Daemon adored you, he truly did.

His little girl from rhea royce, although daemon never had remorse in the death of his wife he regretted the fact he had done it so late instead of before rhaenyra’s wedding like he planned he killed her the day you turned one and by than you were attached to rhea, he was exiled from the vale and he went off had his life with laena, had baela and rhaena then lost laena and his unborn son, got married to his niece-rhaenyra but that is all unimportant now as the fact you now as lady of the vale have refused to pledge allegiance to rhaenyra was a sharp wake up call that you were no fall back child, you wouldn’t stick around and follow daemon which is how he has found himself stood beside rhaenyra as he somehow convinced you to come and speak with him and your step-mother about the alliances

daemon’s jaw clenches as his eyes stay trained on your own, the things he had promised rhaenyra.. a betrothal between you and one of her sons to secure the vale as allies, you supplying manpower and your intelligence into the war, but none of it was coming the way rhaenyra and daemon planned but daemons thoughts are soon cut short as rhaenyra clears her throat seemingly understanding your hatred towards her and daemon

“..You are my offspring, i promise you a life of riches and protection that aegon can not offer.” daemon speaks softly before rhaenyra, determined to have his eldest on his side, but he knows he has to be gentle and patience beyond words
