Summary
Her Uncle Aegon takes a measured step towards her until he is pressed nearly chest to chest with her. Vaerra knows what this feels like, what it should feel like, but the emotion pooling in her belly now is not desire, but fear. He reaches for her, combing gently through her hair made wild by the hours she’d spent on dragonback.
“You are a Strong through and through, aren’t you? No one could deny it with your common hair and your common eyes,” he says. He searches her face with a singular focus, as if he is looking for something. “But there is something of the dragon in you too. You have your mother’s nose. Her smile. And there is a certain impetuousness in your gaze when you look at me and my mother, just like my dear older sister. Not when you look at him though.”
She does not need to ask which “him” her uncle is referring to.
“How do I look at him?” Vaerra whispers.
“You look at him the same way he looked to the skies when Vhagar flew over Driftmark, before he claimed her. With hope and terror. Like the challenge of becoming her rider was the only thing worthy of him.”

Summary
Vaerra Velaryon remembers her own childhood in these halls. She remembers the whispers that followed her and her brothers wherever they went. In the gallery, in the training yards, even to the Dragonpit.
Strongs.
Bastards.
Pretenders.
There are days, even now, even as the lauded Lady of Dragonstone, even as Aemond Targaryen’s wife and the mother of his children, that she feels she is an imposter.
