The queens ailes brought miguel into the castle.

"Did you bring it?"

"Right here. I can make it into a tea if-"

"That will be all boy." The man snatched the daisy petals from him. "My queen i have a solution for your bowels."

Daisy is a flower for healing and strength that can be used to cure ailments of the digestive tract like diarrhea and constipation.

Miguel felt like a maester today

A tonic made from sunflower helps to ease menstrual cramps. It also helps relieve ulcers. If you have a sore throat, you can infuse water and- he was always silenced. They wanted his knowledge without his knowledge. The wanted the flowers and the credit it brought them.

Miguel twirled the sunflower in his fingers as he moved through the castle. He hoped to see alicent but she must have been at lessons. He slowed passing the library. Peering in he saw her flaming hair as she was hunched over a book. He wished to go in but there were too many eyes. He cleared his throat she didnt hear him. He cleared his throat louder. Still nothing

"Psssst!" Miguel hissed. He got a strange look from a septa as he coughed out turning his cheek.

"Whats your business here?"

That got Alicents attention she turned her head smiling at the sight of him.

"Just... um... in the neighborhood." Miguel offered. Yep that was smooth. He twirled the sunflower looking past the septa to alicent, who was trying to hold back her laughter.

"I was just going."

"See that you make haste." The setpa agreed. Miguel nodded as she left. Miguel put the flower down on the ledge. Alicent smiled running to grab it when the septa wasnt looking. She put the flower before her book smiling at it between every sentence.

Miguel moved to the knights next.

jasmine soothes stiff muscles and relieves body aches and cramps.

"I dont have fucking cramps."

"Im not saying you do." Miguel assured "its just another remedy... for your stiff shoulder after your joust..." he declared.

Miguel thought he was done when he was summoned once more.

These people just couldnt get enough of him. Thought he owed them everything. The only person that didnt want something from him was the woman he couldnt seem to get a moment alone with.

"Boy!"

An old white woman always barked at him. Miguel forced a smile turning to her. It was always the old white women that thought they deserved everything especially from people like him. Lower class and different from them.

The hibiscus flower while is full of amino acids, antioxidants, hasnt been proven to reverse the aging process like she believed it to be. A magic anti-aging flower to make her beautiful again. Miguel didnt know that she ever was. But he was in a good mood because after his rounds he was going to find alicent.

"Boring book?"

"Miguel!" Alicent declared.

"Hush im trying not to get caught by that nosey septa!" Miguel countered. She quieted and leaned forward across the table. "I have missed you all day," he smiled down at the flower. " I'm glad you like it "

"who says I like it? "

"Well I would say the fact that you ran to get my sunflower after I left would be a good indication that you do like my gift " he remarked

" You're right I do love it so sweet. You picked it just for me."

" I wish I could get you something sparkly and shiny." Miguel admitted.

" this is even more perfect because each time you give me a new flower, I can save it and treasure it and remember the day and the moment and the feeling I felt when I held it in my hands."

" do you press your flowers? "

" I started to the moment you started giving me flowers." she agreed.  " so I can savor the moment and the memory."

He didn't realize that something so simple would mean so much to her, but he was thoroughly gladdened by the notion that something that meant so much to him, and his work was valued by her. His one True desire.

" then I shall bring you flowers multiple times a day whenever I can whenever I see you, I shall give you a flower."

"I will have to get more books then." She agreed.

True to his word, he started leaving her flowers at her doorstep at her home at her table she like to study at her lessons and all of her usual haunts. She found freshly cut flowers waiting for her. 

Sometimes he watched like a bit of a creeper, but he wanted to know if she liked it, which was her favorite out of all of them and each time she would pick up a flower breathe, and it sent smiling for holding it close to her chest .
