Her life changed a lot, but she admits that everything really changed at the tourney at Harrenhal.

Before him, Rhaegar was a prince who lived in a fantasy world in his mind, immersed in melancholy, somewhat apathetic and inactive.

But after meeting a mysterious seer, Elia felt the difference. Something in him woke up.

"The seer said we would have five children, two boys and three girls. And that one was on the way. Elia was shocked and put her hand on her stomach. -Elia you... We... Will we have another baby?"

She confirmed. She wanted it to be a surprise, but there was no point in hiding it. Rhaegar felt his prophecies come to life.

"I know it's hard to believe in prophecies so old and that we still can't see. But please believe me. This is serious! It's our future, it's our children, our grandchildren and their children!"

She promised to believe. When at the end of the tournament Rhaegar won, he placed the crown of Queen of Love and Beauty on her head and caressed her belly.

:Today is this crown of flowers, but soon I will put on you a crown of gold, silver and precious stones. Dragon promise." -he says, as people clap their hands and their smiles widen.

Rhaegar uses his charm to win people over to his side. He was more calculating and focused and deep down Elia was relieved that her husband was out of the mental torpor he was in to be the crown prince needed by the Seven Kingdoms.

He uses his charm to approach Robert Baratheon and ask about his grandmother Rhaelle, saying that his mother misses her aunt. But you can't because...

Your father is crazy and arrested your mother. With subtlety, he also approaches Brandon Stark and his fiancée Catelyn Tully, hinting at a future marriage alliance between their families.

Everything had gone according to plan at Harrenhal and everyone was talking positively about what a great and beautiful tournament it was.

When Aegon was born and she almost died, Elia thought the prophecy was wrong as she couldn't have any more children.

But to his surprise, when Aegon was six months old, Elia discovered that she was pregnant for the third time.

"But don't we take care of ourselves?"

"Yes, I drank what Pycelle ordered."

Restless Rhaegar called a ship to Dorne and left a notice saying they would visit Elia's family.

When they got there, Rhaegar called his brothers, explaining the situation.

"There's something wrong. I didn't intend to get Elia pregnant now, I would wait for her to recover better from Aegon's birth. What is happening?"

Oberyn and Doran quickly came to the same conclusion.

"Are you sure what she took was to prevent pregnancy?"

Then they discovered that what was actually being given to Elia was to increase the chance of pregnancy, so that she would get pregnant faster and thus die in childbirth.

Rhaegar decided that Elia and the children would stay here in Dorne, for their own safety. -I don't trust my father.

"I don't trust Pycelle. I can't trust anyone in that capital!" -he regrets.

Shortly after, terrible news. Brandon Stark was to marry Hoster Tully's daughter, but was summoned to the capital, accused of treason by Aerys. His father was mad, and in his paranoia upon hearing that Rhaegar had been talking to Robert and Brandon at the tournament, he killed Brandon and ordered the deaths of Robert Baratheon, the entire Stark family, Jon Arryn and Hoster Tully, to destroy the alliances between the Great Houses.

The answer was, of course, war.

Rhaegar sent a letter to the leader of each of the Rebellion and to Houses Lannister and Tyrell.

He would dethrone his father and bring justice.

It was the most terrible year in Westeros, as Aerys took Rhaella and Viserys hostage and held several of Brandon's companions captive, locking up the city and threatening to burn everyone alive.

Elia gave birth to her third child there, in her family's castle, while a civil war raged.

In another world, another woman would give birth to that child, in an abandoned tower in the middle of the desert. In this one, he was born in a castle, with no doubt about his identity and legitimacy. He was a charming boy, with black curls like Elia's, and eyes of amethyst purple so strong they looked black.

When the war was finally over and she was able to return to the capital with her three children, Rhaegar was finally able to hold the little one in his arm for the first time.

"What's his name?"

"Jonorys. Because in Valyrian it means 'Hope for the Future' ".

Rhaegar smiles and approves the name.

He fulfills his promise at the tournament, placing the queen's crown on her head.

And they try everything to heal the kingdom. Four years after Jonorys, Elia gave birth to Visenya.

A Dornish-looking girl with violet eyes like Rhaenys. And five years ago, by surprise, Elia gave birth to yet another baby girl, this time fully Valyrian, and in honor of that Rhaegar named her Valyria.

When Elia starts talking about weddings, Rhaegar makes it clear that he has decided that Aegon will marry Daenerys.

"But we need to have alliances with our vassals!"

"The others in the family can, but Aegon will be king. His children need a strong Valyrian bloodline."

"But if that's the case then I want to decide who the others are going to marry!"

"All good. Aegon marries Daenerys, but the others you have the final say."

Elia chose each marriage carefully. Viserys married Cerenna Lannister. Rhaenys married Willas Tyrell.

The day before Aegon and Daenerys's wedding, she learned that her other son intended to flee with her to Essos and stopped them in time.

Elia wanted no excuses for their youthful foolishness.

"She's not yours, she's not for you. If it were, no one could stop it. And it really impresses me, you who claim to love your family are willing to humiliate your brother in public like that!" — Elia says, furious.

"We're in love, mom!"

"Passions are wind. Words are wind. Love doesn't fill the belly, nor the coffers. Duty yes."

She wasn't going to let anyone there shirk their duty. They were the royal family, the example! And Rhaegar and Elia worked hard to regain the people's trust in House Targaryen.

Tarnishing the image of your house when it has already proven itself with horrible consequences in previous generations would only throw your effort and work as king and queen in the mud.

They say they are in love, but that was now. In 20 years, they wouldn't even remember why they liked each other, Elia has seen examples like this before

"Let the wind take what does not belong to you, because soon what will be yours forever will appear."

Elia was nipping stupidity in the bud, because the wind easily carries away what doesn't have strong roots.

She had another union in mind, and in this one, she would plant what would make it bloom.

Love is the death of duty, and duty is the death of love.
