@realmsworth said : It is necessary for a prince to have the people friendly.
The Prince of Dragonstone was an ambitious young man. In fact , he couldn't help but notice how much the young man reminded him of himself. Eager to be the man the realm expected him to be , gripping to those standards He didn't know the whole of it , the concept of bastards being much looser in his lands than Westeros , he he still knew the struggle of fighting to defend his claim. He knew what it was to be a young man , by some rights still a boy , and being forced to become a man regardless. Their lives may indeed have been different , but there was understanding between the two royals. He was on the right path though , a prince's thoughts should be upon his people and keeping them happy.
❝ That is true , your Highness. The people are much easier to work with when friendly. ❞ He agreed , pacing the room they stood in. He had set sail the moment he received word of the King's death , arriving to Dragonstone only to swear allegiance to the Blacks. As if he would have chosen another side , and now offered whatever aid he could , along wit the promise to Rhaenyra to get her children to Whyndaer should things turn unfavorably. Time would tell still if it should come to that , and he'd do everything he could to prevent that. For now , that happened to include offering council to Jacaerys. ❝ But you may find yourself in a moment where they are not prone to being very friendly. Diplomatic resolve doesn't seem important until one finds themselves in the moment where it is needed. ❞
