Awesome first chapter, I have always believed that if the realm had another prince besides Rhaegar, a prince that was actually competent then the Targaryen dynasty would have survived, as much as people praises Rhaegar To me he was weak, he knew his father was mad yet he did nothing, he had a beautiful wife yet he choose to forget her for another, and in the end he fail against Robert in the Trident. He failed as a prince and future ruler, as a husband and as a warrior. For all the love he gets his life was full of fail.

Is nice to see an actual competent prince, one that is not content with seeing his legacy be erased, Aelor seems to be the prince that the realm truly needs. He is actually going to act instead of pretend that nothing is wrong, bravo for him. That said great beginning keep up the good work :D

Not quite sure what you try to do with him. The Targs arent getting more sympathy and still deserve to be dethroned.

I like it! I still think the targs will loose though. If that happes i think that aelor could sense tywins betrayl and get his family out of the capital city before its sacked. Maybe he could eventually come to be the commander of the golden company and take back the thrones? If he cant get his family out then at least he could still do that.

Amazing!

He saves Elia and his niece and nephew? Or sends someone to do so? Please?

This story has a great potential. Aelor looks pretty interesting, a Targaryen whose head is screwed on straight. I am very curious as to how his arch will develop. Keep it up!
