He touches her cheek and she flinches. He had not meant to make her so sad.
But her father was more a threat alive, it had to be done
He places Lannister crimson around her shoulders and crown of gold upon her head
Her tears are tears of joy he convinces himself
He gives her everything her heart desires, dresses, jewels, flowers.
Has a throne built for her beside his.
Lets her hold court in his stead and adds an extra seat in the small council so she may sit beside him in council meetings.
And when she asks it, he sends his mother away to Casterly Rock, despite his mother's protests.
She does not understand what it means to be in love.
