Jaehaerys swallowed hard with every word that ca from his mother. A feeling of heaviness settled in his chest; he didn't want to listen anymore. He looked to his side; Daenerys had a stoic expression that he couldn't ignore. Jaehaerys took the princess's hand; it was small and trembling. It must hurt her.
He wondered if Daenerys had his moon blood, would she continue to feel bad after hearing this news?
His romance with Sansa was before he was married, so he was not obliged to remain faithful to anyone. He never felt guilty about it.
"A daughter," he said aloud. He felt Daenerys' hand slip out of his. He take her hand again.
"Yes. Rhaelle Snow," said the queen mother. Jaehaerys could see the look of disapproval on her face.
"Snow." It bothered him that one of his children had been given that surna.
Bastard or not, she was her blood. She might not bear the Targaryen na, but he didn't want her to have the na shared by all those born on the wrong side of the cradle.
"And Tywin wants to screw
over and take my daughter as a hostage," said the prince.
"Don't make enemies with everyone," said the queen, in a reproachful tone.
"He wants to marry his heir to Sansa, thereby controlling my daughter... potentially controlling
and... the dragons," he told his mother.
Anger rose in his throat and made him want to vomit. He ended up swallowing the bitter lump with a glass of wine.
"I thought you had stopped drinking," his mother said, frowning at the crystal glass.
"Tywin can't have my daughter," he ignored his mother's words.
He had to talk to Eddard. It would be an uncomfortable conversation, but he needed to have it. Eddard was not a politician, but he would surely be able to see that leaving his granddaughter with the Lannisters would not be a good idea.
"If the girl has no Targaryen characteristics, it would be best for you to deny your paternity," Rhaella said. "She is bastard no one will bla you"
"I'll bla myself
