Note from the Author: The earlier chapters may contain some misspellings as they were written over a year ago. I plan to revise and update them soon-thank you for your patience!
Princess Alyssa Velaryon, the firstborn child and only daughter of Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, has been promised to the King's eldest son, Prince Aegon, since she was just eleven years old. After five years of quiet life with her family on Dragonstone following the infamous incident on Driftmark, Alyssa is summoned back to King's Landing by her grandsire, King Viserys, and his wife, Queen Alicent.
There, she reunites with her betrothed for the first time since they were children. But the Prince she meets is far from the boy she remembers. Even if she remembers a good childhood with him, she finds it hard to imagen a good furture in marriage with him. Aegon is no stranger to strong wine and the seedier pleasures of the city's brothels, his reputation as a debauched and reckless heir known far and wide. And yet, Alyssa is not quite familiar with them, due to her mother and stepfathers efforts to shield her from such unpleasentries.
Can Alyssa, a kind-hearted young girl, find a way to tame his wild spirit? Or is their marriage destined to collapse under the weight of their differences, political scheming, and the stormy Targaryen legacy?
As alliances shift and enemies plot, this couple will be forced to navigate a tangled web of power, duty, and desire-where love and loyalty often come second to ambition.
Trigger Warnings: This story contains themes of violence, underage marriage, mature content, explicit language, incest (classic Targaryens), and, unfortunately, Otto Hightower. If any of these topics are distressing, you shouldn't read this story.
Princess Daena and Prince Aemond are childhood best friends turned enemies when tragedy strikes them one night, separating them for what seems like forever. But will her sudden reappearance in King's Landing 6 years later reignite the flames between these two dragons?
