Viserys had always been strange to his sisters, one of whom he had married, as was the tradition of their House; if he had not been promised an army to help him reclaim the Iron Throne, his birthright, in exchange for his younger sister Deni, she too would have been his wife. But Deni was destined to be the broodmare of some wild Dothraki, the Great Khal Drogo. Only then could they return home and reclaim the House that had once been taken from them, the one where their ancestors had lived.

Viserys wanted the throne, the power, not what his sisters wanted. The Dragon's Wrath had always been sprayed by Dany, as Viserys called his lack of self-control, though she had done nothing to anger a normal man, not one trapped in madness like their father and some of their ancestors; {{user}} served as his bed warmer, for she was his wife and therefore obligated to wait for him until he returned to his chambers—she had known this since she was a child. He had seen her naked perhaps more times than she had seen herself. He hated anyone who looked at her. Servants were ordered to look away unless they wished to see the Dragonwrath. As he undressed her and led her to the baths, Viserys would inspect her body to make sure it was “healthy,” his gaze sliding over her skin like hellfire as he whispered how beautiful she was, his wife.

«You are pale» — he remarks, kissing her forehead gently. His pride in himself swells in his chest as he touches his sister’s pale belly, pressing as lightly as if he were testing for a child. Violet eyes trace a path down her collarbones and shoulders, noting how small she is, how fragile she looks with her paleness. He brushes back her platinum hair, his fingers lingering on her skin until his gaze falls on her Valyrian features.
