126 AC - Kingslanding
Rhaella and Helaena was on their way to the courtyard for afternoon tea with the rest of their family. They would be spending the rest of the day outside as a family so Rhaella had brought a book to pass time with.
The pair was the last ones to arrive, they parted and Rhaella sat down between Aegon and Aemond while Helaena sat down on Aemonds other side. On the table were all sorts of fruit and cakes wich made her smile. Rhaella looked up to Alicent and she immediately dropped her happy smile.
"What is wrong" Rhaella asked as the others didn't seem to want to ask. "The Lady Laena Velaryon has passed in childbirth" said Alicent while looking to the youngest girl. "She was Daemons second wife and the aunt to Rhaenyras children. We will leave in the morning for her funeral on Driftmark". Rhaella had never been to Driftmark so the thought of finally getting to see the home of Westeros most powerful fleet was exiting to her.
"Do we have to go?" Aegon asked in his usual annoyed tone. Alicent gave him a stern look and no one dared to ask again.
"Rhaella, your true father along with your half sisters will be there" Rhaella nodded. She was aware of that but she didn't know what to feel about it. Should she be happy? angry? or sad? she didn't know. "They cannot know who you really are. We will pretend that you are Helaenas twin sister as that is already what they think. Do you all understand?" Alicent asked looking around at her childrens faces. "Yes, mother" we all answered. Though it felt weird for Rhaella to call queen Alicent mother.
After they had eaten Rhaella was laying on a blanket with Helaena when she saw Aemond on a bench a few meters away. She decided that she wanted to apologize for the pig thing and see if they could become friends again. Rhaella walked until she was stood in front of Aemond. "May i sit?" she gestured to the seat beside him. Aemond continued to read his book but gave Rhaella a little nod that made her sit instantly.
"I am sorry for the pig. I truly did not know they had planned to do that" Rhaella apologised. Aemond looked at her "It's okay, i know you would never do something like that." he reasured her. Rhaella noded "what are you reading?"
Rhaella and Aemond had always been close no one would think they weren't siblings by blood. Sometimes even Viserys and Alicent would forget she weren't Aemonds blood sister.
Before Aemond could start to explain what his book was about Aegon interupted them. "Do you like my betrothed, brother" he asked Aemond with that irritating smile of his. Aemond looked confused towards Rhaella.
"Betrothed? You are to marry Aegon?" Aemond asked her he sounded like he was hurt by the fact she would marry him. "Yes, when i turn eighteen but..." before she could say anymore Aemond was already gone. She had just become friends with him again and now Aegon ruined it. Again.
"Why did you do that?" Aegon had never heard her that mad before. "He obviously likes you more than a friend so he needed to know he won't be able to develop your friendship into something more." Aegon said as though it was the most obvious in the world. "I don't like you" was all she answered before walking with Helaena back to their chambers to pack for Driftmark.

- Driftmark
Rhaella and her family had just arrived to driftmark with boat. If Moonfyre had been big enough she would have taken her but she was still to small. Rhaella was stood beside Leanor and Aegon as it was her place now that he was her betrothed. Even Though she problably would have stood there no matter what.
Vaemonds speech bored Rhaella so she just stood in her own thoughts looking out over the ocean. What got her back to reality was a laugh coming from a tall white haired man. Rhaella didn't quit recognize the man but she had her suspecion as to who it was.
She nudged to Aegons arm making him look down at her. "Is that The prince Daemon?" she asked making Aegon look in the same direction. He smiled when he saw the man and turned his attention back to Rhaella whispering "Yes, thats your father".
After Laenas body had been dropped down in the dark, deep ocean they walked back to were the small gathering would be held. Rhaella was stood with her two brothers who were in deep conversation while she stood looking at Daemon. She would look at every little detail of his face and compare them to her, coming to the conclusion that she looked liked him. After deciding she didn't want to hear more of her brothers conversation she walked over to the king. She headed for the small chair beside him. Seeing her come over Viserys greeted her with a sweet smile.
"Do you think i will ever get to know my real father and sisters?" Rhaella asked Viserys. "I believe that when the time is right we will tell them who you really are. But they aren't ready for the truth yet" Viserys aswered his favourit niece. Rhaella smiled to him and looked back to Daemon and her half sisters. Daemon caught her looking at him and seeing her face she reminded him of someone. Her eyes and nose looked exactly like someone he knew he just didn't know who.
It was starting to become dark when all the kings children was told to retire to their chambers. As usual Rhaella and Helaena shared a room. The two girls changed their dresses and laid comfortably under the warm blankets in their beds.
JJ here, so this is part one of the Driftmark episode only one chapter more before she will age up : )
