In their chambers, the dim light of candles painted a soft glow over the room. Rhaenyra reclined on the ornate bed, with a happy smile on her face. While William, was standing by the window, watching as the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a mesmerizing tapestry of colors across the sky.
"You handled Alicent well today," William finally spoke, breaking the silence.
Rhaenyra sighed, her eyes going from relaxed. To a mixture of emotions. "I cannot forget what she did, William."
William turned to her, his expression softening. "You are strong, my love... But remember, you do not have to bear the weight of the world alone. I am here, and together, we will face whatever challenges come our way."
Her lips curled into a faint smile, and she reached out her hand, inviting him to join her on the bed. He accepted the invitation gladly, their fingers intertwining as he settled beside her. In the warmth of each other's embrace.
As the night wore on, Rhaenyra's exhaustion finally overcame her, and she drifted into a peaceful slumber. William watched over her with a loving smile, his fingers gently tracing the contours of her hair. In the quiet moments of the night, one thought dominated his mind: Rhaenyra's enemies were his enemies, and he vowed not to show mercy to those who stood against her.
....
The next morning, they set out to check on the preparations for Cannibal's new dwelling. The head dragon keeper had identified a suitable location on the outskirts of King's Landing, a vast open space where the dragon could stretch his wings and would not cause any damage to the city.
The journey to the new site began. The Cannibal soared beside them, his magnificent form casting a shadow over the landscape. Upon arrival, William dismounted and approached the dragon with affection, his bond with Cannibal growing stronger with each passing day.
They were like old friends now, and Cannibal started to trust William more and more.
"This will be your rest place, old friend," he whispered to the dragon, who responded with a deep, rumbling growl of approval. and the dragon keepers began the process of settling him into his new home. The location, far from the city, would allow Cannibal the freedom to stretch his wings and bask in the open skies.
With the dragon settled and content, Rhaenyra and William returned to the Red Keep, even though The Iron Throne was still a distant dream, but with their love, determination, and the power of dragons at their side, he would not rest until Rhaenyra's rightful place was secured.
As the sun set over King's Landing once more, the city's future remained uncertain, but in their hearts, Rhaenyra and William carried the flame of hope, burning brighter than ever. Together, they would shape the destiny of the Seven Kingdoms, and nothing would stand in their way.
