There couldn’t have been a more perfect day for a hunt.
Rhaenyra would have agreed with that sentiment if she saw the point in hunting.
The royal court departed for a grand hunt in Kingswood. Viserys couldn’t be happier to leave the politics behind. As for Rhaenyra and Alicent, the tension could be cut with a sword. Their gazes fell onto each other every so often as Daemon sat with them in the closed wheelhouse they were using to travel to their destination. The days leading up to this hunt felt like an eternity. Rhaenyra would occasionally catch her uncle glancing in her direction with a knowing grin. He never said more than what was necessary. It felt like Rhaenyra was slowly being stabbed in the back and couldn’t do anything to free herself from the agonizing blade.
Alicent had told her about her morning sicknesses. The cravings and routines she had gone through at the beginning of her pregnancy with Aegon were being repeated. They had no way of confirming if the Queen was with her second child. But, their gut feeling told them otherwise. Alicent was a shell of her former self as she kept her sickness hidden from everyone to the best of her ability. Viserys was oblivious; blinded by the joy of his brother’s return and Aegon nearing the end of his infancy. In due time, everyone was certain that the young Prince would be named heir to the Iron Throne, in keeping with Westerosi tradition.
Rhaenyra felt like she was trapped in a cave and the walls were closing in around her. She wanted to reach out to Alicent so that they could comfort each other. But, doing anything of that nature would cement Daemon’s suspicions as fact.
What was going to stop him from revealing to everyone about their affair?
The key to winning this game of thrones was in his hands.
Upon their arrival at the royal encampment, they were greeted with thunderous cheers, all hailing Aegon as the ‘Second of His Name’, making it clear to Rhaenyra that some of the realm’s nobility consider Aegon, not her, as Viserys’s heir. All of them were unwise to the infant’s true heritage. Rhaenyra didn’t know what to think. When they reached the pavilion, she mimicked her father and turned to the alcohol for support.
She watched as the nobles prepared for the hunt. They readied their weapons and had their servants tend to the horses. Rhaenyra downed two full glasses. Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted Alicent speaking with the noble ladies. When their eyes met, Alicent flashed the Princess a tender smile. Rhaenyra wanted to return the affection. However, she instinctively began to scan the camp for Daemon, fearing that he would be watching her and ready to attack like a snake. She turned away from Alicent and gulped down another beverage. The taste sent a wave of numbness through her skull.
‘’You should ride out with me today,’’ her father spoke, startling her. She turned and saw him approaching her with his own drink in hand. ‘’Join in the chase.’’
‘’I’d rather not,’’ Rhaenyra replied.
‘’How would you like to participate?’’
‘’Not sure why I must.’’
Viserys sighed. ‘’Because you are the Princess and you have duties.’’
‘’As I am ceaselessly reminded.’’ Rhaenyra groaned, setting her empty glass down on the table. ‘’You would be better off riding with Daemon. It would be quite the spectacle for you both to claim a worthy hunt to celebrate his return.’’
Right on cue, she spotted Daemon in the distance. The Prince was keeping to himself, rolling his eyes at the other nobles who attempted to strike up a conversation. Rhaenyra almost felt empathy for him. She would react the same way. If he did not know about Rhaenyra’s secret, the Princess could have seen them becoming close like before.
‘’No one is here for me.’’ She said quietly.
Viserys looked over at his wife. Alicent was bouncing Aegon on her lap before passing the young boy over to the other ladies. They each spent a splendid amount of time cooing over him. Behind them, guards and knights bowed their heads as if the infant would acknowledge them. Already, they were treating him with more respect than they had ever shown to Rhaenyra.
The King put his drink down and faced Rhaenyra. ‘’You were named to protect the realm. You are the realm’s delight. You are wise, albeit too stubborn for your own good sometimes. Your dragon riding skills are almost unmatched…’’
‘’What is the power of a dragon rider next to the power of bureaucracy?’’
Viserys paused. The silence made Rhaenyra turn. She saw sadness flash across his face. However, there was also a twinkle of pride in his eyes. ‘’Many in our family have been dragon riders. Very few among us have been dreamers. Dreams can guide us when we are thought to be lost and beyond help. My dream was to have a son who would take the crown when I pass on. But, I named you heir. I have done everything in my power to keep that ship steady…’’
‘’So, now I’m a prize to proffer around the great houses?’’
‘’You are of age, Rhaenyra.’’ He barked. ‘’Even I do not exist above tradition and duty. You are expected to find a husband and sire heirs of your own…’’
Rhaenyra scoffed. ‘’There are several issues with that.’’
‘’Which is why…I have a proposition for you.’’ He seemed hesitant. But, he had Rhaenyra’s full attention and felt compelled to continue. ‘’You will marry, one day. Whether that be to a Lannister or one of the other noble houses, it will happen. When it does, arrangements will be made for you to…find ways to have children.’’
Rhaenyra’s brow creased. ‘’I don’t understand.’’
She did understand. But, she wanted to hear it from Viserys. She wanted there to be no misunderstanding between them. Was her father about to say what she was thinking?
‘’Obviously, we want the Targaryen blood to be strong.’’ He said pompously. As his smile widened, Rhaenyra detected the smell of alcohol on his breath. ‘’So, we cannot have your other provide offspring. But, if you were to bed willing whores in secret, and pass them off as your own…would that appease your rebellious nature?’’
Rhaenyra’s heart froze. Sweat rained down her back, causing her dress to cling uncomfortably against her skin. She never would have imagined that her father would make such an iniquitous suggestion. It also seemed too good to be true. Perhaps, it was. He was on the verge of drunkenness. Yet, the conviction in his tone was undeniable.
‘’I…’’ Rhaenyra stammered. ‘’That…we…’’
‘’Rhaenyra…’’
Alicent’s voice made Rhaenyra and Viserys jump. Neither of them had noticed her walking over towards them. Looking over the Queen’s shoulder, they could see that they had left Aegon in the care of the maids that had travelled with them.
She locked eyes with Rhaenyra. ‘’Would you like to accompany me? I’m sure that the King will need time alone to prepare for the hunt.’’
‘’As you wish, your Grace.’’ Rhaenyra blurted. She couldn’t leave quickly enough.
Viserys reached out to grab her arm before she left. He leaned in closely and whispered into her ear. ‘’I am making this offer for your sake, Rhaenyra. I am doing this because I trust you.’’
Rhaenyra kept her lips sealed, fighting back tears as she tugged herself free from her father’s grasp and retreated into the woods with Alicent.

Rhaenyra thought that her mind would feel more at ease after fleeing the encampment. However, she felt herself sinking deeper into the abyss as her father’s words echoed in her mind. When they were far enough away from prying eyes, Alicent took her hand, hoping that it would comfort her. Rhaenyra remained silent as they walked through the woods. The sun shone through the entwined branches. Shadows danced beautifully as leaves fell on them like rain.
‘’How are you feeling?’’ Alicent asked.
‘’Sick to my stomach.’’ Rhaenyra exhaled. ‘’Have I taken this too far?’’
‘’I think it’s too late for that question.’’ Alicent stopped walking, keeping her fingers interlocked with Rhaenyra’s as she stared at the leaf-drenched turf. ‘’I had considered Moon Tea, just in case.’’
Rhaenyra shook her head. ‘’The risk is too great. Few have access to the stock. Even if you stole it, they would eventually follow the road back to us.’’
After staring at the ground for a fleeting moment, Alicent lifted her gaze. ‘’Even if it was a possibility, would you want that?’’
‘’No,’’ Rhaenyra answered instantly. There was a flash of hesitation before she violently shook her head. ‘’I don’t know what I want anymore.’’
Alicent gave her a sober look. ‘’You will not accept your father’s offer?’’
‘’You heard?’’
Alicent nodded slowly.
‘’He wants me to fuck and breed so that I can have children and then lie to the Kingdom about the true nature of their birth.’’ Rhaenyra let out a frustrated cackle. ‘’Yes, I know the irony in what I am saying now that my words are heard aloud. If you will pardon me, Your Grace…I am a cunt.’’
‘’Rhaenyra…’’ Alicent sighed, tightening her hold on Rhaenyra’s hand. ‘’We will find a way.’’
‘’How? Daemon knows…’’
‘’We don’t know that for certain!’’ Alicent stressed. ‘’We don’t even know if I am with child. It could be a common illness…’’
‘’What if it’s not? We can’t pass off an inflated stomach for illness. By then, it’ll be too late.’’
‘’His Majesty would never do anything to hurt you. Your punishment would be…’’
Rhaenyra lifted Alicent’s hands and clasped them hard together. Finally, she allowed the tears to flow down her cheeks. ‘’You are the one I care about! I know that I’m safe because I’m the Princess who has to fulfil their duties one way or another. You are expendable and I hate that! I want you safe! I want you to be free! I want us to be free!’’
Her outburst drove Alicent into stunned silence. The Queen had never seen Rhaenyra this broken before. It was a distressing sight. She didn’t know what to do other than to lean forward and press her lips against Rhaenyra’s. The Princess melted into the soft kiss. Yet, she was still panting rapidly. Alicent pulled away and rested her forehead against Rhaenyra’s, soothing her with her soft breathing.
Rhaenyra hated herself for showing weakness. If her father or Daemon had gotten this emotional in front of their subjects, there would be upheaval within the court. Rhaenyra tried to be like that. But, when she was with Alicent, she could be herself. She wanted to be like this all the time. Playing the part of diligent Princess was becoming tiresome and unsafe. She felt Alicent’s arms around her, pulling her into a gentle hug. Rhaenyra welcomed the embrace. She buried her face into Alicent’s neck and sobbed for a short while.
‘’Fretting about this will do you no favors,’’ Alicent whispered. ‘’Let us return to camp. We don’t have to join the hunt. We can stay for the food and drinks.’’
Rhaenyra sniffled. ‘’Can we stay here for a little while longer?’’
Alicent nodded. Threading her fingers through Rhaenyra’s hair, she calmed her down. They didn’t plan to stay for long. But, there was still enough time for them to enjoy this moment before the rest of the camp went off to hunt. Enjoying the peace while they could, Rhaenyra felt her tears dry up and warmth in her chest blossomed.
‘’So, you are not going to go along with your father’s offer?’’ Alicent questioned, a slight tease in the tone of her voice.
Rhaenyra responded with an amused grin. ‘’If he made the offer to me a few years ago, I’d have leapt at the opportunity.’’
‘’Do not be so sly with that tongue of yours,’’ Alicent smirked. ‘’The image of you with a harem of women is enticing, but I’d rather have you all to myself.’’
‘’Is that so?’’ Rhaenyra gently pushed Alicent back until the Queen was pinned against the closest tree. ‘’Then, let me use my sly tongue in other ways.’’
Alicent moaned with delight as she felt Rhaenyra’s fingers lightly dance down to her thigh, touching her through the dress. She loved seeing the Princess’s boisterous smile. Rhaenyra knelt, continuing to tease her with feather-like caresses. Slowly, she removed Alicent’s footwear. The Queen lifted her dress to expose her long, slender legs. Rhaenyra brought her lips to Alicent’s ankle and bestowed it with soft kisses. At the same time, her fingers traced over Alicent’s leg, rising higher and higher. Her actions made the Queen mewl and squirm. Alicent pressed her head back against the tree and moaned loudly as she felt Rhaenyra’s fingers reach up to her calves.
There was no one around to disturb them. But, they had to be quick otherwise their sudden disappearance would warrant a search party from the King.
‘’Rhaenyra, please…’’ Alicent moaned.
Without a word, Rhaenyra kissed her way up to Alicent's thigh, gently biting on the skin, eliciting sweet moans of approval from Alicent. The Queen bucked her hips as she felt Rhaenyra get closer and closer to her desired destination. She lifted her dress higher, writing with ecstasy as she felt Rhaenyra part her legs. Alicent was completely at Rhaenyra’s mercy. Her desperate moans did little to sway the Princess. She was enjoying the sound of Alicent’s begging. As she kept kissing her way up Alicent’s leg, her tongue licked over a drop of wetness that was leaking down her thigh. The intoxicating sensation caused Rhaenyra to growl with lust. Her cock twitched, yearning to be part of the action. But, Rhaenyra held off on pleasing her throbbing shaft. This was about Alicent. She wanted to properly thank her for being so supportive.
Alicent gasped when she felt Rhaenyra’s tongue slowly dragging across her pussy. She reached down to grab a fistful of the Princess’ white hair. Rhaenyra thrust her tongue inside Alicent's entrance, lapping up the juices that flowed from her excitedly. Alicent cupped her hand over her mouth to suppress her screams. Rhaenyra’s wonderful tongue was a gift from the Gods. She drowned in bliss as Rhaenyra used her tongue to fuck her. The Queen grinded her hips against Rhaenyra’s face. Pleasure surged throughout her body over and over again. Grabbing the hem of her dress, Alicent clenched it close to her body so that she could have an unobstructed view of her eating her out. Rhaenyra stared up at her as she licked faster. One of Rhaenyra’s hands reached up to grope Alicent’s breasts.
‘’Yes! Oh, Rhaenyra!’’ Alicent moaned. She grabbed Rhaenyra’s hand and forced her to knead both of her breasts.
Reeling with ecstasy, Alicent’s eyes rolled back into her head. Rhaenyra sealed her lips around Alicent’s clit and sucked on it, massaging it with her tongue as well. Her fingers teased the Queen’s lips before being slowly inserted. Two fingers pumped in and out of Alicent’s pussy at a lightning pace. She struck her with bolts of lightning seeping with pleasure repeatedly.
‘’Rhaenyra…’’ Alicent moaned in a high pitch. She was getting closer.
‘’Scream for me, my Queen,’’ Rhaenyra moaned huskily. She watched Alicent’s face contort with pleasure as she fingered her faster than ever before, taking out all of her frustration by sending Alicent into euphoric bliss. ‘’I want to hear you scream when you cum!’’
Alicent trembled intensely as she rode the waves of her orgasm against Rhaenyra’s fingers. Her pussy clenched tightly around the Princess’s fingers. She did as Rhaenyra commanded and screamed her name at the top of her lungs. Her voice, laced with lust and love, travelled through the woods like the howl of a wolf. She bucked her hips as Rhaenyra slowed the thrust of her fingers down to a crawl. As Alicent’s fire calmed, Rhaenyra rose to her feet and dragged her wet fingers across the Queen’s lips. Alicent delighted in tasting herself and began to suck on Rhaenyra’s digits. Their eyes locked as Alicent bobbed her head back and forth.
‘’Shall I return the favor?’’ Alicent purred seductively.
A low moan rippled through Rhaenyra’s gritted teeth. ‘’I would love that. But, we should return to the others before they come looking.’’
Alicent stopped sucking her fingers and nodded in disappointment. ‘’I want you inside me. I miss it so much.’’
‘’I do too,’’ Rhaenyra kissed her lips. The faint taste of Alicent’s wetness tingled in her mouth. ‘’Thank you for this.’’
Alicent opened her mouth to speak…
Someone tore through the trees and charged at them, wielding a large curved sword above their head, aiming it for the back of Rhaenyra’s neck.
