•• Chapter I ••
As Rhaella walked into Rhaenyra's room to pick up Jacaerys and Lucerys for the dragonpit, she saw a tiny baby in her arms. "Oh my gods, is the baby here?" Rhaella asked as her pace fastened walking up the few stairs. Looking into Rhaenyra's arms a warm, small, smile appeared on her face "May I hold, princess?" Rhaella asked. "Of course sweet, but you know you don't need to call me that." Rhaenyra assured handing the baby to her softly nodding.
"Quite the beauty." Rhaella complimented as her soft lavender eyes shined at the baby. "Father, please may I hold Joffery!!" Luke begged, he was basically on his knees to hold Joffery. "No, no, no!" Laenor responded loudly fighting with Luke's hands who was trying to grab the baby from Rhaella. "Joffery? I- I mean that's quite the name, princess." Rhaella quickly shrugged off making Rhaenyra give a small chuckle.
"Luke!" Rhaella said in a loud tone pulling the baby away from him. "Ah, ah back to the dragonpit for the both of you." Laenor demanded as he lightly pushed the two boys out the room. "Oh come on!" Luke sighed lowering his head.
Rhaella then giving the baby back to Rhaenyra she bowed before walking out of the room following the 2 boys. "Rhaella!" Rhaenyra called out to the blonde girl. Rhaella then turning around, looking at the mother who had just given birth through the doorway, she lifted her head. "You know you don't have to bow to me, I love you just as equally as my own children." Rhaenyra assured with a soft tone.
Rhaella then smiling back at her, she lifted her gown slightly before calling out for the 2 boys. "Jace, Luke, wait!" Rhaella called out as she ran through the castle halls. Suddenly as she ran around the corner, she ran into a maid, knocking the blankets out of her arms.
"So sorry, princess." The maid apologised bowing to the princess. "No, no it's my fault." Rhaella excused kneeling down, picking up the 3 blankets. Handing them back to the girl, she smiled. "Have a good day!" Rhaella cheered as she twirled around.
"I saw that!" Jace laughed as Rhaella walked up to the brothers. "Oh shut up!" Rhaella chuckled messing up his hair. "Are you not going to go get Aegon and Aemond." Luke asked looking at the girl next to him. "No, I'm sure they'll meet us there." Rhaella assured before pursing her lips.

As the group of boys and Rhaella walked towards Jaces dragon he was working on training. The dragon being dragged in chains by the 2 dragonkeepers, It was Rhaella's first day in the dragonpit, but she wasn't interested in training any other dragons — besides Mercury just yet. So she just watched as Jace commanded his dragon, over, and over.
Aegon then yarning sarcastically, he looked over to Rhaella. Her then raising an eyebrow at him, he slightly scoffed before Rhaella parted her lips. "Well? Go on." Rhaella stated giving Jace a slight push forward.
