Targaryen's palace, the conference room, 10 pm

Bäahal and Daenerys were sitting in front of a whole journalist crew. The interview had been arranged months ago already and was supposed to focus on the Charity work of the Targaryen family. Bäahal had been media trained, so it wasn't supposed to be difficult. Her sister made sure she was wearing the best outfit since they would be photographed and filmed. Dany herself was gracing the audience with a beautiful white dress and white heels that only highlighted the beautiful silver curls of her hair and the violet eyes of hers. She let her hair loose and only wore her wedding ring (she never took away since Khal's death) and her lips had a tint of pink, giving her face a fresh look. Bäahal was wearing a black and fitted suit, with a pair of Louboutin stilettos and red lipstick. Her hair was tied on a sophisticated huge bun. She had crossed her legs and was staring intensely at the journalist.

They had it choreographed, down to the moments Bäahal was supposed to laugh and smile at her sister's quips. It was the advantage of having the script of the interview received in advance so there were no surprises. Bäahal didn't follow the interview, only waited for her sister's cues to react to her words, and recited her answers when it was her turn to speak. Boring. She wanted nothing more but to escape this place and do something else. What was the point of being paraded around by Daenerys and pretend that their family was united? What was the point of playing the loving family when the pain was all there was here? She was growing tired of being fake in front of the cameras but played her rôle to perfection up until the last questions came. Love questions.

Dany had been used to it, to being asked who she was seeing and if she was in love. Typical questions one would ask a woman, even more, typical when the said woman was as powerful as Dany was. Daenerys was the most sought after Bachelorette of Westeros, she was the most powerful woman at the moment, carrying a whole empire with her wits, and good looks. She was cunning, clever, ferocious even. They called her the Dragon Queen, partly due to respect, but mostly because her brother Viserys called himself the Dragon King's son. She never reacted to those names, nor did she really care about people wanting to marry her. All she wanted was to be left alone and always replied with the most basic answer: « I am way too busy running my empire to think of things like Love. » which wasn't true. She was married at some point and some suspected that she still hadn't mourned for his death properly and couldn't move on. Maybe they were right, maybe there was something else. The main point: Dany could play the game with ease.

Bäahal on the other hand. She used to play the game very easily before. She used to be truthful about her relationship status. There was no one before this Dornish heir, no one before she fell in love deeply with a man who broke her heart afterward. The whole press knew when the heir broke up with her. The whole world could see her tears whenever he was mentioned to her during interviews or at parties. Everyone would see the pain on her face and the bitterness that crossed her whole being at the mention of her lost love. She had loved him deeply and gave him everything including her broken heart he shattered into million pieces. So she knew better than to speak after that. She tuned in with Dany, repeated the same sentence over and over again. « I'm not interested in love, my work is far more important and I love giving my whole focus on a just cause. » a white lie that worked fine since she would not let anything betray her. She would often spend time with the same people, do the same routine, make sure her public life was as boring as possible -and failing to do so given the numerous clashes she had with people in public, giving tabloids a field day.- she still succeeded in making people wonder whether or not she was in love. She fascinated, after all, a bit like Prince Harry fascinated people because he was the runt of the royal family. He was the redhead who caused trouble and was rebellious. He wasn't very liked by his family, nor was he cited as an example. She was like him, in the public eye and they wanted more from her.

« I am not... » She started with, unable to keep going because that wasn't really true. For the first time in a long while, she was having something nice going on. A true connection, someone she liked to see and spend time with. It was nothing, flirtation but still... there was something. The thought itself made her heartbeats go faster and she blushed. Thankfully, it couldn't be seen because of her dark skin, so she smirked instead and shook her head. «.... It's the same thing as last year. I am only interested in my work. I am sure you've known that since Elias and I broke up, I haven't really been looking for love. » She said, shrugging at her words before she drifted her purple hues away from the journalist and to the large window behind her. In truth, her heart was beating faster now and she was doing her best not to let her ribcage heave up and down. Jaime was doing this to her, his hands on the soft skin of her legs, spreading them, exposing her most private parts. She remembered his groans in her ear and his lips on her neck. The passion radiating from him was too much for her to handle. They did tease each other about her being addicted to him and being unable to keep her hands off of him, which was true in that instant. She cleared her throat, to clear her mind and she finally said «So I hope you found the answer to your question. I do not have a relationship and I'm not interested in it. » She started again, this time glancing at her sister who was carefully studying her. Dany wasn't convinced, but the assertive tone Bäahal used to end the discussion achieved to make her shush her thoughts away.

But for how long?
