King Viserys I Targaryen's Chambers: 3 Months later

Viserys woke up with a smile on his face, for in a few days, he was to be married to Annora Hightower. While his Hand was still holding his position, he would not be after the wedding. He had promised Annora to not let a scandal negatively affect their wedding day. 

So with his promise in mind, he got out of bed and made his way to his study so that he may put together a letter to his brother, as he had forgotten to do so, to invite him to his wedding and to stay in Kings Landing if he so wished to. Also, he had a gift for Daemon. He has been asked more times than he could remember to count by Daemon for an annulment from his marriage to his 'bronze bitch' otherwise known as Lady Rhea Royce.

Since getting closer to his love, Annora, he shared everything he's ever gone through or felt regarding his little brother, and afterward, his soon-to-be wife pointed out how Daemon must feel for being chained to a wife that had been forced on him and has never, not once, consummated that marriage. 

With the description of how Daemon must feel on the daily being thrown right into his face by his love, he decided that he could no longer ignore Daemon's unhappiness. He would annul Daemon's marriage to Rhea Royce the moment he stepped foot into the Red Keep.

With that in mind, he sat at his table and started writing said letter.

Daemon,

I am writing to you now with urgent news and an action that should've been completed ages ago. Firstly, I beg you for forgiveness. I have just recently learned that your hateful words against my Lord Hand were true. My soon-to-be wife is the eldest daughter of Otto Hightower. 

While getting to know her and slowly falling in love with her, she admitted to me the traitorous actions committed by my Hand. While you may be wondering why my beloved would turn against her father, that is because (as I was told) he longs for power more than he cares any, if not at all, of his daughters. 

My betrothed's name is Lady Annora Hightower, and after we marry, I have promised that I will keep her little sister, Lady Alicent Hightower, here in the Red Keep where she will be free of any manipulation that may come from the Head of House Hightower. It helps that Lady Alicent is a close friend of Rhaenyra. 

In addition, as I told my intended of my life and got into the subject of you, my little brother, I was scolded and heavily laid into by my beloved regarding my dismissal of your pleas to annul your marriage to Lady Rhea Royce. 

Afterward, I promised to invite you back here, our home, with the promise of annulling your marriage and to beg for your forgiveness as I have been very tough on you because of the words whispered in my ear by my Lord Hand. I cannot express enough how deeply sorry I am for pushing you away.

Please, come home. Rhaenyra and I need our family. And, I would like to invite you properly to my wedding with Lady Annora Hightower. I believe that you may like her. She's full of fire and cares not for the whispered words of my Lord Hand. I will be deciding his punishment after my wedding, as Annora does not want to ruin our day. I'm secretly happy that she requested such because I would like you, my beloved brother, to be by my side during such a trial.
