Changing Destinies

Chapter 20

1 month time jump. Is Daemon and Rhaenyra's wedding day. I hope you guys like it 🥰

1 month later.

Rhaenyra smiled as one of her maids finished securing the crown on her head. The maids had been working hard since she had woken up that morning. They had prepared her a bath with sweet-smelling oils , after helping her bathe they had massaged her scalp and curled her hair. It had taken over two hours to get her ready and she was happy they were finally done .

"You look so pretty, muña." Helaena who had been sitting on a chair next to her smiled. The little girl had started speaking Valyrian more and more, especially when they were in front of other people. "Your gown is so beautiful."

"And look at you, my beautiful little hatchling." They had brought everything that Helaena would need and the little girl had gotten ready with her.They had prepared her a bath too, with different oils than the ones Rhaenyra had used. They had also pampered the little princess who had beendressed in a red gown. "You are the most beautiful princess in the world."

Helaena's smile was so large it overtook her entire face. "Thank you."

Daemon and Rhaenyra wanted the children to feel included in their special day, so they decided that the children would get ready with them. Helaena had gotten ready with Rhaenyra while Aegon and Aemond had gotten ready with Daemon. The boys would be going to the Sept with Daemon on horseback, while Helaena would be traveling with her and their father in the wheelhouse. The queen would be arriving separately with Otto and her brother.

"It is time for us to go." She took the little girl's hand and helped her off the chair. "We should not make Daemon and your brothers wait."

Helaena nodded and they made their way to the wheelhouse, where their father was already waiting for them .

The king was sitting inside and immediately smiled when he saw her. "You looked beautiful Rhaenyra ."

"Thank you." She lifted Helaena and waited until she was sitting before climbing in after her. Once they were all sitting she frowned at her father, who had not said anything else. "Helaena looks beautiful too, does she not?"

"Of course," The king said with a smile, almost like he had just noticed the small girl sitting next to her. "I like the pearls adoring your gown."

"Thank you, your grace." The small princess moved closer to her as she played with the large pearls that had been used to decorate her gown. "Papa gave them to me , he knows pearls are my favorite."

Their father gave the little girl a surprised look. "They are?"

Rhaenyra wanted to slap their father upside the head and see if maybe that would knock some sense back into him. The man had truly paid no attention to his children and had no interest in them.

The streets were surrounded by people, all cheering and waving. Rhaenyra was happy she had used the money to buy them food , they had also set up a small festival for them. There would be entertainment for the children and games for the adults. The small folk were very excited not to haveto worry about things for a day.

They made it to the Sept and the king got out first, smiling at the people before turning and extending a hand to help her down. The cheers became deafening as she stepped out and helped Helaena. They climbed the steps and she stopped once she was at the top and prompted her little sister to turn as they both waved. They turned back towards the entrance of the Sept and she intertwined a hand with her father while holding Helaena's hands with the other.
