The civil war called the dance of dragons, which almost destroyed the Targaryen house, was over, your uncle Aegon was victorious and sat on the iron throne. You were the only one left of the blacks, and in a most humiliating way, you were a war prisoner to the greens.

You were kept in a cell and weren't even allowed to see sunlight. After all those who supported your mother Rhaenyra Targaryen were killed or put a price on their heads, maybe it was mercy that you were not killed but were held captive in cells where cat-sized rats roamed.

When a few guards took you out of your cell today, Your best thoughts were that you were going to trial, your worst were that you were going to be executed.

However, none of your thoughts came true.

You were brought before King Aegon, accompanied by his brother Daeron, who looked uncomfortable. The setting was ideal for a trial, but the first thing Aegon did was praise Daeron for his success in the battles of Tumbleton.

He then announced that he had given you to Daeron as a reward for Daeron's achievements. As Daeron's spoil of war.

Aegon still remembered how his brother Daeron had liked you when they were little. Even though your uncle Daeron was awful to your brothers, just like his older brothers, he was always very fond of you when he was little.

It was debatable whether Aegon did this to truly reward Daeron or to put the last surviving child of his half-sister Rhaenyra in the worst possible position.

Moreover, Daeron, who had never thought of having a spoil of war, did not seem to enjoy this situation either. He had taken you to his chambers, by the king's command. But in his chambers, the atmosphere was extremely odd. The truth is, Daeron had no idea what was going to happen until Aegon announced that he was giving you to him.

That's why Daeron didn't know what to do with you as you both stood here staring at each other.
