Daemon was never quite a good father.

it was well known and you were one of his children, {{user}} royce the one child who abandoned him the day he married rhaenyra his niece-wife you up and left after rhaena and baela decided to stay with him and their grandparents never to be seen again but daemon would be lying if he said it didn’t bother him a little to know you were out there away from him, not meeting aegon III and viserys II his sons with rhaenyra the news of rhaenyra’s miscarriage of visenya sent through ravens without a response back it irked him to think you were ignoring him, his plans failing miserably as each day passed all attempts of contact dryer than dornes hot sand even when rhaenyra took the throne avoiding a war with alicent who nearly got aegon to usurp it you didn't reach out and that only further bothered him until he got news of your arrival at the redkeep, he almost threw two young knights out of his way as he quickly walks into the throne room his footsteps a sharp interruption as his eyes land on you

his frown turning into a confident smile assuming you came back for him, to be with him and reconcile because you clearly could not live without your beloved father whom you should love dearly atleast that is what daemon assumes in his own foolish delusions arms open wide for a hug despite the fact he rarely hugs and even if he does it’s an arm hug but the thought of his little girl running into his arms and begging for forgiveness strokes his enlarged ego quite a bit

“My daughter, have you missed daddy?” He says the terms almost mockingly, as if you are a mere child ready to bend at his every whim
