I returned to the keep today. I feel mocked and laughed at by my brother. He still takes me a fool. Rhaenyra, though, is more gorgeous than ever. A sight of pure perfection. I will have her.

She's older now. Matured. She wore the necklace I gifted her. It made me so happy to see it perched above her breast. The gods made her an image of them. Perfect.

I wish I could have taken her then in the gods woods with all the eyes watching us. To show everyone I want her.

I can't do that now. I had to speak with Viserys about my reward. I swore feilty and he will feel obligated to give me whatever I ask for.

I spoke to the king about taking Rhaenyra to be my wife and I feel he takes my threat to steal her away to heart. Now I wait.

He was not too impressed with the thought. He brought up Rhea and my dis loyalties. What does he know. I'll be heading back to the courtyard soon. I do hope the Princess will be there to entertain me. Would be a nice change from the fools I've been speaking to.

The council meeting was not a surprise to listen too. They all think I am a fool. I am a fool, but only for her. Rhaenyra. My niece. My heard. Gods little dragon I hope you feel for me as I feel for you my sweet, beautiful, maturing girl.
