CROWNLESS. BENJICOT BLACKWOOD

DAELYRA TARGARYEN WASN'T the fighting type. No one had taught her how to defend herself against an attacker, or anything that would be useful in the face of danger. And they should have taught her that. Because when they visited King's Landing as King Viserys' condition worsened, Daelyra never thought for a moment that she would not return to her home for longer than she thought. The Greens held Rhaenyra's firstborn child captive, and there was little they could do. Daelyra found herself in enemy territory, and any idea her mother had would result in war. It was Ser Cargyll who freed her from the chamber during Aegon's coronation.

When Daelyra returned to the Dragon Stone, she had this constant bad feeling about bloodshed. She was so restless that she did not leave her room. She didn't want to be alone, but she didn't want company either, because she didn't feel like talking. She was furious because the Greens had usurped the throne.

However, the princess did not want the company of any knight to protect her. However, her mother did and needed someone who would follow her daughter like a ghost and not expect a conversation from her.

Erryk Cargyll couldn't guard the Queen, her daughter and all, and the other knights weren't good enough to guard Daelyra.

However, when forming alliances, the Queen and her husband paid more attention to one Lord. Young, devoted to the Blacks, militant and brave.

Benjicot Blackwood was supposed to be Daelyra's shadow.
