Chpt 6:Wedding Bells

I stood frozen in shock. A million thought flooded my head yet, it felt as if my brain was also numb.

"You want me to marry Prince Daemon?"

"Yes... And my council agrees we think this would be the wisest decision" Viserys said. "What... Why... What did my father say?" is all i could get out.

"I've informed your father about the situation... He seems more than enthusiastic for this betrothal" he said. I shook my head as my mouth fell open.

Before i could say anything else, Prince Daemon came into the room. "What's this about then?" he asked unenthusiastically. "Brother... We need to talk to you about something."

Daemon smirked as he looked between both of us. "Have you finally decided to hang the family then?" he questioned.

We both stayed silent as Daemons smile faded. "Okay what's happening?" he asked once again. Viserys sighed.

"Brother, you know how highly i think of you... And how i only want the best for you... That's why i've come to the decision that you must wed as soon as possible."

Daemon scoffed. "Jesus brother you really have lost your mind. Who's the dog your planning on for me to marry then?" he asked with laughter.

Viserys eyes drifted from Daemon to me as i looked at the ground. Daemons laughter got quieter and quieter. "You must be joking... I refuse!" Daemon exclaimed.

"Remember who you are speaking to Daemon. I am not just your brother, i am the king and your king demands you to marry The Lady Azalea Hightower."

"I refuse to have my kin be birthed by some common whores daughter! Let alone a traitor!" he shouted. "Excuse me?" i said angrily as i turned to him.

"Stay out of this!" he exclaimed. "Daemon! I am sick and tired of your unruly behaviour! There is only so many excuse i can make for you to the council. You will marry. And it will be to Miss Azalea. I will hear no more of it. That will be all. Now leave, the both of you" Viserys spat.

I walked quickly out of the room as Daemon followed. As i was about to run up the stairs until Daemon suddenly grabbed my arm and tugged me towards him.

"I don't know what sort of ideas your father put in my brothers head, but i will not marry you. I'd rather be sent to the wall for christs sake!" he shouted.

"Do you really think i want to marry you? I never wanted for this to happen" i said. "Sure... So you and your bastard family just happen to arrive back in the kingdom and within days Viserys demands for me to marry you. I will not be played for a fool unlike him" he said as he gripped onto my arm tighter

"Let go off me!" i shouted as i pulled away from him. "I would like nothing more than for this wedding to be dissolved. But your brother is the king. And i... I'm just a woman. So if you hate me so much then you persuade him. You have my full support" i said as i ran up the stairs.

I heard Daemon mumble to himself but i ignored him. I had to ask my father for myself. I know he would never do this. He would never betray my trust. He would never wed me to such a monster.

I stormed into his chambers without knocking. He put down the book he was reading and gave me a worried look. "Tell me now" i demanded.

"Tell you what?" he asked. "Tell me that you had no part in this betrothal!" i exclaimed. He hung his head and sighed.

"So you did know? You knew and you thought i shouldn't know about my own wedding?" i questioned in disbelief.

"This was the best decision, Zaels. It brings peace between our families. We shall be whole. We shall be safe" he said. "Then why didn't you wed Florian to Princess Rhaenyra?!" i shouted.
