The Red Keep, King's Landing

110 AC

Daemon made his courting of her obvious, which made all the other lordlings back off. 

His courting gifts were varied. Not the useless baubles the lordlings had given her.

Laela refused to admit she was touched that he had apparently done some digging of what she enjoyed as presents.

A necklace made of Valyrian steel, decorated with amethysts he had won in Voltanis.

A rare book in High Valyrian about all of the legends of the world.

A silver ring set with a sapphire cut in the same of a star from Lys.

A large sketchbook made in Myr with pencils made in Myr. 

An intricately detailed model of Silverwing created in Tyrosh.

A book about aquatic life and the seas of the Known World he had purchased in the Summer Isles.

He also spent time with her. Frostiness turned into friendship as they grew closer as the wedding approached.

Three days before their wedding, she kissed him.

That is today's chapter. I hope you all enjoyed it.
