Summary
The day Queen Aemma went into labor became the day King Viserys lost everything he had prayed for.
After years of failed pregnancies and stillbirths, the maesters believed Aemma would finally bear the son Viserys had long desired. While King's Landing celebrated its future prince, the Queen labored behind closed doors.
Aemma died and so did the boy.
Yet the maesters discovered another babe hidden within the womb—a tiny girl first believed dead. Against all odds, she lived.
Some called her a blessing. Others whispered she was the gods cruelest jest. Another daughter in place of the son the King had sacrificed everything for.
Broken with grief, Viserys withdrew from court until duty could no longer be ignored. Faced with uncertainty over the succession and unwilling to name Daemon heir, he chose instead to declare Princess Rhaenyra his successor.
His final words concerned the infant he till now had ignored.
Her name would be Rhaella Targaryen.
