How to be a lesbian in Westeros

Chapter 4: The black and green wedding.

Months had past, you knew thanks to your informant from Kings Landing, Mysaria, that the council of your brother had been pushing him to marry someone, Corlys proposed her daughter Laena as an option, both Rhaenys and you didn't like that and you persuaded your brother to decline that option, which Corlys took it to heart and left the capital to return to Driftmark.
One time you went back to visit your niece and your brother, and he told you that the council even proposed you as a possible wife to him, you knew that he respected your opinions, but you were well aware that if he choose you, you wouldn't have much to say, your a woman, and unfortunately women don't have a say here, sometimes you wish you could have born a man, at least you could take your own choice's and you would be married to Rhaenys by now.

Two weeks later since your last visit to the capital, your enjoying breakfast with Daemon when a knight informs you that a raven from the Capital just arrived, they approached you with the piece of paper.

Princess Aeriana, your presence and Daemon's is required in the Red Fortress, the King has made a choice, he's going to get married and he wants to tell you two with who by first hand, we expect you here by the end of the day.

-The hand of the King

Aeriana passed the letter to her brother so he could read
-Fucking cunt, I want to kill him sister, he's poisoning our brother's mind with his dirty mouth
-Look, I like this as little as you do, but we have to go anyway, I'm worried who might he choose
-You think it's you right?
-I don't know brother, but I do know that the council proposed me as an option, I know that he knows that I don't want this, but we both know how our brother's think, he wants to preserve Valiryan heritage at all coast.
-I will not let him do that to you, I promise
-You don't have much to say as I don't have either, now we must prepare to leave, I will send first a raven for Rhaenys, so she knows what could happen
-She won't take it well if brother chooses you
-Yeah well she will have to live with that, as I did when she married Corlys, now go and prepare yourself and your dragon, we're leaving in an hour.

Once you arrived to Dragonpit both of you were scorted to the Red Fortress and to the council room, when you entered, the council was there, the King, the hand of the King, Rhaenyra the heir, and Alicent, and why the last one was here you didn't understood.
-Brother, sister I'm glad that you finally arrived, we where expecting you both, I made a decision with which I'm going to marry, at first I considered you, my dear sister, you where the best choice and I wanted that but I couldn't do that to you, I love you and respect you so much and I would never hurt you intentionally, so, a woman has been visiting my chambers to keep me company, talk to me, make sure I am okay, she took care of me, and this woman, she's the woman I'm going to marry, Lady Alicent Hightower.
Daemon and you look at each other in disbelief, you look for your niece, she's angry, you can tell that, she's looking straight to Alicent, like she could kill her by just looking to her.
You were the first to spoke
-Can Daemon an I have the room to ourselves with the King please?
-I don't think that's necessary, the King has already made his choice-. Otto said
-I said, that my brother and I wanted to speak to the King, so make yourself a fucking favor and leave the room now, you don't want to make me angry, Otto.
-Behave yourself sister, everyone leave, it's okay-. Viserys said.
When everyone left and the doors where closed, you looked to Viserys straight to his eyes.
-Are you out of your mind? How could you be so foolish?
-What are you talking about sister? You didn't want me to marry you, you didn't want me to marry lady Laena, I didn't had many options where to choose
-You could choose to marry no one, you already have an heir, so why marry someone else?
-I'm the king, it's what I'm supposed to do, marry someone so I have a queen who rule by my side and give me children, Rhaenyra will continue being my heir no matter what.
-And your foolish enough to believe that when you finally have a son, the council will still agree with Rhaenyra being the heir, or that Otto did this to ensure the throne to his family, are you that foolish brother?-. said Daemon this time.
-I'm the King, and they will respect what I decided, I'm the authority here. Now, I have things to do, you two are welcome to stay here for the wedding next week, if not you're free to go.
-I'm not staying here to witness this, I'm going back to Dragonstone, sister?-. Daemon said
-I'm sorry Daemon, I must stay, for Rhaenyra, I don't want to leave her alone.
-Very well, goodbye brother, sister, you know where your room is.
Daemon approached you
-Are you sure about that? I don't want to leave you here with all this greens around.
-I'll be fine, don't worry, besides I need someone in Dragonstone, I will send ravens everyday, don't worry.
Both of your brother's left, and you started looking for your niece, you knew something happened with her, not just that her best friend was going to marry her father, something more bothered her.
She was laying below a tree in the gardens
-What's bothering you, I know that it's not just about Alicent and your father marrying, spit it out.
-I can't tell you, you will hate me for that, it doesn't matter anyway, I've been fooled.
-I'm pretty sure I would never hate you for anything, and I'm pretty sure I know what's this about, you two were together right?
She looked at you in disbelief
-How did you know?
-By the way you two used to look at each other, besides I fancy girls too, it takes one to know another one.
-You like girls?
-Yes, why do you think I didn't wanted to marry any man? The only person I want to marry is already married.
She looked at you like she knew of who were you talking about.
-Oh, now I understand many things, the looks, the sneaking out, the way you to search for one another, you're talking about Rhaenys. For how much this is going on aunt?
-Since before you were even born, we were around your age.
-Why you didn't tell me before?
-Well, you know how is Rhaenys, she feared what could happen to us.
-But I would never tell anyone, you know that aunt.
-Yeah, I know that, but she didn't want to tell anyone.
-And you're still together?
-Well yes, as much as her married life let's us, she has duties, she says that her and Corlys doesn't share since she got pregnant with Laena, that he has other women.
-And you believe her?
-Yes, she never gave me reasons to not trust her.
-But she betrayed you, she married him and gave him two children
-She didn't, she was forced and she's loyal to me, not to him, and Laena and Laenor are my children, I raised them with her, he was always away, please don't speak about her like that, niece, she means the world to me, don't do that again.
-I'm sorry, I won't. How much are you staying? Did you came to say goodbye? Or are you staying for the wedding?
-I'm staying, I won't leave you alone with this shit situation.

During the week the guests were arriving, since Corlys was angry because her daughter wasn't marrying the King, the Velaryon family stayed at Driftmark, at least that's what Rhaenys said on the letter, that's why Aeriana was surprised when she saw Meleys flying over the Red Fortress.
Aeriana sneaked out to go to the Dragonpit, when she arrived she saw Rhaenys leaving Meleys behind and to your direction.
-What are you doing here? I thought that you weren't coming to the wedding.
-I said that the Velaryon's weren't coming, I'm a Targaryen.-.you snorted at that
-You missed me right? couldn't lose the opportunity to be with me.
-Don't flatter yourself, I came to my cousin wedding-. she teased.
-So if you didn't miss me, then I assume that you don't want to sleep with me, on my chambers.
-I didn't said that, there's nothing more that I want than sleep by your side, of course I came because I missed you, idiot.
-You wound me by insulting me, my Queen.
-Don't say that in public, someone could hear you, specially now that Alicent will become the Queen.
-Oh come on, Viserys would never let something happen to me.
-I trust no one but you, Aeriana.
-He's your cousin, and my brother, you can trust him.
-I only trust you and our kids.
-Love, come on, don't be like that, their your family and they would never betray us, now not more about this, let's go to my chambers.

The day of the wedding arrived, you were next to Rhaenys at the front, Viserys already waiting at the altar, when Alicent entered the room, the sight of the dress made you angry, it was white, but you could see that had details in green, what a bold move of his father, because you knew that Alicent was just pawn in Otto's game of thrones between the black and the greens.
You knew that today would mark a before and after in history, that from today on things would change. Today a war begins.
