She knew he didn't love Rosalin, but she still felt as though she had won a small victory. He had always been in her heart, but when she had carried his child, growing larger as the months passed, she became more certain about where her heart truly lay. There was no way for her to leave Renly now. For all intents and purposes, their marriage was consummated. If she should challenge that now, the kingdoms would be torn back into war.
The Tyrells would side with their blood, but the chaos was not good for the people or for the crops. She needed to endure a loveless marriage with a man that was angry at her for bedding a rival king. Her only companion being her daughter, one that might never know the truth.
Despite knowing he was right, she knelt beside his chair, placing her hand over his. "No, I shouldn't." She said gently. "Say all that you wish to me. Inflict your anger and displeasure, if it helps ease your mind. I deserve it for keeping this from you. It won't change my feelings for you."
