King Maekar I Targaryen

"The Anvil"

Some men will say I meant to kill my brother. The gods know it is a lie, but I will hear the whispers till the day I die. And it was my mace that dealt the fatal blow, I have no doubt. The only other foes he faced in the melee were three Kingsguard, whose vows forbade them to do any more than defend themselves. So it was me. Strange to say, I do not recall the blow that broke his skull. Is that a mercy or a curse? Some of both, I think.

Naerys is gonna be doing keg stands (Maekar is holding her up) on Aegon IV's funeral.

Naerys and Maekar are dancing and Aerys is doing a weird little swaying thing. They all host a rave in the Red Keep which Myriah pretends she didn't supply the alcohol for and Daeron pretends he was not dancing wildly. Baelor is busy getting hot and heavy with his wife to be bothered.

What do you think was relationship between Daemon and Daeron's sons were like before the first Blackfyre Rebellion. Daemon being knighted before them probably stunned Baelor and Maekar, but receiving Blackfyre must haved been humiliating for Maekar. And to have Daemon revealed be their uncle certainly didn't help.

It's a very good question, and almost certainly something that will be explored in Fire and Blood Volume 2 (and maybe alluded to in future Tales of Dunk and Egg). We know of extremely little in the way of interaction between the sons of Daeron II and Daemon Waters-then-Blackfyre: Yandel reports that "Prince Baelor ... [won] his famous victory at Princess Daenerys's wedding tourney" in 187 AC by "defeat[ing] Daemon Blackfyre in the final tilt", while Egg notes that Ser Quentyn Ball "taught my father and my uncles how to fight. The Great Bastards too". While Daemon would very likely have been a familiar guest at Daeron II's court - Daemon was granted land near the Blackwater on which to build a castle, and Yandel explains that Daeron "did what he could to keep the Great Bastards close" - it remains to be seen how often he was there (especially following his marriage), and to what extent he interacted with the next generation of princes.

However, what I will note is that I would not assume immediate animosity from Baelor and/or Maekar (and they would I think have the most opinion here, compared to their own brothers) toward Daemon Blackfyre. Indeed, both Baelor and Daemon were noted for their open, charming personalities: Baelor was, according to Yandel, "a man who could win respect with ease and was as open-handed and just as his father", while Daemon (according to GRRM's description of him) wore "a warm smile" and "made friends easily", someone who even managed to stay on good terms with both Bittersteel and Bloodraven. Nor might they have been terribly surprised by Aegon IV revealing that Daemon was his son and bestowing on him a knighthood and the sword Blackfyre (to the extent, at least that Maekar cared, being all of four to eight years old when the event occurred): Aegon IV's careless, self-serving, often cruel generosity was no secret by this point (since this was the same king who had given the Blackwoods Bracken lands as part of a joke and paid a dragon's egg for the right to sex with the daughters of his Butterwell host). It is also worth reminding that there were 12 years between Daeron II's accession and the First Blackfyre Rebellion, years in which Daemon might have appeared as a perfectly chivalrous, perfectly loyal bastardborn relation to the reigning Targaryen king - and so, in other words, not a suspicious or much-disliked individual in the eyes of Baelor and/or Maekar.

So it's possible, and I would say plausible, that the relationship between Daeron's sons and Daemon (before the First Blackfyre Rebellion, obviously) might have been not terribly antagonistic - if not quite fraternal, say, something like a friendly rivalry. They would learn the same martial lessons from the same master-at-arms, compete in the same tournaments, participate in the same royal functions, all, perhaps, shining as the bright young stars of the court. If Daemon got a knighthood at 12, well, Baelor and Maekar earned their knighthoods soon enough (and Baelor was enough of a success at knighthood to unseat Daemon in that wedding tilt, undermining at least in that moment any thought of Daemon as the superior knight). If Daemon had been granted Blackfyre by the late king, well, Maekar certainly seems to have told himself (and subsequently Egg) that "Daemon was a swordsman, and Daeron never was", and that to give the sword to Daeron would have been to "give a horse to a man who cannot ride"; he and Baelor may have simply felt that the gift was no more than a reflection on both Daemon's martial prowess and Aegon the Unworthy's follies (a point perhaps underlined when Daeron II gave Bloodraven Dark Sister). If Daemon had been recognized as the late king's son and legitimized, well, Baelor and Maekar may well have been sure of their places as sons of the reigning king, ahead of even a legitimized bastard in the succession.

In turn, I think such a relationship underlines GRRM's favorite theme, the human heart in conflict with itself. How much richer and more painful a story might it be to have Baelor and Maekar genuinely like Daemon Blackfyre, to have them treat him with friendship and warmth, and then to have to go to war against him and ultimately try to bring him down (and succeed in doing so)? How might they have felt by such a turn of events - disappointed and hurt that so talented and apparently chivalrous a knight had turned against them and their father, confused as to how he could have been led astray by (so they might have thought or hoped) "false friends and evil counselors" (to borrow a turn of phrase from the Lords Declarant), angry at his treason, sad at the circumstances that forced them to war against him and eventually kill him (or, rather, see him killed by Bloodraven)? Just as I think it adds much depth and richness to the story of Bloodraven to have Daemon be that "brother I loved" to whom he alludes in ADWD, so I think it would be very interesting to see Baelor and Maekar have a friendly relationship with Daemon turned antagonistic in the First Blackfyre Rebellion.

knife against the throat - Berena/Maekar, knife against an assassin's throat

Fighting For What's Hers (AO3)

A castle the size of Winterfell truly was an enclosed city – countless people always coming and going, and it was impossible to know all of them by name or even just their face, though Berena Stark did make a point to try.

And a visiting prince means even more strangers, she thought as she discreetly followed one such stranger down the corridor leading to her family’s bedchambers. In accordance with time-honored tradition, her parents had given Prince Maekar their bedchamber while they took her oldest brother Donnor’s bedchamber and he had moved to the Guest House. Berena slipped into a hidden corridor meant for servants’ use then went to her parents’ bedchamber and hid herself behind the carved wooden screen. She only had to wait a moment before the door opened just enough for the catspaw to sneak into the room. He was young, no more than twenty, and nervous. An unsheathed dagger tucked into his belt caught the light.

You’d think he’d know better than to keep a naked blade by his manhood. Berena waited until he hid in the shadows along the far wall before she took a deep breath then she slipped out from behind the screen. The catspaw’s eyes widened when he saw her but she had to respect him for holding his ground.

“You’re from the south, are you not? As well as your employer?” she asked calmly as she approached him. “No man of the North would be so craven as to attack a man in his bedchamber, especially a protected guest. Here, we still hold hospitality sacred.”

“I-I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m a Northerner, I serve the Starks...”

“Obviously not or you would recognize Lord Stark’s elder daughter.” The man reached for the dagger but Berena grabbed it first then she pushed him against the wall and held the blade to his neck, pressing just enough to be felt. “My lord father believes a woman should be able to defend herself. He taught my sister and I personally how to fend off any man who might attack us.”

“I’ve done nothing-” he protested, his eyes wide.

Her calmness slipped as the thought of what she could have lost hit her hard. “You came here to assassinate my betrothed, my one chance at marrying a prince. Did you think that I would just let you? No, nothing will stand in the way of my happiness.” She pressed the blade further into his neck until a bead of blood began to form. She was so focused on the catspaw that she didn’t realize they weren’t alone until a man’s hand reached out from behind her to gently wrap around her hand holding the dagger and pull it away from the catspaw’s neck.

The catspaw pushed her away then tried to escape but he ran into two guards who grabbed him and dragged him out of the room. Berena’s heart was racing and she took a deep breath before turning around. Just as she thought, Prince Maekar Targaryen, her betrothed, was standing before her. What she didn’t expect was that his eyes were dancing.

“Going by my first impression,” he said, amused, “I was worried we would bore each other to death but I see now you’re as fierce as your House’s sigil would suggest. I think we’ll get along well, Lady Berena.”

She raised an eyebrow but couldn’t help smiling back. “Northern ladies are as genteel as any southron lady and twice as fierce.”

“I’m willing to bet you are even fiercer and more genteel than most and I am eager to know you better.”

PRINCESS RHAE TARGARYEN: I may not know any noble lady, but I know a boy who is asking for a good slap. Dunk rubbed his neck. A whole day with cotters makes it as hard as wood. You have met queens and princesses. Did they dance with demons and practice the dark arts? Lady shiera yes. Lord crow's lover of blood. It bathes in blood to maintain its beauty. And once my sister rhae put a love potion in my drink to marry her instead of my sister daella.
