The Love Of Dragons || Daemon Targaryen

XI. The Dornish Princess

AIMEE KNOCKED ON PRINCE DAERON'S DOOR.

Daeron opens it as he smiles, "please come in."

Aimee enters as he closes it, "so... What did you find out?"

Aimee smiles as she sits down, "well for one Lord Alexander... Likes me a lot."

Daeron rolls his eyes smiling at that, "about the whole reason we are here, Aimee, focus."

Aimee straightens up, "right, sorry, um..." She thought about it for a second, should she break Alexander's trust like this?

But she is loyal to Daeron, he is like a brother to her, and if anything were to happen just because she didn't act on the information she was given...

"Princess Raewyn and her husband Daemon hired Blood and Cheese to murder former Queen Helaena's child in front of her which in turn caused her to kill herself."

Daeron stiffened before nodding, "okay..."

RAEWYN GOT READY FOR BED as Daemon rocked Asher in the background, "today went well..."

"Yes, I'm glad it didn't turn sour," Daemon says.

Rae sighs, "it hurt every time anyone mentioned... Well..."

"Alicent?" Daemon asked.

Raewyn nods.

Daemon walked over to her, "you haven't spoken of Alicent since you caused her death."

"Well..." Raewyn looked down, "you haven't talked of Helaena since her death but recently I heard you spoke of her."

"Rhaenyra told you."

"She's my best friend."

Daemon nods.

"Do you..." Raewyn trails off realizing her question was well... A bad question, "nevermind."

"No, what is it?" Daemon asked putting Asher in the nearby cradle before taking her hand.

Raewyn sighs, "I... I don't know Daemon."

Daemon gives her a look, "come on, it's me, I won't ever judge you."

Raewyn smiles and nods before taking a deep breath, "do you regret it?"

Daemon looks down, "Rae..."

"Please, just be honest, I would never judge you either."

He knew that wasn't exactly true but didn't call her out on it as he cupped her face, "I never regretted what I did because I avenged our children."

Daemon then walked back over to Asher as Raewyn stirred on that.

"AND HE JUST SAID HE NEVER REGRETTED IT?" Rhaenyra asked.

Raewyn nods, it was the next day and they were talking, "I wanted to ask is that what Adya would have wanted? Is that what Ariella would have wanted?"

Rhaenyra looks at her with sympathy, "did you ask him that?"

Raewyn shook her head, "I was too much of a craven."

"Don't say that," Rhaenyra took her hand.

Rae smiles at her, "thank you... I don't know how I could get through all of this without you, Nyra."

"Of course, Rae."

DAERON WAITED IN THE GARDENS UNTIL HE SAW RAEWYN PASSING BY, "excuse me, Princess?"
