Nine; Sweet Letters

≪ °❈° ≫

Dear Naeresys,

I know that you are still mad at me for what happened on Driftmark, and I apologize for what went on.

I never meant to hurt you. I only tried to help Baela and Rhaena since Vhagar was their mother's dragon.

And don't worry. I know that dragons are not like inheritances; you can not just believe you'll get a dragon just because it was in your family.

I hope to hear from you,

Your betrothed, Jacaerys Velaryon

Dear Jacaerys,

I hope you can forgive me when you read this letter.

By the time this reaches you, you would've heard of the punishment your brother, Lucerys, will endure for what he has done.

I will not lie to you and say I did not influence the decision; I asked my father for such punishment.

Do not get me wrong, your brother is a sweet boy and a gentle soul, but what he did is not something that could've gone unpunished.

I hope you find it in your heart that I have prevented years of pain with this.

With love, Naeresys Targaryen.

I will not lie. I was shocked when I heard my brother would leave for the North on the morrow. I do not know how long he will be gone, but I hope you are right.

I hope that with this, you have indeed prevented years of pain. My mother cried when she heard of the punishment and was furious when she heard it was from you.

She threatened to annulate our betrothal and have me betrothed to Baela. I put an end to that with the help of Daemon.

He's not as bad as I thought he'd be. He is not what we would call a great father, but he is what I would call someone who cares.

I want to see you, I do not know why, but I do.

I think I miss you. Your face, your smile. I miss our talks. I've been reminiscing about the last time we were together before Baela woke me up.

We had an excellent talk about our wedding; I wish to do that again.

With love, Jacaerys

My dear Jacaerys,

I am not sure if you'll ever receive this letter. You and I were meant to get married a moon ago, but your mother has not replied to our letters.

I miss you too; I miss our talks and how you blush.

I hope you are arguing with your mother about this, and I've been trying to talk with the King, but it is no veil.

Write back if you can, Naeresys.

I've sent another letter to Rhaenyra, asking about our wedding.

I've heard that Lucerys is back and well. I'm happy. I hope the North did not hurt him much.

I take it by the lack of response that you are not getting my letters, and I'm sorry. I only wished for the dept to be paid.

I beg, try to write back.

With love, Naeresys

°❈°

I'm writing this letter even though my father said it wouldn't change the fact that you might not answer.

I think Rhaenyra is receiving the letters and not allowing you to answer.

I had a big fight with Aemond and realized I want to marry you, not because of our Houses but because I like you.

I like your smile and your laugh and how you make me blush, I miss kissing your forehead and cheek, and I miss you and me, playing around the Keep.

If you do not write back, I'll fly to Dragonstone and talk with Rhaenyra.

My mother has suggested multiple times that I be married to Aemond, but my father and I have dismissed the talk.

With regards, Naeresys.
