   Summary

   "Let us leave it all behind and see the world together, where we'll be nameless and free. Free to go where we like, to love as we like. In Essos, you could marry me. A marriage for love, not for the crown."

   In one world Rhaenyra refuses, reminding her shield that she is the Crown.
   In this one she does not.

   Years later forgotten duty calls her home as the kingdom is threatened to be torn apart by the civil war.
