"No! Father, please don't do this." I screamed thrashing underneath his strong arms when he had me smashed up against the stone wall smelling of flames meaning he must have executed another Hand who he believed was against him.

My father Aerys II had his hands on either side of my head trapping me in between the wall and his body before he began tearing parts of my dress. "You're mother can't be trusted anymore.  And I need another heir that you will give to me."

"But I'm your daughter." I gulped trying to push him away with my hands against the front of his chest when he began shifting his clothing downward until he was yanked backwards by smaller hands.

"Get your hands off of her, Aerys!"

I gasped seeing my mother holding him back away from me as best as she could since he was a lot stronger than she was. "Mother!"

"Jaime, get her out of here now." She didn't speak to me and rather called to the golden knight that had come running down the hall with her.  He had been escorting her to a new room when he was paranoid that she'd hurt me so we were on the opposite sides of our own home.

Jaime moved around where she stood gently taking a hold of my forearm, beginning to lead me away from them till I attempted to get away from him. "Mother! Wait, let go of me.  Urgh! We can't just leave her - Jaime, help her."

"Vaella, I can't.  She commanded that I look after you.  I - I can't use my sword against my sworn King." Jaime tightened his grip, spinning me back so his hands were holding me by my shoulders.

I heard my father shout at her before she whimpered, getting dragged into the available chamber room. "Aerys!"

"But he's - he's going to hurt her.  You've seen the bruising." I felt tears falling down my face, hating to see my mother be treated by here husband that way and it made it even worse that he was also her brother who was treating her so harshly.

Jaime touched the side of my face and I leaned into his palm. "I'm so sorry, princess.  But it's her way of protecting you." He noticed that the tears got heavier so he wrapped his arms around my waist bringing me against his embrace.

"If I ever have kids I'll never force them to marry their own siblings.  It leads to too much cruelty." Burying my face into his armored chest holding onto him as closely as possible just heavy sobbing.

Standing on the edge of the snowy mountain near Winterfell with my horse standing off to the side while I heard the sound of the dragons flying towards our direction.  My sister looked down at me while she dove down and landed her dragon a few steps away from me.  She slowly slides down one of her dragon's wings walking over to me. "You coming up here to fly one of my dragons, sister?"

"Not exactly.  I'm good with just having one dragon to ride for my entire life.  But I do have something to talk with you about though." I shake my head no with the wind blowing my white cloak around behind me.

Daenerys clasped her hands together in front of her chest. "What do you want to talk about, Vaella?"

"Now that we both know about who Jon Snow really is I was thinking he shouldn't have to have a bastard title anymore.  He deserves to be part of our Targaryen family and show the world that the three of us are nothing like our father Aerys II Targaryen was.  Regardless of us coming from the bloodline of who we all called The Mad King."

She smiled, completely agreeing with my idea. "I think that's a brilliant idea, sister."

"I'll tell Tyrion and Missandi to gather everyone.  Sansa as well.  Then we also need to discuss the plan to remove Cersei from the throne." I reminded her even though I knew she hadn't forgotten about the original goal that had brought us together now that they army of the dead was gone forever.
