The blood of the dragon and the sea

The Black Queen

Y/n POV

I was in the room where the map of Westeros is as I looked at it then I looked at the KingsLanding map and softly touched it. Helaena's dream about the beast beneath the boards has me on edge like someone will die and I feel like it would be me. If it is me, then I have to tell mother to make Jace her heir and have Luke be the heir of Driftmark. "There you are." Mother said making me look up and see her walk to me with her hand on her pregnant stomach. "Grandsire Viserys is going to die, isn't he?" I asked her. "Y/n." She said before I interrupted her.

"I can't be your heir, mother. I feel like something is going to happen to me and I'm worried. Not just you but with our family. If I were to ever die, you need to make Jace your heir, not me." I told her. "Y/n, nothing is going to happen to you, I swear it." Mother told me. "You don't know that!" I said to her harshly. "No one does. But we don't choose our destiny, Y/n. It chooses us. You never had a problem of being heir. What's so different now?" Mother asked me. "Just a feeling. Grandsire let you choose whether you'd be his heir. You told us so." I said to her softly.

She softly looked at me as she stood up next to me. "And do you want to know the truth of it? I was frightened. I was four and ten. Same as Luke is now. I wasn't ready to be queen of the Seven Kingdoms. But it was my duty. And, in time, I came to understand I had to earn my inheritance." Mother explained to me. "I'm not like you." I said to her with a fearful expression. "In what way, my sweet girl?" Mother asked me. "I'm not so. . . perfect." I said to her. She softly smiled at me before she walked up to me and softly kissed my head affectionately. She looked at me with her hand of my cheek as she stared at me softly. "I am anything but. My father looked after me and helped to prepare me for my duties. Your mother will do the same for you as you will do the same for Jaehaerys." Mother told me.

I nodded at her but still have that same bad feeling in my stomach. "Good morrow, princess." Ser Lorent greeted mother. Mother turned to him. "Good morrow, Ser Lorent." Mother greeted him back. See Lorent bowed to her. "Princess Rhaenys has just arrived on dragonback. She urgently requests an audience with you and Prince Daemon." Ser Lorent told her. Mother looked at me as she softly rubbed my arm. "I'll be training Jaehaerys with Luke and Jace." I told her as she nodded at me. I left the room and gathered Jaehaerys who was with Helaena and his younger siblings. "Let's go with your training, Jaehaerys." I said to him.

He immediately got up excitedly. He followed me outside where I see Jace and Luke sparring each other with a couple guards watching them. I made Jaehaerys get a practice sword as I did the same. I helped Jaehaerys with working on footwork and how to hold a sword properly. After that I made him attack me which was kinda sloppy but he will be better in years due time. After an hour we stopped and rest while we watched Jace and Luke spar. Jace was going hard in Luke as he punched him in the stomach making him bend down. Jace grabbed him harshly. "What was that?" Jace asked him as Luke grunts. "I'm sorry." Luke said to him.

"You might go easier on him, my Prince. So he can learn what you're trying to teach. Like prince Y/n is doing with the young Prince Jaehaerys." A kingsgaurd said to have. "Your lady mother needs to see you! All three of you." Grandmother Rhaenys said to us. I dropped the practice sword as Jaehaerys did the same and followed me to grandmother. "Can you take Jaehaerys to Helaena, grandmother?" I asked her. "Of course, my sweet Prince." Grandmother said to me as she smiled softly at me and then smiled at my son probably because we are the true offsprings of father and we are reminded of him by simply existing. She grabbed his hand and took him back to Helaena.

My brothers followed me to mother who looks like she was about to give birth but it is far too soon for our younger sibling to come out. "Mother?" I asked concerned for her and the babe. We all walked in the room next to the maester as we see mother pacing around the room groaning in pain. "Fuck." Mother groaned out. "Princess." Maester Gerardys called out to mother who was facing away from us. Mother turned to us while holding onto the wall. "Your grandsire, king Viserys, has passed." Mother told us as I stared at her shocked but sadness that my grandsire is dead. "Viserys?" Luke asked shocked.
