"It was nothing you did, Marcellus", Evan touched his hair as he hugged the pleading boy,"It was nothing you did. You are a good boy, you always have been that why you were chosen to be here, because you are good,"He lifted his chin," Because you are a good Prince."
"Do not doubt that, ever." He sighed,"I love you, your aunts love you. We are a family and we will take care of you as well as each other."
He smiled at him,"You are not bad and you have done nothing wrong, my dear, sweet boy. Please believe that, it was not your fault. She chose to leave all of us."

Marcellus sniffed and nodded, then wiped his nose with the back of his hand.
"Did she choose to be with Father?" He asked.

Wanting to answer his grandson truthfully, he shook his head slowly,"No, she did not. It was a hard choice but it had to be made for a chance at peace between the houses of Yronwood and Martell."
"It was her duty. As it was mine when I married."

"Like mine is to carry on?" He asked, comprehending quickly for a child.

Evan nodded,"As it is my boy, If you are ready to do so?" He looked at his grandson with a grin,"Are you ready?"

The boy gave a weak smile not wanting his grandfather to think him unworthy, as if he was scared that he would leave him too.

"Good", he nodded, noting his unconfident smile. He didn't want to press him anymore, his plans would have to wait until the boy was truly ready. "Now, tell me how are you getting on? are your studies under the Hand hard?"

"I am glad to hear it, but you are not here to make me happy, Marcellus", he touched his shoulder again,"You are here to learn and become a fine young Dornish man for House Martell."
"You have to do this to make yourself happy and proud." Evan smiled,"Lord Targaryen should be a great teacher for you. He is skilled in many things and you will benefit from his teachings."
He studied his grandson,"You are young yet and have a many years to go, but I am still proud of you." He stood and tossed him an orange,"Now run along, I shall be here a few more days and then I'm returning to Dorne, but I will write you."
"Be sure that it is alright with Lord Targaryen, if you can see me off before I leave, alright?"

"Of course." The boy answered promptly. "I will do my best."
He caught the orange easily.
"I will write to you too when I can."

Evan smiled, nodding,"That is all I can ask." He watched as the orange was caught by the lad,"Very good, I will look forward to hearing about your time here, Marcellus." He then motioned with his hands, chuckling,"Now run along, I don't want to have to answer to the Lord Hand why his ward was not present to do his duties."

Marcellus looked a little worried that he was late and ran from the chamber.

Evan smiled as the young boy ran from the chambers. "He shall do just fine", he said to himself and then began writing to Lyssa about the young Marcellus.

Evan left his desk and opened the door. To his surprise, there was his brother in law, Aurane standing in his presence. "Aurane?"
"I just recently sent a raven to you and Doreah before I came here."
