her arm stitched from the cut Alicent made, her three eldest children sat at or stood around the circular table with their mother. The maester was careful with the needle and thread, but Princess Rhaenyra still winced at the pain occasionally.
Jaehaera barely got cleaned up since her first time on a dragon and since the chaos in the hall, same as her brothers: who had bloody and dirty faces still from Aemond. But she did get the one cut under her lip cleaned since it was deeper than the others, her first landing with her dragon would forever go down as the roughest yet.
But Aemond still had only one eye because of the things he said in the halls of their chambers, Jaehaera decided that she didn't feel bad about it. She of course wasn't angry with her brothers for defending themselves and their cousins either, yet she only regretted cutting her uncle's eye out because she knew how this looked on her family.
"The moment I was close enough to you I could tell you had been near a dragon." Rhaenyra looked away from her arm and spoke to her daughter to distract herself from the stitches she was getting, the mother was still very stunned about her only daughter claiming one of the three wild dragons in Westeros. "Now that you have one, I will have the smiths make the Cannibal a saddle. You'll have much easier landings from now on."
"A saddle would help." Jaehaera agreed with a smile. "And I would have hid the fact that I rode a dragon better if I didn't hear all the yelling that came down from the tunnel and then . . ."
The young Princess trailed off— not wanting to say what she did since everyone in the whole realm probably knew by now— while messing with her hair that felt like straw after all the sand that was mixed into it when taking off and landing with the Cannibal.
"Trying to hide it from me wouldn't have worked, my sweet girl." Rhaenyra kept her eyes on her daughter so she wasn't looking at the needle going through and out of her skin. "Though you could have tried."
"I'm glad I didn't try," Jaehaera's violet eyes fell on her brother's. "I'm just grateful I was able to defend my blood."
Jace and Luke silently thanked their older, and only, sister as Rhaenyra watched her children with soft eyes. "What happened during the night must've been very scary. You all are so brave and I do not wish to see you in such despair ever again. It was me who should've been there, I am terribly sorry that I was not."
