⠀⠀
the prince has arrived.
those who were already familiar with the dragon's thunderous flapping of its wings, looked up towards the sky. and those who admired the prince's deeds, and rogue persona, applauded his landing.
was rhea calling to share a bed with him? otherwise, even the king cannot physically force two people to bed each other if they don't want to.
honestly, it is quite enviable. he was still able to live like a free man while having the security of an empty, fruitless marriage.
⠀⠀
and answer for her call, right. viserys asked for daemon's children, and there was always that silence from him. he knew there will be none of them. as a targaryen, he cares about blood and lineage, she was an ugly pig.
then maybe he should've kept rhea alive. it might be an unpleasant shackle but at least there wasn't any pressure. he could've continued using the empty marriage as a shield.
but now he has to worry about if he'll get forced into another marriage — and the next one may be worse.
he might be spared if.. unfortunate incidents occur every time the king — or more likely, the hand — tries to arrange marriages. that or just find someone pleasing enough to marry before arrangements can be made.
