It was a warm radiant day in Pentos. The sun was towering high in the sky and shining brightly down on the entire city of Pentos. But in my opinion it was not a beautiful day. No today was a gut wrenching day because today was the day when my little sister Daenerys would meet her betrothed. A savage born and bred. A Khal of the Dothraki.
It is sickening to me that I will be giving my sister to a man we have never met. It was slavery in my eyes but not too our older brother, Viserys. No in his mind he sees Daenerys as a way to achieve the Iron Throne again. A way to dispose of the sister he despised the most, only because she killed our mother, Rhaella, during birth. But, for me, he always wanted to keep me at his side and make me his Queen of the Seven Kingdoms while he became King, because as he puts it, we need to keep the bloodline pure with our infamous Targaryen incest. But I do not want that and I'll do anything in my power to stop it and hope for real true love.
And this is how our story of how the Targaryen's came into power again and found what they really needed in life.
Like any day you would most probably find me in the library reading books. I always loved reading, it's a great escape for me when the world is just to much or when I really want to escape Viserys and all his attitudes for a time. But today I'm not so lucky to have peace. And I know that as soon as I see Viserys come walking through the doors of the library.
I mark the page I am on and set my book down on the table next to me before standing up slowly in front of my brother. I give him a small smile before greeting him.
"Viserys" I say gently.
"Rhaenyra, my beautiful sister" he greets back with a kiss to the corner of my lips, he steps back from me and I give him an anxious smile.
I never truly liked how are family committed incest with each other. But I do understand that we wanted to keep the bloodlines pure. And I also understand that we have been doing this for centuries, even before the Doom of Valyria. So it only feels right to us that we continue it.
"What brings you to me" I ask looking up at him.
"Well Illyrio gave me this gown for Daenerys. So I was thinking you would join me to wish our sister good luck and to make sure she doesn't ruin this for us" he says to me in a set tone.
"Of course" I say in a soft voice. "I wouldn't want to wake the dragon"
"Good. Very good" he says with a knowing smirk. "Come, I believe she is in the washroom"
Viserys grasps my upper arm and leads me out of Illyrio's library and down the corridor to the washroom. Knowing he was in a hurry I try to keep my pace so I don't trip over my feet and make him angry. I hate it when I make him angry because he likes to punish me and most of my punishments leave their marks. We finally reach the washroom and turn towards the built in bath looking for our younger sister.
"Daenerys!" Viserys shouts eagerly, while releasing my arm.
Slowly Daenerys appears through the curtain that leads to the balcony of the washroom and walks towards Viserys and I.
"Daenerys. There's our bride-to be" Viserys announces in a strange eagerness, most likely because he is going to be getting rid of her.
He walks up to Daenerys, as I follow behind. When we our in front of Daenerys, Viserys holds out the silk gown that has been gifted from Illyrio for Dany. Trying to make her as appealing as possible so we have a better chance in seducing this Khal into our agreement.
"Look, a gift from Illyrio. Touch it. Go on, feel the fabric" he encourages Daenerys, who lightly touches the gown. "Hmm. Isn't he a gracious host?"
"We've been his guests for over a year and he's never asked us for anything" she informs Viserys while looking up at him with a questionable look.
"Illyrio's no fool. He knows I won't forget my friends when I come into my throne" he tells Daenerys. "Here Rhaenyra hold this" he orders me, while I hold on to the silk gown gently so it doesn't wrinkle. "You still slouch" he announces towards Daenerys. "Let them see" he continues while he loosens the ties of her dress and pushing it down to the ground leaving her naked in front of us.
I look away from Daenerys' bare body knowing the same feeling that she is going through. Viserys loves to undress me some nights. He's touched me but he has never tried to bed me. He always says that it's not the right time and he wants take me when the time is right. And every day I pray to the old and new Gods that it will never be the right time. I never want him to take me.
"You have a woman's body now. You need to start using and showing it like Rhaenyra does" he states to Daenerys before biting his thumb while looking down at her naked body, he finally touches her body, like he does with me, resting his hand on the side of her breast while his thumb just barely lays next to her nipple. "I need you to be perfect today. Can you do that for me?" He asks in a demanding tone but with Daenerys' uncomfortableness she doesn't answer right away. "You don't want to wake the dragon, do you?" He asks a bit harshly this time wanting to get his point across that if she doesn't do a good job she will be punished by him.
"No" Daenerys finally replies looking downward.
Thankfully Viserys accepts her answer and let's her go by walking towards the doorway of the washroom. But of course Viserys always has to have one final say before leaving.
"When they write the history of my reign, sweet sisters, they will say it began today" he proclaims with a smirk on his face before finally leaving the washroom and leaving Daenerys and I alone together.
"Try to ignore him, hāedar" I tell her with a gentle smile.
"I will try, mandia. Thank you"
"You do not need to thank me it is my job to protect you Dany and I will continue to do so. Now get washed up, I will return when you are done and do a couple of braids for you" I inform her with another gentle smile as she nods her head. "Avy jorrāelan, Dany"
"Avy jorrāelan, Rhae" she says with a little smile on her face before I leave the washroom as well.
