Yes, it is true. I am not from Valyria. I met Vagon in Volantis. I do stick out quite a bit, but Vagon always assured me I was the most beautiful woman in the world to his eyes. The other nobles do not listen to me because they do not consider me one of them. I believe they would try to exile Vagon if they could, but they do know that as kind as he is, he is to be feared. 

I fear for you Daeneys. Your mother was sweet and kind, she died during child birth. Aenar has grown bitter and harsher as the years go on. I do know he has a soft spot for you. Do not overlook what is in his heart.

You will marry Gaemon, but that does not mean you have to let him rule over you, you can choose your destiny.
