The Heir of the Dragon: A Rhaenyra Targaryen Quest

Reader mode
If we left ASAP for the progress, would we be back before our siblings' birth, possibly before, or well after?

Leaving on a progress right after the birth also seems like it has downsides, since if it's a brother that's when Johanna will start pushing the hardest - she can't go around saying her kid is the King's firstborn son right now, because it might be a daughter, or she might miscarry, and also late into the pregnancy she'll probably be less capable of politicking.

But OTOH we probably can't sit too long on it, without offending Viserys? It's a birthday present. So it might be better to rush it now and try to be back in time.

If we did a full years' progress, we wouldn't be back in time, but if we waited until the birth there's a good chance that Winter hits and we can't do it.

@Azel has stated a willingness if Winter would interrupt the progress to wait all the way until Spring, so several years from now, to have the Progress, so anyone voting for that plan should know that that's the direction it's aiming?

Remember that we cannot start the Royal progress until Rheanyra is 16, so we have to wait until the beginning of turn 9 anyway...

I don't think that is going to affect us, remember that seasons in ASOIAF last for several years, so we should have at least 2-3 years of Autum...

Ok here is my plan, I want to learn music ASAP since Teen Spirit confirmed that if we do it before the Royal Progress we will learn some songs along the way, and I want to talk with Lord Strong first and then with Beesbury when we prepare the Royal Progress...

Learning a bit more about how the smallfolk live before we go out into the wide world seems pretty wise. And now seems the best time to 'strike' in regards to speaking with Johanna that we'll have. She'll be distracted with her first child for a good while...and I'd rather her not notice any unintentional sour looks from Rhaenyra towards her child till we get our feelings towards them in order.

Apparently according to Teen Spirit, Autumn lasts more 1-2 years, not 2-3, at least normally.

Ok if that is the case Here is my new plan, we learn music, prepare for the Royal Progress and we talk with Lord Lyman Beesbury, because since he is the guy who will handle the budget fro our Progress we should double down on it
