“why do you look upon me so?”

Seeing the Martells in the Keep again - it was as if Rhaella was living back to a time where things weren’t so terrible . It was back when the Queen had a few genuine friends left , now , no longer . So , when she gazed upon the young viper , the Targaryen knew that lilac hues lingered - for far too long . It was safe to say that Rhaella missed her dearest friend , and now she stood before one of her youngest . She couldn’t help but think back , to a time where she was free , how Oberyn’s brother was a possible suitor for her when she was just a princess . Their two houses were still , somehow , destined to join . 

When Oberyn spoke , Rhaella’s eyes fell to the ground . It wasn’t Queen behaviour to stare , let alone apologise .  ❛❛ You . . . I can not help but think of your mother , Oberyn . That is why I look upon you . ❜❜ They were family now . It wasn’t the first time that a Targaryen married a Martell , but it wasn’t often - is this what the Dornish princess would’ve wanted ? Things have changed since she had last been in the Capital - look , King insulted them to their faces , children of someone they once knew ; personally . The Queen wanted to speak more of his mother , but she had passed . . . perhaps , the mention of her was still painful .  ❛❛ To have seen you so young to the man you have become . . . it is nice to see . I am certain that your mother would be proud - of all of you . ❜❜

Once when the girl finally stood before her , the Queen Mother couldn’t help but form a small smile on her lips . Growing up , she was told some unpleasant stories of Northerners , so seeing a beautiful young lady ( such as Sansa ) was a pleasant surprise . Not only did Rhaella see the girl’s mother in her features , but an old friend , too - Sansa’s grandmother . The dragon was held captive for so many years , it was almost surreal to see her former friend’s descendants . ❛❛ You are forgiven , little one . It is always very nice to see new faces in the Keep . ❜❜

With that being said , the woman rose to her feet and draped her little blanket over her shoulders - to keep warmth . Once before Sansa , the Queen Mother extended a greeting in return , curtsying to the girl .  ❛❛ Let us see the gardens together . I have a few stories to tell . . . some , involving the King . ❜❜ In her youth , Rhaella was able to chat away for hours - she still could , to this day . . . but she had been scolded by husband for being a chatterbox  , that she had remained quiet for years . Hand found the girl’s shoulder , prompting the girl to follow her around . 

Nothing could ever compare to Highgarden , but the Keep’s garden was second best in Westeros . If Rhaella had any say , while being Queen , she would’ve had the gardens expanded to challenge the Tyrells . The Targaryen guided Sansa to a secluded part of the garden , giving a small little tour before standing in front a tall lemon tree .  ❛❛ I planted this one , by hand , when I first became Queen . My son , as you know now as King , was just a little boy . Every so often , we came to water it . It has been years since then , and it had fed us many times . I am most proud of this tree . It grew alongside my son . I am glad it was one of few things that survived . ❜❜ It was so silly of Rhaella to get emotional about a simple lemon tree , but here she was , almost in tears - telling Sansa of a simpler time before anyone was ever tainted .

imagine being abused so heavily by the mad king that you feel like its your duty to be r*ped

[gevivella]

For many years , the Queen’s eyes had been shut . She had closed her eyes to any horrors , enduring what she needed to fulfil her duty . Rhaella Targaryen had , mostly , spared many people of the King’s cruelties ; she endured his wrath personally . Her body was harmed and used as a means to protect other women from ever knowing that pain from the King ever again . As Queen , she did not do much - never given any authority to do anything ; but knowing that another woman wouldn’t be hurt the same way she was - that was her duty , in the end . However , she couldn’t spare those two lives that started it all - the Rebellion . 

Now , she resided in their ancestral home , Dragonstone . Her only living child , Viserys , had been grieving the death of his father and brother . . . and the loss of everything they had ever known . They are on an island , alone , with very few loyal people to help them . As for the Targaryen name , it resided on the last two surviving members . It was always hard for Rhaella , losing children . However , losing her first - born , her only surviving son who had lived the longest - the only one who treated her kindly for years . . . she grieved in silence , away from Viserys so that she would be strong enough to comfort him .   

Another man sat on the throne , and for once , Rhaella was free . Ironic , considering that they were in exile , and their very existence in Westeros could lead to imprisonment . . . but somehow , she was still free ; free from her abuser . It was conflicting , the woman should be relieved and happy that he was dead - the man who had tortured her , but he was still her brother . In the end , Rhaella still loved her brother , but did not love the man he had become . As a result , she grieved for him , too . She mourned the Mad King , and that’s what killed her the most . Despite what he had done to her and the Realm , she still weeped over his death .

The last of the Mad King resided in her stomach , his child growing by the day - alive . A life for a life , right ? Without him , her child will see the light of day - her child will take its first breath and know no pain from him . That , is her revenge for all the pain and suffering her brother had caused . His heir stood before her , dressed in traditional Targaryen attire . Viserys’ hair slicked back , two braids at his ears to compliment handsome little face . She looked at her son , and saw Aerys II . Rhaella did not see the Mad King , but Aerys , her brother as he was in his youth . A charming and handsome young man , a prince by birthright . 

❛❛ I now proclaim Viserys , of House Targaryen , third of his name , as Prince of Dragonstone . ❜❜ The former Queen was at her knees , eye level to Viserys . When she spoke the words , she saw his chin rise with pride . This was the little heaven that the two can share together before they would have to leave again . Her crown , that she had brought along , was held in her hands , just hovering above the little boy’s head .  ❛❛ Future King of the Andals , the Rhoynar and the First men , protector of the Seven Kingdoms . ❜❜ Tears formed into her eyes , she was not proud in this moment ; she was weeping - for the sole fact that this will never be the life they can ever live again . Weeping for the fact that they will never be safe in the world anymore . This is was solidified that fact . Another man ruled , and she was crowning son as next in line to the throne . 

Carefully , the crown was set on Viserys’ head . He bared her crown , the first one he has ever worn , and it was hers . Seeing him adorn the Targaryen coloured crown reminded her of Rhaegar . Without realising , tears fell down the pregnant woman’s cheeks . Her little dragon had seen enough , all she ever wanted to do was keep him safe . . . and she couldn’t even guarantee that . He pulled Viserys to her body , embracing the prince tightly . She was shaking , unfortunately , his innocence almost pained her . Rhaella pulled away enough to press a kiss to his forehead , and sent him off to sit on Dragonstone’s throne .
