42 AC, KINGSLANDING

"Well husband, do you have something to tell me?"

Jaehaera didn't even bother to say hello as she entered her husbands chambers, she was livid about the rumors that had been flying around the court for a while now.

Maegor looked at Jaehaera in front of him. She was no longer the child he married, now she had grown to become a beautiful woman. Maegor did not like the way she was dressed but he would never say that, her beauty made up for it.

"If this is about our marriage, I believe there is nothing else to discuss. I have done my duties and given you your crown. Beyond that I shall leave you to your devices."

He went back to his work, ignoring her as if she were not there.

"Are the rumors true?" Jaehaera asked, looking beyond livid.

Maegor stopped in his tracks, now interested by her words and not happy about them.

"Rumors? What rumours?" he said with a frown.

He had made his fair share of mistresses and was not happy to be confronted about it.

"You and my best friend, Lady Kathryn.. is it true?" She had tears in her eyes and trembled, she seemed like a mourning woman.

But it was not her husband she was mourning.

Maegors frown deepened when he realized his mistake. He would not deny it, the evidence was too strong.

"Yes." he said in a whisper trying to keep what little dignity he had left.

"But I have been good to you. Our marriage has been strong and our children beautiful. You would be a fool to throw it all away." he said while trying to avoid those tears, they made him feel uncomfortable.

"WHY?" She just cried, enraged at this situation. If it was someone else, she might've been understanding, but her best friend?

His face darkened at her shouting.

"Do not shout." he said in a commanding tone.

"And the answer to your question is simple; you are not enough for me, so I seek pleasure elsewhere. She is like a good cup of dornish wine, once in a while I need something other than water." he said in a plain tone.

Jaehaera was too mad to even respond to that, first he stole her childhood, her Innocence, her virtue, and now her best friend?

If she couldve, she would've killed Maegor right then and there.

But then she looked over to that beautifully carved cradle across the room. She couldn't fathom harming her daughters vision of a perfect family.

Her sweet Visenya.

Silence filled the air for a few moments, until she finally spoke again.

"Then what is the point of our marriage?"

Maegor had no words to say, there was no point to their marriage, it was only meant to please the seven gods and the realm, he thought in that moment.

"This changes nothing." he said finally.

"I am still king and you are my queen, the rest is not important."

Suddenly, Jaehaera burst with rage, something she had not felt before. She grabbed what was in front of her: a glass of dornish wine, which she threw it against the wall in front of Maegor. There was a splash of red all over the wall and her cheeks were now wet with tears, but those tears turned to anger.

Her voice rose from a whisper to a shout in the blink of an eye.

"I AM NOT ENOUGH FOR YOU?" she screamed at him.

Maegor responded, stunned at Jaehaeras outburst.

"Enough of this nonsense. Your beauty should be enough to keep me interested. Do not waste my time with your crying."

A pause followed as he saw that her tears were starting to run dry. They did not impress him at all.

"And tell Kathryn to make herself available when I ask her." he said sternly before turning back to his work without awaiting her response.

Maegor was never one to care about how others felt.

"Am I even someone to yo-" Jaehaera tried to respond, but was quickly interrupted.

"You are nothing but my breeding stock to create heirs. If I want to have an affair with some lady of the Riverlands, I will. And if I have an affair with any other woman, I will. You are not important and have no say in anything, that is the truth. Now get out of this room and go cry elsewhere."

"What..?" Jaehaera was stunned, but also deeply upset. She never loved him at the start, but now that she grew to love him, it felt like salt in an open wound that will never heal.

"What don't you understand. I will not tolerate you making a scene over this. You are not my equal."

"Now go before I do something to make you even more upset."

Maegor's voice was stern and commanding, he was not asking he was ordering her. He still cared about Jaehaera to an extent but he was not interested in her anymore.

"I don't what happened with us, but whatever Dorian might have said to you, it's not true." She responded with her last sanity, before leaving the room.

"Don't you even dare to drag him into this. He wants nothing but good for me." Maegor countered.

"Well.. did you have a good time with Kathryn? Look me in the eyes and tell me that you enjoyed that little slut, Maegor." She spit Kathryn's name like a slur.

"Yes, I have enjoyed her company if you must know." he said clearly trying to annoy her or even make her feel jealous.

"She has done better in satisfying my needs than any other woman."

"Well, what about me?" Jaehaera counterattacked.

"Not this again." he said as his face darkened at her question.

"I have been nice to you and now you cry and complain like a child because I enjoy another woman's body? Pathetic." he said coldly.

So, Jaehaera began to weep, it was too much for her to handle right now.

Her weeping just fueled Maegors rage even more.

Within seconds, Maegor rose from his chair, his expression was now not cold, rather it was completely mad.

He grabbed Jaehaera by her wrists and lifted her from her feet. He held her against the wall with no force and his face was just a few inches from hers.

"Cry some more, you little child. See if I care." he said while staring at her eyes. This was the worst and darkest of his face.

Suddenly, the thought she had been holding back for the last  years of their marriage came bubbled out of her mouth like a geyser.

"I know I'm not the wife you would've wished for yourself and for that I am sorry."

Maegor's face went from anger to disbelief.

"Are you apologizing to me?" he said with a little bit of irony in his tone. He was quite surprised, his wife apologizing to him was really something new for him.

He looked at her while still holding her, her apology and crying were almost making him feel bad.

"You truly are a weakling." he scoffed.

"However, you are a bit right. I would prefer to have married a higher born lady, someone with a stronger blood."

"I'm so sorry, I wish I could turn back time and free you from myself." Jaehaera cried again.

In that moment, Maegor felt sorry for Jaehaera. For a little while, he saw her as a person and not just a tool for making children. She was a weak, scared little girl who had been dragged into an arranged marriage with a cruel man.

Nevertheless, Jaehaera ran out, crying.

She was quickly spotted by Kathryn's younger sister, Selyse Tully.

Selyse and Jaehaera had been good friends ever since Jaehaera came to Dragonstone.

"Jaehaera?" Selyse asked, confused and worried about Jaehaeras tears.

"You would never believed what happened." Jaehaera cried, still trying to keep her composure.

"My sweet sister, what happened?" Selyse inquired.

"Kathryn and Maegor.. do you remember when we went on that trip to the city?"

"Don't say it.." Selyse felt the rage slowly consume her.

"They spend the night together."

In that moment, something just snapped inside of Selyse. Suddenly, all the love she had ever felt for Kathryn disappeared. How dare she?

That whore.

"I can not believe it. Kathryn and Maegor really.. oh gods. I can not believe it."

"Neither can I, good sister." Jaehaera just clung to her, crying.

"Shh sweet girl. I will take vengeance when they least expect it. Trust me my love, I swear this to you." Selyse kissed her forehead, trying to comfort her.

"By the gods, I will take her down." Jaehaera eventually spit out, her tears turned into rage.

"Sooner or later, she will sit down at her own banquet of consequences."

Jaehaera still held her, as they spend the night together.

(A/N: Selyse is a real one.)
