"THERE YOU ARE, I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU." Rhaenyra says as she approaches Lucerys who seemed to have a small frown upon his face as he stares down at the mapped table.
"The sea snake is going to die, isn't he?" Questions Lucerys as he watches his mother look at him with sheer curiosity as she stroked her bump lovingly.
"Luke," she sighs before he cut her off. "–I can't be Lord of the Tides! Grandsire was the greatest sailor who ever lived. I get sea sick before the ship even leaves the harbour, I'll just ruin everything, I don't want Driftmark it should have passed on to Ser Vaemond." He explains.
"We don't choose our destiny, Luke, it chooses us." She says as he stares at her.
"Grandsire let you choose wether you'd be his heir, you told us so." He said with a small shake of his head looking defeated.
Rhaenyra was quiet for a moment before she circled around to meet her child who looked so lost, something she hadn't seen in a long time, she'd seen the same look upon herself so long ago. "–And...want to know the truth of it?" She leans on the stone table, "I was frightened. I was four and ten same as you are now, I wasn't ready to be Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, but it was my duty and in time I came to understand I had to earn my inheritance." She explains and watches his face change slightly before a small cloud casted over him.
"I am not like you," he mutters looking away.
"In what way, sweet boy?" She questions, with a small smile upon her face.
"I'm not so....perfect." He breaths the word out, looking at his mother with his doe like eyes that were filled with unshed tears.
She reaches out and grabs onto him gently, bumping her nose softly with his, kissing his cheek. "I am anything but perfect, my father looked after me, helped prepare me for my duties, your mother will do the same for you." She says her violet eyes looking into his chocolate coloured ones, she earned a small smile from him.
The peaceful and understanding silence in the air between the two once Luke asked his mother a question. "Mother, could I ask you a question?"
"Of course, sweet boy." She says pulling away slightly, but keeping level eye contact with him.
Luke takes a deep breath, "why were the greens so infatuated with you at our stay in Kings Landing?" Rhaenyra paused and stared at him, her mouth suddenly went dry. "Last time we were there they were against you, but during our stay to keep my claim, they were always around you. They seemed protective of you, and always kept their eyes on you, like at that time when Daemon got worried and you walked into the chambers, Aegon brushed his hand down your side...I know it isn't any of my business, but I just don't want to see you get hurt." He mumbles the last part.
"They just wanted to apologise for everything, nothing to worry about, sweetling." She says with a strained smile, "they would never hurt me, I promise."
"Alright," he says nodding his head feeling as though there was something she was not telling him. But he completely let it go and leave it at that. "As long as you are fine," he says double checking watching as she chuckles softly.
"I am doing alright, my sweetling," she gave him a small reassuring smile. "I just miss them is all," she shrugs.
He was shocked.
Daemon had told he and Jace that they were brainwashing their mother, but it doesn't look like it. Their mother was with them really on her own accord; it seemed as though she was the one putting them all together as their Uncles were fine to them up until dinner. Lucerys knew Daemon was obsessed and possessive over his mother, but that doesn't mean he could have her all to himself.
He was happy that they watched over her and took care of her while they were at Kings Landing, he didn't miss the little dazed look his mother had on her face, and he certainly didn't miss the small frown of longing, he just wants his mother to finally be happy. It is what she deserves after all she has been through, she deserved to take a break from it all and be taken care of by family.
Lucerys vowed that he would always be by his mothers side no matter what she chose to do. He would always be her sweet boy and stand by her when she made decisions; he didn't care if they were wrong or bad decisions, he would always be there. That was a promise that he would forever keep.
