When prince Rhaegar Targaryen became of age for marriage his father looked for a wife. Preferably one of Valyrian descent. Alyria Lannister Martell was a distant descent of Alicent Hightower and Viserys Targaryen.

Lady Alyria Lannister had grown up away from court and away from the prying eyes. She was said to be of great beauty with her auburn red hair. She had a few strips of white that blended well with her red curls. One purple eye and one green.

When she was called to King's Landing she didn't know what to expect. The day she arrived she was allowed to refresh before meeting the king. That day, it was announced she was to marry prince Rhaegar Targaryen. Rhaegar was handsome she would not deny it but she had no desire to marry him. Beside him, stood his brother prince Daemon Targaryen. It was said prince Daemon was the vivid of prince Daemon Targaryen the Rogue Prince.

Tywin Lannister had sent his daughter to Dorne where he knew she would be protected. After Myra's death, Alyria's mother, he could not bear to look at his daughter who was the vivid image of the woman he once loved. As she became comfortable on the Keep rumors reached her about the love prince Rhaegar held for the lady Lyanna Stark. (Lyanna will be around the same age as them) Alyria paid no mind, even if it was true what could she do? She was just a woman.

The day of their wedding came. Rhaegar acted as if he was happy as did she. They pretended to be happy in front of the Realm. But she could see how he would smile at Lady Lyanna. Their bedding was dull and quick, at least he tried to be gentle with her which it was something she appreciated. Soon after the wedding the princess found herself with child. Her father had congratulated her and told her he was proud of her.

A son was born nine moons after their wedding. The boy was named Aegon Targaryen. A feast was set on his honor. When the babe was two, every lord from the realm had been invited to the royal hunt to celebrate his second name day. By then, the princess was pregnant with her second child. It was the first time in three years that Alyria saw her cousins there. Elia and Oberyn.

Oberyn and Elia sat beside her. "Does he treat you right?" Oberyn asked. "He does. He's very kind to me" she replied. "I'm glad to hear it. I do not wish to dirty my hands with his blood" she jabbed his rib. "Do not say such things" he raised his hands in surrender. "He loves Aegon. He takes him with him everywhere he goes, unless he cannot but he is always with his father" she tells them. "I heard he's in love with the Stark girl" Ashara said.

Alyria nodded. "We spoke of it the day before we married. He is good and kind. He is patient with me so I cannot complain. He does not force me to bed him. I get to be free. He hasn't seen her since before the wedding. I hope he doesn't do anything that can ruin this friendship" how wrong she was. That same year, just a moon after prince Aegon's second name day, princess Rhaenys was born to prince Rhaegar and princess Alyria. And just a year after Rhaenys came Visenya. The prince had three children. The dragon now had three heads.

Rhaegar, despite loving another cared for his wife. He would go as far as to say he loved her as a friend. Their children were all him, no ounce of Martell or Lannister on them. He promised to always protect his family but he should have known that promises are meant to be broken. Prince Daemon had returned to court just weeks prior. He had a deep dislike against Alyria but as he got to spend time with her and his nieces and nephew he saw a kind woman trapped in a dull marriage with his boring brother.

When the tourney of Harrenhal came the princess was pregnant once again with her fourth child. Everyone had come to see the great tourney of the year as lord whent had promised. It had all started good. Daemon for once had decided not to participate instead allowed his brother his own spot to shine. Prince Rhaegar had managed to win against Ser Barristan. The crowd cheered, everyone did, even Daemon did. Rhaegar Targaryen rode past his wife, Princess Alyria to where Lady Lyanna sat with her family and her betrothed Robert Baratheon.

The crowd had gone silent. There was no sound, not even from the outside. Lady Lyanna took the crown and placed it on her head, smiling at the prince. From there, everything went downhill. Rhaegar returned to King's Landing with Lyanna and married her before anyone could intervine. Lyanna wrote letters to her father, brothers and Robert about being in love with Rhaegar and he with her. Stating that they deserved to be happy as well. Rickard knew of course but he didn't care that Lyanna got her happy ending because now, another woman was heartbroken over the thing she and Rhaegar had done.

Princess Alyria didn't return to King's Landing, instead she returned to Dorne with her three children. Prince Maegor Targaryen was born in the blazing lands of Dorne. The king had requested to see the children as Lyanna had given birth just weeks prior. Maegor was only four moons old. Alyria returned to court and everyone's eyes were on her and her children. Maegor was all his father,

Prince Jaehaerys, Lyanna's son was all his mother. There was no ounce of Targaryen in him. Lyanna, had been told by the Maester she could no longer have another child. The court room was quiet. "I have decided to marry my son, prince Daemon to princess Alyria Targaryen" the room was filled with gasps and murmurs about the news. "When Rhaegar takes the crown princess Alyria will be queen consort and their son, prince Aegon will be name heir. Rhaegar, will not be allowed to name Jaehaerys his heir even if he wish it. He will be Lord Stark. Lady Lyanna will remain as lady Lyanna. She will not be recognized as a princess nor princess consort" Rhaegar stood up.

The prince was ready to argue with his father. Before he could talk the king silence him. "Everyone out" Daemon and Alyria followed. "You two stay" he said to them. Alyria gave her children to her sister and her ladies. Aerys looked at Rhaegar. "You made a mistake, Rhaegar. If a rebellion were to happen over what you did, House Targaryen might have fallen. Do you know who our biggest supporters are?" the king asked. "House Lannister, House Martell, House Hightower, House Tyrell" he replied to his own questions. "Four of the most powerful houses. And let's not forget House Velaryon. And do you know what does houses have in common? Alyria Lannister Martell. An active and loved member of of those houses. This!" he stopped. "This nonsense could have cost your lives. Not only yours but those who you love" the king said.

The king began to walk away. "Daemon and Alyria will marry. Your chance has passed. I heard Lady Lyanna will not be able to bear another child. Such a shame. You made your bed, my son. Now, you must sleep in it" he said before walking away. Leaving Rhaegar, Lyanna, Alyria and Daemon in a state of shock. Things were gonna change and there was no way of knowing if it was for the better or worse.
