i have lost my peace

Baelon Targaryen, known as Baelon the Brave, was a man of fierce determination and an unwavering will. He was a warrior at heart, known for his ruthlessness in battle and his stern demeanor. The world saw him as an unyielding force, but within the confines of the Targaryen family, his true nature was a stark contrast when it came to his sister-wife, Naerys.

Naerys Targaryen was the epitome of a gentle soul. She was grumpy and often disgruntled by the chaos that surrounded her, preferring the calm and serenity of quiet moments. Her marriage to Baelon was not of her choosing, yet it was a match that had been made for political reasons, as was the tradition among the Targaryens.

Their relationship was a paradox. While Baelon was an asshole to the world, he transformed into a devoted, almost dog-like companion when it came to Naerys. His obsession with her was overwhelming, and he never hesitated to shower her with affection, much to her exasperation and, secretly, her hidden delight.

The Targaryen household was a lively one, filled with many siblings and complex dynamics. King Jaehaerys and Queen Alysanne watched with amusement and concern as their children navigated their relationships. Baelon's behavior towards Naerys was a source of endless fascination.

Jaehaerys often chuckled at the sight of his once fierce son transforming into a lovesick puppy around Naerys. "He's utterly smitten," he would remark, shaking his head in disbelief.

Alysanne, however, shared Naerys's concerns. "It's not healthy for him to be so possessive," she would tell Jaehaerys. "Naerys needs space and time with her children."

Their children, Viserys and Daemon, were caught in the middle. Viserys, the elder, found his father's behavior amusing. He often observed with a smirk as Baelon hovered around Naerys, constantly demanding her attention. Daemon, on the other hand, was less tolerant. He resented the way Baelon monopolized their mother's time, often leading to clashes with his father.

Baelon's obsession with Naerys knew no bounds. He would follow her around the Red Keep, constantly seeking her approval and affection. His need for her attention was so intense that he rarely allowed her to spend time with their sons, much to Naerys's frustration.

"Baelon, the boys need their mother," Naerys would argue, trying to pry herself away from his possessive grip.

"They have you when I'm not around," Baelon would reply, his eyes dark with an emotion that bordered on madness. "But right now, I need you more."

Naerys would sigh, exasperated but secretly touched by his devotion. It was a strange feeling, to be so loved and yet so confined by that love.

Viserys and Daemon had vastly different reactions to their father's behavior. Viserys, ever the observer, found amusement in the situation. He would often chuckle as Baelon doted on Naerys, seeing the irony in his father's transformation from a fearsome warrior to a lovesick husband.

Daemon, however, was less forgiving. He was fiercely protective of his mother and resented Baelon's constant interference. The young prince often found himself at odds with his father, feeling that Baelon's obsession was robbing him of precious moments with Naerys.

One evening, after a particularly heated argument, Daemon confronted Baelon in the presence of their family. "You're a loser," Daemon spat, his eyes blazing with anger. "You care more about monopolizing Mother's time than you do about us."

Baelon, unfazed by his son's outburst, merely flipped him off with a smirk. The sight of the proud warrior making such a crude gesture shocked the room into silence, especially Alysanne, who gasped in horror.
