He has been . . . I hate to think it but . . . I worry it is his anger that has gotten us into this terrible position. He will not speak of what exactly happened to Lucerys Velaryon, but . . . I know dragons feel what their rider feels. The bond goes deep.

the king has a son , so what would be the idea of taking it ? I have nothing to gain from a war princess . I can ensure you that nothing is going to happen .

unlike some of the royals . i to have people that would want the same help .
he has been rather angry as of late . anyone that has tried to reason with him tends to get shut down rather quickly .

Thank you, truly. Your support means much.
Aemond and I have been fighting since we were children. I simply pray he will hear me out before he condemns my ideas.

as you very will should dear princess . I apologise for my words and didn’t mean any harm towards you . it was just something that had caught my interest .
⠀
you *are trying to pry into royal affairs though. and no nerve was struck, rest assured. I support the king and queen wholeheartedly and I shan't say treasonous words against them — as you should learn.

We can offer them shelter, support, maesters to help heal. We need not abandon them for their fates. If we are to be worthy of this crown, we must prove we care for the people.

Jaehaerys will be the first of many if this war continues, only the children who die will not have their names remembered, grand funerals to remind the world of why we lost them. It will be the children of the smallfolk, the +

that isn’t something you can truly believe . he chose someone close to you after getting what he wanted anyway ? he even chose some as young as you … you must understand why me and my house are sceptical when speaking in such topics .
