always in my villian era because life sucks

“Princess Jaehaera was allowed to walk behind her father's coffin during the funeral process, a luxury that Queen Alicent was not allowed due to her delicate health following the news of the death of her last living child. Prince Aegon and Queen Maella accompanied her as they followed the coffin of their mother.”

“Queen Maella's allies feverishly advised that Princess Jaehaera Targaryen be married to some minor ally of the queen, and sent away from the court so that she would be quickly forgotten, and consequently, her claim disintegrated from memory. But the queen refused with the same fierceness. The six-year-old princess continued to live in the Red Keep in the care and company of her only living relative, the Dowager Queen Alicent Hightower, but she hid from the court to avoid possible plots.”

“In 133 a.c., after the dowager queen Alicent terrorized her granddaughter by suggesting that she slit the throat of Aegon the Younger, the heir was removed from the queen, the princess was removed from her grandmother's care, and the queen took on the task of raising her. It was clear that the dowager queen was losing her sanity, so Princess Jaehaera's visits with her grandmother were not prohibited but greatly limited to avoid another incident.”

“Queen Maella had special tutors brought from Bravos and Pentos who knew about the education of children who did not learn as quickly as others. The young princess Jaehaera was educated and reached her peers in less than a year, after which the queen ordered that the princess be assigned her own ladies-in-waiting of her own age; she even had one bring in a distant Hightower cousin for one of the positions. The princess began to integrate into the court at the hands of the queen and cousin Aegon.”

“Princess Jaehaera, breaking court protocol and decorum, walked behind Queen Maella's coffin accompanied by her cousins, Aegon and Viserys, and the queen children (which included the new king), all the way to the Sept. In the same way she had done with her father years before when Queen Maella's reign began.”

“The ability to steal other people's power is a rare daring of the multiverse; it is one that is rare to see from birth. But Malakai had been absorbing the power of the world around him ever since he had come into the world. It was like a second pair of lungs. If he inhaled deeply, he could absorb everything from one person, or a dozen if he wanted. But he didn't realize that he was inhaling most of the time because it was a natural physical action of his.

Those lungs were like a black hole that ate everything, and he had only once used the full potential of them.

Malakai didn't want to do it ever again.”

To the ceremony in the Sept, Queen Maella wore the colours of the house of her father, Ser Laenor Velaryon. However, she refused to let her grandfather or household relatives walk her down the aisle, and was instead escorted by her younger brothers, Aegon, her heir at the moment, and Viserys, recovered from Pentos a little over a year before. Princess Jaehaera served as a lady-in-waiting to the queen, wearing her grandmother's green colours, with her permission and approval despite the council's opinions.

At the subsequent banquet, the queen, a wife now, wore the red colour of her own house and of her husband, with silver details that imitated those of her wedding dress. Making it go down in history as one of the most iconic moments of fashion of the Realm, and that it would be imitated (or at least attempted) throughout Westeros in years to come.

The wedding was Queen Maella's second and Lord Cregan's fourth, but the last for both of them. It was a quiet affair in ceremony, as the marriage took place in the privacy of the Red Keep, where the septon married them in the Godswood in honour of the new consort's northern culture. Only in the presence of the closest family of the queen and members of the council, Lord Stark's youngest daughters served as ladies-in-waiting. The entire court was invited to the subsequent banquet, but no one was brought from outside the capital for the feast. Both the bride and groom, older than the vast majority of newly-weds in Westeros, dressed in white and gold, in the Old Valyria style for the queen, and with and silver in the classic north style for the consort, representing how the union was nothing more than love. Since there was no or was needed, a political alliance or heirs from the union on either side. It was known as the White Wedding, and many love songs were sung from it.
