She is more like me than anyone realizes. Though Viserys has noted that she has little of her mother in her. That suits me just fine. Her mother wouldn't have lasted five minutes against our odds. But Alyssa, she can hold her own. I rarely need to intervene.
It taught me that I managed to produce a mini me who hates the Hightowers as much as I do. She tends to not really take anyone's shit. *cue proud father hours*
As I said, the Vale was not and is not a place I wish to venture to. Too much bad blood. Besides, I have been taking responsibility for your sister, Alyssa. Your uncle felt it would teach me a thing or two.
*Daemon sighs* It was not my choice to wed your mother and there was little love between us. That much is far from secret. However, your accusation of murder is a falsehood. I had no desire to be anywhere near the Vale. My place is here, in Kings Landing. Yours was in the Vale with your mother.
*Daemon rolls his eyes at this* Does everyone think so little of me? At least your sister Alyssa thinks highly of me. Then again I am the only parent she has ever known. Her mother did not survive childbirth.
Why would I kill my own lady wife? I have been confronted with that rumor before. Your sister first heard of your mother when I was confronted about it. *he speaks of Alyssa. He hopes she does not believe this vile rumor*
She apparently speaks ill of me. Do you tell her not to do so? I am curious to know what she told you of me.
*Daemon sighs* Every seems to pass some sort of judgment. If it isn't Viserys or his cunt of a Hand, Otto Hightower, it's the Bronze Bitch. What falsehoods did she fill your head with?
//Just Daemon being Daemon here lmao
*Daemon arches a brow* Not of late. Why does everyone insist on asking that question?
She is definitely my daughter. As long as she doesn't try to plot war crimes, I'm fine with it. *He secretly hopes she tries something*
Oh good......my daughter fawning over a baby dragon season is over. Now I can get back to plotting war crimes....... *goes to look for @sanguisdrakon.bsky.social *
*blinks* Dare I ask why?
//You know me lol We talked on my Viserys and such last night lol
I prefer Prince Daemon. Or just Daemon. And who may I ask am I speaking to?

- With a hand on Dark Sister's hilt, he turns away from her, fully intending to go back to where Caraxes waits for him. He cannot take much more of his daughter's treatment of him. -

@wclfcfthencrth.bsky.social @roguelikedaemon.bsky.social @fxrgxttenrxyal.bsky.social
- you, I wondered why. He and I have been talking and he told me of something that had happened. Something to do with you, dear daughter. I could not come to handle such things before. -

Send someone to fetch her, Stark, or I am leaving. I came at your invitation to see her and I am being kept waiting. Did no one tell her that such behavior is unacceptable? As a princess, she should know better.
@wclfcfthencrth.bsky.social @roguelikedaemon.bsky.social
*Daemon is speaking with Cregan Stark while he waits for his daughter. What in seven hells is taking her so long?! She should know better than to keep him waiting. He is growing ever more impatient. He looks at Cregan*

I am not sure she even wants to see me. Please explain why I was invited here.
