The Rooms of Queen Rhaena Targaryen

"I will keep that in mind. Whoever they are, I am sure finding them will be very beneficial." Rhaena said, looking away from Sergio briefly, "they are going to pay, sergio, both Vira and Maekar, death will be too good for them."

"There are many different kinda of greed. Some covet money others power, others other people," Rhaena replied to him, "Maekar demonstrates all three. Family is very important to me, my father and mother, my grandmother, my brothers and sisters, and now my family is is short supply, All Aegon and I have left really now is one another. Daenya is gods know where, Trajan too. There is Aunt Arenya, and grandmother, some other bastards He and I only have one another and this," she placed a hand over her stomach gently, still with little evidence of a bump, "I never thought Maekar would do this, I thought he loved me, I thought he loved our father, I thought that would be enough to stave off his ambition, but I was wrong, and I won't be making that mistake again."

"For Vira?" She asked, laughing softly, "or his wife?" She shook her head, "I think everyone underestimated Maekar's Capacity for anything, A woman may have influenced him to act and he may be able to kid himself into thinking it was for someone else, a woman, the realm, but he is doing this for himself, no one makes themselves a king out of compassion for another."

"Whoever would commit suicide, also killing said woman in the process just to impress her, is a fool and little more. If men have tried impressing me, then I must be blind to their attempts, or just not the subject of them, usefulness impresses me, not hollow gestures." Rhaena said, looking back into Sergio's eyes, "Have you tried impressing any impressionable young women. A man with your money and resources should find it easy on most women."

"A Peacock, perhaps," Rhaena retorted, "You said men do anything for love. What about women? Do they go to such lengths? You think women murder for the people they love?"

"I do not love people like that." Rhaena said looking away again, "Loving something like that makes you weak. Makes you vulnerable."

She paused for a second and looked back, "Have you?"

"I suppose you only know that if you let yourself fall like that. I can't afford to be weak or vulnerable. There is a reason it's falling in love, because it lowers you. There is only one thing I really love." Rhaena responded, "Look what love has done to this kingdom, if indeed this is all one big show of love from Maekar to Vira."

"Would they have acted if not for it. It is them who are the tools. Tools to their own lack of control, for that's what love is, a lack of control. It makes you blind." She said, narrowing her eyes at him laughing at her, "I can prosecute them for their actions, and also be wary of their actions roots. I do not think that is foolish. Love is an extreme, like greed and piety, it clouds us from what is best."

"No. If you go mad for some time, you think it makes sense what you do, but that's not a sane person talking, it's maddness talking. The same with love. It is not a reasonable person acting, it is a person in love." she replied, "besides, love gets in the way of having a good time. Love and duty."

"What good did you see in me then?" She asked, a quirk of a grin when he mentioned laying with men, "Not much, I imagine."

"My family did not get where they are now by waiting for what they want to become available," she said and moved a bit closer to him, " do you know what I really want right now?"

"If you are thinking anything than my brothers head on a pike, you are wrong," she commented, "that, would make me very happy."
