Lady Johanna Lannister was born to Lord Tywin Lannister and Princess Daella Targaryen his first wife.
Lady Johanna held no Lannister looks thus, Aerys II the Mad King demanded she marry his second born son the Prince Daemon Targaryen.
10 moons afte...
Johanna lay under her husband as he groaned into her ear as he used her body in his intoxicated state. He demanded her presence every day, no matter if he was drunk or not. A final insult to the Prince Daemon Targaryen, and the insult was that he was bedding his wife, while he could not.
Everyone in the realm had known how much the Prince loved his wife. He would look to her for guidance, reason and security. Prince Daemon had been a man ruled by his emotions and impulses rather than reason and logic.
Lady Johanna had been the complete opposite, ruled by reason and logic. She had been her father reborn, so the realm said. The two of them balanced each other out, her logic and reason balanced his impulses and bursts of emotions.
They had also produced the most beautiful Targaryen children, so said the Singers, Maesters and Historians, in generations. They were the picture of Royalty with their children running around them as they stood watching with smiles on their faces.
It broke Johanna's heart that Daemon was unable to watch his children grow up. She had heard stories that he was a sell sword now while his mother and siblings sold anything they could find or make in the markets Daemon would bring them to as he sold his skills with his sword.
Johanna is pulled from her thoughts when she feels liquid shooting up into her and Robert rolls onto his side watching as she sits up as she smoothes out her skirts while he does up his breeches with a sigh.
Taking a deep breath Johanna stands as she shakes out her skirts and leaves without looking behind her as Robert watches. Just as she reaches the door Robert calls out "Wife."
Startled Johanna turns around to look at the King who sits up and waves her over to him, which she complies to with a slight frown on her face.
"My King?"
"Lay back down."
Taking a deep breath Johanna lays back down as she looks up at the ceiling as she starts to count back in her head from 10 waiting for what would not come.
"We are to travel North" Robert tells her which makes Johanna turn to Robert in surprise. He never spoke to her if he could help it.
"Why my lord?"
"With Jon Arryn dead, I am in need of a new Hand of the King. Ned Stark, he is the only one I trust with the post."
Johanna nods as she looks up again as she lets her hands rest on her stomach, she should have seen this coming. She was not as clever as she thought she was.
"My son? Aegon, is he to join us or is he to go to Dragonstone before?"
"He may join us then go to Dragonstone when we return."
Johanna nods with a relieved sigh as she smiles "I thank you, my lord husband."
"Our children."
"What of them?"
"They do not look royal." Johanna frowns at Robert's words and turns to look at him as he looks back at her.
"What do you mean?"
"The dragon spawn look more royal then they do. You are to change this."
"How do I change this? I have no idea how to make them comfortable in their own skin." Johanna tells him "I try to be close to them but they want nothing to do with me."
"I do not believe this."
"Believe what you wish, but I know my children."
"Are you saying I do not know my own children?"
"Yes, you are never there." Johanna glares at Robert who looks back at her watching as she sits up as she turns to lean against a bed post as she plays with the rings on her fingers. "The only times I remember you being with our children are their birthdays, and formal occasions."
Robert looks down at her words as he sits up, leaning against the headboard. "The Targaryen children did not have their father either but they still look royal when they should look like lords!"
Robert's roar takes Johanna aback, he watches as his wife jumps almost falling as her arms fly out to steady herself. "I have no control over how they seem, they were born into royalty and maybe that stayed with them. I have no idea."
"Well, find out and change it."
"Why? You will not see them soon."
Robert glares at Johanna who bows her head as she stands "Yes, my Lord King" with that Johanna turns and walks out of the King's bedchamber as Robert watches with hurt in his eyes.
