The morning arose before any of us were ready for it to I believe Rhea wished the sun to never rise because this meant she had to leave her mother to rest which was the worst feeling

I awoke first and let Rhea sleep on as I got dressed tears spilling down my black dress as I placed in my earrings and did my hair, before beginning to read through my nearby book on my balcony, I sat on the ground with my knees almost up at my chest while my book sat on my legs peaceful. Until a few moments had passed and someone came barging into my room

"Daphne Rhea is missing!" The king yelled before quieting his tone seeing Rheanyra with me safe and sound "oh" he uttered giving his daughter a sad smile

"My apologies your grace" I said as I stood up

"None needed princess" he said giving me a sad smile

"Your grace" I stopped him from leaving

"Yes Daphne?"

"You know Aemma was like a mother to me" I stated he nodded "Rhea is my entire world and I bet the gods would curse me for saying it but I would die for her your grace" I added "But those men you sit at your table with will either lead you to glory or ruin" as I finished he looked mad "you are a good man and an incredibly kind father but tend to stick close with Rhea she will need you"

"That is all I plan to do but it is-"

"Difficult I know" I looked down

"I'm sorry princess I mistakenly forgot all about your mother" he said looking down "come let us break our fast together" I looked at Rhea "she can say goodbye to her mother when she awakens we will not start without her" I nodded and took his arm as he lead us to a room with breakfast spread along the table

He pulled out a chair for me and I sat as he sat at the top of the table I was to his left

"You care deeply for her I see that" he uttered as he was buttering a piece of bread "but do not worry I would never sabotage you and hers friendship" I nodded slowly as I ate a grape

"Did I miss something?" Daemon asked

"Yes I woke up at an ungodly hour" I stated earning a chuckle from both men

"Daphne loves her sleep especially on days like this" he squeezed my hand and gave me a saddened smile before turning back to his plate

"We'll excuse me I was hoping to have a moment with Princess Daphne in the throne room your grace" I looked at the king and he nodded as Rhea entered the room I quickly stopped from smiling at the king and jumped from my seat to go to her
