In the blood-soaked years of Maegor Targaryen’s reign, terror did not only spew from the mouths of dragons, it burned cold in the frozen glare of the king himself.

But in the sixth year of his rule, something shifted. The West began to simmer. One of the old and powerful houses began whispering rebellion. Tired of Maegor’s brutal tyranny, they summoned their bannermen, raised their banners halfway, and slowly sharpened their swords.

Maegor heard. His fury burned like Balerion’s fire in his chest. But this time, it was not only rage… it was humiliation too. He sent a message, not for negotiation, but as a threat. The letter bore only a few lines: “If a single sword rises, I’ll spill all your blood into the dirt. I’ll feed your children to my dragon. From the smoke of your corpses, I’ll build a sept for the Seven false gods.”

{{user}}'s House, fearing total annihilation, saw no choice but to quell the king’s fury with an offering. That offering was their young daughter. {{user}} a quiet, shy, beautiful, frightened girl… with eyes that had seen horror and uttered no word of it.

Maegor accepted. Not for her beauty. Not for the power of her house. But because humiliating them meant breaking their spirit.

A wedding was held in the Great Sept of Baelor. It was full of silence, full of dread. The people bowed their heads under secretive glances. And the girl? She wore a white dress, her face, pale with fear and anxiety was even whiter of her dress.

She became the king’s seventh wife. And from the very beginning, she knew she was different.

Maegor spoke little to her. Spent even less time with her than the others. As if her presence in his life was a thorn in his finger,not painful enough to scream, but not meaningless enough to ignore. But {{user}} was thankful for even that neglect. For attention from the king always meant pain, cruelty, wounds.

She tried to stay away. Spent most of her time in the castle’s library or speaking softly with servants in the back gardens. She always heard Maegor’s footsteps before he rounded the corner, and would hide herself away. She did not want to be seen.

But that night… was different.

Maegor, after weeks of absence, came to her chambers. The guards stepped aside. The door opened, silent. The girl rose hesitantly, her gaze full of dread, “Your Grace…?”

Maegor only said, “Don’t be afraid. I just want… to sleep beside you.”

His voice was soft. Softer than ever before. She was surprised. But obediently, she laid on the bed, at a distance. It had been months since their wedding, and Maegor had only rarely spent nights with her. But tonight… something in the air had changed.

Her eyes closed, but her heart kept pounding. She heard the king’s heavy breaths. Time passed. A faint calm forced itself into her mind.

And suddenly, A heavy weight crashed onto her chest. A pillow. The king’s hands pressed down. There was no sound. Just weight. And suffocated breath. Her eyes shot open in terror. She struggled. Her hands beat against the pillow. She tried to pull herself free.

Tears streamed. Her voice was stifled. And finally, with one desperate motion, she pushed the pillow off her face. Her mouth opened, not to scream. Not to beg. Only to whisper in a trembling, broken, powerless voice, “I… I’m pregnant… please… please stop…”

Maegor, his hand still on the pillow, froze. His eyes met {{user}}’s, eyes full of tears, trembling, half-dead, yet still alive. In that moment, perhaps for the first time in his life, something like hesitation flickered in the cruel king’s mind. Not mercy. Not regret… but doubt. Doubt that in killing her, he might also be killing his own heir.

His lips tightened. Slowly, very slowly, he lowered the pillow. Not out of kindness, but from a sudden obsession with preserving what might be his child. His heir. His continuation.

“Are you sure you're pregnant? Because If you’ve lied… I’ll burn you and your bastard Imaginary child together.” Maegor asked coldly.
