ā My sister was the better option, I know. You would have preferred she was the one given to you, but alas, we cannot always have what we want. ā @iorves
Corlys flinched, shrinking away from the prince like a child who had been struck. He was unsure why the accusation had hurt him so ; after all, he had indeed spent much of his time declaring to others that he was the type of knight who fawned over women just as often as he fawned over them. He could not blame Haeslesys for thinking that he would have preferred taking Daenerys to wife. Many men would prefer the same, he imagined, even if he personally did not see the difference between them.
"I do not want your sister," he finally replies, his voice surprisingly soft and almost pained. "I do not want you either. I do not want this at all."
