Summary
He knew that such a fate would one day fall to him as well. Not marriage to a dornishman, the King had surely bound Dorne close enough with all those alliances already. But marriage all the same, to whomever it might be. Some lord of convenience, no doubt, one offering advantage to the throne. A coward, perhaps. A craven. Or some doddering old fool. Mayhaps even a beta spouse who would leave him forever shackled within his own flesh. Longing, never truly satisfied, never knowing the feeling of being joined to the kind of lover capable of making him whole.
But this haunted him most: the thought of being bartered like a broodmare to some wretch who would never grant him any respect. Love he did not expect — he knew that was too much to hope for. But respect… Was even that too much for him to ask?
When the youngest Targaryen prince, the sole omega of the royal line, gets promised to a lord of the Reach against his wishes, he seeks aid on the only one he deems capable of saving him: his galant older brother, the heir to the throne.
He did not imagine his brother to already have his own thoughts on just who his hand should be given to.
