"I always keep my promises."

(Age 19)

The Bridgertons plus Daemerys walked into the ball that night. Violet was nervous, she had hoped that news of Daemerys punching her brother hadn't reached the ton. Daemerys strolled into the ball in her red dress making her way towards the punch fountain.

"No one is going to talk about what happened earlier, you don't have to worry about it." Simon said as she nodded. "How's your hand?" He asked. "Fine just a little sprained." She said as he nodded. "I need a favor." She stated as he glanced at her. "Yes?" He asked facing the dancers. "When I do get married, walk me down the aisle?" She asked as he smirked. "Are you Daemerys Stormborn Targaryen asking me to walk you down the aisle?" He asked raising his eyebrows. "Just a thought." She said taking a sip of her punch. "Ok." He said. "You mean it?" She asked. "I do." He said. "Good." She said sighing. "Oh Jesus." She said looking at Daemon. There he was, ladies surrounding him again. "Tackless mamas." Simon said under his breath. "I'll go save him." Daemerys said setting her glass down. "Good, he looks- frustrated." Simon said as she winked at him before walking off.

"I'm sorry can i just scoot by?" Daemerys asked brushing past people. "Thank you, thank you, well aren't you a peach." She said coming face to face with him. "Hello darling." Daemon said kissing her cheek. "Hey." She said standing next to him. "Might I narrow him ladies?" She asked the debutants. "Thank you." She a said walking away with him. "Seven hells I feel bad for you." She said chuckling. "Those woman are insufferable." He stated. "Your hand." He said looking at her right hand. "Oh that." She said as he picked up her hand. "What the fuck did you do?" He asked. "I punched my brother." She said shrugging. "He had it coming." She said. "Aren't you going to question me why?" She asked as he smirked. "I don't have to, I know you well enough to know that you had your reasons." He stated as she nodded.

They both stood in the corner of the room, staring at everybody. Simply not uttering a word to each-other. Daemerys mind was else were. There were so many things she could've thought about, but instead she asked this.

"Do you truly love me? Or is this just a charade?" She asked suddenly. "I need to know if we are to continue with this." She stated as he stood silent. "I told you father." He said as she looked down. "So it was out of duty then, you asked him out of duty. Didn't you?" She asked in a serious tone as silence took over. "Ok then." She said turning around not to face him. "So we'll treat it like that, a duty." She stated. "I need to make my rounds." She said taking a deep breath. "Excuse me." She said walking away.

Daemerys walked away putting on a smile. She saw Simon out of the corner of her eye. They each took a quick glance at each-other. He knew something had just happened after she walked to the doors quietly slipping out.

"Is the little princess sad?" Viserys asked tauntingly. "Go away, Viserys." She said breathing over the railing. "What happened?" He asked coming up behind her as she started breathing harder. "You know you could join me." He said trying to inch closer to her face. "You'd have to kill me to make me join you." She breathed out. "Kill you? I need you." He said breathing down her neck. "You need someone who will help you. You have no one." She said gripping her necklace. "You sold me, you own sister." She said turning to face him. "Your own blood, over a crown." She stated. "You threatened to kill me and my baby over that stupid crown." She stated as fury began to arise from him. "Everything you've done is for a crown that doesn't belong to you." She said looking him up and down. "Mom would be ashamed of you." She spat.

Viserys looked furious by her words. He'd look like he would've killed her right then and there.

"And the worst part of it all." She started to say. "Is that I'm not suprised." She stated. "You were always out for self." She said turning away from him upset. "At least I didn't kill my husband and their baby." He said loudly as she shook her head. "Wow, that's low even for you." She said clenching her teeth. "You're nothing but a killer, a murderer and frankly a slut." He said crossing his arms.

Daemerys looked like she was ready to pounce on him. Again. She closed her eyes trying to drown out everything he was saying but all she heard was, murderer. Murderer. Murderer.

"Cat got your tongue?" He asked tilting his head. "I want you out of here, out of London, out of England and out of my life, for once and for all." She stated holding in her tears. "And I want my crown." He stated. "It melted on you, remember?" She asked. "They still think you're dead. You have no power, here. Leave, now. Before you never leave." She said threateningly. "Is that a threat, sister?" He asked. "It's a promise." She said.

"And I always keep my promises."
