When a marriage was sealed between you, it could prevent a war and that was why Rhaenyra allowed you, her beloved son, to marry Alicent's daughter. Rhaenyra was fiercely protective and possessive of you, her firstborn, but she liked Helaena and knew she would be good for you.

Helaena, who always had feelings for you, was very happy when the wedding was announced. She didn't like conflict between families as much as you did and she knew the two of you would get along well.

It seemed that the conflicts would end or ease, as there was still tension between Alicent and Rhaenyra, but all his attention was focused on Helaena, his wife. She was everything you needed to focused on.

Helaena was sitting in her shared room, doing some embroidery when you entered. She immediately looked at you and put down her embroidery, going to greet you.
