POV Daemyra Hightower

The Snakes Of King's Landing

Princess Rhaenyra gave me her hand and I grabbed it softly. She started walking with me and I was fascinated by the Red Keep, the decoration with the Targaryen sigil, all the weapons on the walls, and the colors, everything was perfect, it was worthy of the Royal Targaryens.

When Rhaenyra stopped walking she opened a door, that took me to her chambers which weren't empty, for my surprise two boys and a man in armor were there.

I guess these two boys were Rhaenyra's sons, the smaller one looked so nice, and the taller one just wanted to be with his brother, he just wanted to protect him.

The two boys started talking but I wasn't paying attention to their words, I was paying attention to what they were looking at, cause some smoke was coming out of there "Not every day an egg leaves the Dragonpit, Princess. I thought it best thing was to escort the lads" I finally heard the voice of the man I didn't know "Dragons?" I asked confused.

I loved reading about dragons, my favorite one was Meraxes, Queen Rhaenys Targaryen's dragon, I loved them but I never thought they were real, I never saw them and I only believed in what my eyes saw, but seeing that dragon egg gave my life a new meaning.

"Who is she?" the taller boy asked "I'm Daemyra, Do dragons exist? I've never seen one, I'd like to see them up close, from the books they look incredible" I tried to show my enthusiasm towards dragons.

The taller boy was looking at me, and I was feeling a certain judgment, like I was less intelligent than him, just because I didn't know dragons existed, I'm just not from here and I don't believe everything I read, I wasn't less intelligent than him because of that, he was just judging a book by his cover.

"We have two," the smaller boy told me when he saw that I was starting to get uncomfortable with the judgment "Can I see them?" I asked with a big smile on my face "Mom, can we take Daemyra to the Dragonpit?" he asked Rhaenyra and grabbed her waist "Only after she sees the Queen" She kissed her son on his head.
