Dany couldn't sleep at all that night. She wondered many things about her brother. She tried to picture him younger, she tried placing herself in his shoes only to try and understand an ounce of what he'd been through despite of being unsure of whether she wanted to understand it or not.

'Your grace, you should sleep.' Missandei whispered in the dark. The Naathi girl had been her best friend for a while now and Dany trusted her with all. Missandei was the closest thing she had to a sister.

'I can't.'Dany whispered. Her brain was hungry for knowledge of him. She desired for him to hold her. She wanted him to be next to her at all times. She couldn't let him slip away. And most importantly, she had to protect him, because even if they were family , Dany was probably the most dangerous person in his life.

'He is a mystery, your grace, and as much as you resemble one another I can tell that you have much more fire in you.'Missandei spoke in a calm, soothing tone.

'Fire is killed off when you feel guilt over the death of your entire family.'Dany send before rolling to the other side and falling asleep.

Ser Barristan walked in the new chambers of the Dragon Prince. Just like Rhaegar asked he was positioned as close to Daenerys as possible. When Selmy walked in, he bowed.

'I can't believe it, your grace.' The Knight muttered. To Rhaegar he had always been like father. He never shamed him for his passion for books unlike Aerys and he taught him how to be a brave man.

'Come,sit please.' Rhaegar got up as he was restless. 'I beg of you to tell me everything that you know since you are in her service.'

Selmy hesitated for a moment but he decided to leave his questions for the Prince for later on.

' I was blamed for Robert's early death and Joffrey retired me. He said that I was too old to be Kingsguard so I decided to leave everything behind and before they could catch me and throw me in the dungeons I managed to get on a ship to Essos. It took me a while to find Daenerys but when I did she almost got killed by a Qarthean. I didn't reveal myself immediately nor did anyone recognize me. When I did reveal my identity she made me her Queensguard and gave me a new sword.'he smiled a bit. 'I'm sorry about your brother, your grace. Robert had been hunting them down ever since they were children and I wasn't a part of the council so I couldn't do anything. Ser Jorah was hired by Robert to make sure Daenerys doesn't go home and when she got pregnant he sold her, Rhaego and Drogo off to Robert only for permission for him to go home. He is an exile, sir. He used to sell slaves. Now he is in love with her and she found it in herself to close her eyes for his mistakes. Now I try to keep them apart as much as possible and Daario Naharis helps me. I don't like Meeren, your grace. It's far too dangerous for our princess.' Rhaegar's mind was racing. He had to convince his sister to leave Meeren as soon as possible.

'Thank you.' He smiled to his old friend. When Selmy left with no questions asked the prince walked towards the terrace and stared as the sun started rising. He looked to his side and saw Daenerys standing there also watching the sunrise. She hadn't noticed him so he decided to watch her. She didn't look like their father and somehow she reminded him of their mother. She had her grace, her will.

'Good morning.' Dany had caught him staring. She was smiling sleepily and just for a second he forgot that she was a queen and not just a child.

'Good morning, your grace.' He smiled. Rhaegar realized that this was probably his first genuine smile in a very long while.

'Quit your gracing me.'Dany scolded. 'I am your sister, the blood of your blood. We are equals.' She insisted. Still, he felt like he didn't deserve the throne and he'd decided to abdicate and leave her rule with a suitor of her choice despite knowing what the common reaction would be.
