Limerence ||♞|| Viserys Targaryen

xxxiii ) Lylian

"How could you know?" Daenerys frowned.

"Maybe it's better to leave now, or we might lose the opportunity to take back my throne."

"I know you wanted your throne, cousin." The other queen sighed.

"But look around you. Haven't you saw what conditions are the Dothrakis and the Unsullied's in? Yes, I know that there were more than half of them left, but those who are alive are tired, and hurt."

"We must go." The mother of dragons bit her lip.

"What are you afraid of, Daenerys?" Freya snapped.

"You have three dragons, three dragons, then you have the Dothrakis, the Unsullieds, the Blossomers, and my Thunderers. I doubt the golden company would be so strong they could kill all three of your children in one battle."

"They got the elephants." Said Jaime Lannister, who had been here since the first day but she could't find any excuse to have a talk with him.

He is Cersei's twin, and he said he came here to help.

Honestly, Lylian didn't believe him that much.

The rumors of Cersei's children wouldn't be started if it had no truth in it at all.

And, according to the soldiers that are spies in King's Landing, many of the rumors from the Keep are based on reality.

But at least he made use of himself. And the lord Hand is quite close to his brother, so she couldn't see any reason to turn him away.

But she couldn't see any reason to accept him, either.

"Elephants?" Freya raised her brows, then gave the whole round map table a chuckle.

"Have you ever seen an elephant before, my lords?" Her sharp blue eyes glanced around.

"I have been to the lands far from your knowledge since I was a girl, and and elephant in my knowledge is no match to the dragons."

Freya stopped for a moment, letting the cold silence getting into the room.

Then she spoke again,

"Worries can make you vulnerable, Daenerys. Stay until your army regained their strength."

"I agree, your grace." Tyrion nodded his head.

The queen's violet eyes wandered to Jon, who made his approval gesture next to his sister-turned-cousin. Sansa tilted her head and went still for some mere moments, but gave a very faint smile and nod as well.

"Then we shall stay for a while longer." Viserys put his hand onto Dany's shoulder, ending the conversation.

"That's all for today, see you at the feast."

Freya gave them a little nod, then she turned back leaving with her siblings, her dark blue cloak that reminds her of the deep sea fluttered in the air behind her, making it looked more like aggressive waves in violent storm.

After everyone left, Viserys, who is still there moved to his sister's front.

"Dany, we need to talk."

"About what?" Daenerys asked, she looked more upset than frustrated.

"You don't need to be in such a hurry." He tried to convince her.

"We have plenty of time. Besides, if your stay here you could learn to get along with the Northerners."

"They hated me!" The end of her voice slashes like a whip.
"They would always be."

"Remember our ancestors, Dany." He stroked her silver locks.

"Aegon?"

"No, today I'm not going to mention Aegon the Conqueror. He had the power, but what he lacks is compassion. These two things must come together to make a good sovereign." He licked his dried lips, then continued.

"I want you to be his grandson, Jaehaerys the Conciliator."

"What?" She frowned, looking very confused.
"Jaehaerys?"

Lylian took Daenerys' hand into hers.

"Daenerys," She breathed.
"He is right. Now is not the time to be Aegon. You will not win over the North with fire, but you can win it with mercy."

"Have I not been merciful?!" She almost screamed.
"I have done everything, I saved them from the Night King, and I will save them from Cersei!"

"What makes you being so loved through the free cities? You freed the slaves, didn't you?" She asked.

After receiving a nod, she continued.

"But there are no slaves here to be freed, only the wounded people and the people whose houses had been destroyed. So, what can you do?"

She could hear her good-sister's breath stopped for a quick moment, then her violet eyes rose up to meet her and her husband.

Lylian glanced at Viserys who is already watching, and they smiled.

It's time to do more than wars and conquers.
