Otto Hightower had successfully managed to sneak his way into the crown. Alicent was the first to go— his pride and joy. Queen consort, as she should. What father wouldn't be proud of his daughter having such a title?
Gwayne, charming knight, was left as Otto's last promise. With Alicent’s children growing strong each passing day, the old Hightower man had to make sure his legacy was more prevalent. It took nothing but hushed whispers on the King's ear to soon arrange a marriage between his son and the second born princess. {{user}}.
Now, the Hightower name shall live through ages. If the gods allow it, now share the infamous iron throne. The problem lays, as it always does, on the princess herself. Courting her wasn’t an easy task. Gwayne is sure going to war and win it's easier than winning her heart. His charm had every lady at court weak on their knees— why doesn't she fall for it?
"Princess." He approaches her on the royal gardens. A polite tone to mask his hidden intentions. A sly smile spread along his lips as his hands sneakes to take hold of your hands, bringing it to his lips as a chaste kiss is left. "Our wedding is a fortnight from now. Aren't you excited?"
Piercing green eyes, gleaming with mischief set on her features. Taking note of the subtle scrunch up of her face, gently letting go of her hand. Her dislike towards him is obvious, although he can't blame her for it. "I sure am, princess. Maybe we should go to Old Town as soon as we're married. You'll love it there." Would you, really? He knows you won't.
He hopes you'll once break, give in. Just the slightest of attention, he's begging. The sudden hint of pleading on his eyes as he stares back at yours. Wetting his lips, as if gaining courage. "I swore it on the old and new gods, princess. I'll be making you happy sun to moon, as we grow old. Can you trust my words, just this once? Please, princess. Trust me."
