everyone was pledging their allegiance to princess rhaenyra as the heir this particular morning in westeros.
that meant saphrona's nephew would be in town which was exciting for her, he was a good boy of only 18.
most of everyone would stay in the capital until that weekend, which would be the day of lady saphrona arryn and lord killian baratheon. it was supposed to be the event of the year for the seven kingdoms.
saphrona woke up, dressed, and made her way to rhaenyra's room. alicent had beaten her there, of course.
"are you ready to become future queen today?" saphrona smiled as rhaenyra sat in front of her to have her hair done. few people could braid as good as saph.
rhaenyra smirked, "as ready as i'll ever be. i'm just glad my father chose me for the job." it was a big responsibility, but the fact that viserys believed rhaenyra could handle it meant a lot to her.
soon, rhaenyra was ready and it was time to head to the throne room for the ceremony. saph hurried to the throne room, ahead of them to get to her spot next to her nephew.
rhaenyra made her grand entrance and everyone bowed, and then people began to devote their allegiance to her one by one.
saphrona was bored out of her mind, royal events like these were just for show and she really had no idea why she had to participate. no one wanted her to pledge her allegiance because she was a woman and the daughter of a whore.
she was happy to be there for rhaenyra's sake, but it just seemed a little much to her. after an hour, the ceremony was finished.
she bid her nephew goodbye and ran off to her room for a nap. she was practically nodding off back there in the throne room.
saphrona entered her room to see a certain white haired prince looking through her book she had on her nightstand. "what are you doing here?" she asked, rolling her eyes at the persistent prince.
daemon turned and smiled at her. "i'm here to give you one last chance at redemption, i know you get married in five days time and i'm here to offer you an escape. with me." he gathered her into his strong arms and smiled down at her.
she pulled herself away from him, looking at him in disgust. "you are such a self centered and selfish man daemon. after the things you have said about my family, you expect me to want to be with you? i love killian! i do not want to escape to be a rogue prince's mistress, i want to be killian baratheon's wife! i wouldn't have said yes if i didn't want to."
the blonde man eyed the woman he loved. "you really love him? he will never be able to do the things to you that i do." he sneered.
saphrona scoffed, "so he won't be able to make me angry and hurt my feelings? great! i'd hope not! get the fuck out of my room daemon. until you grow up and get ahold of yourself, leave me the hell alone."
