Rage boils deep within my veins, the bubbles extremely close to spilling over. My uncle always said me and his daughter Rhaenyra share the blood of the dragon, especially the hot temperament, though he underestimated just how ferocious you can get, even as a child.
Much like now, wildfire blazing within my eyes, blood spilling into my mouth from grinding my teeth. It takes every ounce of strength to not erupt, destroy anything in my path and embarrass your uncle further.
- Are you even listening to me?! - Viserys yells from the throne, his voice echoing down the great hall for all to hear.
No, you're not listening to him, too busy trying to direct your anger elsewhere, direct it at someone else - is that all, your grace? - i asked. Viserys sighs exasperatedly, gesturing for my dismissal. Without hesitation i spin on my heel, marching my way out of the Keep, away from prying eyes. I was my dragon Sylvarion, sitting atop the hill, climbing him i told him to fly as high as he could, then i might have accidentally burned down a small village.
- i was expecting you to climb atop your dragon and burn King's Landing to the ground, - the knight muses from behind me, making himself known and slowly approaching me.
- it was not King's Landing but i small village - i answered nonchalantly. I squeeze my eyes shut, wishing him away and hoping to awaken from this nightmare. I hear the debris snap under his weight with each step closer, reigniting my hatred. - you best believe l'd burn you first, you fucking snitch. - I seethe.
- Princess - he starts, daring to place his foot down and inch himself closer. - Daena i didn't - he whispered, locking his eyes with mine, - I'd stand down and leave me be. - i said coldly.
Harwin swallows thickly, an inkling of fear rolling down his spine. - It wasn't me my love - he starts off carefully, deciding to keep his distance. - I never told anyone, certainly not your father or mine.
- do not call me that - i snarled at him. - if you didn't know my dragon can feel my emotions, Ser. He will not hesitate to burn you alive.
- Daena i swear to the seven, it was not me - he said, his voice merely a whispered, but i did heard him.
- Liar, - I approach him with purpose, resting the point of the blade on his knitted tunic. - You have the most to gain by staying on his good side, being rewarded with his favour; Commander of the Gold Cloaks. - He holds your eye, his fingers twitching.
- Princess, - he tries again.
- Breakbones. - i answer him, mocking his tone. His jaw flexes. I've struck a nerve, a nerve i love to hit.
- Don't, - he warns.
- Go guard your honourable princess, and leave me alone. I'm in no tolerable mood. - indicate my younger sister, Rhaenyra.
Harwin breathes steadily through his nose, ignoring the fact that you're trying to get under his skin, to piss him off like you are. - Daena i did not do it. I never told anyone - he said, stepping dangerously close to me, spatting these words with the harsh tone of his. I looked away from his face.
- watch yourself, Ser Harwin, I'm still your princess, no matter how much you hate it. - i told him, looking him straight in the eyes. Regret flashes in his eyes before it's gone.
- Then let's see what you've learnt - Harwin draws his sword, knowing damn well he could be executed for doing so. But at this moment, you're both too wound up to differentiate between what's right and wrong. A habit, of the both of you.
I flinch at the large sword, deep down knowing Harwin would never jeopardise me, never put me in harm's way or risk hurting me. I push the sword away, moving around and keeping my footwork light, smirking.
- Is something funny? - Harwin raises an unimpressed brow, his eyes never leaving mine.
I bite back a smile at his clear agitation. - No - i answered.
- tell me, Princess - he starts, a loud ringing vibrating into the area as swords clash. - Has your father taught you hand-to-hand combat, or how to escape someone's grip? - he asked.
