"Do not underestimate a woman's jealousy; it is a thousand times more terrible than any murderous intent." - Aenar Targaryen, as he faced the frightening look in his queen's eyes.
--------
Seeing Aenar before her, Daenerys, who had many things to say after a year and a half apart, showed an unhappy expression.
"I thought you weren't coming. After all, you've gone a year and a half without even sending a letter. Perhaps you had too much fun with some whore in Winterfell." Said the girl, displaying a fierce expression as she looked at Aenar.
The smile on Aenar's face stiffened at Daenerys' words. Lover? He hadn't had time to sleep in a year and a half... How could he have a lover?
However, when he saw Daenerys' "fierce" expression, Aenar felt like laughing. She was trying to look threatening, but to him, that reaction was simply adorable.
Aenar took her in his arms and sat on the throne, pulling her onto his lap. Looking at the girl, he spoke in an amused tone:
"You think too much. I've never had a mistress, although I have teased a few women."
Daenerys was happy with the first part of the sentence, but the second made her glance dangerously at Aenar.
"Who was the slut?"
She hated others coveting what was hers, especially women like Arianne and Rhaenys. Neither of them hid their interest in Aenar. Especially Arianne, who could jump into Daenerys' husband's bed at any moment, without any hesitation.
"So jealous... But I like it." Aenar commented, kissing her cheek playfully. "Dangerous women are always the most attractive."
Daenerys snorted at his words, but a smile formed on her lips. However, it soon disappeared when she realized that Aenar was subtly manipulating her to divert the subject.
Still, thinking about what was about to happen, she put her jealousy aside for a moment and told Aenar what had happened.
After hearing Daenerys' account, Aenar narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.
Honestly, he couldn't see into the future twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week and twelve years without stopping. That was impossible and would drive him mad.
Among billions of timelines, he used his power to choose the ones that gave him the best decisions. However, each action, decision or indecision created infinite other possibilities.
So, instead of saying that he knew what would happen in the future, it was more accurate to say that he saw infinite possibilities and could guide events towards what suited him best. Nothing in the world was immutable, not even fate.
That's why he was surprised by the events that took place in King's Landing.
"Since Robert gave me such a nice present, how could I refuse?" Aenar commented with an amused tone. He really wanted to fight Robert more and more; the man he saw was worthy of facing him.
"When you get to King's Landing, don't hesitate to kill all the Sparrow fanatics." Aenar said to Daenerys, making the girl widen her eyes in surprise.
"Won't that cause even more chaos?" Daenerys asked, shocked by Aenar's decisive attitude in wanting to exterminate everyone. "After all, they belong to the Faith of the Seven, the largest religion in Westeros for almost ten thousand years."
"Dear Queen, we won't be like Jaehaerys. There will be no peace or any agreement with the Faith of the Seven." Aenar spoke with a murderous tone. "I won't be like Jaehaerys, who didn't avenge the assassination attempt on his own wife."
Honestly, he really thought that Jaehaerys had a cold and calculating mind for having endured his wife's assassination attempt without reacting against the Faith of the Seven. If it had been Maegor or Visenya, Old Town would have been in flames the next day.
Although he knew that Jaehaerys' decision had been a smart move to bring peace to the Kingdom, Aenar would have taken the opportunity to introduce the Gods of Ancient Valyria and make both religions face each other, while the king just watched as both consumed each other's strength, creating a balance.
And when the Faith of the Seven was weakened years later, Aenar would destroy it for good, eradicating the religion of the Andals.
But that would be if he were in Jaehaerys' place. At the moment, Aenar didn't have the slightest patience for such elaborate schemes and chose the simplest and most brutal approach: to completely eradicate the influence of the Faith of the Seven in King's Landing.
As for the people, Aenar just scoffed. Like a true messiah, he wanted to see how the Faith of the Seven would dare to challenge him in the field of indoctrination.
He had every confidence that he would win this ideological war. After all, he had the Bible and could perform real miracles in people's eyes.
Daenerys looked at Aenar with a sick, obsessive gleam in her eyes. She really loved it when her husband showed this murderous attitude. Just as Aenar found dangerous women attractive, Daenerys felt the same fascination.
"Don't worry, I'll bathe the Great Sept of Baelor in the blood of all the septons." Daenerys promised with an equally murderous tone. If Aenar didn't mind causing more chaos, neither did she.
Initially, she planned to eliminate these people more discreetly. But if Aenar wanted to act publicly and decisively, then she would do exactly as he wanted.
Aenar couldn't help but show a pleased expression when she heard Daenerys' promise. The girl was not at all indecisive.
"I have to go now. Remember to control the walls first and then gradually take control of the city." Aenar said, stroking Daenerys' hair. "I'll send Rhaella to King's Landing."
Originally, he had planned to let his grandmother conquer Harrenhal, but changes in plans could always happen. He couldn't allow Daenerys to remain alone in King's Landing. The girl might be determined, but she was still too young to control a city of half a million people.
Daenerys agreed with Aenar's words. She understood why her mother was coming. King's Landing wasn't like Dragonstone; the city had half a million inhabitants and was definitely not easy to manage, especially without anyone to help her.
"Before you go, remember not to provoke other women, you womanizer." Daenerys spoke with a threatening tone, returning to the initial topic of conversation.
Aenar laughed and undid his projection, causing Daenerys to fall back onto her throne.
"I will make no promises, my dear queen." Aenar let out those words before disappearing completely.
"Humph." Daenerys snorted, dissatisfied. She knew that Aenar had only said that to provoke her and make her jealous again. She realized that he liked to see her jealous of other women.
"Bastard, always likes to tease me." Daenerys grumbled, but a smile appeared on her lips. The news that Aenar hadn't had a mistress in the last year and a half made her more than satisfied.
However, remembering that Aenar had teased a few women, Daenerys tried to remember who might be close to her husband, gradually creating a list of suspects. Arianne was at the top, followed by Kinvara and then Rhaenys.
The reason Kinvara was ahead of Rhaenys was simple: the woman had no sense of shame or any shyness. If Aenar wished, she would simply jump into his bed without hesitation.
Rhaenys, on the other hand, was shy, just like Visenya at the beginning of her relationship with Aenar. Although that could change, it wouldn't be suddenly. Therefore, the two main suspects were Arianne and Kinvara.
"Humph." Daenerys gave her a scornful look and muttered, "I have to discipline these women, or they'll think they can replace me and Visenya."
She didn't want to be so drastic, but her older sister was too kind to take harsh measures against these women. Daenerys needed to make it clear that, whatever they did, none of them would ever be above her and Visenya.
With a wicked grin, Daenerys almost let out a villainous laugh, like Aenar's occasional smiles. But she held back; she didn't want to look like a villain like her husband.
If Aenar could read her thoughts, he would probably be dismayed. Although he was a complete villain, he still needed to keep up appearances of a good guy in the eyes of the world.
During the army's march towards Gemini Castle, Aenar opened his eyes and looked at his grandmother, who was riding alongside Rhaenys and other women.
Holding his horse's reins, he approached.
"Grandma, change of plans." He said, before whispering what he had just discovered.
Rhaella's eyes widened as she heard her grandson's words. She opened her mouth in surprise. Not in her wildest dreams had she imagined that Robert would actually leave King's Landing.
But when she heard that Daenerys was going to a city in complete chaos, Rhaella's face changed dramatically. She really wanted to hit her daughter at that moment.
King's Landing had become a veritable hell on earth. How could a girl her age control a collapsing city on her own? Especially without a Court to help her administer it.
"I'll go immediately." Rhaella spoke with a serious tone. At that moment, her only concern was to get to King's Landing as quickly as possible.
