ITLALICS=DOTHRAKI

When Rhaegar, who was still going by the name Rhee, arrived in Meereen, he informed the Dothraki that was guarding the gate in their language, who he was, and that he had come to be with his family. Two of the Dothraki bowed and escorted him to the Great Pyramid. There he was greeted by Irri, who escorted him up to the living quarters below the Royal family. If they were to keep up the charade, Rhaegar had to be treated as any other servant of the Queen and King.

Rhaegar understood this and accepted it. He went into the room that Irri and showed him, "I will have a bath drawn for you, and inform the Queen that you have arrived."

"Thank you, Irri," Rhee said. Irri bowed and left Rhee alone.

A few moments later, the servants came in to fill the tub with hot water. When Rhee's bath was ready, he was informed that he was to dine with the Queen and her family. Rhee nodded, and the servant left. Rhee undressed and got into the scalding hot water. Relishing the hot water, Rhee relaxed in the tub for a moment then began to scrub himself clean with the scented soaps and oils that had been provided for him.

When Rhee was clean enough, he got out of the tub and dried himself with a fluffy towel that had been left for him. Wrapping the towel around his waist, Rhee walked out in the bed chamber and found a change of clothes on the bed for him. Rhee had just finished dressing and was about to put his boots on when there was a knock at the door.

"Come in."

The door opened, and Missandei came into the room, "Good evening, Rhee."

Rhaegar looked up and smiled, "Good evening, Missandei."

"I have come to escort you to dinner with the royal family. If you're ready, would you please follow me," Missandei said with a blush.

"Aye, Missandei, I'm ready, lead the way," Rhee said.

Missandei led Rhee up one flight of stairs and into the dining room where Ser Barristan, Ser Jorah, and Daenerys were sitting waiting for the Khal, Queen, and their children. Missandei took her seat next to Daenerys. Rhaesa insisted that they all have breakfast together as a family. And that included the knights and Missandei. They were the people she trusted the most, and it was only fitting that they all dine together.

Rhee greeted everyone at the table and sat next to Ser Barristan. A little while later, Drogo and Rhaesa come into holding Rhaego and Reuel. Rhaesa smiled at seeing everyone seated at the table; her eyes light up at see Rhaegar sitting next to Ser Barristan, "Welcome, Rhee, I'm glad to see that you made it."

"Thank you, Your Grace, I am glad to be here, and thank you for inviting me to breakfast. It is also a great pleasure to see you as well, Great Khal."

*It is good to see you, Rhee, will you be staying long,* Drogo asked.

"Yes, I have finished setting up the new government in Yunkai and am not at the disposal of the queen."

Drogo nodded. He and Rhaesa sat down with their sons in their laps. When the babies noticed their family around the table, they squealed and started leaning in Dany's direction. She laughed, and Drogo handed Rhaego to Missandei, who gave him to Dany. Rhaesa then handed Reuel to his father, and he, in turn, handed him to Missandei.

The babies were so happy to see Dany and Missandei that they babbled to her and told her jokes that no one understood but would laugh whenever the babies would laugh. After spending some time with Dany, Rhaego wanted to go to Ser Barristan, and Reuel went with Dany. And so it went the babies were passed around until they got back to their parents. Since they didn't know who Rhee was, the boys didn't linger with him.

Once the babies were back with their parents, the servants brought out their breakfast. There were scrambled eggs, blackened bacon, sausage, fruit, oatmeal, honey, freshly baked bread, and an assortment of meats. Rhaesa and Drogo prepared the babies oatmeal, adding fruit and honey, then mashing it so that the babies could eat it more comfortably.

Rhaegar watched in fascination as the Great Horse Lord gently placed Reuel on his lap and then started spoon-feeding the baby his oatmeal. It made Rhaegar long for his children; he wished that he had done this with his son and daughter instead of having a servant feed them, "My Queen, do you and the Khal always feed the princes," Rhee asked.

"Yes, since the day after we arrived in Meereen, Khal Drogo and I have fed our children their morning meals together. Then we feed them their evening meal. It the time permits, we feed them lunch as well. Drogo and I decided that the children should spend as much time with us as possible, and eating together is the perfect way to bond," Rhaesa explained.

Rhaegar nodded. He thought it was a great idea and then went back to having his breakfast. As they ate, everyone chatted and talked about what they were going to do that day, *I shall take my bloodriders out to hunt today, Moon of My Life. They are getting restless being in the city. We may raid some of the smaller villages.* Drogo told his wife.

Rhaesa nodded. She understood that this new life was taking a toll on the Dothraki and that they were not used to being in one place for so long. So, Rhaesa didn't mind that they go out hunting and pillaging most of the time the villages would pay homage to Drogo anyway. It was the Dothraki way, and Rhaesa wasn't going to ask the theme to change any more than was necessary.

*Alright, My Warrior Love, please be careful,* Rhaesa told her husband.

*Always my love.* Drogo said to his wife and kissed her.

*How long will you be gone,* Rhaesa asked.

*A few days, perhaps a week.*

*Do you want one of the dragons to go with you?*

*No, I want them all to remain with you and protect our sons.*

Rhaesa nodded.

After breakfast, Ser Barristan and Ser Jorah excused themselves; they were going to spar for a bit before they take up their duties. Drogo stood up and kiss his wife, *I shall get ready to depart, shall I take the boys?*

Rhaesa smiled up at her husband, *Please, I have something to discuss with Rhee.*

Drogo nodded; he knew what Rhaesa was going to talk to her brother about. They had talked about it well into the night, and Drogo had agreed with his wife that what she was planning was a good idea. Drogo picked up his sons and had them kiss their mother, and then he left.

When it was only Rhaesa, Daenerys, Missandei, and Rhee in the room, Rhaesa started the discussion, "How are things in Yunkai, Rhee."

"Very good, My Queen, the new government we established is flourishing very nicely, trade is coming back to the city. The former slaves are content. The schools you wanted to start are beginning to take off; the children love learning. The Unsullied are training a new City Watch. There are a few problems here and there with the former Masters, but we deal with them as they arise."

"And Astapor," Dany asked.

"The same result. The reforms that you have implemented are being taken very well by the people. But like in Yunkai, there are problems with the former Masters. Though the Unsullied deal with them quickly."

"Thank you, Rhee, for all your help in establishing the new government in both cities," Rhaesa said, "And now I would ask for your help once again."

"If I can help in any way, My Queen, I will be honored to do so."

Rhaesa and Daenerys look at each other. They had discussed Rhaesa's plan as well, and Dany agreed with Drogo. It was a great idea to ask Rhee. Rhaesa's violet eyes bore into the 'Dornishman's' brown eyes, "I would ask you to become the Hand of the Queen, Rhee."

Rhaegar was startled at his sister's request. It was not something he was expecting her to ask him. He smiled at his sisters, who both looked at him expectantly, "My Queen, it would be an honor to serve as your Hand."

Rhaesa gave her brother a radiant smile, "Thank you, Rhee, I know that with your knowledge, we will make Meereen flourish and after that, we will sail to Westeros to take back the Iron Throne," Rhaesa declared.

Rhee and Daenerys agreed, Rhaesa then stood up and walked over to her brother. She took out a pendant and pinned it to his tunic. "I Rhaesa Targaryen, First of her name, Queen of Meereen and the Bay of Dragons, hereby make you, Rhee, the Hand of the Queen."

Rhee bowed to his sister, then kissed her hand, and with that began the genuine Reign of the Targaryens over Slaver's Bay, or as Rhaesa now called The Bay of Dragons.
