Lady Laena Had Inherited The Beauty Of A True Targaryen From Her Mother, Rhaenys, And A Bold, Adventurous

Lady Laena had inherited the beauty of a true Targaryen from her mother, Rhaenys, and a bold, adventurous spirit from her father, the Sea Snake. As Lord Corlys loved to sail, Laena loved to fly, and had claimed for her own no less a mount than mighty Vhagar, the oldest and largest of the Targaryen dragons since the passing of the Black Dread in 94 AC.

Lady Laena Velaryon, 93AC - 120AC, was the second wife of Prince Daemon Targaryen and mother to his daughters, the ladies Baela and Rhaena Targaryen

Sometimes he envied the girl all her pretty little dreams. She reminded him of Sansa Stark, the child bride he had wed and lost. Despite the horrors Penny had suffered, she remained somehow trusting. She should know better. She is older than Sansa. And she’s a dwarf. She acts as if she has forgotten that, as if she were highborn and fair to look upon, instead of a slave in a grotesquerie.

Daemon Targaryen and a younger Princess Rhaenyra.

Daemon spent long hours in her company, enthralling her with tales of his journeys and battles. He gave her pearls and silks and books and a jade tiara said once to have belonged to the Empress of Leng… He praised her beauty, declaring her to be the fairest maid in all the Seven Kingdoms.

Princess Rhaenyra was also enamoured of her uncle, for Daemon was ever attentive to her. Whenever he crossed the Narrow Sea upon his dragon, he brought her some exotic gift on his return.

“Princess Rhaenyra was a different matter. Daemon spent long hours in her company, enthralling her with tales of his journeys and battles. He gave her pearls and silks and books and a jade tiara said once to have belonged to the Empress of Leng, read poems to her, dined with her, hawked with her, sailed with her, entertained her by making mock of the greens at court, the “lickspittles” fawing over Queen Alicent and her children. He praised her beauty, declaring her to be the fairest maid in all the seven Kingdoms.”

I don’t enjoy the show like I used to, but I’m gonna watch it anyway with the person who made me start the series in the first place.
