   Summary

   -If I knew it all then, would I do it again?-

   “You will be trapped by the obligations of love and duty, unable to escape the web of expectations others have woven around you," the witch said....

   Daenera Velaryon goes back to King's Landing to strengthen her mothers position and remind the Greens and nobels that Rhaenyra is the heir to the throne. She has a very specific goal of being a thorn in the Green's side and she doesn't mind playing the game.

   What she did not expect was the way Aemond looks at her, or the way he seems to revel in her misery. He wants to destroy her he tells her.

   A game of cat and mouse ensues, and with each move made, the stakes gets higher. Will it all come crashing down around them as the dragons take to the skies, or will fate find a way?

   For what is love, if not the death of duty? And what is duty if not the destruction of love?

   Season 1 of the story: ch. 1-99
