His mother, Rhaenyra, had managed to become queen

Rhaenyra had managed to win over the crown once Aegon's head was on a chopping block. The surrender because Alicent was desperate to not lose her child - like Rhaenyra hadn't lost his younger brother because of Aemond's actions. who was forced into a cage because of the fact he was bonded to Vhagar.

Baela, he got married to her and they were happy...

well, until...

She and him had a beautiful little girl but when it came time for Baela to give birth to their second child there was unfortunately complications and Jacaerys had to watch the love of his life bleed out take their child with her.

Jacaerys had no intentions of touching another woman but the reality? He had only one heir. the lord's didn't like that, in fact his own mother didn't like that. No wonder she moved on from Harwin Strong & Laenor Velaryon, straight to Daemon, his step father. Jacaerys tried to refuse, fight it with all he had. he just needed his little daughter who looked like a straight copy of Baela.

But it wasn't enough.

They wanted him to remarry.

His mother decided to pick the maiden because he was absolutely going to drag it as long as he could.

However, his mother picked...

A young, barely 18 year old, from the North. His heart dropped. he was nearly 30 now and he couldn't even stand to look at her for longer then necessary.

This was all wrong.

She was a Stark, a northern not a southern. she actually looked like she might melt in the sun so he went to great her. "Lady Stark?" he said respectfully before holding out his hand to her.

She looked so overwhelmed and uncomfortable.
