To be fair, is that not what brothers do to each other normally? The only difference is that he is king, and has the power to banish me until tempers cool. Were he not king, we'd bicker until we didn't and make up soon enough.
[ If it wasn't her, it would be another thing to put anger between the brothers. And she would be wrong if she thought him so shallow that it was only his pride that had him interested in her. In truth, he wasn't sure what it was that drew him toward her, but he did know it was more than just pride or the thrill of the chase, to fester once he'd obtained his want.
There was something about her specifically. She created an itch he wanted to scratch, not just to have but to challenge, to watch that fire burn behind her eyes when they were in the same room together, to know, even apart that her lips likely formed a pursed line. ]
Yet you haven't heard how she speaks about me. I assure you that the feelings are mutual, Alicent. She wants nothing to do with me, just as I want nothing to do with her. Neither of us wanted the marriage, and it was never consummated, so technically, there is no marriage. She's free to do as she wishes.
