Rhaenys stared at her daughter in horror. She was deeply wounded.
"Mari, my love, why do you hate your own ancestry so much? I hope you do not mean to insult me . There are many concerns about those with the blood of the dragon, I know, but we are not all bad."

"No mother, but even you have to admit that bad things always happen when there is a Targaryen around! I dont want Adelene and Oscar to be exposed to that, exposed to here! And I know that they will want to come, but I will do what I can to stop them."

"If you try to stop them they will want to do it all the more," Rhaenys advised with the certainty of an experienced mother. How many times did I make my antipathy to the Targaryen incest plain while you and all your siblings were growing up? Too many, I'll wager. Perhaps if I'd said nothing Daemon wouldn't have conceived a passion for Joanna."
She sighed heavily.
"Perhaps you are right that we are cursed, but we cannot help what we were born, only the choices we make. So, my advice is this, when the children are older, bring them to Court just enough that they understand what it's all about, then perhaps they will see what you see."

"That will only be if I have no other choice Mother." Marianne said with certaintly. "But Daemon isnt the only one that can be blamed for that marriage. Joanna isnt blameless."

""I know, but I think Daemon is more to blame. How do you refuse a king? I am not sure."

"Much as I love you mother... I am glad that I was born a Baratheon, not a Targaryen. I am glad that I am unimportant."

"Blood is blood, though. Daemon is as much a Baratheon as you in terms of his blood, though doubtless he wishes he were all dragon. Perhaps you are right, though., Being the heir is a hard road to walk, as I know full well."

Mari wrinkled up her nose.
"I dont want to be tarred by the same brush as Daemon mother... he took Daeron's life! And is ruining Queen Morgan's!"

Joanna hugged Mari.
"i know, sweetling. It bothers me as much as it bothers you, but he is the anointed king. There is no getting around that."

"i know, and the best I can do is keep Tybolt, Adelene and Oscar away from all that... you do understand dont you?" Mari sat forward, conserned to what her mother would say.

"I do, but I don't want you to be cut off from those of us who do love you, like me. and Joanna. I know you hate her actions but please don't hate your sister. She has always loved you dearly and I am sure she doesn't want to lose your company any more than I do. The deed is done, though, and it cannot be undone."

"I wont be cut off... But my little family belongs far away from here, as far as you can get. And that is the way that I want it to be. If I am needed then I can be got, but the rest of the Wyldes stay in Blackhaven."

Rhaenys nodded.
"Very well. Perhaps I will come visit you soon or you can bring your family to see me wherever I make my home. It won't be Kings Landing. I cannot live in the same city as Daemon any more."

Mari nodded.
"I want you to meet Adelene and Oscar, Mother. Adelene is so inquizative... Oscar is too young for that yet, but he will be just like his father." She gushed, a grin appeared on her face as she spoke.

"I can see you love them all very much. You will be a better mother than I ever was, with my foot in several camps, so to speak."
Rhaenys shrugged, because she'd done her best with the limited mothering skills she had.
"I have someone I want you to meet as well."

Hope you all are well and happy.
