"Love should come naturally, but no matter how hard I try, I can't love my own son, who came from my womb. I must be a horrible mother, but so be it, no one is perfect and I definitely am not." Thoughts of Daenerys Targaryen about her eldest son.

-----------

Daenerys entered the dining hall and saw almost all the children, daughters, nephew and niece who were present.

Her eyes almost immediately fell upon her son and daughter. Aegon and Naerys. Both were absolutely beautiful children. Ten and nine years old respectively. Aegon had her hair and eyes, while Naerys possessed her father's characteristics, especially Aenar's white-gold hair.

However, Daenerys calmly looked at Naerys, hiding the concern in her eyes. Unlike her brothers and sisters, Naerys seemed small and delicate, almost like an ordinary person, such a thing would not be a problem in a normal family, but with House Targaryen, this was absolutely abnormal.

Especially when everyone related to the royal family was enormous, even at such a tender age Aenar's sons and daughters were tall in stature. Little Naerys was absolutely abnormal among her brothers and sisters.

As if feeling her mother's gaze, the small and delicate Naerys smiled as elegantly as a queen and as warmly as the sun itself. That smile made Daenerys's worried look dissipate as if it had never existed.

Her daughter has that kind of power, being able to end any concern or even any conflict between Aenar's sons and daughter. She was like a true angel in the mortal world.

When Daenerys sat in one of the four main seats at the table, she heard the door open and saw her sister and niece enter, Visenya and Rhaenys.

Both women and fellow queens were exquisitely dressed, obviously with intentions of seducing their husband to warm her lonely bed during the months Aenar was away.

"You both look beautiful, sister, niece." Daenerys greeted both with a sweet and elegant smile, as a mother of two children, she already exuded a mature and elegant aura with the dignity of a great queen.

"Likewise, sister." Visenya said with a sweet and gentle tone, she didn't seem at all like the blood-covered valkyrie on the battlefield. She wore a purple dress with gold details around her modest breasts.

"You look stunning, aunt." Rhaenys said, agreeing with Visenya's words. Daenerys wore a blood-red dress, simple and unadorned, but elegant and discreetly luxurious. The long sleeves branched like delicate branches around her arm, and at the end, gently wrapped around the ring finger of each hand.

The three queens sat side by side as they conversed pleasantly. If someone saw them, they would certainly be surprised, as the queens in public were political rivals. Each leading one of Aenar's Court Factions.

In public, each would needle and conspire against the other, which was widely known by the subjects and vassals at court. But how could they know that such a thing was merely for the amusement of the three queens.

Yes, the entire political scenario of the Empire was merely for the amusement of the queens, who enjoyed controlling the nobles, politicians, and vassals. Of course, Aenar asked for such a thing to happen, this not only helped to balance the powers in court but also controlled the influence of the queens themselves, leaving them with equal status in everyone's eyes.

"How is Naerys?" Rhaenys asked with a slightly worried tone. Naerys's appearance was concerning in her and Visenya's eyes. After all, with all of Aenar's sons and daughters being large, only the girl was small.

Visenya also looked at Daenerys with concern, her niece had always been a worry among them. Since Aenar hadn't said anything, they assumed something serious had happened to the girl.

"Still no indication of anything bad, she seems perfectly fine. Although not as strong as her brothers and sisters, it can be said that she has the strength of a normal adult." Daenerys whispered to both women who nodded their heads.

If it were before and a woman had that strength, she would be very famous, but at this moment, in their eyes, who could tear down walls with their bare hands, such power was nothing. So, Naerys's situation was concerning.

"I just hope it's nothing serious." Rhaenys said with a sigh. She didn't want sweet and delicate Naerys to suffer any illness. Rhaenys's thoughts were the same as Daenerys's and Visenya's. No one wanted to see such a situation happen.

"How are your sons and daughters?" Feeling the atmosphere too heavy for a family dinner, Daenerys changed the subject, looking at Aenar's sons and daughters.

"Jaehaerys spends all day reading in the library." Visenya said with a helpless tone. "He seems to feel more comfortable with books than with his own sister."

Everyone understood the implication in Visenya's words, Daenerys looked at her sister and spoke with a curious and sarcastic tone. "Aenar allowed you to decide the marriage of his precious daughter?"

"Of course not, but it doesn't hurt to try, but it seems my wishes won't come true." Visenya shrugged and spoke casually. She didn't really care if Alysanne married Jaehaerys, but simply liked how both could be the reincarnation of the Good Queen and the Old King.

However, they really weren't. Both had completely opposite personalities, so opposite that they were like fire and water. If they weren't brother and sister, they would hardly speak to each other without mocking each other.

Rhaenys laughed at her sister's words and spoke with pride and tenderness. "Aemon and Daenys are inseparable, they will probably marry in the future."

Daenerys and Visenya looked at both dark-skinned, silver-haired children, they seemed comfortable near each other, even at this moment, both whispered to each other while laughing at each other's words.

"It's really quite likely they'll marry." Visenya agreed with Rhaenys's words. Aemon and Daenys really looked like a small couple. Perhaps in the eyes of other people it was just a healthy coexistence between brother and sister, but in House Targaryen such a thing was informative.

"They only talk about dragons and nothing else." Rhaenys said with a smile, as someone who loved dragons, she could understand her son and daughter's desire.

"Is Aegon doing well?" Visenya asked, looking at the tall, handsome, and princely boy. He seemed like the perfect prince and heir in the eyes of many people. In the eyes of these people, Aenar was just waiting for Aegon to come of age to make him heir, but the Three Queens knew that Aenar would never change his mind.

Alysanne always was and would be Aenar's Legitimate Heir, regardless of what Aegon did, such a thing would never change.

The reason for Visenya's question was simple, to ask if Aegon had already accepted his fate or made small moves. Neither Visenya nor Rhaenys monitored Aegon out of respect for Daenerys.

Daenerys remained silent for a moment, her gaze was calm. She picked up the goblet containing water and drank a little, before answering with an emotionless tone. "He is making small moves, always showing the best image of himself to the maids, servants, and nobles he sees during Parliament sessions."

A sigh escaped Visenya's lips. This was evolving into a fight for the Throne, something she and no one wanted to see.

"I wanted to talk to him, but Aenar said he would talk to Aegon alone, a sincere conversation between father and son." Placing the goblet containing water on the table, Daenerys said with a calm tone, her eyes contained no trace of love or affection when she mentioned Aegon, as if she were talking to a complete stranger.

"Who put these ideas into Aegon's mind? Did he think of being Emperor on his own?" Rhaenys asked, her tone slightly cold and murderous. Princes and princesses usually couldn't leave the Red Keep, only when they went to visit their respective dragons.

So, it was quite unlikely that Aegon would come into contact with ambitious nobles, even being monitored by the Emperor's Daughters, the espionage and assassination organization that Daenerys commanded.

"No one made up his mind, it's his nature to be a traitor." Daenerys said with a sarcastic and disdainful tone towards her eldest son. "But, perhaps it was because everyone treats him with respect, especially the nobles."

Visenya and Rhaenys looked at Daenerys, both noticed the faint murderous intent in her words. This didn't bother them, but the target of Daenerys's murderous intent made both queens look at their companion with a solemn gaze.

Daenerys's murderous intent targeted ten-year-old Aegon himself!

"He's a child, Dany. Your son, your flesh and blood." Visenya emphasized her words in a slightly louder tone, but no one but them really heard.

"And?" Daenerys calmly looked at Visenya as if she had said the most obvious thing in the world. "He is and will be a traitor, instead of wasting time loving such a person, it's better to treat him as a stranger."

"Just like you wanted to do with the supposed Aegon VI." She added, looking at Rhaenys with a calm tone, as if talking about the murder of her own son wasn't really a big deal.

"This is different, Daenerys, he's a child, there's time for him to change." Rhaenys said with a worried tone. She really feared that Daenerys would kill Aegon while he was sleeping. With her Time Power, no one would even notice anything.

"I know you love him, but he is destined to betray our family, don't get too attached to him or you will suffer when he is discarded." Daenerys did not mention Aegon's murder again, but warned her fellow queens.

Daenerys believed Aegon's words and only gave the child the affection he wanted, but never truly loved him. Not when he was sure to be sacrificed as a weapon against the Gods of Chaos.

There was no point in wasting time with a traitorous and dead person, even if such a person was really her son. Naerys was different, she truly loved the child, for the girl would never betray House Targaryen.

Visenya and Rhaenys looked at each other, but did not continue the subject, but promised they would talk to Aenar in the future. They didn't want to wake up and find that Aegon had suddenly died.
