THE BEST MATCH. PART 1

Warning: this work characterizes only my thoughts about who would be the most profitable match for a reader who is the daughter of Rhaenyra, depending on the firstborn and who is her father. You may not agree with this opinion. English is not my native language.

Rеаder as Harvin Strong's daughter (born after Jace):

1. Cregan Stark:

From your mother's side, you will never feel the pressure or imposition of any particular male lord. But that doesn't mean you won't have casual conversations about who you'd better watch (especially after the events of episode 8 of season 1). When your brother goes north to enlist the support of the Starks and their vassals in your mother's claim to the throne, the young Lord of Winterfell will most likely propose your betrothal to him (this was mentioned in the books). Even in times of peace, your mother would be happy to agree to such a proposal, but now, when the war is about to begin, the conclusion of such an alliance will be like a gift from heaven for her. Although you might think that the queen is driven only by ambition and the opportunity to "exchange" you for an army, in fact, this is not the case at all. Of course, Rhaenyra needs an army, but she would never in her life enter into such contracts if she knew that your future husband is a bad person and that your life together will bring you only grief. In addition, the queen is quite realistic about the affairs of war and understands the risk of losing. In this case, she can only hope that no matter how destructive and dangerous the confrontation is, it will not have the power to reach the distant cold lands and you, her only daughter, will be safe there.

2. Oscar Tully

In general, the situation here is similar to the situation with Cregan Stark, with the difference that the initial negotiations and proposal will not be made to your brother, but to Daemon Targaryen, or he himself can propose it. Such a move would help speed up the moment of "choosing the right side" by the river lords, perhaps even without the need to issue such an order to the incapacitated Grover Tully. Again, returning to marriage from a non-political point of view, Daemon would not promise your hand to someone who was not worthy of you both in terms of status and personality. You may not be his own daughter, but he still does not wish you harm (and certainly does not want to feel the wrath of your mother). Yes, he is more rigid and principled in matters of politics and alliances (that is, your "I don't want" would be less important to him than to Rhaenyra), but if, purely theoretically, some old, gluttonous lord would ask for your hand in marriage, then the king-consort at best he will make fun of this person, at worst he will send him to a stranger. Therefore, although at the beginning Damon may think of Oscar as a weak, naive boy (because of which there is something to despise), he sees that the young lord is not a bad person and in the future, he can really become a good husband for you. After Oscar winning the title of the new Lord of Riverrun, the trial of Willem Blackwood, and that little fight between them, your stepfather changes his mind about the boy and is convinced that he was not wrong in choosing your groom.

The least likely party for you would be your brothers, as such a marriage would not be of any strategic benefit. After all, both in the conditions of war and in peacetime, Rhaenyra would try to confirm the right of her sons to the inheritance of both the house of Targaryen and the house of Velarуon precisely through dynastic alliances through marriage.

Reаder as Lаenor Velarуon's daughter (born after Jace):

1. Jacaerys Velarуon

Unlike the previous case where your marriage to Jace is unlikely, in the case where you are the daughter of Lаenor, your brother is almost the only candidate in Rhaenyra's eyes. You are the legitimate direct heir of the Targaryens and Velarуons, but Rhaenyra cannot simply take and "jump" the right of succession to Jace's throne without recognizing him (and, as a result, his brothers) as bastards. At the same time, she cannot take the crown from you either from a moral point of view, or from a political point of view (because in this case, nothing will prevent Corlys Velarуon, who wants the heirs of his blood to sit on the iron throne, to announce to the whole world that the sons of the princess The Dragonstones have no relation to the Velarуons). Clever way to solve this dilemma would be marriage, on the one hand, you will rule the seven kingdoms, as you should, on the other hand, she does not need to limit Jace in anything. Add to this as a bonus that your engagement can contribute to reducing the number of rumors about the personalities of all your brothers.

2. Aegon Targaryen

Alicent Hightower is definitely not stupid and she knows that how much was beneficial for her son from your marriage. On the other hand, Rhaenyra would never allow you to be passed off as her younger brother - a promiscuous and drunkard. Then the queen could resort to manipulation and pressure from Viserys. The king has always wanted family reunification, Alicent knows this, so she can pretend that this marriage is last  an opportunity to unite the family. In such a case, Rhaenyra would not be ignored the king's direct order. But then again, the word of a beloved daughter for Viserys also has a lot of power, and your mother definitely does not allow Alicent to weave her web of intrigue so easily. In a word, in this case, you have a really good chance to find a wife for Aegon, the only question is which of the women will be able to sway the king to her side.

Based on all of the above, the least likely match for you (ironically) is any lord not directly related to your family.

Це моя перша робота, тому я трохи нервую, публікуючи це. Крім того, англійська не є моєю рідною мовою, тож я сподіваюся, що я не надто облажався. У будь-якому випадку, дякую, що прочитали цю роботу.

- Ви народилися в той час, коли ваш батько Нед Старк брав участь у війні повстання Роберта Баратеона.

- Catelyn was very worried about the well-being of her husband and was afraid to remain a widow, but then the gods gave her you and it became a blessing for her

- although she was still afraid of the death of her husband, but now she had you, her little happiness and consolation; now she was no longer worried about being alone in this world because she had you

- the raven informed Ned Stark about your birth

- being alone in his tent and reading a letter from his wife, Lord of Winterfell allowed a tear of joy to roll down his cheek "I became a father... I had a daughter"

- later, when the war ended and your father returned home, he brought another child in his arms, his bastard

- your mother was very angry and disappointed by your father's concession, but all she could do was accept the child as a member of the family

- your father fell in love with you the moment he saw you and refused to let you go for the next few days (this attachment of Ned to you in turn helped Catelyn warm to her husband again)

- less than a year passed when your younger brother Rob was born, and a few years later the whole castle was already filled with screams and fun of you and your younger siblings

- your parents give love to all their children, but you will always be special to them, not only because you are their firstborn, but also because your very existence gave them hope in difficult times and helped them become a family again

 - when you became older, you were assigned the best teachers of Winterfell, Sept

- if you showed an interest in politics, philosophy, sword fighting, and other subjects not usually taught to young ladies, Ned Stark would gladly let you study them, and sometimes let you attend at meetings and councils

- Catelyn initially did not support your passions (especially everything related to the sword and fighting), as she believes that a young lady has no reason to possess such knowledge, but seeing your satisfied smile, she still decides to let you enjoy your favorite thing (as well as until you are injured, even if it is minor)

- if you chose a more "quiet" hobby (for example, embroidery or playing musical instruments), Catelyn would be incredibly proud of you and support you in every, even small, progress

- your parents would raise all their children by teaching them love and respect for each other

- you, as an older sister, always tried to help your brothers and sisters in something (sometimes, in moments when your actions would diverge from your mother's convictions, she could shame you because of "what example you set for your brothers and sisters")

- depending on your hobbies, most likely one of your sisters would be more attracted to you than the other, but despite this, you all always remembered that family is the most important thing

- when comes your first blood, you will have an important conversation with your mother, you will be told what changes have occurred in your body and what consequences this entails

- before that, you were told more than once about the obligation to become a wife and give birth to children to your husband one day, but never went into details

- at the same time, this does not mean that you will be forced to marry too soon or against your will

- Ned Stark will never use his children exclusively for political interests, so he considers it his duty to first make sure for himself that your future husband is a good person who will always respect you and your interests.

- also your father can talk to you and get your opinion about who you would like to combine your life with

- навіть після одруження ви все ще бажаний гість вдома, і ваші батьки завжди будуть готові допомогти вам порадою чи дією
