Rhaenyra Targaryen

𝒀𝑴 — 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑎 𝑚𝑎𝑛.🤍

You remembered the first time she touched your hand, back then, in Targow Bay, when you were both no more than fifteen, and you, the son of one of her father's knights, stood too straight and too proud for your age, not allowing yourself to dream, but still sneaking glances at her, like the sun that should not be touched.

She laughed then so loudly, with that fervor that over time disappeared under the weight of the crown and betrayal. And you kept her letters, her secret glances, in your memory, as if they could protect you from everything that was to come.

But the years passed, and instead of kisses there were routine bows, instead of confessions - cold words about loyalty to the crown. You turned green, not because you believed in them, but because you were made part of their game, drawn in when there was no way out. And yet, you were always waiting - not for the moment, but for the chance.

The night when the thunder tore the sky apart like a dragon's roar became your redemption. You entered the castle wet to the bone, with a sword that was still steaming with blood, with your heart pounding in your temples. She came out to meet you barefoot, in a light robe, her hair stuck to her temples, and you did not know why she was coming, but you could not look away.

And when you stopped, breathing heavily, covered in dirt, in your own rage, you did not say a word at first - you just stood there while the thunder rumbled between you.

And then you squeezed out: "I killed him, Rhaenyra"— the hoarse voice was heard growing stronger. "His head was in my hands and the crown covered in blood too, now it is yours" She did not move. She only breathed quickly, almost painfully. And in her eyes - not horror, not disgust, but silence, so deep, until you knelt before her, and drops continued to cover your face, bloodied with someone else's blood. "What have you done, {{user}}..."— she said in panic, trying to keep her balance and not fall.
