Summary
Daemon is heavier than he looks, heavier even than the dragon egg. But he relaxes into the cradle of Rhaenyra’s arms. With a last delighted gurgle—so it seems to Rhaenyra—the babe closes his eyes and falls back asleep. “Hello, nephew,” she says softly. “Hello, Daemon.”
In which Daemon is Viserys's son and heir, and his aunt Rhaenyra is the only woman he wants.

Summary
Prince Baelon had another cause for celebration as well. His wife, Alyssa, was again with child. This time, he told his brother Aemon, he was praying for a girl.
The gods listen to Baelon’s prayers, and in the year 82 AC, princess Alyssa gives her husband the daughter he has longed for. The happy parents name the girl Rhaenyra to honour two Queens - Rhaenys and Rhaena. Soon, the little princess gains another name - Realm’s Delight, for she is the most delightful child under the sun, cherished by her family, the knights, courtiers and smallfolk alike.
But no one loves princess Rhaenyra more than her brothers, princes Viserys and Daemon, and mayhaps that is the reason for the trouble looming over the House of the Dragon.

Summary
“Because if I intended to simply take leave, as you say, it would be expected that the Hand and Small Council would govern in my stead, in my name.”
Daemon nodded, taking a sip from his cup.
Viserys caught his gaze and held it. “Instead, I want you to govern, as if you were king.”
Daemon choked, spluttering and wasting the fine Arbor Gold all over the floor. “What?!”
“You say you wish to be my Hand, and later succeed me on the Iron Throne. Let us test that shall we? Discover whether you truly wish to rule the Seven Kingdoms.”
In the wake of his grief, Daemon’s words and pleas at the foot of the Iron Throne manage to touch Viserys’s heart. He had lost sight, in his quest for a son, of the family he already had. He had forgotten that House Targaryen could only be felled when it teared itself apart from the inside out.
No more.
So, rather than exile, Viserys decides to take a gamble.

Or, if Viserys was just a little less stupid and a little more brotherly.- Language:
