Perfection was an illusion and Blyana Hightower had her own demons she was struggling with when she arrived at the capital. She felt broken from her past and didnt want to be defined by her diagnosis. Perhpas a man deemed as broken could be the one...
Family supper was awkward. Blyana knew that Larys and his brother and father were not close but her and Otto were. Then Alicent and Viserys were there and Aegon, such a big kid he was at Seven years old. Helaena was already running to the balcony asking 'auntie what flower is this?' Blyana loved That helaena got her love of nature.
"So lady Blyana I feel like I dont know all the much about you expect Larys is completely enthralled with you." Lyonel remarked.
"Blyana is fine. We are family after all." Blyana reminded him.
"What is there to know about you Blyana?" Lyonel offered.
"Im..." she thought on that. "Im nothing special." She decided.
"Thats not true." Larys corrected immediately. "Blyana is brilliant. She reads a book a day-"
"Not since meeting you." Blyana cut in. Otto loved how big her smile was as she looked to larys. "You take up all my time."
"And I wont apologize for it." Larys agreed taking her hand in his and giving it a kiss.
"I want you taking up all my time." Blyana assured.
"She even competes with my own Botanist expertise." Larys went on. "And she is amazing with her graces children. They adore her."
"They do." Alicent agreed. "Love their Auntie Bly." Alicent smiled back at Blyana and saw the love radiating off of her.
"Larys spent a lot of time in the gardens reading when he was younger." Lyonel informed her.
"As did Blyana." Otto agreed.
"We were discussing books in the gardens before our wedding," Blyana remarked. "We were comparing our field notes on different species of plants." Larys nodded in agreement. "Larys will have to show you, mine look awful in comparison." Blyana laughed out as she thought back to her plant book.
"They do not." Larys assured.
"We took flowers and smashed them between the pages, to preserve them." Blyana informed a confused group around them.
"But Blyana kept peeking." Larys added in.
"I was so excited to see it and I messed it up." Blyana agreed but her lips contained a smile. "Lucky for me larys is patient."
"My Blyana is not patient." Otto agreed.
"I was patient with you when you took your sweet time getting here for the wedding. I was patient with-" Larys when I wanted to fuck him and he said the wait would be worth it, it was. But that wasnt proper table talk.
"I can be patient but I just wanted to see it." Blyana whispered. "Like I said Larys' look great. He will have to show you his impressions they are beautiful."
"Excited about flowers..." Harwin chuckled. "So I suppose this means that the honeymoon phase over?" Harwin pondered still amazed that larys somehow managed to trap a woman like Blyana- to trick her into believing she was in love. But it was not a trick, Blyana loved Larys.
"I mean... I wouldnt say that." Blyana corrected her gaze shifting to Larys with a smile and a wink.

Larys reached over grabbing her hand.
"I hope the honeymoon period never ends." Blyana remarked.
"Thats a lovely thought." Viserys agreed. "You two must be working on an heir."
"I want children." Blyana agreed. "I love Alis kids so much I cant wait to have my own. But I dont consider them heirs..." blyana remarked meeting Viserys gaze.
"Because larys is a second son." Harwin cut in as though they forgot.
"No. I mean yes he is." Blyana offered awkwardly. "But children shouldnt be created born with a weight of the future on them already. Gods bless we will have many children." She leaned over kissing Larys cheek. "I do hope Aegon doesnt feel that sort of pressure being a prince." She added looking to Viserys. He swallowed the lump in his throat as he looked to empty glass.
"Now if you will excuse us it has been a long night." Blyana remarked. "And as the king said, we have yet to conceive a child. Lets go honey."
"Yes." Larys agreed jumping up.
"Have a lovely evening." Blyana added sweetly. "Goodnight father, Ali." She whispered kissing their cheeks before moving to Larys.
"If I could marry you again I would." Larys decided as they headed to their chambers.
"Well we can redo our wedding night." Blyana offered pulling him in for a kiss.
