Daemons pov
That fucking bastard. How dare he touch her? She's fucking mine! And he tried to..he was going to rape her. She's mine now. She wants to be mine. We've kissed. It's the next day and I wait for her outside of her door. "Rhaenyra" I speak to my niece. She smiles "here for Rhaelle are you uncle?" I nod "yes." She's aware. "You'll have better luck getting her up I bet." She tells me. I ask "she's not up?" She shakes her head "she refused to do so" and with that she's gone.
I walk into her chambers and see her laying in bed under the covers "Rhaelle." I sit beside her body. She mutters "daemon?" I say "it's me" she shows her face and I ask "what's this about not wanting to get out of bed today princess?" She says "I did...then I heard whispers. And then my body started to hurt" I ask her stroking her cheek gently "what whispers? And I can have the maester bring you milk of the poppy" "they know of us daemon." She sighs.
We weren't exactly hiding. "And over night I went from being the princess that should've never been to the princess whore" she tells me. I tell her "you aren't a whore." "They said the only reason you'd ever go for me is because you pity me and can't have rhaenyra. And they said I'm just trying to fuck my way to the top from being nothing by being with you because you're going to be king" she continues.
I kiss her forehead "I do not want rhaenyra. The only one I want is you Rhaelle. You're to be my wife if I have it my way. And I'm not going to be king. You are going to be named heir to the iron throne. Don't believe this gossip. Let them speak. We both know nothing they say is the truth" I note the bruising on her neck is worse. "Maid!" I call. One comes in and I say "tell the maester to bring the princess some milk of the poppy and paste for bruising" she nods and leaves. I kiss her hand "who said such a thing about you?" She shakes her head "it doesn't matter" I stroke her cheek "it matters if you're upset elle. Tell me" "what is the meaning of this?!" It's viserys.
He sees her "what did you do to her?! Brought her out past the hour of the owl! And treated her like a whore in the middle of a street and now she is harmed!" She tells him "viserys it is not his fault. He didn't take me there I snuck out to see him. He didn't hurt me he saved me from a rapist and I kissed him" viserys asks "why would you do that?" "Because I know viserys. I know that you've sworn me to him with fire and blood and I know you've broken that sacred vow." She snaps. "Daemon is not a good man" he tries and she replies "he's better to and for me than you ever have been in my life. And you're my father"
"You cannot marry daemon you're to be wed to Corlys' son" he says. I glare "no she will not!" "She is my daughter she will wed who I say" he glares at me. I glare "you cannot take her from me brother" "she is not yours to keep" viserys tells me. I chuckle "you sure about that?" She tells viserys "I want to marry him" "you are not of age yet!" He snaps. "Yet you plan to marry me off to laenor valaryon! Who is my cousin by the way. There is no real difference" she argues. "You're marrying laenor" he snaps.
She tells him "fine" and viserys says "we need to talk in the throne room Daemon." I nod and he leaves. She kisses me and says "I will not wed him" I nod and smile "how much you want to bet that he's going to exile me?" She chuckles "I'm certain he will." I pull the blanket off of her and lift her night dress and look at the bruise on her thigh. It's a purple color now. In the shape of a hand. I kiss her thigh softly "if I already didn't cut it from his body I'd have his head" she tells me "I'll be okay." I nod and the maester comes in and says "milk of the poppy." I nod taking it "thank you" giving it to her. I tell her "if he does exile me I want you with me." After the maester leaves. She smiles "where will we go?" "Dragonstone first. Then we can head wherever your heart desires" I say with a smirk and kiss her jaw to her neck avoiding the bruises "anywhere. Hell we can even go to the Dothraki sea and show our dominance and have an army of our own and take over the world" she cups my face and tells me "I don't care where we go as long as we are not here" I nod and kiss her again "I should go before I'm dragged before the king" she nods and tells me "if you apologize and tell him what you told me if what you said is what he's calling you for...he'll forgive you...he's soft like that" I chuckle knowing fully well that viserys is soft. I kiss her shortly "I'll return. Get some more sleep. You still seem tired" she nods and I go
