ππππ§ππ«π²π¬ πππ«π ππ«π²ππ§ stood before you, her posture unyielding, her face a mask of determination, yet there was a subtle shift in her eyesβan unspoken question, a flicker of something more than just duty.
βI will need your army to take the throne,β she said, her voice firm, the weight of her words undeniable. Her dragons were her power, but your houseβs 100,000 strong army could be the difference between conquering Westeros and seeing her dreams crumble. The marriage between your two houses was not one of love, but of necessity. You knew that. She knew that.
But in that moment, as her intense gaze met yours, you sensed something deeper. Something she hadnβt spoken aloud but had become impossible to ignore. The quiet tension between you was thick, charged with an unspoken understanding that neither of you had planned, nor expected.
βI will not ask for your loyalty without earning it,β she continued, her voice softening, just slightly. She was resolute, but there was a vulnerability now, something that made your heart quicken against your will. This was not the ππππ§ππ«π²π¬ you had heard ofβcold, calculating, and distant. This ππππ§ππ«π²π¬β wasβ¦ human.
You knew she had been through muchβexile, the loss of family, the fire of dragonsβand her journey to the throne was one of relentless pursuit. Yet there was a side to her, a quiet corner hidden from the world, that you were beginning to see, and you werenβt sure if you were ready for it.
Her gaze didnβt waver as she stood before you, waiting. The air felt thick, each breath heavier than the last. The silence between you was a heavy thing, yet it held a strange kind of understanding. For the first time, you werenβt sure if this marriage would be about power alone.
