Rhaelle's pov I wake beside him and grin. I brush his short hair out of his face gently having missed him. His eyes flutter open "good morning my love" with a grin. I reply "morning daemon" he asks "like it?" Referring to his hair "you look dashing" he grins and we kiss. He stands and I ask "where are you going?" "I should go before someone sees me leaving your room before we're wed. Relations before hand is frowned upon" he chuckles. I sit up "who cares? We're to be wed anyway" he cups my face "the last thing I wish is to dishonor you publicly. I've heard you've worked hard to get to how you're looked at as now" I chuckle "we were spotted last night I'm sure rumors are flying anyway. And I don't care" he kisses my lips softly "I'll end it before it truly begins my love. I won't have people calling you out of your name" I nod and with that he's gone. I stand and handmaidens come in and I choose a dress for the day and pause seeing daemons dagger is still here. Criston comes in "a gift your Grace?" I ask "from who?" "Daemon" he tells me and I take it with a smile and say "thank you ser Criston"
Taking it. I open the box and see a beautiful dress. I grin and say "I'll be wearing this today" to my maidens and they nod and I dress in

I subtlety grab daemons dagger. And tell my hand maidens that they're dismissed. I walk out with Criston following me and I say "how was the watch? Boring? See anything spooky?" He chuckles "no princess nothing spooky." I nod chuckling "good id hate for you to be scared of something that might haunt this place"
"What's going on with you and the prince if I'm allowed to ask?" He questions. "He came back for my hand and my father finally agreed" I tell him. We've grown close over the years. He's like a brother to me. I pause seeing flashes "princess?" He asks and I cough blood. Luckily missing my dress. "Princess?!" He asks again but all I can pay attention to is the vision I'm seeing. More death. Some happiness. And pain. Fights. "Somebody get a maester!" I didn't even notice I was on the ground. Coughing. Criston carries my weak body back to my room he sets me in bed. The door opens and it's daemon, viserys, Alicent, and the maesters.
Daemon reaches me first and he strokes my hair gently "what happened Elle? Are you alright?" I stroke his cheek "vision" viserys says "it's been years since you've had one. Why now?" Daemon grabs a wet rag and wipes the blood from my lips. "They come and go according to what the future may hold." He explains. "May?" Alicent asks. It's Alicent...she's the reason for war.
"They're not 100% guaranteed to happen. Someone might take a different course of action. Which makes the vision change...for better or for worse. They make her weak" he explains. Viserys asks "she was born with sight why do they make her weak?" Daemon says "you've been trying to block them out haven't you?" To me now and I look away and he doesn't let me for long "you need to embrace it my love. If you don't you'll only hurt more. Stop trying to hide it." Kissing my hand.
Viserys asks "why hide your gift?" Daemon gives him a look "because you've done nothing but shame her for it." Daemon kisses my head "no more my love." Alicent asks "what was the vision?" "War. There's some peace and happiness as well...but war" I mutter to her. Viserys asks "against who?" "All of us against one another" I reply. "A civil war?" Viserys asks and I nod. Looking at Alicent. I need to talk to her alone. It all starts because she wants her sons to have the throne because of fear I may kill them to keep my right. I'd never kill my siblings.
I sit up and stand and daemon steadies me and I nod his way. He grins "you look beautiful" taking in the dress. I blush "thank you" we go about our day me and daemon together making up for lost time. Until viserys calls us to the throne room. "There's whispers" shit. I nod and he says "you snuck out last night and went to a brothel and fucked daemon" daemon speaks "I'd never take her virtue in such a manner. We did not have sex brother. Did I touch her? Yes. She's my betrothed and she wanted to see what a brothel was like and we had a few to drink. Then I took her home. Nothing else happened"
"So ser Otto is lying?" He asks and I say "yes. He always does viserys. He questions my virtue so aegon can ascend the throne. These false allegations will spread and the people I got to actually love me will see me as nothing but a whore." He nods "what am I to do? He's your uncle" I say "we're to be wed are we not?" Confused. "What of ser laenor? He's a good man. A knight-" I ask "to mend your political headache with Corlys? Viserys I belong to no man but the one I stand beside." Daemon "you already agreed to wed her to me again. That's twice and a blood oath. Wed her to me in the tradition of our house. I love her and she loves me. What else could you want from her life's partner?" "Lady Royce has passed I've heard" he says. Daemon shrugs "who cares? Our marriage wasn't even real. I didn't fuck her. Wed Rhaelle to me. Brother please." Daemon coughs. What?
I cup his face and note the blood on his lips "what is going on? Daemon are you alright?!" Daemon nods and kisses my head. I ask "viserys what is this?" Seeing his look. "It's true." Daemon has a coughing fit and I sit him down trying to help "what's true? Viserys what is going on?!" I ask worried trying to help him but can't. "You need to be wed to him...soon. He'll die" viserys says. What?! "I swore you two together and the ritual says he will die if you're not wed...I didn't think that part to be true. But I can see it is" he continues.
I hold daemon to me "it's going to be okay daemon. Okay? We're going to be wed and you won't hurt anymore" stroking his hair and he looks at me "good. I can't wait to be your husband" I smile and kiss his forehead "and I can't wait to be your wife" he stands and pulls me up with him "call everyone for the wedding. It shall be a big ordeal right?" Viserys nods "it will be"
