@geviezaldrizes Wise, beyond your years, you get that from her, you know, and your mother gets it from her mother, a trait well passed down. A trait that is needed in this time to see ahead and beyond what people say with words, it is how I have survived this family and this kingdoms lords.

I may not get through to him, but perhaps I can try atleast.
If I can save one person in this family. He is my son's child after all, and I cannot bare to lose the last piece of him here on this earth.
Perhaps you will let me speak to the boy. You have wisdom such as myself, but you are his mother and all your children, even grandchildren. You don't often heed the advice of a parental figure...

“That is.. precisely what I fear the most, Rhaenys. Jacaerys 𝐚𝐧𝐝 Lucerys have both brushed paths with the stranger once too many.

I do understand, but without those that I hold —
@geviezaldrizes Hate her, you think they hate? Oh my dear, if that is so simple, they use hate to disguise the truth... 𝙛𝙚𝙖𝙧.
They fear her they fear any woman put upon the damn thing and wonder what might happen... they fear what they cannot control, ~
@geviezaldrizes I do not know this time, child. I warned your mother as a girl, they would sooner see the land burn than to ever have a woman sit upon that throne... it is a shame my words have come to pass... You and your siblings must try to protect one another a throne is a throne ~
Rhanerya, I hear your boys are eager to join the war for duty, but you must remember that even for yourself, duty can only get you so far. If you've no family left, then there is nothing but a throne made of sharpened weapons to offer its callousness in the midst of the silence ~
@geviezaldrizes Your mother is doing something no one should have to. However, unfortunately, it is the way of the world. I know the feeling, but I made peace with it. After a time. I do not think my children would have benefited from a fight that would have ended a legacy before it truly began.
