Summary
'My father chose me, his first born child, to succeed him. He held to his decision until death. And yet, Alicent's son sits my throne. I mean to fight this war, and win it.'
Rhaenyra Targaryen knows she is the rightful queen of The Seven Kingdoms. Through her tenure as Princess of Dragonstone, she has proven her loyalty to The Realm, from her confrontation with Daemon in her youth to preserving precious ties with House Velaryon through her first marriage. Despite the long line of betrayals committed against her by her ex-best friend, Alicent Hightower, Rhaenyra has tried to maintain peace within The Targaryen Dynasty at every turn, even when her husband, Daemon Targaryen, and her political advisors encouraged her to wage war.
Rhaenyra is intent on taking The Iron Throne with minimum bloodshed. She knows it is what her father would have wanted - Viserys had spent his final days trying keeping his family united. She stands before The Painted Table on Dragonstone, surrounded by her allies, waiting for the return of her two sons, Jacaerys and Lucerys Velaryon, and her aunt Rhaenys Targaryen, from their most current mission: recruit the great houses of Westeros to her cause.
