OF BASTARDS & DRAGONS || Aenar Targaryen [1]

08 • THE DREAMER

"Do you still have nightmares?" Aemma questioned.

"Not anymore." Daenerys lies, trying not to let her mother worry. "Though I had one few weeks ago."

"What did you see?"

"I saw you lying abed, carrying a male babe, the bells tolled, the sun stood at it's horizon, the seas roared and winds blew south then the dragons roared as one whilst we named him Aegon, the second." Daenerys tells her mother, taking a bite of her cookie.

Aemma rubs her belly, chuckling. "The conqueror's namesake? Is that because your father wants a son?" The Queen questioned.

"No I saw it mother, the dream was crystal clear, and I just want a sibling to look after, I want to be a big sister, take him on dragon riding, teach him how to ride a horse, bake cakes and makes cookies, read him stories." Daenerys offered hopefully.

Aemma smiles. "You'll be a good sister."

"And I'll get to hold him first when he's born, since I'm a dreamer.."

The queen chuckles. "Agreed prophetess Daenerys, I even love the egg you and Rheanyra chose for him, it's beautiful, very soon you'll be a mother like me, i cannot wait to share the joy of motherhood with you two."

"A day I anticipate, unlike Rheanyra, I plan on naming my first daughter after you. Aemma the Second."

The queen chuckles. "I'd love that." she rubs her belly, taking a bite of her cookie, as her handmaid comes to serve her milk tea.

"Tell me Dani, what's your issue with Alicent?" she taps her daughter with her leg.

Daenerys shrugs. "I don't like her." she bluntly says.

"Why sweetling."

Daenerys sighs, she can't tell anyone she's being seeing Alicent in her dreams, especially now that her mother is due.

"Alicent flaunts her religion too much, acts so perfect and pious. She should be far away from our family. That girl is leech."

"Dani....stop that. She's a good girl, well raised and respectful, her father has served us loyally, they're good people." Aemma remarked. "That doesn't mean you should hate her for it."

"Oh but I do. I hate her, more even despise her." Daenerys deadpans.

"Dani, hatred is a sin. You shouldn't say that, Alicent is your sister's best friend. You're hurting Rheanyra's feelings sweetling."

"And what of my feelings mother? Don't I deserve to be close friends with my twin? "

"Is this because Rheanyra....."

"Mother it's everything. I can't spend time with my sister, because Alicent is in the picture, the girl keeps taking what she can't chew, not only has she stolen my twin, she's also planning on stealing Uncle Aenar." Daenerys complains.

"Oh stop that, your uncle likes Alicent, that's nothing to be angry about. They're good together." the Queen defends.

Daenerys scoffs. "Please mother, don't tell me you want Uncle to marry that green viper, the daughter of a second son"

"Daenerys Targaryen that is enough. Stop saying dis-speakable names, you're a princess not a street rat." Aemma cautions.

The princess huffs.

"If you have a misunderstanding with your sister talk to her directly, don't hate Alicent, she's innocent."

"She's not." Daenerys retorts. "And uncle Aenar doesn't suit her."

"Why?"

"Because there are far better girls in the realm than the color green. I hate greens." Daenerys spat distastefully.
