Game Of Thrones:Lady Blackthorne

CHAPTER 37

The next afternoon, Aldarra took Tywin by the hand and they walked out to the dragon pits. He sat down on a chair and said, “Ok, Aldarra, my love. Show me.” Aldarra stood out in the middle of the pit and was looking to the skies searching for her dragons.

Tywin asked after a few moments, “How long will it take?”

Aldarra said, “Be patient. Give them time. It takes a while to fly from somewhere.” Tywin huffed. He sat up with his arm propping up his elbow whilst resting his chin in his hand. After ten minutes he huffed again. Then the air began to blow, stirring up everything and a huge black dragon landed in a pit with armor and a saddle on its back. It roared. Then a white dragon landed with a big thud and a green dragon next. Aldarra went right up to the black one and rubbed her hand all over him to Tywin's amazement. She greeted all three of them talking, hugging and kissing them.

Aldarra said, “The black one is Drogon, the white one is Viserion and the last but not least the green one is Rhaegal. These are my dragon friends. Aren't they beautiful and extraordinary? Drogon found me reading a book in a field of wildflowers one day and then introduced me to his brothers one at a time. Tyrion rides the white one and Jon rides the green one. I hope you understand that I would never lie to you Tywin.”

Tywin stood up and said, “They are amazing, Aldarra. Why can you attract three dragons when Daenerys Targaryen was the last Targaryen?”

Aldarra was scared to tell him but he needs to know. She said, “I… ummm… I recently found out that I am a bastard of Rhaegar Targaryen and Leona Marbrand. I was conceived one week before my mother married Brixton Blackthorne. It happened at a Lannisport festival. Neither of them knew because I came out looking like my mother with her eyes and hair. Do you not want me anymore now that you know I'm a bastard?” She looked at him for his reaction. He sat down again just staring at her. She turned to her dragons, petted each one, kissing them goodbye and thanking them for coming.” They all three flew off one at a time. Aldarra just stood there looking at Tywin for a long time, She started to cry and walked away to the Red Keep, where Jorah was waiting for her at the entrance, that turned into a run in her dress as she pulled up handfuls to not trip. Jorah followed. He wondered why she was upset.

She ran all the way back to the tower and threw herself down in front of the fire on the floor and laid on her side crying and looking into the fire. The septa came out and gave a crying hungry little boy to her as she slipped her dress off her shoulder enough to pull out her breast. The septa undid the stays at the back and she thanked her. Aldarra sat alone nursing her son on the floor in front of the fire.

Tywin came in and sat on the chair behind her and said, “Who else knows?”

Aldarra said, “Varys, Sansa and Bran Stark. Bran found out, Sansa told me and I told Varys.”

Tywin asked, “Why would you tell Varys?”

Aldarra said, “Because he is one of nine people I can trust completely.” It bothered him that he was not one of them.

Tywin asked, "Who are these people you trust so much?”

Aldarra said, “Sansa Stark, Jon Snow, Tyrion Lannister, Shae, Shireen Baratheon, Ser Davos Seaworth, Ser Jorah Mormont, Varys and Ser Barristan Selmy.” He was not on the list and he knew he would have to redeem himself to her.

Tywin asked, "Do you have three knights sworn to you?”

Aldarra said, “I have six people, three knights, seventy soldiers sworn to me, most of them are at Winterfell. I have taken Shireen Baratheon as my own. Stannis tried to burn her at the stake before he lost the battle with Ramsay Bolton. I and my dragon Drogon burned up two thirds of his army to even the odds and saved Rickon Stark from being shot in the back with an arrow from Ramsay in a sick game of his at the beginning of the battle.”
