Description: Regina has the time of her life!

Word Count: 3.8K

‘Oh girl c’mon it’ll be fun!’ Betty exclaimed as she tugged Regina’s hands, pulling her in the direction of the pub that was booming with country music, soldiers in uniform lingering about.

‘Betty!’ She snatched her hand away, watching Betty stumble before once again gaining her footing. ‘Girl, my daddy is in the service! What if someone saw me in there!’ She whined out.

Her small friend pursed her lips together hard, dusting off her polka dotted dress in frustration and running her slender fingers through her freshly done candy curls.

‘Your daddy-‘ she said the words with bitterness. ‘Ain’t here.’ She let out a loud sigh and placed her hands on her hips, ‘Look. I know you’ve been under the weather since the death of your fiancé and—‘

‘Oooh—‘ Regina rolled her eyes, interrupting Betty. She let out a humorless scoff, ‘is this what this shit is about?! Getting me out of the house?!’

Betty gave her a look in bewilderment, glancing to the side with her hands remaining on her hips, ‘Uh yeah? Listen, let’s just treat it as a girl’s night?’ She walked up to her friend and draped her arm across her shoulders. ‘Look at these tall, delicious specimens huh?’ She waved her free hand slowly in the air. ‘Sure you could take one home!’

She was challenging her.

Regina glanced over at her friend and clicked her tongue against the roof of her mouth, ‘Oh Betty, I don’t know. This is a bar full of… crazy, nut jobs … pent up from rage, exhaustion, … lust.’

‘Mmmhmm?’ Betty egged on with an encouraging nod.

‘M-maybe we should—‘

‘That’s my girl!’ Betty exclaimed, throwing her hands in the air before clasping them together happily. ‘See I knew you couldn’t stand a chance! Come on!’ Betty snatched up her friend’s hand and led the way towards the stairs. ‘I promise if you feel unsafe or it just gets too wild in here— we’ll leave!’

‘Mmph, say you swear.’ Regina retorted, stopping the both of them in their tracks. Her pretty brown eyes glistened beneath the pretty bulbs that hung above them.

‘Cross my heart,’ Betty turned halfway and drew an ‘X’ over her chest, ‘Hope to die. Now. Can we go inside?’ She jerked her head towards the door.

Her stoic glare instantly shifted into something lighter, her grin spread across her face, ‘OK fine let’s go.’

The two women walked inside of the bar, hand in hand. The place was only lit by some old lamps that were screwed into the walls, and one old rusted chandelier hanging from the ceiling. Honestly, if it weren’t for that old thing, you’d have to squint to look at folks.

‘Wow! Look at this place!’ Betty beamed as she placed her hand over cleavage. ‘It’s amazing.’

Regina’s brows tugged into one, ‘Are we looking at the same place?’

‘Oh Regina, don't be so judgemental! Look at all this … man meat.’ Betty giggled and glanced over at the bar. ‘Let’s go get a drink in ya? Help you… mellow out a lil bit.’

Without an ounce of warning, Betty led the way towards the bar.

It wasn’t until their stroll when whistles began to fill the air. Mumbling and cat calling could be heard throughout the loud hymns of the music.

Both of the women were beautiful in their own right. Betty was blonde, with perfect porcelain skin. She had a slender figure but the waist of her dress seemed to emphasize the curves in her hips and the one on her rump.

Regina had skin that was brown as terracotta. Glowing like bronze when in the path of the sun. Her hair was dark as the shadows of night, patterned with tight curls and coils that cascaded down her back. She wore a black velvet bodycon dress that also enhanced her curves, dimples and hip dips.

When they made it to the bar, the barkeeper seemed to be startled for a second.

‘Ladies—‘ he stammered and quickly placed the rag and glass down upon the bar top. ‘Aren’t you two beauties a sight for sore eyes,’ he spoke in a heavy accent. And by the knot in his bottom lip, his tobacco was the reason for his twang. ‘What can I do you for?’

Betty gave him a charming grin, batting her thick dark lashes. She was bashful and convivial by nature. ‘Hi there. Can you pour me and my friend somethinggg… pungent? Thank you.’

Regina snapped her head over at her friend, glaring at her with eyes of astonishment. ‘Betty!’ She hissed, quickly snatching her wrist up in her palm.

‘Whaaat?’

‘Pungent? Really? I would like to know how we get home, please.’ She muttered.

‘Oh please stop being dramatic! What’s the point of coming out tonight if we can’t make the best of it? Relax.’

Finally tearing her eyes away, Regina looked to her right to scope out the room. Men of all colors and sizes were either looking in their direction, laughing and gambling or drinking til their hearts were content.

This really didn’t feel like a safe place at all.

When the barkeeper brought their drinks back, Betty pulled up her small clutch, ‘How much do I owe you sir?’

‘Nothing at all ma’am.’ He said, raising his hand. ‘The gentleman over there is willing to pay for your tab.’

Both of the women looked back at the mysterious male, whose bright blue eyes spoke before his lips did. He sported a thick mustache over his lips with his dark hair combed back to perfection. He stood to his feet, adjusting his brown slacks around his hips. His coat was decorated in pretty devices and ribbons. Some big hot shot.

He looked like he wanted to snap her in half. She was small enough to make that accomplishment.

‘Oooh. Regina?’

‘Yeah?’ Regina said as she stared at the handsome hunk of man that approached them.

‘I think you might have to busy yourself for the rest of the night.’ Betty quickly scooted off the wooden bar stool and knocked back her freshly poured whiskey. And in no time, the gentleman was towering over little Betty like a skyscraper.

Regina gasped, ‘Betty—‘

‘Miss?’ The barkeeper interrupted.

She snapped her head over at him at his call.

‘It appears you have secret admirers of your own.’

Her thick brows pulled into one as she sat up straight. ‘M-me?’ Plural? ‘Admirers? Who?’

The barkeeper glanced over to the corner of the room.

Her anxious eyes followed his gaze to the far right corner of the room. There sat two freakishly large men beneath a flickering yellow light.

One donned a large beard with a curled and dramatic mustache. His hair was curly and pushed back except one strand that dangled against his forehead.

The other had a clean shaven face with dirty blonde combed back hair. A set of round lenses sat on the bridge of his nose.

If their gaze had been daggers, she’d be dead.

‘Both. Of them?’ Regina hushed out.

‘You see em both lookin’ don’t cha?’

She swallowed her spit so hard she thought there was a lump there. She looked over at Betty who was getting more than acquainted with her new beau. Giggling and smiling like brand new love birds. Their whispers and flirts couldn’t be heard over the music.

‘Betty? There’s two! What do I do!?’ She was quite the neophyte when it came to things like this. Often men, one at a time, had courted her but two?! What would she do with two of them?!

Well, she would soon find out that she could do a lot more with two than she could do with just one.

Her friend looked over at her and gave her a wink.

Before she could coax an answer out of Betty, she felt the heavy warmth of their presence standing behind her.

Betty let out an excited giggle as her attractive stranger nibbled on her exposed neck.

Regina’s back stiffened with her legs crossed, unknowingly arching and causing her rump to stick out beneath her.

‘Excuse our intrusion Miss… but it would be great pleasure if you accepted our invitation to join us in our room this evening.’

The English accent was thick yet, blended with pure charm. His voice settled and nestled in the crevices in her brain.

She swallowed hard once again and lifted her shaky hand to scoop up the whiskey glass. Pressing it to her lips, she thought for a second.

If she took a sip of this drink, there was no going back! Ain’t no telling what these two strangers planned on doing to her once they were behind closed doors.

But perhaps, maybe this is what she needed. Her late fiancé had been gone for 1 year now and she couldn’t hang on to that forever. During her stage of grieving, she’d worked tirelessly to keep herself busy.

She deserved it!

Even if it meant getting torn to shreds by these two … delicious specimens.

Regina smirked at the barkeeper and knocked back the whiskey that burned her stomach profusely. She blinked hard before swallowing down the pain and courageously spun in her stool.

When her eyes had finally met theirs, she felt a pang in her chest. By the Heavens! Bless their mothers for carrying such prodigious of boys.

‘Oh!’ She placed her hand bosom. ‘My— you are big men.’

A smile curled up on their lips before they looked at one another knowingly.

‘Do you accept our offer, Miss?’ The blonde one spoke up. His accent was much different from the original one she’d heard.

She looked over at Betty who was now sporting her beau’s service cap and locking lips with him.

Well, Betty was having the time of her life. What kind of person would she be if she took their free drink and left?

What would your daddy say?

Fuck your daddy.

You deserve this, Regina. Go have fun.

Uncrossing her legs, she carefully slid off of the chair and adjusted her dress at the thighs. ‘I accept.’

They grinned in sync, showing off their darling smiles. It caused a knot to tie in her gut. By God they had to be angels sent from up above.

They turned as they both lended her their arms for her to grasp. Heat bloomed in her cheeks and her neck as she reached out to grab their biceps.

‘Oh my—‘ she giggled as she squeezed them both. ‘Such strong men I got! I’m a lucky girl.’ Regina purred as she looked up at the bearded one. ‘Shall we?’

‘We shall.’

***

They stared down at her with a desire only men in this time could only have.

Regina gripped the silk sheets in her sweaty fists as their studious glares began to roam her curvaceous body. Starting from her pink painted toes, her thick thighs, her hips and tummy, her breasts and finally… her pretty round, chunky face.

The woman felt like she was under a damn microscopic lense with how they were staring at her. Her thigh bounced vigorously. She couldn’t tell if they wanted to eat her or dissect her. Regardless, it scared the shit out of her.

‘Lassen?’ The fellow with the beard said softly.

‘Yes sir?’

Sir? Did these two work with one another?

‘You may start.’

‘Wait— wait…’ Regina called out first as the bearded one walked towards the floral embroidered chair and shrugged off his coat. ‘Could I know your names? I mean— I would like to know who I’m letting into my lady bits.’ She said humorously.

The one known as Lassen looked back at his comrade. And they gave one another a firm nod in approval.

‘My name is Anders Lassen and this is Gus March-Phillips. What is your name lovely?’

Anders and Gus. Should be able to remember that.

‘My name is Regina Carson…’

‘Mmm. Very pretty name, for a very pretty woman.’ Gus said as he began to unbutton his dress shirt.

An enamored grin curled up on her lips as her tongue gently grazed her pretty smile.

Her eyes then darted up to meet Anders as he pushed off his suspenders and pulled his tucked shirt from inside of his trousers. He then pulled the fitted shirt over his head and dropped it to the side of the bed.

Good lord, he had the body of a God. Muscles ripped and tight. Her mouth went to salivating almost immediately.

Grabbing her hand, he lifted her up to her feet and brought her body flush against his. He lifted her chin, bringing her lips up to meet his in a kiss.

Regina’s eyes fluttered closed as she purred at the welcoming warmth of his lips. At first, it was just him testing the waters but she quickly fell into place; opening her mouth allowing him to invade as he pleased.

Anders snaked his hands behind her, finding the fine zipper and dragging it down.

Suddenly, she felt the warmth of another set of lips on the nape of her neck. Regina tore her lips away from Anders as he began to help her out the sleeves of her dress. Her head lulled back against Gus’ shoulder before he brought her mouth into a kiss next. And just like Anders, she opened her mouth nice and wide for him.

His beard and mustache tickled her lips and cheeks.

Before she knew it, the three of them were fully nude.

The both of them stroked at their members; aching to feel how warm she was from the inside out. But first…

Gus carefully forced Regina to her knees before them. Her eyes grew in slight shock at the size of their members. Both uncut, veiny and hard enough to slice through bricks.

‘You don’t have to do this if you don’t want to, sweetheart.’ Gus said as his fingertips caressed her cheek softly before pushing her thick hair behind her ear.

‘No. I wanna.’ She shuddered out before sitting up on her knees, wrapping her hand around Anders cock and her lips around Gus.

Both of the men let out a pleasant groan in unison as she massaged one and sucked the other.

Careful not to show one too much attention though, she alternated and began to suck Anders off while stroking Gus. Anders’ knees buckled as she began to throat him just the same as she did with Gus.

‘Ugh, fuck.’

‘Just like that.’

The boys groaned at her teasing. She did everything she could to please them. Tightening up her lips, gagging against their cocks when they touched the back of her throat, squeezing and massaging their balls delicately. At her rate, they both would be making a mess of her in no time!

‘Stop.’ Gus grunted as he carefully pulled his hips away from her warm mouth. He shuddered before letting out a sigh. ‘Anymore of that and I’ll explode. Up.’

At his command, she placed her hand in his as she stood to her feet. ‘Anders… you first. I’d like to watch.’

‘As you wish.’ Anders said with a devious smirk.

Watch?! While she’s never done something this spontaneous and … sinful, she had no idea people were into watching other people fuck. But if it were to please her boys… she’d do whatever they asked.

She watched him walk over to the same chair and plop down; his hard dick swaying and slapping against his thigh.

‘Bend over, darling. Feel free to tap me if it’s too much. I will stop.’

Regina giggled as she bent over the bed. ‘Too much? Please.’

Spreading her thick thighs apart, Anders took a hold of his member and pressed it at her sticky entrance.

With a quick thrust, he stretched her against her will.

The poor woman let out a wail that was mixed with pleasure and undeniable pain.

Perhaps she spoke too soon.

Tears brimmed her eyes as she held her breath for a second, gripping the cool satin sheets.

Anders let out a blissful moan, holding himself deep inside of her as his large hands caressed up and down her curves and folds.

Gus had one leg draped over one arm over the couch as he stroked at his member, watching with excitement in his eyes and an intrigued smirk on his lips.

‘Fuck!’ Regina cried out before she felt him slam himself into her once more, his fingertips digging into her waist. ‘Dear God! Ah!’

A few thrusts and Regina was able to take this intruder comfortably now. With her eyes rolling to the back of her head, she thought she was seeing stars already.

Anders began to pound into her hard and fast before reaching down to grip her hair in his fist. ‘Yeah. Call out to him baby. He can’t save you now.’

She looked up at him through her thick lashes. ‘Ooooh— my god! Yes! Anders please!’ She pleaded as his body collided into hers relentlessly.

‘Oooh. Fuck, you feel so good baby. Take me. Take me baby.’ Anders hissed through his teeth.

‘Aaaaah yes!’

‘Fuuuck, nicely done Anders. Show her what you’re made of.’ Gus grumbled as he reached his free hand beneath himself and squeezed his tender balls.

Hissing through her gritted teeth, she looked over to watch Gus get himself off. His chest and biceps tense as he stroked his girthy, thick cock. Such a beautiful sight.

Anders pulled Regina’s hair, making her stand up straight against him. He wrapped his large veiny hand around her throat, forcing her into a disgusting kiss. His thrusts became a little slower and forgiven as one hand cupped her breast and his other arm wrapped around her waist, gripping her belly for stability.

When he broke the kiss, he began to ram his hips into her once again as her breathing hitched and strained. ‘Hoooo— yes, yes, yes!’

Finally, Gus stood from his seat and approached them. He landed a slap on Ander’s ass and jerked his head to the side. ‘Don’t be stingy, Lassen. She’s ours.’

Ours.

Anders groaned in dismay but obeyed. Landing one more kiss on Regina’s mouth, he retracted his hips and took place on the bed; propped up on his knees.

Gus looked down at the woman with gentle eyes, ‘tap out of it becomes too much sweetie.’ He leaned in and placed a gentle kiss on her lips before sucking her bottom lip between his teeth gently.

Drunken with lust and pleasure, Regina dizzily plopped down on her back and spread her thighs for him.

‘Aren’t you a pretty sight? Might have to give you a son… or marry you? What do you think, Lassen?’

Anders laughed darkly as he scooted down so his still erected cock was pressed against her cheek. ‘Pretty indeed. Now open up doll… I wanna see you put those pretty lips to work while you’re getting fucked.’

His words caused her to writhe in excitement. Her core was aching to be filled once more. She lifted her head and parted her lips as she guided his cock back into the home of her mouth.

Gus sank his teeth into his bottom lip as he pushed her thighs back and pushed his tip inside of her and began to slowly roll his hips into her.

Closing her eyes, Regina hummed against Anders cock causing a vibration to rumble at the back of her throat. ‘Ohh—‘ his head fell back as his hand held onto the back of her head. ‘Fuck! You’re so tight.’ He swallowed as he reached down toying and pinching at her hardened nipples.

Gus began to pick up the pace, his finger tips digging in her plushy flesh tightly. Forcing her thighs back as he delved his hips into her once more. He then reached down and began to rub at her erected nub softly.

‘Fuck! You look so pretty with Anders dick in your mouth.’

Anders groaned as he thrusted his hips forward into Regina’s mouth; anglelessly hitting all the spots in her warm, wet mouth.

‘Mmmm—‘ Regina cooed as she pulled her lips away to curse, using her hand to jerk off Anders. ‘Fuck, Gus! Please!’ She begged, her thighs twitched at the creeping sensation.

Gus thrusted fast as he rubbed her clit in circles a little faster.

‘Gus! Oh, my god!’ Her thighs began to tremble as she felt her womb tighten up. Her body stiffened and her chest tightened. Gus stilled his hips and focused on her. ‘I’m gonna—‘ Her back arched and her toes curled as the heat in her body popped off like fireworks on new years.

She released a scream that could be heard throughout the hotel. And with that scream, came a sudden burst from her loins. She exploded like a damaged fire hydrant.

Gus looked up at Anders in surprise and Anders returned the glare.

‘Whoa—‘ both of the men laughed in darkly.

‘Have you ever done that?’ Anders asked with a grin spread across his lips.

‘Quite a few times.. you?’

‘Once.’

‘Well, we shall see if we can get a few more out of her, yes?’

‘I’m with you sir.’

While both of the men experienced this kind of mess, she never experienced a pleasure so great. Her head throbbed as she tried to process what the fuck just happened. Her cheeks remained hot to the touch, her trembling lips sore from all of their sweet, heavy kisses.

‘Brace yourself sweetheart. We aren’t done with you yet.’

Anders and Gus laughed beguilingly as their large hands caressed over her sticky, brown flesh.

A glint of thrill shown in her sex-crazed eyes. She was hyped. ‘O-OK!’

With the stamina of these two men, Regina was sure she lost enough weight to fit into her graduation gown from high school.

She was fucked into exhaustion and dehydration, so she was relieved when they both announced their arrivals.

‘On the floor baby. Yeah— fuck look at you.’ Ander groaned as the both of them helped her to her knees.

‘Open wide baby.’ Gus added as they both began to stroke their members until they reached their climax.

Regina’s eyes gleamed, her hands massaging their muscular thighs that tensed and squeezed beneath her touch. She opened her mouth, tongue out to capture those sacred drops.

‘UGH! Ba—‘

‘Fuuuuuck… yes!’

The two men groaned aloud as they emptied themselves upon her pretty face and mouth. Wrapping her hands around the both of them, she squeezed and coaxed the rest of their nut out of them.

Gus’ knees buckled as his eyes rolled back halfway. Then, she gave them both a kiss on the tip of their now flaccid dicks.

Anders let out an exhausted sigh. ‘Oh. What do we do with you now.’

‘Well…’ Gus added, ‘I have quite a few ideas.’ He trailed off.

Wiping her face and flicking off the sticky semen, she looked up at them in horror.

Now what?

2 years later…

Regina clamped her eyes shut tight as she rested her lower hand on her lower back. ‘Ooh… my days.’ She rubbed at the roundness of her belly with her free hand, as the other carried out a metal tray of fresh lemonade and a couple glasses of ice.

She walked out to the backyard to see Anders flipping burgers at the grill with his “Kiss the Cook” apron on while Gus tossed a football to Betty’s husband, August. Betty was bouncing her sweet baby boy in her arms, showering him with kisses and love.

This was the life.

A smile curled on her lips when Anders sweet, gentle eyes landed on her. ‘Let me grab this for you.’ He rushed over and carefully took hold of the tray and placed it on the picnic table. ‘How’s my girls huh?’

‘The same as yesterday, Lassen.’ She sighed heavily and rubbed her pregnant belly, ‘Tired. Aching.’

‘Aw. I know sweetheart. Just a few more weeks.’ He said before placing a kiss on her head. ‘Sit.’

Gus sat the football down in the lush green grass and jogged towards the deck. ‘There’s my girl. Hey, mama.’ He mused as he placed a kiss on her lips. ‘How are you feeling?’

Regina pressed her lips together and glanced over at her other husband.

Anders stared at Gus for a little bit and chuckled, ‘To save you from her wringing your neck … she’s feeling the same as she did yesterday.’

Gus sighed softly, ‘Oh my sweet. Forgive me for asking. Is there anything you need?’

She shook her head as her head fell back against the lawn chair. ‘No my darlings… I’m fine.’

Regina closed her eyes for a long second before feeling a sudden wetness in her bottom.

Her eyes flashed open.

‘Boys.. I don’t think I’m peeing myself again…’

Keep Me Near Your Heart VII

It didn't take long for me and aemond to get to our shared chamber, the air was filled with a sense of melancholia and anticipation. As we made our way into our solar passing Ser Krey, I couldn't help but feel a twinge of unease. My heart felt too heavy and my chest felt like someone was squeezing it, I put my hand on my belly rubbing it trying to calm myself down, and return my baby kicked making my heart feel less heavy.

Once we were in our chamber, Aemond wasted no time in taking me to bed. I tried to push the uneasiness from my mind as we lay together, but I couldn't shake the feeling that something bad was going to happen. However, before long, the exhaustion of the day caught up with me, and the unsettling feeling slowly started to drift into the back of my mind as I drifted off to sleep.

Sometime in the middle of the night, I woke up to find myself alone in the bed. It took a moment for me to realize that Aemond was gone, and another moment for my worries to turn into anger. Feeling stupid for letting myself be fooled by Aemond's outward displays of affection, I toss the sheets and covers aside, sliding out of bed, to find and confront my husband. I pushed open the door, turning my head to look around the solar, a small hope that he would be there reading or sleeping on a settee, but nope, he was not there either.

I shook my head angrily and stalked towards the door, I slammed my fist into the door knocking trying to get the knights on the other side's attention, I paused waiting before going back to banging on the doors.

"Open this fucking door, right now. Or I swear to The Mother, you will have hell to pay--" Before I could finish my threat the door opened revealing Ser Krey, I glared at him, "Where is he?" I asked making the other man look hesitant before answering.

"Who--"

"Don't." I grit making Krey press his lips together, "Where is my husband." I asked again. 

Krey opened and closed his mouth as no one came out, the longer he stood there rambling like a fool, the longer my anger mounted. When no one words that could dwindle my feelings, I grab the neck of his chest plate making Krey's words fade away as he is brought to my eye level.

"Take me to my husband or I'll call my dragon to do." My threat hung in the air, and Krey's eyes flickered between mine as he thought, I let go of him when he finally nodded his head making him stand straight.

"I take you to him, my lady."                            

「                            ⊹₊♚₊⊹                           」

Krey was ahead of me as he led me through the halls, I rubbed my fingers together nervously.

What was I going to say? Was this a good idea, maybe I should go back.

I stopped at the thought before the uneasiness from earlier came back, a flutter in my tummy making me put my hand on my stomach feeling my baby move around. A warm feeling spread in my chest when I felt the baby kick, I looked down to the floor as tears welled in my eyes.

Something in me is telling me to turn back to go back to my chamber and forget about Aemind and whatever he is doing. But, how could I when he lied to me and used me, after he promised me she didn't mean anything, why was I so stupid to trust that he meant what he said, I shook my head angrily as the warm feeling turned cold in my heart, he lied he doesn't care about me or our baby? He never cared. I hate him.

"My lady?" I glance up at Krey as he stands at the end of the hall watching me with an unreadable look.

"...coming," I say softly, before continuing as he turns a corner.

A ping of fear plucked at my heart before a wave of anger and bitterness washed it. I was going to give him a piece of my mind, and after that, I will never speak to him again and I will make my sole mission that doesn't come near me or my baby.

I look around not knowing where we are, we are close to the queen's chamber you know that for sure, but what would Aemond be doing here?

"His chamber, m'lady." I look over at Ser Krey as he stands in front of me, he steps aside, revealing a black door with a dragon as a handle.

So, this is where he takes her, what an obvious place. He didn't even try to find a secure location to hide his infidelity, that bastard, that horrible cheating manipulative bastard.

A growl rambles through my chest, as I glare at the door where my supposed 'loving' husband is supposed to be. I move past Ser Krey with such haste that it takes him a moment to go after me and stop me from banging on Aemond's door, I turn my glare to Krey as he looks down at me with an unsure look.

"Are you sure about this, m'lady?" He asks low, making me furrow my brows.

"Of course, I am, why wouldn't I be?" I questioned angrily, Krey gave me a worried look.

"I just...think you should think about what you about to do," I frown a bit at the concern in her voice, "I just fear that whatever is behind that door, you might get hurt or worse your baby." I quirk a brow at him, why does he care if I get hurt or not, I knock his hand from my elbow and stare at him remembering what he did.

"Don't pretend to care about me." He frowns down at me.

"I do care about you, princess--" He starts.

"Shut up! Your loyalty lies with my husband, and that bastard, Ser Cole." He looks at me taken back, "Yes, I know that you took his side over mine, and lied to my husband for him." Ser Krey looks away from me with guilt and shame written on his face.

"I had no choice, Ser Ashford--"

"I don't care." I said making him look at me, "Because you weren't where you were supposed to be, I lost my baby and I had to live with that every day, " I croaked, Ser Krey looked at me with pleading eyes, he looked like he wanted to say something but choose again it.

"I...I'm sorry, m'lady."

I snarl keeping my bottom lip from trembling, "Too late, now get out of my way." I said elbowing past him, I stalked towards Aemond's door.

I stopped, putting my ear close to the door to see if I could hear anything, it was quiet, so I stepped closer pressing my ear to the door hoping to hear better. When I didn't hear anything I pulled back with a frown, maybe I was wrong, maybe was reckless and went for a walk, he was probably back in our chamber--

"Aemond," A sultry voice of a female thrill, loud enough to be heard through the door.

My heart clenched when I heard deep laughter that you never heard from Aemond fill the air before a familiar deep groan replaced it, my stomach churned feeling like I was going to throw up, I swallowed down the lump in my throat and started banging on the door.

I heard a hushed whisper, when the door didn't open I banged again with both fists, clenching my jaw to keep from yelling not wanting to give away that it was me. It took a minute before the door opened, I watched Aemond peek out but before he could register it was me. I shoved the door open causing him to stumble back as I made my way into his chamber, I looked around it was very aemond, everything was black or grey and there were books along with scrolls scattered on his desk.

"Jaenara." I ignored Aemond's shock and whipped around to face his bed to find the person I was looking for.

The darker-haired woman looked at me with wide and fearful eyes, she was holding the covers against her chest but you could see her naked shoulder, I glanced at aemond to see he was not wearing a shirt. I look back at the woman, observing her features, she was pretty I give her that.

"Jaenara, what--" I turn on my heels and stalk towards the door.

Aemond moved to touch me but dodged his hand and walked out of the room, Ser Krey was standing in the hall still with a downcast look.

"Jaenara, where--wait." Aemond was behind me.

I felt his hand on my shoulder, I turned quickly without thinking and slapped my palm across his cheek causing him to snap his head to the right. I step back taking his hand off my shoulder, he looks at me with a mixture of shock and anger, making my anger build.

"Your dead to me." Aemond looked taken back by my words before he had appeared.

"We talk about this later." I shook my head turning away from him, walking away when spoke again, "Ser Krey, make sure my sweet wife gets escorted back to our chamber--" I whipped around as I got near Ser Krey

"The hell with you!" I seethe, and he just sneers at me, Ser Krey grabbed my shoulder before I could stalk back to my bastard I called my husband.

"M'lady, please. Do as he says." I shrugged his hand off me and turned from him to walk down the hall with my hand on my belly.

I took deep breaths as I walked, my body felt like it was about to shut down, and I bit my lip to prevent myself from exploding. The nerve of him, to have the guts to laugh in my face after I caught him, I should have listened to jacerys, I should have never allowed myself to trust him. I should never have allowed myself to love him, bastard.

I groan stopping feeling a stir in my belly, I leaned against the wall as pain shot through me.

"M'lady, are you alright?" Ser Krey asked behind me, I grit my teeth and nodded before pushing myself off the wall, a sudden wave of nausea hit making me stumble causing Ser Krey to latch his hands onto my waist to steady me, "M'lady, if you are not feeling well you must tell, and I'll go get the masters." I shook my head biting down on my tongue.

"I'm fine..." I grunt, "...just get me back to my chamber," I ordered.

Ser Krey uttered something under his breath, and before I knew it u were getting lifted off my feet. My arm shot up to wrap around Ser Krey's shoulder, shooting him a look as he carried me in his arms.

"I'm not crippled, you fool. Put me down I can walk--"

"Not risky it, m'lady." He says, as I hold onto his chest plate for dear life, he is quiet for a minute as he walks before finally speaking,"...I know you think I don't care about you but I do..." he starts, I sigh resting my head on his shoulder keeping my eyes on the wall, "...more than you think, don't ask me why, I just do, ever since I first meet you I have only wanted to protect you." I stayed quiet not entertaining this charade, "Just want you to know that from henceforth on, I will protect you and my loyalty will only lie with you, princess. Always." I could feel his nose brushing against my forehead as he looked at me, I closed my eyes ignoring him.

He can say whatever he wants, he will not trick me into believing he truly cares.                              

「                            ⊹₊♚₊⊹                           」

Ser Krey set me down once we were in the solar, Enith came out of my chamber with a worried look.

"Princess, you worried me to death, where were you." She asked coming to my side, before grabbing my hand, I glanced at her before looking away and taking my hand from her grasp.

"I'm going to bed." Enith frowned before I walked passed her, I heard whispering behind me but shut it out as I walked into my room.

I put my hand on the side of my belly and climbed onto the bed, I moved the pillow belonging to Aemond behind me as I lay perched there. I patterned my fingers on my belly waiting for Enith knowing she was going to have a lot of questions, I looked to my half-open door when I heard the main door closed and a pad of feet coming my way.

Enith walks in coming over to stand at the end of the bed with her hands clasped together.

"You scared me half to death, you know." She started low," Where did you go, jaenara." She asked, I glanced away from her, I didn't want to talk about it or even think about it, but how could I keep this to myself?

I want to tell her everything but can't, I thought finding out the truth would have made it easy for me not to love aemond. Even though I hated him with every fiber of my being, I still loved him even if he didn't care that I found out about his infidelity.

A storm of emotions swirling inside me, and before I knew it tears welled up in my eyes as my mind played the deep rambling of his laugh through the door. He never laughed around me, he barely even smiled my way, gods why did he marry me, I never did anything to him. It was nice. I was kind to him, was that not enough? What did I have to do to get him to look at me like that or to love me like he did her?

I was given a chance to be with her but he chose to give me more pain, I felt the weight of betrayal and heartbreak crushing me, and I broke down in sobs.

"Oh, my lady." Enith rushed over to me, I covered my face with my hands as I sobbed harder, in an instant I felt Enith wrap me in her embrace, "Please, my lady, tell me what happened. Was it the prince? Did he do something to you?" She accused holding me to her chest.

"He...He..." I couldn't get the words out, it was too painful to say out loud. I felt a rumble in Enith's chest as she growled.

"Curse him. Did he put his hands on you? I swear to gods, I'll kill him if he did, jaenara." I sniff, moving my hand to wipe at my cheek, I shifted so I could look up at Enith with a teary smile.

"I wish I was like you, You are so brave and so fearless." I sniff downcasting, "Maybe, if I was a little bit like you I wouldn't be in this mess." Enith sighs from above before caressing my hair.

"You shouldn't be in this mess in the first place, you deserve better than Aemond. You deserve someone who will love you back unconditionally, not someone who only thinks about themselves." She said softly as her hand moved between my hair and my back, I swallowed moving close to her.

"That's the nicest thing anyone has said to me in a while." Enith chuckles making me join her.

"That's not funny," Enith says.

"I know but it's better to laugh than to cry, right?" Enith hummed.

"Right."

Enith laid her cheek on the top of my head as she started humming, a sweet song that I heard her hum around the solar as she cleaned up. The song was smoothing, and rocked us gently, swaying as I slowly calmed down.

"Are you ready to tell me, what happened, m'lady?" Enith finally asked, I sniff rubbing my eyes before nodding.

Enith pulled back to look at me, her hands were on my forearm, gently massaging them.

"...I woke up alone after aemond put me to bed, I had an inkling at the celebration of why aemond was being distant..." I pressed my lips together feeling them them begin to tremble, "So, I had Ser Krey take me to him and..." I shook my head, thinking couldn't finish the sentence, I heard Enith sigh sadly as she moved her hands to squeeze minds.

"Oh, princess, I'm so sorry you had to find out this way. I truly thought he would have some heart to break it off before the baby came. " Enith says sympathetic.

I nod my head before stopping after realizing what she just said, I look at Enith as she stares at our hands.

"Wait..." Enith looks at me as I take my hands back, "...you knew about her?" I  asked, Enith gave me a guilty look, and my heart felt heavy again, "Oh my gods." I whispered, moving away from her and causing Enith to frown.

"Jaenara--"

"How long?" I asked looking down at my covers.

"My lady--" Enith reached her hand out to touch me but I moved further away from her and snapped my eyes at her.

"I said how long," I hissed making Enith look at me with sadness before looking away.

"Since her arrival." My eyes widen, thinking if she was telling the truth that would mean..." You knew for three weeks and didn't tell me." I accused getting off the bed to look at her, Enith looked ashamed.

"It didn't want to overwhelm you with such news--" I let out a bitter laugh.

"Overwhelmed me? Rather than telling me my husband has been fucking some...some harlot this whole time, you thought to keep it a secret." I saw, that everything in my body was shaky I was so mad that she kept this for me.

"I was trying to protect you." Enith defends.

"Protect me! Here I thought it was me. That I did something wrong, that I said something to drive him away. Oh, gods." My hands went into my hair clenching it as I started to pace, "I blamed myself for weeks on end, cried myself to sleep, and you knew the whole time that he has been lying with that woman." I shouted looking back at her, causing her to flinch.

"I'm sorry--" I grabbed the candle holder next to me and threw it across the room making it smash against the mirror in the corner.

"I am sick of hearing that. You are not. None of you are." I cried putting my hands on my chest as everything began to feel too much, "I thought you care about me. Trusted you." I weep.

"I do, m'lady. I do care about you, please you have to understand why I did it." Enith had tears falling down her cheeks, as she got up and made her way around she tried to get me to listen, and I glared at her angrily moving away.

"No! I don't have to listen to you. You don't care about me, you never did you were just another person to keep me under his thumb." Enith shakes her head as she denies my claims, "I don't want to hear it! I want you out of my sight." I screamed.

"Jaenara, please--" Enith begged, I shook my head and covered my ears.

"Get out! Get out! Get out! Get out!" I repeated, "I hate you. I hate you all now. GET OUT." Enith duck as I threw one of my shoes at her. 

I march over to her and start pushing her towards the door, as zenith tries to reason with me, I feel a pain in my lower stomach but ignore it.

"I don't ever want to see you again." I gave her one last shove before shutting my door and slamming the lock in place to keep her out.

"Jaenara, please. Don't do this." Enith says, her voice muffled.

I put my back against the door, why was everybody against me, what did I do to deserve this life?

The pain from earlier returns but worse, I moan in pain as I bend over clenching my stomach. When the pain stopped I slowly made my way across the room, but before I could reach my bed another pain shot through me causing me to collapse. I tried to grab onto the settee but my hand slipped against it making me bump my side into the small table, knocking over a vase, causing a glass to break.

"Jaenara? What--What was that?" Enith called through the door, enith pulled at the handle frantically as she called my name again.

I was on my knees when I saw, the spots of blood on my nightgown. I whimper as I realize what is happening, I start to cry out as my body wreck in agony.

"Jaenara, please. Answer me." I only cried out harder in response as my baby tried to come into this world, "Guards! Ser Krey!" I took in deep breath, remembering what my mother did when she went into labor with Joffrey.

I used the little strength I had to crawl onto the settee to sit on the edge, I moaned clenching the cushions before parting my legs. I heard hurried footsteps before I heard Enith yelling, before being calmed down by Ser Krey. I flinch when the door banged as if someone ran into it, I look over at the door weakly as they do it again making the door shake.

I turn away as I suck in deep breaths, the baby was early and it was coming, rather I liked it or not. I lick my dry lips before biting down on my bottom lip, I push as I clench the cushions. I stopped taking a breather for a moment before pushing again, I couldn't help but let out a sharp yell as it felt like my body was being torn apart.

"Hold on, princess!" Ser Krey shouted through the door.

"Ahhh..." I yelled again as I pushed once again.

My legs shook when I felt pressure between them, I moved to drag my gown up over my knees as I got ready to hold my baby. I took in quick breath before pushing again, my painful groans soon turned into screams as I pushed as hard as I could.

My screams mixed with another's as I felt my baby slide out into my hands, I gasped before leaning back on the settee, and I chortled at my baby wailing. He was alive! I brought him closer and used my nightgown to wipe off the blood and grim before gazing at him. I mean her. It was a girl. Aemond wasn't going to be happy about this. 

Fuck him.

I don't care if his happy or not, I birth to a girl, my baby girl. My Visenya. I gazed down at her with wonder, she was small but not too small to worry, I brushed my hand over her head caressing it sweetly. I smiled widely when she opened her eyes, I could sense she was wondering where she was as she pulled the cutest face.

"Hello, beautiful." Visenya blinked slowly at me before her little arm reached up.

The door finally barged open making me look over it with frantic eyes, visenya started to cry again at the sudden loud noise. I looked down at her and held her to my chest, rocking her, trying to hush her cries.

"Gods be good." Ser Ashford said by the door.

"Oh, my lady." Enith's voice made me look over at her as she collapsed by my side.

"I'm calling her, Visenya," I said making Enith look from the baby to me, she gave a teary smile.

"A perfect name for the perfect baby." I smiled at that before looking down at my baby, "...jaenara, I am sorry for not telling you, I just...I just didn't want to stress you or baby, you have to understand that." I sigh moving my thumb to caress Visenya's cheek.

Before I was angry, mostly at aemond, and I took it out on Enith. I understand. If she had told me weeks ago, I'd probably have done what she said, stress myself out by putting me and my baby in harm's way. She was right to keep it from me, even though deep down I wish I knew, so I didn't have to waste time worrying about aemond and focus on getting him back.

"Thank you..." I look at her, "...I'm sorry too." Enith smiles at me before maester orwyle comes around.

"We must check the babe, princess." I looked at him warily, keeping a secure hand on my baby's back, "I promise you will get her back once you all rested up." I frown as he nears with wetnurses and servants, he takes a vial out of his robe with a milky substance in it, "...for the pain." He says handing it over to Enith, there was a stir in my gut that was telling me not to give him my baby,

"It's okay." I look at Enith, and she smiles at me making me feel less worried, "I'll be with her the whole time, and once you wake we will be the first you see." Enith held out the vial for me, I was hesitant for a minute before taking the vial out of her hand.

Enith gently grabbed the baby from me, and my heart clenched as Visenya let out a whimper. I watched as Enith stood up and followed maester Oswyle, soon Ser Krey came to stand by my side.

"Do you need help getting up, my lady?" I look at him before turning to watch Enith and the maester walk out of the room.

"No...I-I got it." I used the arm of the settee to get up, and Ser Krey's hand shot up to catch my arm before I stumbled. He removed his hand once I was steady, he put one arm around my waist as the other held my left hand, and he helped me to my bed.

I wince as I climb up on the bed with little assistance from Ser Krey, I settle against the headboard as Krey puts the covers over my middle.

"Don't forget your medicine, my lady." Krey says finally stepping back to look at me, I nod my head looking down at the vial in my hand, "You were so brave, princess." He says making me look at him, "I'm happy you okay." I hummed before looking at the vial.

"Thank you," I mumbled, I twisted the vial in my hand as I made Krey step away from my bed.

I sigh before uncorking the vial, I look over at the open door before turning my attention back to the vial. I took a deep breath before taking a sip of the poppy's milk, the taste was odd, I corked in the vial and set it on the side table. I sigh again, looking up at the ceiling, my body hurts but not as much as it did when I was pushing Visenya out. I squeeze my eyes shut before opening them, feeling them grow heavy, I blink up at the ceiling of my bed, focusing on the pattern of the fabric.

Slowly I could feel myself drifting off, the sounds around growing muffled, as I shut my eyes just to rest them for a few. The last thing I heard before I fell into a deep slumber, was a feminine voice that sounded gentle but slight edge.

Keep Me Near Your Heart XV

"How's anyone seen, Daeron." I ask walking up to the table for breakfast, " I went to fetch him for breakfast, but he wasn't in his room." I look at Aemond as I stood beside his chair, his hand comes up to rub circles on my growing belly as he admires it with a smile.

"He's probably in the courtyard with Ser Cole," I frown at the mention at the knight, Aemond knock his hand against the chair next to him before pulling it out, "Come sit, my love." Aemond drag his hand down to tap the seat, I move from his other side to take the seat next to him.

The servants were quick to fill my plate with food before stepping back, Aemond move his hand from the table to put his hand on my stomach, his hand miss a few inches making me grab his hand and place it where he wanted it to do. Aemond's hand rested on my belly, the low chuckling from across the way made me look up with a death glare, Aegon swallow down his laughter when his eye  connect with mine.

He looks away from me as he hide behind his cup, I roll my eyes and sat back in my chair.

The arrival of the babe was just a few weeks away, I would be happy about finally meeting my sweet child if it wasn't for the fact that the queen thought it be a good idea to send invitations to everyone in the family to come celebrate the arrival of the babe. I am still conflicted about having to see my mother and aunt after nearly a year of not talking, my mother I don't really care about but I am afraid of dealing with rhaelle since I promise her I write her every chance I get.

The sounds of the door opening from behind made me turn, Daeron stalk in with a upset look and not too far behind was Alicent and her trusted knight, Ser Cole, I watch as he pulled out a chair next to Aemond and cross his arms. I eye Daeron curiously before glancing at Alicent as she take her seat at the head of the table, she had a neutral look on her face as she got settle, I take a quick glance at Ser Cole before looking away.

It was quiet as we ate, only the sounds of forks scraping against the plates and the soft muttering from Helaena was the only thing that filled the air. It felt intense. I look at Aegon to see him eyeing Daeron, I squint before shifting in my chair making it creak.

"Is something wrong?" I look up and look at Alicent as she lean forward with her hand folded under her chin.

"N-no, just...trying to get comfy." Alicent hummed before leaning back and snapping her fingers.

"Go fetch the princess a more comfortable chair to eat in, please." Alicent commanded, but I spoke up stopping the servant from moving and alicent to look back at me.

"It's fine. I just need to stretch my legs," I lean forward a bit to look at daeron who was glaring at his food, "Daeron, do you wish to join me--"

"No." He bluntly said catching me off guard.

It was out of character for daeron to refuse to accompanying me, he usually be very happy to join but his harsh tone took me by surprise.

"Daeron." Alicemt called sternly, I glance at her as she gives a look to her youngest.

Daeron sigh with a growl and turn his head towards me, "Thank you for the offer but I must decline, jaenara." I frown.

"Are you sure--"

"Yes, I'm sure why wouldn't I be." He snapped, I gape at him taken back, "Can you leave me alone already." Aemond glare at him.

"Watch how you talk to my wife--"

"Shut up." He snapped again looking at his brother.

"Daeron!" Alicent hissed.

Daeron snap his head at his mother, he saw the look she was giving making him growl again and scoot his chair back.

"I'm going to godswood, no one bother me." He snips talking away from the table, I could help but stand and watch him leave the hall.

"What was that about." I ask to no one in particular as I stare at the door.

"He's just...moody," Alicent started making me glance at her as she sip from her cup, "All boys act like that at his age," I put my hand on my stomach with frown.

"I think you meant to say brat, mother." Aemond states looking at his plate as he stab his eggs, "A bit of discipline can fix that." He added.

"Your brother doesn't need any discipline, aemond. His just a child, if I remember you were the same when you were his age." Alicent took her cup again to put it to her lips as she looks at her son.

"Yeah, that's because someone took my eye out." He replied before shoving food into his mouth.

Alicent swallow her wine before clearing her throat and remaining silent, I look at aemond as I put my hand up to scatch at the back of neck near his hair making shudder slightly. His hand went to my lower back, rubbing it in a comforting way.

He thinks we are good, that our marriage is saved and secure. I thought it would be hard to pretend to love him again, but thanks to aemond and the baby inside me, it was easy for me to get my way nowadays.

"What was that, Aegon?" I snapped back to the present and glance between Aegon and Alicent as she stare at her with stern look.

"Nothing, mother. I do not know what I am saying I'm a bit drunk." Aegon replied with a small smirk as he swirl his wine in his cup.

I furrow my brows and look at helaena as she look at aegon with a sad frown, I tilt my head slightly trying to figure out what just happened.

"Hela." I called making the young princess look at me with wide eyes, "Do you wish to go for a walk with me?" Helaena gape for a second before closing her mouth and nodded, I smiled and held out my hand making her get up.

She took it and walk around the table to link our hands, I look at aemond as he wipe his mouth with the cloth.

"I'll be back in a few, husband. Do not forget that we going to visit the younglings later." I said pointly making him look up at me with a small smile.

"Of course, my love." I hum before binding down to kiss his cheek, he turn his head instead to capture my lips.

I pulled back smiling before stepping away from the table, helaena and I walk towards the double doors, I heard talking once we close the door. I didn't need to stay to hear what they were saying, if it was about daeron she will found out why the young boy has been in such a moody.

We walk through the garden hand and hand, I gaze at the different colors of flowers as helaena stare off in her own head.

"Helaena." I called as I stare at a bed of black locusts, I look at her just as she looks at me, "Have you notice something is bothering daeron, he seems highly upset about something." Helaena glance away with a look that told me all I needed to know, "....Helaena." I drawl out with a look, helaena looks back at me with a meekly look.

"...the dragon has been strip of his wings, he lives in turmoil...no thanks to the wolves." I furrow my brows and tilt my head at her words, it was always hard to understand helaena's riddles as a child.

Even now as a adult it's hard to understand what she is saying.

"What does that mean?" I asked stopping in our tracks, helaena looks unsure as she averted her gaze.

"...you must seek him out to understand." She whispered looking back at me, I frown for a moment before nodding my head.

I loop my arm through helaena's arm, we continued our walk through the garden. My thoughts go to daeron, the way he acted at breakfast and the way Alicent was acting towards Aegon, it obvious they hiding something and I rather not wait to found out.

「                            ⊹₊♚₊⊹                           」

Godswood was empty. After escorting Helaena back to her chamber to attend to her children, I came to gidswood in hopes to find daeron, so we could talk. I look around as I walk further towards the tree, once under I heard sniffing, I  walk around the tree only to found no one. I frown before I heard rustling in the trees, u look up and through the branches and leaves I could see daeron hiding up there.

"Daeron? What are you doing up there, get down before you hurt yourself." I move around to get a better look at him, he glance at me before quickly turning his face to hide.

"Leave me alone." He voice was rough as  if he been crying.

"Daeron, what's going on." I ask looking up at the tree, my hand went to my belly  feeling anxious at how high he was. 

"Go away." I sigh desperately looking up at him.

"Please, Daeron. I only came to see if you were okay."

"I'm fine! Are you happy? Now, leave me alone." He snapped causing me to look up at him sadly.

"Daeron, please come down, whatever is on your mind we can talk–" Daeron turn his head to look down at me with a scrunch up red face.

"I don't want to talk you, or anyone at that matter." He hissed every word filled with vemon, "So, fuck off." He added turning away again.

I huff through my nose looking up at him, I look at the tree for a minute before stepping towards it and getting on my tippy toes.

"What are you doing?" He asked.

"If you won't come down and talk, then I come up." I said holding on to the tree before lifting my foot to try to climb.

"Jaenara just leave me alone, and stop that! Before you hurt yourself." I shook my head as I boost myself up as I grab onto the branch before pausing to look up.

"I'll stop if you talk to me." Daeron's eyes held so much conflict that his silence made me move again, I gasp when my foot slip but lucky enough I was still holding tight on the branch.

"Jaenara! Stop it. You going to hurt yourself and the babe, do your being stupid." I let out a breathless chuckle.

"Well, I do stupid things for the people I love, I don't know what to tell you." I utter but by the way daeron was silent made known he heard me, I yelp sliding down the body of the tree to land on my butt, "...ow." I mutter, I heard daemon gasp and call my name, the sound of rustling made me look from me rubbing my bottom to daeron getting out of the tree to come to my side.

"By the gods, jaenara. Are you okay?" He asked worried making me give him a reassuring smile.

"I'm fine just fell on my butt." Daeron grabbed my elbow helping off the ground, I brush off the dirt from my dress before looking at daeron, "Daeron, I'm sorry..." The young prince look at me with a mixture if confusion and shock, "...I know I put you in a situation you didnt want to be in, but the way you been acting has me worried about you." I confess.

Daeron looks down meekly with a defeated look, "You know whatever it is that is bothering you, you can tell me right. You know I will not judge you." Daeron sniffle moving his hand to wipe his nose on his sleeve.

"But, you will be angry with me." He utter making me give him a look.

"I can never be angry at you, nothing can make me mad at you." I reach my hand to touch his cheek only for him to flinch away, I frown at the way his eyes welled when he look at me, "...Daeron, whatever it is I promise you on my aunt and everyone I love life that I will not be mad at you...never. You mean too much to me for me to ever hold any anger in my heart for you, so i ask again, please tell me what is wrong. " Daeron's chin started to wobble a bit along with his bottom lip, before I knew it he throw his arms around me and sob.

The sound that came from my uncle broke my heart, it felt like someone was squeezing it making it hard to breathe. I slowly wrap my arms around him, my hand move to massage his hair as he cries.

"...I-I didn't want to go...b-but aegon made me," Daeron wept, "...I'm sorry, jaenara...I'm so so sorry," My head was spiraling to what he was apologizing for, and as I sense a feeling in my gut that made me hold Daeron to me tighter.

My mind goes to aunt rhaelle and uncle daemon, a memory that I don't remember played in my head and soon a feeling of anger spread through my body.

"It's alright, daeron." I rub his back, "...everything's going to be alright, sweet boy." I whispered burying my face in his hair before kissing his hairline.

「                            ⊹₊♚₊⊹                           」

I watch Daeron's sleeping form in my bed, once we came back to my chamber, daeron finally explain what been eating at him. Once he was finish, he went back to crying and I held him as he did, I didn't know what to do but sooth him and assure him that I wasn't angry with him. I shook my head and pushing those thoughts aside hearing the a gentle knock at the door.

I turn around and opened the door to see Enith, she smiles at me and I return the gesture. I step aside and she walked in her eyes going straight to daeron, i could see in her eyes that she was confuse and worried to see Daeron here.

"I must go." I said making Enith turn her attention back to me, "I'll won't be gone long." Enith frown a bit.

"Where are you going?" She asked, my eyes bounce over to daeron before going back to Enith.

"To have a little talk with aegon." I respond, "If he wakes tell him that I'm running a errand, okay." Enith's brow twitch before nodding her head, I smile at Enith before turning on my heel.

I close the door behind me and make my way down the corridor, I half expected Enith to stop me, to talk some sense to me. I know she knows that something is wrong and that visiting Aegon is out of character for me, I wonder if she knows about what happened to daeron with her witchy powers.

I turn the corner before stopping when I see Aemond coming down the hall, it took a moment for him to notice me and he smiled my way.

"My love, I was just about to come see you...." He smiles widely, I glance around thinking, if aemond founds out I was going to see Aegon. He definitely would stop me, but I can't let aegon's action go unpunished nor can I let aemond take care of it.

I have no doubt he pick his brother's side over thus.

"Jaenara." He called softly standing in front me, I look up at him as he stare down at me with curious expression.

"Sorry, my love. What did you say?" I ask moving around, he follow suit and walk beside me.

"I was thinking about names for the babe," he says, I hum telling him to continue, "I have two I wish to name our boy, the first is Alaric a masculine name from my mother. She says it means all powerful ruler." I glance at him as he grins, I refrained from rolling my eyes, there was no way in all seven hells I was naming my boy after that fool wench.

"And the other one." I ask.

"Maegor." I stop and turn to him with a look, "...I know but I doubt our son will end up like maegor the first, and beside I think he can give different meaning to the name. Imagine, he could be maegor the clever or maegor the righteous." He smirk at the thought, I could only hum in response before continue on my way.

It was quiet between us, my mind was wielding on what I was going to do once I get to Aegon's chamber. I was stomp. I didn't know why I was doing this or why I was making it into something more than what it was, maybe I wanted to show daeron that I cared and that I am with him. Something in the back of my mind was telling me how stupid it is to confront aegon about taking daeron to the brothel, he was a boy, I understood that men should know what to expect during their consummation. But, the way daeron was acting says there was more but he was still afraid to tell me, and something deep in my gut told me that I had to do this. That I had to protect  him.

I was brought back to the present by Aemond's hand on my wrist stopping me from going towards Aegon's door.

"Why are we visiting Aegon." Aemond ask looking at me.

"We're not. I am." I replied moving to step forward only to be stopped again.

"Why." He demanded making me give him a look.

"I have something to ask." I said with a edge in my voice to show aemond I wasn't in no mood for him or his jealousy.

"What about?" He asked again with a annoyed look, I glare at him before I could tell him none of his business.

Aegon's door opened making us look over, a servant with wild red hair appeared with a tray in one hand. She look at us in shock before fixing her face and averting her eyes, she bow towards us acknowledging our presents before swiftly stalking away down the hall leaving Aegon's door open. I slip my from Aemond's grasp and he called my name as I walk into the room, I stop a few feet away from the door as I scrunch up my nose at the odor in the room. It didn't take long to realize what just occur in here, I look over at aegon as he stood at the table with a cup in his hand wearing nothing but his trousers.

I cleared my throat catching Aegon's attention, he grin and open his arms to me.

"Neice, what do I owe you and my one-eye brother visit." He ask pulling out a chair and taking a seat, I glare at him at the insult towards aemond.

"Always nice to see you sober, brother." Aemond replied from behind me as Aegon grab a apple from the bowl in the middle on the table before biting into it.

"Oh, Aemond. You know I only jest, little brother." Aegon smirk.

I heard Aemond growl making me step forward catching Aegon's attention, "Apologies for the intrusion, uncle. But, I hoping you can shed some light on something for me." Aegon look at me surprised before he nodded his hand.

"Alright." He sat up straight in his chair with his leg resting on his thigh.

I gave a breif smile before speaking, "Daeron has told me on his and yours visit to the brothels in fleabotton..." Aegon raise his brow before a grin cross his lips.

"And you wish to visit, sweet neice. I am flattered that you wish attend with me, I am sure I can find a man there who be happy to fuck your flower...even with your predicament. " He glance at my stomach before looking at me, I scoff in disgust.

"That's not--"

"I always knew you were a cuck, brother." Aegon spoke over me to look over my shoulder at his brother, "He used always peek inside to watch me, the little freak." He chortle before looking back at me.

My brows twitch making my mind wonder for a moment before I shook my head, "What happened at the brothel?" I said cutting to the chase, aegon grabs his cup before stopping it near his lips.

"What do you mean? It sorta obvious what we did there." He says, I furrow my brows as aegon drink from his cup.

"What did Daeron do there?" I asked wanting to clarify on what daeron was doing.

Aegon look at me before looking at his brother who move to stand next to me.

"Is the pregnancy getting to her brain already, brother. Or is this what you been complaining about to mother about." He said making me clench my jaw.

"I have no idea what your talking about, jaenara let's go so we can leave my brother to drown in his cup in peace." Aemond turns to me touching my arm but I ignore him as my patience

"What don't you just come out and say it," I snap crossing my arms over my chest, aegon narrow his eyes at me as if trying to figure me out.

"Why do you care?" He asked.

"Because something happened and I want to know what it was." I shouted.

Aegon gave a eyeroll before draining his cup before slamming it down on the table, "It simple, neice. I took Daeron there to make him a man, and last I remember he left satisfied." I eye him.

"I beg the differ." Aegon scoff before looking away from me.

"You know brother I use to envy the fact that you got our sweet neice while I got stuck with helaena," Aegon sneer, "But, now I see that the gods where on my side by sparing me eternity with her."

"Well, your not a gift from the gods either Aegon," I snark back making him snap his eyes at me with a glare, "All you ever done is drink and fuck your way through life‐‐"

"And I will die a happy man because of it, neice." He grins.

"Yes, a happy and deserted man surrounded by nothing but whores who wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire." Aegon smile falter to angry frown.

"Maybe, but atleast I can count on a whore to shut her mouth and take my cock."

"Is that why you like them more, uncle? Because unlike the ladies in court or the servants here, they would rather slit their throats than be touch by a foul thing like you." Aegon grits his teeth.

"You little wh--"

"Alright, that's enough." Aemond shouted as he move to stand between me and aegon, he turn to me with a look, "Jaenara, we're leaving. Whatever this is doesn't concern us--" I snap my gaze to ae.ond.

"If not us than who then." I snapped angrily, aemond looks mildly taken back, "Are we really going to ignore that he took a child to a brothel, and allow him to have his virtue taken from him without a second thought." Aemond was silent at my words.

Aegon let out a snicker making me look at him, "Virtue? Is that what he got that from...you?" Aegon let out another snicker making me grow angry, "All that talking about waiting until marriage all came from you, gods I would have thought your marriage with my brother would have taught you something, stupid girl." He smirk making me rise my chin with a stern look.

"I learn a lot from my marriage, including how to rise above insufferable people." I spat, "That what makes me better than you and your mother, and that is also why daeron will always be better than you too." Aegon's expression was cold and hard.

I turn my back to him feeling proud to make him feel as low as he should, aegon was nothing but a arrogant and spoiled, no thanks to his mother and grandfather.

"That fucking prat is not better than me, his a craven who couldn't stop crying throughout the whole thing like a baby." He snapped angrily, "And then ran off sobbing like a little girl who got her favorite gown ruined, I am way better than that whimpering little shit." Aegon spit out making me turn to him, he was standing with his hands in fists and his wife twisted.

"He was crying?" I whispered.

Aegon looked just as equally taken back by his words than me, he stuttered for a second before getting the words out.

"...w-whimpering, he was whimpering--"

"And you didn't think to stop them." Aegon wore a look before shaking his head as a scowl return to his features.

"There was nothing to stop he was moaning...he was enjoying himself." Aegon sounded almost like he was defendeding himself, I couldn't help but look at him a certain way making him take notice and snap, "I dont have to explain myself to you, if daeron wanted to stop he would have. But, he didn't. He liked it--"

"How can you be so sure." I blurted, "You said he was crying and that he ran out, did you go look for him to see if he was okay?" Aegon stay silent, "Did you really think he was enjoying himself--"

"Aemond did the same thing, and he came back the next day and got his cock sucked." Aegon said exasperated, I look at him in disbelief.

"Did daeron come back the next day, aegon?" Aegon was silent once again, a feeling in my stomach made me feel sick making me place my hand on top, I couldn't help but glance down at my belly and wonder what I would do if that happened to my baby boy, my flesh and blood.

"It was nothing...he was exaggerating." Aegon finally utter, I look at him with a disgusted look.

"If it was helaena in his place would you think she was exaggerating," Aemond and Aegon looked at me with a mixture of emotions that she could only describe as anger and fear, "What about your little boy, jaehaerys, would you think it was nothing if daeron dragged him into one of those places and ignore his cries. Would that be nothing, uncle." Aegon turn his head with conflicted look, I blink trying to get rid of the hot tears, "No child should to have to go through that, and no parent shouldn't have to watch their little boy have the light snuff right out of them." Aegon bowed his head as his lip twit into a snarl.

"Get out of my room." He demanded not looking up.

I turn on my heels without a word or fight, I left the room leaving aegon and aemond in the uncomfortable silence. It wasn't long before awmond catch up with me, he grab my elbow stopping me in the hall, I face him bit didn't look at his face but rather his collar.

"Are you okay?" He asked, I furrow my brows before straighten them to look up at aemond.

"I'm not the one you should be asking that to." I replied with a dry tone, aemond nod looking embarrassed and went quiet.

I look down as his hands slide down my arm to grab my hands after a moment of silence between us, he let out a deep sigh, "What do you want me to do?" He asked as if wanting to know what his next order was from me, I look back up at him with a confuse and unsure look.

A devious thought crossed my mind, I was hesitant for a second contemplating if I should say it out loud or not. But, the words aegon said not too long ago played in my head like a taunt, and my anger once again flared.

"I would like you to found out what brothel aegon took daeron, and set fire to it with those whores inside." The words came out steady and clear, my words didn't mush together or come out shaky. It was clear what I wanted, aemond pulled me close so he could rest his chin on top my of head as he hold me.

"I'll do." He whispered, "I'll do anything for you, anything."

Keep Me Near Your Heart X

Aemond was quiet the whole trip into the market and the carriage ride, I didn't  know if I should be worried or relieved, so I picked the latter ignoring the look he sent meant me.

I admire my gown, it was white gold with golden stitches of flowers in the middle of my midway, and short see through sleeves.

I heard Aemond cleared his throat making me look away from my gown to him, he looked annoyed and bothered at the same time making me raise my brow.

"Yes?" Aemond glance away before looking at me.

"You...Why did you do that."

"Do what?" I asked tilting my head to the side.

"You know what." He snapped making me give Aemond a look.

"You have to be more specific husband, I can't read your mind." Aemond rolled his eye.

"Why did you give that boy your ring?" Aemond questioned mad, " My mother put in effort buying you that gift you just gave it away, are--"

"I didn't give away the ring out of spite of your mother, Aemond." I roll my eyes, "It didn't even cross my mind that she brought it for me, I gave it to the boy because he looked like he haven't eaten in weeks." I finished.

Aemond was quiet again, I look at him to see him with a space out look like he was thinking about something.

"...so, you did it out of the kindness of your heart?" Aemond replied mockingly making me pull a face.

"Obviously, what else would I do it for? Unlike your mother, I don't need to pretend to me be a benevolent woman to hide my self righteousness." I turn away looking out of the window, looking out at the passing shops and stands.

I didn't turn away when I heard Aemond's shift around, but u did turn my head slightly feeling something rub against my foot and ankle making me glance at Aemond.

"What are you doing." I ask flatly

He smiled when he look at me.

"I am feeling a bit peckish," He moves to lean forward before getting off the bench to get on his knees in front of me, "And I remember vaguely you promising me a sweet for a my hard work."

A small smirk appeared on my lips at his words, I drone softly nodding my head.

"I did promise that, didn't I." He nodded his head in response as his hands drag down my skirt, "Well, a promise is a promise. Close your eye." Aemond look back up at me with a furrow brows confused, "If you want your treat you must close your eye, my prince." Aemond a frown a bit before doing what I did, i grab the pouch that sat next to me.

I opened it up taking one sugar grape between my fingers, I lean forward pressing the candy against his lips.

"Open up, my prince." I said sultry, and like before he did what I said making me  pushing the candy inside his mouth gently.

He opened his eye staring as he latch his lips around my index finger, making me pull my hand back with giggle. He smirk at me as he eats the sugar grape, I take one out for myself and pop it in my mouth before leaning back, moving the pouch to the side.

"How does your treat taste," I ask with a sly smile, Aemond hums as he swallow.

"...sweet."  I felt my skirt lift a bit and cold hand touch my ankle before trailing up and stopping at my calf, "But, I wish for something more sweeter," He grins when I roll my eyes, he didn't waste time before lifting my skirt and putting over his head.

I shook my head trying not to smile when he bit me, I put my hands over my face when I felt him get closer. I sigh into the palm of my hand as he indulge himself to me, sometimes he make it hard to stay silent, I wish he wait when we got back to the castle. I swallow griting my teeth at the tingly sensation in my stomach, I drag my hands on my face holding on to the bend and aemond's head.

I roll my hips alignment with him as he bring me close to the edge, I shudder biting down on my lip as a moan stayed stuck in my throat.

Aemond pulled away as I watch lazily, his hair was a bit disheveled, he comb his fingers through it before getting up and moving the pouch from next to me to take its spot. He got another sweet out and pop it in his mouth, before doing the same to me, he press it against my lips wanting for me to open until I did.

The rest of the ride was spent in silence, as we shared the sweets together.                       

「                          ⊹₊♚₊⊹                           」

The sun was slowly going down when I sat in my chamber in my afternoon gown, waiting on Enith return, just as I was thinking about the handmaid the door to my chamber opened making me look to see Enith.

She smiled at me with her hand behind her back, making me look at her curious.

"Before you asked, yes there is something behind my back, and yes I did lie to you about what I was really doing." I raised my brow at her amuse as she walks towards the bed and sat down, "I just hope you like it," she took her hand from behind her back, and opened her palm to reveal a bronze oval locket with a three headed dragon attached to a matching bronze chain.

Her thumb press the side making it open, she open it wider revealing a drawing inside. My heart weight heavy with sadness and joy at the face of my daughter, I put my hands over my mouth as I stare with welled up tears in my eyes.

"I had the blacksmith make the locket, and I drew the portrait." I look up at her in surpised moving my hands.

"You drew this?" She nodded her head, I look down at the portrait again, "It's beautiful...you captured every detail of her virtuous little face, it's..." I stopped myself feeling the lump grow in my throat as I kept my emotions down, I look back at Enith with a teary smile, "...this is the greatest gift you can give me, Enith, thank you." Enith smiled bowing her head bashfully.

"Thank you, your highness." I smiled at her before handing the locket back making her look at me.

It took her a second after I turn around to realize what I wanted her to do, I move my hair hair put of the way waited patiently as she put the necklace around my neck. It didnt take long for her to put over my neck and clamp it in the back, I turn around feeling her lean back and hug her.

Enith took in a sharp breathe before I pulled away, she look at me with grimace making me frown worried.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

Enith massaged her temple before looking at me, she dropped her hand and gave a strain smile.

"I-I'm fine, princess." She stuttered, "Just a headache." She promised.

My frown deepen, I couldn't tell if she was lying or telling the truth, her words didn't match her face. She looked in pain for a moment before a look of relief dawn her features, maybe she was right about the headache, I can only imagine the stress she caused herself for picking out my present.

"Okay," I drawl out looking at her unsure.

I glance around the room not sure what else to say, I flicker my eyes over to enith when I knee she wasn't notcing and find her looking at my lap with scrunch up furrow brows as if thinking. I put my hands on my lap as they tap my thighs, enith looks away to look at me but I was fast enough to look away.

"You should get ready for the feast," Enith started after a moment, she stood going over to the gown I picked out earlier today at the table, "Very cute gown, my lady." She compliments admiring it as she takes it in her hand, "A cute gown for a beautiful princess." She turns smiling at me.

I smiled back with a less beaming one like Enith, I always feel a tad bit embarrassed and thankful when Enith compliments me. She reminds me so much of Valaena and Alyssa, they like my aunt and alyaena always had this power to make me feel noticed. They make me feel included and seen, if it wasn't for them I have no doubt everyone else will forget about me.

I'm grateful for that. Because sometimes I forgot about myself too, sometimes when no one haven't talk to me for a long period of time I forget that I'm a girl and sometimes imagie myself as a ghost. I remembered roaming around the castle passing by old paintings or statues of dragons and the decease, going into vacant rooms just to linger and move on.

I don't know why I always felt that way, it wasn't like everybody in the castle didn't like me, they just forget I was there sometimes. My fault mostly, I didn't speak a lot or to a lot of people and do much of anything outside my chamber, I was closed off like Maekar but not as scary or gloomy like him.

I always had Alyaena to play with and thay was enough for me, but the more I grew and aly started trying new things, I started realizing how much I hate being a ghost. When I found i was going to get married ro aemond, half my thoughts was a filled with worries while the other half was filled with glee thinking getting married would be a great way to do more and get seen.

And I was right for a while, aemond noticed me, he "liked" me but it was all a lie. I thought I would grow into a woman like my aunt rhaelle, beautiful and strong, but all i became was weak and useless. Being lied to, cheated on, and losing the only light that made it possible to live  in this dark didn't turn me miserable or bitter like I thought it would. It rather made me sensible and shrewd to my surprise, all because of enith, she was there by my side through it all, she always felt like a big sister watching over me, deep down in some way I don't know how to explain it...but she saved me.

「                            ⊹₊♚₊⊹                           」

"...can you believe what happened between Lord Myre and Lady Flint," Whispered Lady Shiphard to the other women as I stand in circle with them.

The other women gathered closely to her with a mixture of curiosity and contain excitement in their eyes as they whispered back to her to tell them, I stand like I usually do with a bored look, out of the huddled circle of ladies watching from the sidelines with Enith and Ser Krey behind me.

I care little for their gossip, since it just them being plain mean and bad-mouthing the other ladies of court. 

What I always forget to mention to my dear husband about my new "friends" is that they are twice my age and not my friends but his mother's pets who enjoy causing others misery and picking at dead things...like vultures.

They just like Alicent or rather Alicent is just like them, since they were three older woman who looks to have been alive since king jaehaerys's reign while the other four was a bit close to be the queen's age.

"...Let's just hope this one lives." Lady Rosby spoke.

I look up at them as they nodded their heads in agreement, while standing apart looking at each other.

"Yes, hopefully...but.." Lady Weaver started as she look from her nails to the others, "You all know how much I adore Sosan, she's a sweetheart, but I don't believe she's make the best mother," She shrugged with her shoulders nonchalantly, "I mean, look at how she handles her step children, not one of them speaks with her with a ounce of respect like they did their mother." Lady Weaver shakes her head in dismay, she pause what she was going to say next as a servant came with a glasses, after every lady took a glass I receive my own, "I'm not saying this to be rude but the gods are clearly doing her a favor not giving her a child..." Lady Weaver speaks as she twirl her wine, "...not every woman can be patient and strong like us, this new line of women are becoming too soft for my liking." She said with a lofty tone.

Lady Weaver was around the queen's age maybe younger, she like every other lady in this group was traditional and like how things are. She believe men should provide while women should support, which is not surprising or unrare to hear, but she also thinks man should only rule and that woman shouldn't be given the power to do so. So, I can only imagine while she told me these things for the first time we meet that she didn't like me or like the idea that my mother was going to be queen of the seven kingdoms after Viserys's death.

"Urg, don't I know it, my own daughter-in-law can barely disciplined a 6 year old," Lady Clarick shook her head with an unkind chuckle before she take sip from her wine and whispered, "But, I shouldn't be surprised, I know my son didn't marry her for her looks." She chuckle making the rest of the women to follow suit.

I could only roll my eyes and scoff in my cup as I empty it without a thought.

"Are you alright, princess?" Asked Lady Weaver.

I brought the cup away from my lips and look at the group of women staring at me with scornful looks, Lady Weaver had a small smirk on as she wait for me to answer.

"I-I'm fine," I dismissed quickly.

"Are you sure? It sounded like you had something to say," Lady Weaver comment making me pull a face.

"No, I was just...clearing my throat," Lady Weaver hums as she sneer at me.

"Oh, my mistake." She says with a coy look before turning her attention to another.

I gave a eyeroll and turn away from the group of woman, I glance at Enith and Ser Krey before walking away without a word to the circle of vultures. I hear enith and krey following behind me as I make my way to the table where the king and his family sat watching or drinking during the feast. I took a seat next to viserys on his right side while the queen sat on his left, aemond was here a moment ago but it seemed like he left as I scan the floor, aegon was already drunk nursing his thirteenth cup as he sat between his mother and sister-wife.

Enith push my seat forward before disappearing, she came back a minute later with a pitcher and pour me some wine. I thanked her before I started on my second cup, just as I sip I hear a chair scrap against the floor before footsteps, in the corner of my eye I see Alicent's blurry form pushing her chair in.

I pray she wasn't coming to talk to me, alicent has a way of making you want to drink yourself to an early grave to put it nicely. I rather end the night slightly buzzing, rather than impair to the point where I can't walk on my own.

Thank the gods above, my prayers were answered, alicent walk pass me and my seats to make her way to the floor, before I could celebrate I felt a cold hand on top of my hand making me glance down to see a old pale hand that looks to belong to the stranger himself. However, it belonged to the king which made me glance at him with confusion written on my face only to find viserys gazing at me.

"How are you liking the feast, my child." He said as rest in his seat.

I couldn't help but look at him surprised, he never acknowledged me like this before or talk to me. So, I glance around taking me a moment to respond to him.

"Oh, um, It's...It's nice," I replied with a small smile, viserys's smirk in return.

"I'm glad to hear it," He stated blink at me, I smiled again before looking away thinking he was finish, "Did you see the platter of your favorite savories I had the servants make?" He asked making me do a double take at his words.

Hmmm?

"You..." I stopped myself as too many questions form in my head, it took me a minute to collect my thoughts before picking the question I wanted to ask first, "...You order the servants to make me my favorites?" I questioned unsure.

Viserys nods with a bright smile, "Of course, I know how you love your sweets," I look at him half impress as he recount about having to tell Alicent what he wanted at the feast for me, "...I always forget is lemon cake still your favorite," I couldn't help put smile widely and nod my head.

Viserys gives me a knowing smile before beckoning a servant forward and requesting a slice if lemon cake, the servant did a quick bow of the head before leaving quickly only to return back just as fast with a plate with a slice of cake. He place it in front of me and viserys before stepping back, viserys and I smile at each other before grabbing our forks and digged in.

I couldn't help but hum in delight at the taste, it felt like forever since I had lemon cake. The last time I could remember having it was right around the time aunt rhaelle and her children moved into dragonstone castle, it was the third week of us all living there and the same night we had lemon cake for dessert, was the same night baelon and jacerys snuck down into the caves.

"So, how was your day today, must be nice to get out of that room." Viserys asked as he shakily feeds himself, "I heard you went into the city, was it nice?" He asked again but this time his put down his fork and put all his attention on me.

I felt my face drop along with my stomach in fear, I swallow down the lemony sweet cake as I set ny fork aside, I could only imagine his disapproval on me socializing with the children in fleabottom.

"Oh, yeah..." Was the only thing I could muster up as I took a napkin and wipe the corner of my mouth, "...are you mad?" I raised my brow at him.

"Of course not, I know how you like to venture around the city. I only be mad if you didn't take a guard with you." He says rubs my hand, "Otto also told me how you like spending your free time helping the smallfolks, that's nice." He confessed making me pull a face before fixing it.

No doubt hearing it from his daughter, who no doubt heard it from her son. Who must he tell that woman everything?

"It is?" Viserys nods his head.

"They are the reason I am king, they are the ones that keep things moving along. You know I always thought the smallfolks play a important part in the kingdom." He express.

I never knew he felt that way, I am curious what he would say if I asked what been on my mind for a while.

"I'm happy you said that because I was thinking...maybe we should slow down on the feasts and think about putting our efforts in fleabottom." I vocalize nervously, "...more so thinking about building a home for the abandon children." I add looking at him.

Viserys was silent which made me even more nervous, he look away from me with thoughtful look.

"No more feast?" He said to himself.

"No, no. Moreso limiting them," I suggested, "Rather than throwing one every two times a week, you can do twice a month." My grandsire looked back at me with an unreadable look.

"Hmmm, I think that's a good idea..." I smiled, "I would have to talk about it with the council and your husband, knowing him he will not be happy about that." He whispered the last part to me making my face drop.

I look away with a frown to stare at the sea of people, I glance around before pausing to see Aemond with Alicent. I watch them as they talk, I could see aemond was upset and his mother was comforting by rubbing his arm like she always do to show affection.

"Are you mad at me?" I turn away from the prince and his queen-mother to look at my grandsire with a shock look.

"What? No, no...why would you ask me that?" Viserys frown a making me grow confuse even more, "Are...Are you made at me?" I asked back, viserys frown deepen at my questions.

"I can never be mad at you, my dear." he said squeezing my hand making my heart swell a bit, "I only ask because...you haven't came to visit me in a while." He said with a hurt tone, making it my turn to frown at the king.

"Oh, I didn't...I didn't think you want to see me, given--"

"Of course, I want to see you, my love. I always do." It was so odd to see my grandfather show so much love and adoration towards me that I never seen before.

"If that's true. Why do you treat me so differently then?" I couldn't help but ask that question, viserys glance around for a second before leaning in. 

I do the same curious to know what he was going to tell me.

"I do not mean to do it...but you know how emotional she can be, if I am not on her side then she gets a bit difficult to talk to..." He states. I pull back I wanted to ask who he was referring to but he continued on, "And you know aemma, rhaelle, she like you and my daughter and every other woman in our house...are stubborn to the bone." He slaps the table as he chortle.

I lean back. What he said throw me through a loop, i was more confused than I was before as I stare at him dumbfounded.

Did he think I...was rhaelle?

Questions. Many questions formed as I thought about it and before I could ask one, a brush against my cheek had me snapping back to reality just as a cold hand rest on my cheek.

"Rhaelle" I look to my grandfather looking him in his violet gloss over eyes, "Are you alright? Do you wish to retire to our ch--" Viserys stopped when I was snatched out of my chair by my arm.

I look at Alicent as she stare at viserys with a scowl, she turn her angry glare at me before hissing in a low tone.

"Your husband is here, you should go to him." Alicent's grip on my arm tighten at each word she spoke, I wince before glaring at her just as she turn us before letting go of me.

I lost my footing and before I could fall, a pair of hands caught my waist. I look over my shoulder to see Aemond looking down at me with a glum look, I right myself before looking at Alicent as guards help viserys out of his seat.

"It seems the king is feeling unwell," Alicent says nonchalantly before turning to aemond and I, with a small smile, "But, do not let that damper your mood, you should go and have fun. Dance. I think the ladies and lords would enjoy it." she said in that sickly sweet tone.

"But, grandfather--" I look pass her to see the maester following close by with the guards and the king.

"Will be okay, all he needs is his poppy's milk." She says making me look back at her, she took a step closer with square shoulders, it took like she's trying to be intimidating, "Now, go run along and enjoy the feast." I narrow my eyes at her at the condescending tone.

She gives me a look, before I could say a word I felt a hand on my wrist.

"We will, mother." Aemond spoke from behind me.

Before I knew it I was being dragged away from Alicent, I look over to find Alicent talking to Enith and Ser Krey making me furrow my brows in questions when I made eye contact with Enith.

Something didn't feel right, I felt like I was outside looking through a window inside with how viserys was acting and how alicent acted. And I think my body agrees with how much my gut has been fluttering and my head feeling light, so much was happening and I wanted to know what.

Keep Me Near Your Heart 1

Jaenara chewed her bottom lip as her eyes flickered around the room, wondering why so many people had to come. It was difficult to see where her family was amidst the crowd, the last person she had spotted was her aunt leaving the great hall, followed by her great uncle a few minutes later.

Growing tired of the feast, her feet ached from the small heels her mother had forced her to wear, and the dress her step-grandmother had made for her felt tight and itchy on her mid-back. She walked through the crowd, giving small smiles and curt nods to guests who congratulated her on her marriage while trying to find Alys or Alyssa.

It didn't feel like she had gotten married. It felt like another obligatory celebration she had to attend. If it weren't for the guests approaching her to offer their congratulations, it would have felt like any other family gathering. However, there was a tense and awkward ambiance between Jaenara's family and Aemond's family. Everyone else seemed to be having a good time, except for her. She doubted anyone cared about how she felt.

"Thank the gods. I finally found you..." Jaenara turned her head at the sound of Alys's flat voice as she approached. Alys wore a timid smile, her hands clasping the skirt of her crimson gown.

"Thank the gods that you did," she replied, smiling at Alys and looping their arms together. Alys gave a small smirk before she led them through the crowd of guests.

"So..." she eyed Alys as she spoke, then looked away, "...are you...having fun?" Alys asked.

"It's...yes, I am..." Jaenara gave Alys a small smile. "I have met a lot of people...and...um, everyone's so nice, so..." she trailed off, casting her eyes down. She couldn't bring herself to finish the lie she had been telling the lords and ladies, and she doubted Alys would believe it anyway.

"It's a bit draining," she said as they stopped and turned to face each other. "I think I will retire early." Alys nodded with a thoughtful look.

"I think I will too... I can spend the night in your chamber and we can stay up and talk," Alys suggested, smiling. Jaenara smiled back at Alys, grateful for the offer.

"Really? That would be great," Jaenara said, Alys's smile widened before quickly turning into a scowl. Jaenara tilted her head at her friend and reached out to touch her upper arm. "Hey, what's wrong-"

"I hope I'm not interrupting," a familiar deep voice interrupted. Jaenara turned in surprise to see Aemond standing there, she moved to stand beside Alys to look up at aemond.

"Of course not, uncle. We were just about to go to bed," Jaenara said, glancing over at Alys.

"Hmmm, I am feeling a bit tired myself. I'll escort you," Aemond said, his hands behind his back and a placid look on his face. Jaenaea glanced at Alys, who glared at Aemond before looking back at him.

"W-Well, uncle we--"

"Aemond," he said, making Jaenara purse her lips. "Or husband, if you prefer it." He jests as the corner of his lips lifts slightly, displaying a faint smile.

"O-okay, Aemond..." Jaenara started, and Aemond tilted his head slightly to the side, returning to his usual blank expression. "...but I already have an escort." She looked over at Alys with a small smile, and Alys looked back at Jaenara with a similar expression before Jaenara turned her gaze back to Aemond, who narrowed his eyes at Jaenara before glancing at Alys.

"But, it is our wedding day. We must go to bed together," Aemond said, and Jaenara frowned.

"Must we?" She asked, and he nodded, causing her to turn to Alys. She looked back at her cousin with a sad frown. "Maybe she can join us," she suggested after a moment, turning to look back at Aemond.

Aemond spluttered, his cheeks turning a shade of pink. "S-She cannot come to our marital bed. It is profane...and it has to be only us," he said, and Jaenara let out a disappointed moan before looking at Alys to bid her goodnight. However, alys stepped forward, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Then, I will sleep on the couch," Alys insisted, making Aemond look at her, confusion furrowing his brows.

"That is not the issue. Jaenara and I must consummate our marriage together and alone," Aemond explained. Alys furrowed her brows, clearly confused, as Jaenara frowned.

There's that word again. She remembers asking her mother about it when she was getting ready, but she said it wasn't an important subject to talk about at the moment.

"Consummate?" Alys mumbles to herself, pulling Jaenara from her thoughts as Jaenara looks at Alys and then at Aemond, he chuckles low moving his hand to scratch at his cheek below his eyepatch.

"You will learn what is it once you are married, cousin." Aemond chuckled again making Jaenara and Alys look at each other before looking at him, "Now, come along wife." Aemond says moving to hold out his arm for Jaenara to take, I look at him for a second before looking at Alys who wears a small frown.

"I'll see you in the morning, you sit next to me at breakfast, right?" Alys looked at Jaenara again before smiling at her.

"Of course." Alys moved to engulf her cousin who thought as a sister in a hug making Jaenara hug her back, "Sleep well." She says before they pull away from each other.

"Goodnight, sister." Jaenara moves from Alys's grasp to grab hold of Aemond's arm.

Alys wiggled her fingers sadly at Jaenara as Aemond pulled her along, jaenara gave her cousin one last smile before turning to follow Aemond out of the great hall. They walk in silence as he guides Jaenara through the halls toward their new quarters, jaenara glances at him from the corner of her eye from time to time to admire how grown up her uncle has become.

He has grown tall. He looks so different yet his demeanor remains the same, he wasn't the small boy who used to pick on her and put dirt in her hair. He seems more mature and wise. And frightening.

Jaenara stopped glancing at him and focused her eyes on her feet, she counted in her head every step that she took until she was interrupted suddenly by Aemond.

"Did you enjoy yourself?" His deep smooth voice made Jaenara turn her head up to look at Aemond as he turned to look at her.

"Um, yes...it was nice" she replied meekly, aemond hummed before looking away from her making Jaenara chew her lip as they fell silent again for a moment before Jaenara broke it, "How about you? Did you enjoy yourself, my prince?" She asks trying to make small talk, Aemond turns his head to look at her again.

"It was fine. The only thing that kept it from being dreary was watching baelor and corwyn try to out-drink Aeron." Jaenaea hummed.

"Who won?" Aemond looks at her with a small grin.

"Aeron. But, only because corwyn passed out and baelor retched all over himself before he could finish his drink." She grimaces.

"Ewww." She drawls out causing Aemond to let out a soft chortle, she stares at him in awe at how youthful he sounded.

Sometimes she forgets he's just one spring older than her, the scar where his eye used to be makes him seem older. He also looks handsome. Jaenara usually never noticed that before in men, aemond was truly beautiful, so why did he choose her to marry? When coming here she expected him to be so cruel to her, especially after what jacerys told her. Jaenara couldn't remember a lot before, but now little pieces come from time to time. Some good. Some bad. It did answer a lot of questions that she wanted to ask but was too nervous to do.

Aemond turned his head slightly to look down at Jaenara making her catch his eye, she realized she had been staring at him for quite some time now making her look away quickly as her face heated up embarrassed.

Training her eyes to her feet again, after a moment she glanced back to look at him to see him smirking with a smug look. Jaenara cast her eyes away and looked ahead as they turned the corner and two knights came into view as they stood by a door.

"Ser Krey. Ser Ashford." Aemond spoke making the knights turn their heads to look at them.

"My prince." They said in unison bowing their heads at him, the knight with dark black hair poking out from under his helmet lift his head catching Jaenara's eye.

His green eyes widened a bit making her give him a curious look as to why he was staring at her like that, did she have something on her face, she wondered. She moves to brush her cheek with her hand before dropping it to her side, the young knight blinks at her before casting his eyes somewhere else.

"This is princess jaenara velaryon," Aemond introduced her, "My wife." Jaenara looks at him as he stares down at her with a small smile making her mirror him before he turns away to look at the knights again, "Is our chamber ready?" He asks causing the older knight with a brown beard with a flicker of grey in it to answer.

"Yes, my prince." Aemond hummed.

They stood silent making her glance at Aemond as he stared at the door as if waiting for something, jaenara glanced at the older knight as he cleared his throat before casting his eyes over to the young knight who was sneaking looks at her.

"Ser Krey." The knight known as Krey looks away from Jaenara to the other knight.

"Hmm?" Ser Ashford motioned to the door making a look of realization dawn on Krey, "Oh, yes, sorry." He mumbled as he stepped from his post and opened the door for Jaenara and Aemond.

"After you, dove."

She looked at Aemond slightly surprised at the nickname, a warm feeling crept up to her chest and spread up her neck to her cheeks, he stared at her with a patient look waiting for her to go ahead. She cast her eyes away from his intense violet eyes before she pulled away from him and held the skirt of her white gown as she saunter ahead not before looking at Krey whose eyes were focused on the floor as she passed him.

Jaenara stopped midway in stepping inside standing at the edge of the threshold and looking in awe at the spacious room, this was to be my new apartment, she stepped in further spinning as she looked around the room.

She turns to look at Aemond to find him whispering to Krey, the young knight downcast with an expressionless look. When he lifted his eyes he looked right at me making me look away, she went back to admiring the decor of the apartment taking in the lit parlor.

"Do like it?" Aemond asked making her turn around to see him walk towards her, the knight was gone and the door was closed leaving us alone. Together.

"Oh, yes it's lovely." Aemond hummed with a small smile as a look of pride played on his features.

"Mother thought the dark colors would be too much," He said looking around, jaenara followed suit as she took in her surroundings.

"I prefer it, it reminds me of dragonstone a little bit." She looks at him at the same time as he looks back at her.

Aemond hummed with a nod, "Well, let me show you to our chamber." Aemond took her hand guiding her toward a double door with two handles shaped in the form of two dragons, he let go of her hand and pulled the doors open before stepping aside to let me go in.

The chamber was nice and lit as Jaenara looked around the room, she passed by a sette to the wardrobe on the wall just by my bed and opened it seeing multiple gowns in different colors mostly green that didn't belong to her.

She felt a tug on her back making her turn around to grab Aemond's wrist as he tried to loosen her gown, he looked at her amused as she looked back at him startled.

"What are you doing," she ask unsettled.

"Helping you out of your gown, you can't go to sleep in it, can you?" Aemond raises his brow at her

"I...I usually have a servant do it."

"Well, we could wait but that would take a while since all the servants are still at the celebration and I know how tired you are." Jaenara frowns in thought, she doesn't think she can wait, my feet are in agony, and every second she's in this dreadful gown is like having a needle stab her in the ribs.

Jaenaea slowly let go of his wrist making him smile at her before motioning for her to turn around, she did what he wanted as she waited for him to untie the gown, she looked for a nightgown to wear to bed. Her hand shoots to her chest stopping the gown from sagging and falling onto the floor, he moves on to loosening the corset as she takes the first nightgown she sees and she stares inside the wardrobe trying to ignore aemond.

"...there." He finally said, jaenara held the nightgown to her chest as she turned to look at aemond, but his eyes weren't looking at her but rather somewhere else.

"W-Where can I change?" She asked meekly making aemond clear his throat and glance at her before looking away.

His throat contracted as he pointed over to the other side of the room making me turn my head over to where he was pointing to see a screen divider, a soft sigh escaped her as Jaenara shuffled over to the screen quickly still feeling Aemond's eye on me. She threw the nightgown on the screen and took my heels before pushing my wedding gown down so it could land on her feet, she did the same to the corset and took her nightgown and slipped it over her head and through her arms before pulling it down making it fall to her knees. She left her gown and heels on the floor as she stepped out, her hands were finished unbraiding her hair so it could fall loose on her shoulders when she saw aemond already in bed with no tunic.

She turns her back to him when he smirks at her, why was he wearing no tunic, jaenara'a thumb goes to her lips as she bites her nail. She doesn't know what to do, she understands she must share a bed with him, they are husband and wife after all, but why is his tunic off? She doesn't know what to do, what should she do.

Think, Jaenara. Think, Jaenara.

"Oh, sweet wife. Are you coming to bed?" His words sounded taunting to her ears, jaenara looked over to the door in thought, maybe she could sleep on the couch, "Come to bed, jaenara. Or do you want me to tell your mother you're being a bad wife?" He taunts her again making her grimace at the door, the last thing she wants is for her mother to be angry at her.

Jaenara slowly turned around my eyes focused on the ground as she ambled around the sette to go over to the bed and stand by the space beside aemond, before she could move the covers aemond did it for her making me stare at the white sheets. She slowly climbed up on the bed pulling the covers over her legs and abdomen before laying on my back, she turned my head to the window across from her to see how dark it was outside.

Suddenly, the bed shift made her turn to look at Aemond before looking away when her eyes caught his nake back, she trained her eyes above as aemond moved around. Before she knew it the canopy surrounded the bed, she glanced over as aemond pulled the curtain back to get in bed again making to look away. Aemond settled in next to me she could feel his arms press against her own as he lay down.

She closed her eyes hoping sleep would find her, but as she lay there aemond shifts in the bed.

"You don't know what consummate is, do you," Aemond spoke in the dark making her stay silent, a chuckle filled the air between them, "I'm surprised you didn't ask, you were such a...curious little bird, swan." She open her eyes and turn to look at aemond, the light coming through the slit of the curtain made her able to see him laying on his side watching me.

"How do you know about it," Jaenara asks.

"The maester, mostly. But, I have been to the tapestries and among other places to know what I have to do." She nods slowly before looking away, "...I can tell you if you want," he says, she drags her eyes from the covers to him, and her throat constricts as she thinks.

"...why would you do that?" She asks meekly.

"You are my wife, why wouldn't I?" Even though it was dark her eyes looked over to Aemond's missing eye, she looked away when aemond shifted in the bed next to me, "...what happened to me doesn't affect you, it was your brother who did it, not you."

"Yes, but he is still my brother nonetheless. His sins are my sins." Aemond made a sound of disagreement.

"No, his sins are his sins, I hold no ill will towards you, dove." She sighs.

"My brother was protecting me, you would have done the same if Helaena was in my spot, would you not." Aemond was quiet, jaenara looked over at aemond as he lay on his side with his elbow keeping him up, she hoped she didn't make him angry, "Aemond?" She whispers gently calling out for him.

"...you are right I would have done way worse, but I still stand by my words, you shouldn't feel obligated to hold your brothers's sins. Not when they don't share your blood entirely." His words burned her ears, she sat up leaning against the headboard glaring at him through the dark.

"What does that suppose to me." She snaps.

"I think you know--"

"No, I don't." Jaenara resorted, her anger was slowly peaking she shouldn't let herself get angry, her brother warned her that aemond would do this, "....whatever I'm tired going to bed." She scoots back down on the bed and turns her back to aemond, she puts the cover on her chin as she closes her eyes to go to sleep.

"Jaenara." She stayed silent, "Jaenara, do not be like this...we still need to consummate--"

"You can do it by yourself." She resorted, it was quiet for a second before she heard aemond chortle making her furrow her brows.

"...silly dove, it must take two to perform this ritual, you must think of it like dancing...but in bed." Jaenara stayed quiet thinking, she was curious to ask more about it but her anger outweighed her curiosity, she wasn't in the mood to talk to him not after what he said, this night had already dragged on long enough all she wished was it to end.

"...jaenara, sweet dove..." she felt his hand grazes her arm, "...do you want me to apologize for what I said." He asked she remained quiet, there was no point in asking that if he wasn't going to mean it, "...jaenara, I'm sorry for what I said, I should have never said it."

"Yeah, you shouldn't have," Jaenara could feel the heat radiating off aemond as he moved closer.

"Can you find in your heart to forgive me, sweet dove?" She didn't reply she had two things nagging at her to go to sleep and ignore aemond, she growled lowly moving to lay on her back, and stared up at the bed.

"Why do you keep calling me that," She asked.

"What? Dove?" She nodded her head but when he didn't answer she spoke up.

"Yes."

"Oh, well...you remind me of a dove," he says making her turn her head to look at him.

"How so."

"Well, doves are considered kind and loyal birds, and you...remind me of them. You are sweet and loyal and  trustworthy and beautiful, that is why you are my sweet dove." She blinked dumbly in the dark speechless, he thought that of her, he thought she was beautiful.

"You think I'm...beautiful?" She turned to lie on my side.

"Of course, I do...who wouldn't your beauty outshine all the maidens in the seven kingdoms." He says, "You will have to be a fool to ignore it, but that is not why I wanted to marry you. It was your kindness that drew me, I will always remember what you did for me when I was a boy."

Jaenara knew what he was talking about, aemond and her don't share a lot of memories, not good ones anyway, but there was one time when she was young and aemond lost his egg. The poor baby wasn't strong enough and aemond was very upset about it the entire week, nothing could have brought up his mood, not sweets or new books not even going dragon riding with baelor. The boy was dolorous and aegon along with some of their other cousins didn't help when they picked on him about it, he took to spending his time alone and away from everyone. She always felt bad for him when she saw how sad he was about his egg, she knew how he felt. So, when his tenth nameday came around, she was given an egg by her aunt rhaelle and uncle when they heard her egg didn't hatch.

She gave up her egg to him as a gift, and he was shocked, to say the least when she gave away her egg. Jacerys along with their cousins and aegon said she was stupid for doing it. But, she didn't care she wanted aemond to be happy, not sad anymore, and he wasn't.

"I'm surprised you remember that," She said. 

"How can I forget it, you were the only one besides helaena and my mother who showed me any lick of kindness." Jaenara looks away shyly.

"I did what I felt was right, it was nothing," She says.

"You have no idea how wrong you are, sweet dove." He whispers back in the dark, "I want to show you how grateful I am that you showed me such kindness." He says as he moves to crawl over her.

Keep Me Near Your Heart VIII

It was mid-afternoon when I finally woke up, everything blurry and my mouth was rather dry, my body wasn't in much agony but I could feel the dull pain still. I planted my hands on the mattress, using the little strength I had to lift myself up, letting out a groan, as I laid my back against the headboard.

I look around my chamber to find myself alone, I frown not seeing a crib anywhere, I push the covers aside before swinging my legs over the edge. I yelp when my feet gave out from under me, making me hit the floor, I moan in pain before using the bed to get myself up. As I finally pulled myself back on the mattress the door to my chamber was opened, I look over at Enith who looked drained.

"Enith--" I paused what I was going to say, shock at how hoarse my voice is.

"M'lady," Enith small voice caught my attention, she walks over to me, helping me get back under the covers, "You must stay in bed, your not entirely healed yet." She mumble pulling the over my stomach.

"Where..." I cleared my throat, before I could gett o say anything enith walks away making me frown as I watch her walk out of my chamber.

Why does she seems different?

Enith walks back in with a pitcher and a glass, she pours the water into the glass as she stayed by my side, she put down the pitcher on the side table next to us before helping me sip from the glass. I gulp down the water like my life depended on it, I didn't understand why it felt so good to drink water, it felt like I haven't any for years.

I heave, my mouth not feeling so dry anymore, i look at Enith as she sat down the glass before taking a seat on the edge of the bed.

"Where...Where is Visenya? I wish to hold her." I asked.

Enith looks at me, her eyes were dim and sunken, her skin weirdly pale for someone with her complexion, she had a bruise on her left cheek that seemed to be fading.

"Enith. Where's Visenya." I asked again, looking at her worried, the silence I was meet with again made my heart beat fast with the weight of my fear snd worry making it hard to think, "Enith!" I exclaimed as I move to sit up, but Enith's hand pushed my back down firmly making me look at her warily.

Enith couldn't bring her eyes to look at me, her hand squeeze my shoulder making me wince.

"Enith...Enith, please." My hand went to hers, "....Enith, your hurting me." Enith lift her eyes to look at me, we stare at one another for a moment before she took her hand back and got up.

"You need your rest, m'lady." She said with her back to me, I sat up staring at her as she walks to the door.

"Enith." I called making her stop, my chin trembling, "Please, tell me where my baby is, please...please, tell me something." I watch Enith turn her head slightly to the side before she spoke over her shoulder.

"Your baby is...just know she's in a better place, now, m'lady." Enith turn away before closing the door behind her.

I closed my eyes shaking, I covered my face as a sob shook through me, I laid on my side curling wishing for nothing more to disappear. To cease to exist. To be with my daughter.

「                            ⊹₊♚₊⊹                           」

I rest my head on the stone wall as I look out the window of my chamber, I haven't move from here since i gain my legs back, I couldn't stand laying in that bed any longer.

I turn my head slightly when the door creak open, Enith strolls in with a tray in her hand, she place my breakfast on the table before glancing at me, she bowed her head before turning on her heels. I move when she closed the door behind her, enith hasn't said a word to me for three nights, maybe out of gulit or shame, but I have missed our small talks, I missed her. She was my only friend here and she couldn't bear to look at me. I grab the bowl of fruits before going back to my spot by the window, I nibble not really hungry, food taste bland nowadays.

I sigh, my hand moving to my flat stomach, I rub circle thinking about her, thinking about her lilac eyes and soft tan skin. My eyes flatter shut, trying to remember every detail of her sweet innocent face, I sigh again, atleast I had a little time with her before she passed. Not many people can say that?

I broke out of my melancholy state, when I heard muffled voices on the other side of the doors, I got up shuffling across the room to put my ear to the wood to listen.

"...like I said before the princess is not feeling well, your highness--" I could make out Enith's muffled voiced.

"...I do not care, she has been locked in her chamber for nearly six nights, her grandfather is getting suspicious of her absence." I furrow my brows at the voice of the queen, why would my grandsire care about my presence, he never even acknowledged me.

"Princess Jaenara needs more time to heal, my queen. After all, she did lose her child..." Enith replied sadly, I cast my eyes down to the floor moving my head so my forehead could rest on the door.

"Yes, yes, yes. That's very sad and all..." Alicent responded nonchalant, I scowl through the door at her heartlessness, "...but, she must get over it, she has shown that she is not entirely useless. Once, Aemond sends his mistress away, they can start anew--" I opened the door causing Alicent to push her lips together and turn along with Enith and Ser Cole to look at me.

Alicent's uncaring expression turn to a mock of sympathy, I strolled in slowly stopping only a few feet away from the trio.

"Alicent, what are you doing here?" The Queen smiled sadly at me, before making her way towards me.

"I came to see how you were doing, sweet girl." I refrained from rolling my eyes, alicent stopped in front of me, "Your grandsire and I have been very worried about you, he sends his condolences." I drone in response, before turning to sat a seat on the couch by the fire.

I watch Alicent glance at Enith and Ser Cole before looking at me, "I can only imagine how...stuck you feel in here--" She starts.

"I am used to it." I replied, Alicent looked mildly taken back, "Your son after all has made sure of that." Alincent's cheek twitched making a small smile grace my lips at her chargin, "I will only leave to attend my daughter's funeral, and nothing more." Alicent pursed her lips making me narrow her eyes at her, I glance at Enith who looks away angry.

"Oh, sweet girl..." I look back at Alicent as she walks close before stopping, "...we already had the funeral." I could feel my heart crack at her words.

"When?" I questioned, Alicent looks away making me get up abruptly knocking my leg against the small table, Alicent looked back at me, "Answer me!" I exclaimed getting angry by the second, Alicent cleared her throat with a pinch look.

"Two afternoons ago." I looked at her in disbelief.

"You buried my little girl and you didn't even think to invite me?" Alicent gives a look to me that was suppose to look sympathetic, but on her face it looked more like annoyance.

"I--We. Your grandsire and I thought it be best--"

"How dare you." I hissed taking a step forward.

"I beg your pardon--" Alicent looked offended.

"First, your one eye bastard of a son killed my child, and then you have the gull to NOT TO INVITE ME TO HER FUNERAL." I screamed, alicent looked at me wide eyed as I seethe, "How can you be so heartless."

Alicent gape her mouth open and shut speechless, pathetic, her and her son, both pretending to be these good moral people to get people to trust them but in reality their nothing but heartless monster.

"Y-You have no right to speak to me like this way, I am your queen--"

"Fuck you." I hissed, causing Alicent put her hand on her chest, "You are nothing. Just a sad pathetic old woman, who surrounds herself with pathetic man."

Alicent was beyond shocked and her mask that she was so used to wearing slipped off, as she glare at you with enough fire that could burn King's Landing to the ground. But, luckily for her I have enough to burn the world.

Alicent took in a deep breathe before exhaling.

"I could see that you are still...grieving over your daughter, so I will take my leave." Alicent walks slowly to me as held her head high, before stopping in front me and look down her nose, "You obviously need time to get yourself together, and even think about your own words." I arch a brow at her, "Maybe, rather than blaming my son for the lost of your child, you should think about sharing the blame. If you were a good wife, maybe my son wouldn't have to send for that woman to meet his needs." I wasn't surpised that Alicent knew about Aemond's infidelity, I mean Aemond was her son, of course she was going to keep track of what he been doing, she sighs with tilt of her head, "But, of course, a stupid girl like you had to cause a ruckus and go found out the truth." She tsked, Alicent move her hand to curl a finger around a strand of my silver white hair,  "My son made the plan sound so easy when he told me of his true intentions with you," Alicent and I made eye contact as she spoke, "You were so gullible..." a curve of her lip made my blood boil, "...that i almost felt bad for you." A soft chuckle left her lips.

I know I should have walked away, but something in me told me to fuck that and go for the throat.

"Hmmm." I drone.

Before wrapping my hands around her neck, Alicent looked at me with wide eyes as her own hands went to my beck to prey them off. I was going to kill her, then her knight, then her was going to torture her son until he prayed for the stranger. I throttled her without a thought, her legs gave out as she gasp for breathe, causing my body to buzz.

"I'm going to fucking kill you, you stupid old whore..." I felt arms wrapped around my waist trying to prey me off her, but it was no use I was determined to kill her and I didn't care about the consequences.

"Let her go!" Ser Cole hissed, his arms unwrapped from my waist, and grabbed his hands grabbed my wrist trying to pull them off.

"Not until I see this bitch cold body on the floor."

Alicent's eyes were fluttering as she claws at my hands and wrists, it took Cole a while before he finally unclaimed my hands from around her dainty neck. Alicent took in a deep breathe as she held her neck, I struggle kicking my legs and failing my arms as he hold me up by my waist.

"Let me go, you fucking mutt." I swing my elbow back trying to hit him, when I finally hit him in his face I did it again and again until his arms loosen and i fell to my feet.

I swing around and connect my fist to his mouth causing him to stumble back before tripping over his own feet and falling, I glare down at Ser Cole before looking at Enith as she stare at me with wide eyes.

"Get inside, Enith." I ordered pointing to my chamber, it took her moment before she moved from her spot and headed pass me.

I turn to watch go inside when I felt a tug on my gown, I look down at Cole before knocking his hand away. I took a step back as he get to his knees, before he get up I kicked him in his balls. He wheeze on the floor holding his jewels, I look at both queen and her lap dog before turning on my heels.

"Things are going to change around here," I stopped turning in my doorway to look between Alicent and Cole, "Starting with you never coming near me again, and never talking to me like this EVER AGAIN." I yelled, I looked at Alicent as she finally regain her breathe and stood looking at me, "I expect to be move out of this solar into another by the end of this full moon, do you understand me?" I asked her, she only glared making me take a step outside, Alicent stumbled back making me smile a bit, "I said do you understand me," Alicent's throat constricts before nodding.

"Yes," she croaked.

"Good." I said with brief soft smile, "Now, get the fuck out of my solar." I stepped back inside my room before slamming it and sliding the bolt in.

「                            ⊹₊♚₊⊹                           」

My eyes glanced around my chamber,  well my old chamber now, all thanks to the queen of course. All of my clothes and jewelry was now store away in chests and off to my new chamber. I was surprised Alicent even took me serious, most of the things I was saying was just out of the heat of the moment. I am going to be a bit sad for leaving this behind, I didn't have a lot of good memories here, but I had enough that every time I glance at the sette or the bed, my heart clenched in my chest.

I sigh, turning to walk out with my head down, I been thinking to myself lately about writing to my aunt. I should have been more weary of my aunt's concerns,  maybe staying awhile so I can feel like myself again, I know my aunt will welcome me back with open arms. But, my mother, she is a different story.

"What the hell is this?" I look up at the sound of my husband's voice, Aemond stare at most of my belongs in chests before he look at me. 

I haven't seen Aemond in weeks, not once have he visited to console me about our daughter, I guess he stayed away getting comfort from his whore. Or maybe he just didn't care about her either, like Alicent said, we can always try again, who cares that I lost my baby girl. She was just pawn like me. A tool.

"...mymother told me of  what you did to her and ser cole," I snapped out my out my head, and  focused on aemond again, "have you completely lost your mind." I hissed.

I chuckle slowly shaking my head, "Only a little bit, husband." I move to lean against the fire place, Aemond stood by the door with his hands clenched and jaw set.

"You think this is funny, attacking the queen and her knight like some mad woman" I shrug my shoulders unbothered, they got what they deserve especially ser cole.

"Why are you here, Aemond." My prince husband scolded me.

"Why do you think." He glare making me tilt my head to the side with a raised brow, "My mother--"

"Oh, wait, I just remember something..." Aemond furrowed his brows at my interruption, "...I don't care." He look at me irriated, I return his harsh look with a smile.

"You making a fool out of yourself, jaenara. Acting this way." I folded my arms in front of my chest, "You think throwing a tantrum will get my attention--" I bark out a laugh.

"Get your attention? Please, do not flatter yourself, husband." I sneer, "The only fools here is you along with that bitch of mother and her lap dog," Aemond stare at me with a dark look, I lean off of the fireplace as Aemond stalk to me.

"Watch how you speak about my mother--" He pointed a finger in my direction.

"Or what? What will you do, boy." I spat looking at him up and down in disgust, "What can you do? Truely. Because of you and your lies I have to be married to a man like you, have to rot here until my last breathe, have to go on living without my daughter." I swallow.

Aemond stepped closer angry, his face flushed, "Our daughter. She was mine too--"

"She was never yours, she was mine, all mines, I carried her, I felt her move inside me for seven moons. Me! Not you!" I shouted getting teary eyed,  Aemond step back with an unreadable look, "It was my body that birth her, all you did was held my down and release your cursed seed in me." Aemond scowled again.

"Do not make me out like some...some monster that took, you enjoyed what I did just like you did on our wedding night." I shook my head in distaste.

"Yes, I did. But, that was before you changed and started forcing yourself upon me--"

"Shut your mouth. That is a lie and you know it." He shouted.

I scoff, "Do not pretend you didn't know what you were doing, Aemond. Just because I didn't voice it and was too scared to stop you, doesn't mean I still wanted you." Aemond's eye flicker between my own searching before relaxing his jaw and pushing back his shoulders to look larger.

"You are confused, wife." I squint at him, "My way of handling you in bed was rough, yes, but we both know you wanted it." I shook my head at him in disbelief.

Does he truely believe that taking me to bed was something I truely enjoyed?

"What cruel joke are you playing at?" He jaw slated, "Do you really believe that I was okay with you forcing yourself on me every night and day to produced a heir? Are you that delusional?--"

"Stop talking--" He warned.

"No, answer the question, do you think I liked when you pull me away from doing something I like just to be pushed on my back by you--"

"That is your place, you are suppose to like whatever I give you." He snaps.

"That's not how a marriage should be!" I snapped back angry, Aemond pressed his lips together fuming, "I shouldn't have to dread having sex with my husband, but I do.  I shouldn't be afraid to tell you no, but I am. Do you not see that your acting like Aegon." Aemond's hands were suddenly tightly hold my arms, he stare down at me pure fury.

"I am NOT like my brother, how dare you compare me to that scum." He seethes.

"Because you do not care." I pushed him away, making him let go of me, "You may not be just like him but you are treading the line, like helaena I am stuck in an miserable marriage set up by you." I glared at me, I turn away from him to stand by the couch.

The air in the room was getting tensed and uncomfortable, I wish there was a way I can go back in time and stop myself from marrying Aemond. My delusional expectations of having a happy marriage with him was long gone,  and memories of bending over backwards for him to keep him happy was wasted energy that I could have put in doing something better. And the small hope of having a child will make everything better again was a stupid thing to think, I'm no better than my mother.

I turn back around to look at Aemond's back, thinking this is will be the best for everyone mainly myself, "I think it's best that we get an annulment," Aemond slowly turns and stare at me, when he didn't speak, I continued, "For now I will go to my new chamber, and write my aunt and uncle about talking to grandsire." I look back to aemond's face waiting for him to speak, but he stood quiet, calmly quiet, it should have worried me but my mind was still riling from our previous conversation.

I gave him an eyeroll when he remain quiet, I refuse to entertain this behavior, I wish I had more sense back then, maybe I wouldn't be in this predicament now.

"Aemond, if your not going to say anything, then I rather you leave. I rather spend the remainder of my time here reminiscing alone than watch you give me the silent treament--"

"There will be no annulment." He stated finally making me clasp my hands in front of me.

"What." He looked me in my face with a scowl.

"You are not leaving me--"

"Yes, I am." I replied.

"No, your not." He resorted, "You are my wife and no peice of paper is going to tell me otherwise." I stare at him frustrated, it is obvious that he continues to make me suffer.

"Aemond, I am giving you a chance to find another wife that is willing to carry your children and put up with your nonsense--"

"I don't want another wife, nor am i letting you leave me." A growl rumbled in my throat at his persistence.

"Aemond--" I started with an exasperated sigh.

"Fine! What is that you want, hmm?" I look at him confused at what he meant, "Do you wish for me to be a little nicer to you? Be gentle in bed? Give you space? What! What is it! That you want from me."

"I want to get far away from you," I  shouted fed up, aemond stare at me mad, "There is nothing you can do to stop me from requesting an annulment, we are done, too much have already happened. Nothing is going to make me stay with you."

"Not even if I promise to leave her--" I scoff cutting him off.

"You already promise me that and look what happened," Silence fell upon us as we stare at each other, it was hard to decipher what aemond was feeling, he looked angry but he also looked sad and hurt, but then again i could be wrong, "Nothing will and I mean nothing will make me stay, you could impregnate me right now and I will still leave you." I sigh bowing my head, why must this be so difficult, why must he make it hard.

I will never understand aemond targaryen, he has done nothing but make me feel little and unloved, but now that I give him a chance to be free of me, he wish to toy with me, will I ever get peace from this man.

I was startle when I lift my head, Aemond was close I didn't even hear him walk up to me, I stepped back putting some space between us but he grabbed my upper arm stopping me as he gaze down at me.

I glance at his hand on my arm, trying to pull away, before looking at him warily.

"Aemond--"

"What do you think will happened if father allow you an annulment from me?" He asked, I stare at him perplexed not sure if he really want me to answer or not, "You probably leave back to Dragonstone and your aunt will marry you to one of her sons, no doubt maekar..." The look in Aemond's eye was off, it seem he was talking to me but not really, "...and I would be left looking incompetent, only gods know what our cousins and the rest of the kingdom might say." He mumbled.

Aemond massage my arm uncomfortable painful, I swallow my wince, as I look up at Aemond.

"W-who cares, I doubt they don't--" A deep snicker made my words die in my throat.

"You know our cousins well enough to know that they will no doubt taunt me about you leaving me, blaming my looks for the reason you ran for the hills, or my inability at...getting it up." I couldn't help but allow a whimper as aemond hold was growing tighter, it felt like he was going to break my bones, "But, that is not a reason we are not getting annulment." He says as we look at each other.

"You can't stop me from going to the king." Aemond drones before a curve in his lips made me frown.

"No, I can't," He says, he turns us around so my leg brush against the sette, "but if he sees you round with my child, he will never allow the annulment. It will prove that we laid together and you are ruined." Before I could speak everything shifted as I landed on my back on the cushion as aemond crushes me.

"Aemond, no! You can't--." Aemond took my hands from his chest and held my wrist on either side if my head," What about her. Aemond, what about her, you can finally be with her." Aemond stop as he hover over me, that small smile still on his lips, he chuckle made me frown as I try to wiggling my wrist from his grip.

"You want to hear something funny, dove."

Not really, I thought, struggling even more as he plant his knee between my legs. Aemond lean close to my face making me turn away.

"I don't want to let you go," I could see from the corner if my eye as his smile grow bigger, "I love Alys I do, but..." his nose brush against my cheek before his lips trail up to my ear, "...I can't get you out of my mind even when I'm with her, just like I can't get her out of my head when I'm with you. Funny." He chuckles, I shake my head as he fist my skirt hiking it up.

"Aemond, please! I beg you just...let me be." I cry looking up at him with blurry eyes, I could see him considering me.

"Hmmm, and what would I get if I do?" He asked making me blink up at him, he move his hand to slide up my hip and pass my breast before resting his hand on my throat, "What will you give me." He lips pressed against the side of my neck, slowly pecking up and down the sides.

I know if I deny him now, he will just take it. But, it will be over quickly and he leave back to her, he would get what he want and by the time he comes back I be long gone.

I felt a rumble against his chest, I blink back to the present to up at aemond to see him staring at me no longer hiding his face in my neck.

"If you thinking about running away, I advise you to think twice before planning a escape, " I frown, "Because I will drag you back here, and this time I won't lock you in a solar or your chamber. I'll lock you in a tower, heavily guarded with no where to escape." My throat contracted as my bottom lip tremble at his threat, "No one will know where you are, you will disappear without a trace. And that servant of yours..." he made a sound as a small grin creeped up into his face, "...well, where she going, death will be like a blessing to her." I shut my eyes as a sob broke out of me, I heard aemond coo as he caress my hair making reopen my eyes.

"Aemond--" I whispered.

"I rather not have to do the latter, neice. Long rides are always tedious, and I do wish not to raise our child in a tower." He interrupted, I didn't want that either, I rather death but I know he would not give that to me either.

So, what choice do I have?

"What would it be, dove." Aemond and I stare at each other a moment before I finally will myself to speak.

"I...If you do not take me now, and give me time to heal, I promise..." I sniff, "...I will give you a child, only if you do not force yourself upon me ever again." Aemond look down at me with clench her jaw before it slate.

"That's all?" He questions.

"And you will leave me and enith be, I do not wish to be lied to or lead astray again, I just want to leave out my days with only enith and my child." Aemond drones as I wait for his response, I glance away from to hoping that he will make a decision, so he could get off me.

"Deal." I snap my head forward to look up at him as a small smile stare at me back, "But, I have a few terms of my own," I remain quiet waiting for him to continue, "One being I would like to lay with you again without trying to produce a heir," He look at me expectedly, at this point I just wish him to be off of me.

"Fine." I said carelessly making smile.

"And no more outburst, as much as amusing it was seeing ser cole lick his wounds, I didn't appreciate my mother's disheveled look." He condemns, I lift my head making him tilt his own.

"Your mother got what she deserve, what kind of horrible woman buries another woman's child and not have the gull to invite her." I hissed, Aemond stare at me for a minute as I drop my head before speaking.

"Yes..." he starts slowly, "...what she did was...distasteful but violence is never the answer." I glare at me as he mocks me with a smile, "So, no more outburst?" I roll my eyes turning away from him.

"No promises." I heard him chuckle, before using his hand to brush against my jaw before turning me to a him.

"I think this new attitude on you is growing on me, dove." I blink callous up at him.

"If we have ourseleves a deal, can you get off me now." He could only stare at me with a glint of amusement.

"Now, now, dove, every deal must be seal with a kiss." Before i could turn my head, Aemond held me by my jaw so I could move snd press his lips against mines.

My hands went to his chest as his teeth bite my bottom lip, his tongue slide along my lips before plunging into my mouth. I felt his other hand grope my chest as I shift against me, I tap his shoulder before hitting his shoulder. He finally pull away, just as swiftly he got off he pulled me up on my feet, he held me against by my hips. I look up at him with dismay look as he stare at me with a small triumph smile.

"I love you, wife." He says making me curl my lip.

"I hate you, husband." Aemond smiled grew.

For a second I thought he look better if he smiled more.

"Your highness." Both me and aemond looked towards the door to see Ser Krey looking at Aemond warily before me, "Is everything alright?" He asked.

"Everything is fine, Ser Krey." Aemond said pulling away from me, Ser Krey glance at Aemond before looking me again.

"Princess, is everything alright?" I glance at Aemond seeing him narrow his stare at Krey, I look away back to the knight.

"Yes, everything's fine. I was just bidding my husband a good evening." I gave him a small smile to reassure him, he didn't look very convince but he nodded anyway.

"Alright...I was told that I needed to show you to your new chamber." I nod at Krey, I took a step forward but before I could leave Aemond's side, he took my elbow into his hand stopping me.

I glance at him as he still held a look as he stare at Ser Krey, when he did finally look away from the young man, without warning he turn to me pecking my forehead.

"Don't forget our deal, wife." He finally pulled away, stalking from me and pass Ser Krey.

Krey watch as Aemond exit the room, his eyes linger still when I came to stand parallel to him.

"We should get going, the night is growing near." Krey tore his eyes away from where Aemond left to look at me.

"Are you alright." He asked again, I nod.

"Yes, I am fine."

"Did he hurt you?" I furrow my brows at the concern etched into his features.

I slowly shook my head, he sigh out of relief. He gave me a smile before holding his arm for me to take, I gave him a timid smile and took it, before he lead us out. I look back inside the solar one last time, before closing the door behind me.

Keep Me Near Your Heart XVII

After looking for Aemond in his chamber, Jaenara makes her way towards her own in a haste. She didn't know what she was going to say to him, or explain how her brother knew about Ser Krey, all she hope was that he wouldn't be mad at her even through he should. She told him she ended things with Krey only to turn around and sleep with him again, it was ironic she knows but the old aemond would have deserve to be embarrassed like that. Not this man who done nothing but coddle her and her unborn son, she couldn't get the crush look on Aemond's face out of her head.

Jaenara burst through her door scaring Aemond from his lean over position as he sat on the edge of the bed.

"Aemond." Jaenara breathe out closing the door behind before making her way towards her husband, Aemond averted his gaze from her as he stood, "Aemond, I'm so sorry that that happened." she started with a apologic look.

"Don't be." He replied making her frown, he looks at her with a small smile, "In a way we are even now, we can finally put the past behind us, right." Jaenara was speechless, she didn't expect him to be so  docile.

"Aemond, I think we should talk–" Aemond moves away from her before could finish her sentence, he startes unbuttoned his vest.

"Why? There's no need. I presume you ended things with him again, yes?" He turns to look at me as he shed his vest, jaenara nod dumbly making him smile widen a bit, "See no need to talk about it, I'm moving on, your moving on, together once our son comes we all can put this behind us and become a family." He said turning away yet again as he take off his shirt and fold it before setting it on the table.

"Aemond...are you alright?" She asked dumbly, it is obvious he isn't okay but she had to ask anyway, Aemond look towards her with an reassure look as he makes his way towards her.

"Of course, my love." Jaenara eyed him as his hands brush along her arms.

"You don't seem alright, husband." Aemond looks from watching himself caress her arm to her face, jaenara look at her husband even more uncertain about his wellbeing as he chuckle and shook his head.

"Maybe, your right...I am a bit tired, the dinner took a lot outta me." He says, "Let me release you from this gown, and we can just...cuddle tonight, how does that sound." Jaenara squint looking him in the eye, it was obvious he was going through something but wasn't ready to acknowledge it yet.

"Okay." She defeated, Aemond grins in triumph making jaenara turn around and let aemond loosen the strings in the back of her gown.

The gown sagged against her before falling off her shoulders, Aemond carefully pulled the gown passed her bump and hips before making it fall to the floor leaving her in her chemise. Aemond helps her in bed before he went around the room to blow out the candles leaving the only light from the fireplace to help him see around the room, Aemond got under the covers laying on his side with his chest to jaenara's back. His arm was thrown over her hip so his hand can rub his wife's belly, jaenara laid there frozen with no idea what was happening to Aemond.

"Goodnight, husband." She finally said after laying in timid silence for moment, Aemond hummed moving his face to bury into her neck as he held her to him.

"Goodnight, my love." He mumbled as jaenara laid awake looking at the wall in deep thought.

「                            ⊹₊♚₊⊹                           」

It was mid-afternoon when Jaenara and Aemond arrived in the throne room, a servant came to them in the early morning to tell them that the king requested their appearance in the throne room. Aemond and Jaenara shared a confused look once the servant left, they were both confuse to know what Viserys wanted to speak to them about. Jaenara couldn't help but be scared and nervous, the thought of what happened during dinner, she feared that her grandsire would reprimand her for her infidelity.

She voice her concern to Aemond, he still has yet to talk about it with her, but nonetheless he promised her that he would stand by her and speak up for her if the king decided to punish her. Jaenara couldn't help but feel grateful for Aemond, she truely hope that nothing happens, Krey didn't deserve to be punish for loving her. As she thinks about him, she hasn't seen him since her mother caught him in her chamber, a dread nestle in her chest that maybe something already happened to him.

Jaenara had to shake her head at such thoughts, she didn't need to be getting emotional before seeing her grandsire. She needed a clear and level head, if she was going to survive this meeting.

You can imagine her surprise when she got there to find that they weren't the only ones called into the throne room, Rhaelle and Daemon was there along with Rhaenyra and Jacerys, the couple were far away from the mother and son, jaenara got the sense that they were still angry with their wife and step-son actions from the dinner party. Alicent was also there standing close to the throne with her father, if looks could kill jaenara would have been dead the moment she walk in. Alicent and Otto glared at the young princess with a smug look, which if you know means something isn't right and that this meeting was going to not be in her favor.

Hand to hand, Jaenara and Aemond stopped in the middle of the room, they bowed to their king. Viserys watch them with an neutral look, he didn't look angry or bothered, he seems rather calm which made Jaenara feel a little at ease.

"I wish to speak with my family alone." Viserys started turn to his sworn sword, the knight gave a swift nod before beckoning his knights to follow.

Jaenara glance at Aemond as he did the same to her, they look at the king again as the doors closed leaving the family to their own devices. It was quiet, so quiet that jaenara could hear the scatter of rats in the walls, jaenara's eyes wondered away from her grandsire as they focus on the carvings on the pillars.

The sound of her name being called made jaenara snap her head back to her grandfather, "...is there something you wish to say?" He asked, jaenara swallow and glance around, she look at her husband who gave her a reassuring smile, she let out a deep breathe before she look at her grandsire.

"Yes," She answer letting go of Aemond's hand to step forward, "I wish to apologize to you...to all of you for my actions, I know my infidelity disappointed you grandfather," She look up at him with misty eyes, "And you auntie," she looks at rhaelle, the woman gives the young girl a sad smile and a look that told her she knows and it was okay, Jaenara looks back Viserys, "What I did can never be forgiven even through my husband forgave me," Aemond gives her a small smile when she looks back at him, "But, I am willing to serve any punishment that you see fit for my actions, but before you do you must know that I never meant to hurt Aemond–"

"But, yet you did." Alicent chimed making Jaenara glance her way before looking back at her grandsire.

"Aemond and I don't have the perfect marriage, in the beginning it was very...rough for me, he hurt me in ways that..." Jaenara pause, rhaelle narrow her eyes at her neice, "... all i can say is along the way deep down I wanted to hurt him right back, maybe even more." Jaenara confessed making the king peer at her in thought, "But, I had a lapse in judgment and I am dealing with the consequences, Aemond and I have rekindle, all we wish to do is move on with our child." Alicent scoff at the mention of the babe, jaenara and aemond look over at her as she stepped forward.

"You mean your bastard." Alicent quipped.

"Mother." Aemond  growled as he gives her a look that makes Alicent glare at her son.

"How you can you be okay with is, Aemond. Have I raise you with no sense, why are you speaking up for this who–" Alicent chastised.

"Watch yourself, mother." Aemond snapped, numerous of wide eyes were on him, Alicent look at her son in shock, "That is my wife your speaking about." Jaenara glance between the mother and son in distress, this was not what she hope for.

"Aemond." She said taken back, Aemond step close to stand by his wife's side, "You can't be serious about taking her side over mine."

"There's no sides to take, mother. Jaenara is carrying my child, period." He said firmly making his mother let out a breathe of disbelief, Otto stood behind his daughter shaking his head with a look of disgust.

"How do you know the child is yours, we do not know how long the princess has been taken to bed by this knight." Otto accused glance at the king before looking at his grandson, "Can you truely say that that child is yours–"

"Yes." Aemond says without hesitation, "I can, he is mine and I will continue to say it until my last breathe. The child is mine." Otto stare at his grandson in a mixture of emotions, Aemond raise a brow at his grandsire making the older man purse his lips and look away from him.

"I think I heard enough." Viserys finally says making everyone look at him, he looks at Jaenara as he speaks, "As I sit here and watch you, all I can think is how I failed you in so many ways..." Jaenara looked at him shocked, "...your aunt warned me and I didn't listen, no, I didn't care and I am sorry for that, my child." Viserys gives a regretful look, "After what concor nights ago, I converse with my hand and dear wife on the matter..." Jaenara glance over at Alicent and Otto to see them with their head raise high with smirks, "...so, I took it upon my myself to send Ser Krey away."

It felt like everyone eyes were on Jaenara as the air left the room, Jaenara stood frozen feeling a bit dizzy at her grandsire words. But, she hide it, she hid the sadness and the fear that swirl in her heart.

"To the wall?" Rhaelle asked with a frown, Jaenara didn't glance at her aunt as she stood to stare ahead at her king.

"No, I sent him back home to the Vale, where he will do his duty and become Lord of  Stonemount." Viserys looks away from Rhaelle to Jaenara, "Where he will be married off to Annalyse Royce, and hopefully do his father proud and continue on his legacy." Viserys study his granddaughters face, but Jaenara held her emotions in staring at him with a blank look.

"What of the princess and her child, husband." Alicent asked making Jaenara and Viserys look at her, "Will her infidelity go unpunish as well?" Viserys gives a small frown.

"The girl made a mistake, Alicent." The Queen press her lips together in anger, "...just like you did when you laid with Baelor." Both Jaenara and Aemond eyes widen in shock as they turn look at Alicent, The Queen stood there with a look of shock and horror at her husband's words, "I never blame you or was angry with you when you fell pregnant with his son, I knew you had a lapse in judgment and baelor was just a silly boy that wanted nothing more than to get back at me for what I put his mother through." Jaenara glance over at Rhaelle, who was just as shock not expecting the king to sprout those words in front of others.

"I...I.." Alicent was flabbergasted as she looks around before clasping her mouth shut and bowing her head in embarrassment.

"Jacerys." Viserys called making Jace perk up with wide eyes as he look up to his grandfather, "You are the one who started all this mess, I think it is only fair you should be the one to apologize to your sister and uncle." Rhaenyra mouth fall open in shock.

"But, father, he shouldnt have to apologize for something so miniture." Rhaenyra started as she step forward, viserys shift in his chair and focus his gaze on his eldest daughter.

"Was it not him who told Jaenara that she couldn't name her child after her father?" Viserys ask.

"Yes, but–"

"Was it not him that called her child, your grandchild, his soon to be neice or nephew a bastard unprovoked?" Rhaenyra swallow at her father questioning, "Was it not him that brought Ser Krey into this in the first place, my daughter? While you stood aside and allow him to slander your daughter's name." Viserys used his sword to help him stand up, Rhaenyra looks down like a kick dog when her father's tone became firm, "I ask you a question, Rhaenyra, and I expect you to look at me when you answer." Rhaenyra's throat contract before she lifted up her head to see her father limping down the steps.

"Yes, my king." She finally answered in a small voice.

Jaenara and Aemond move out the way as Viaerys walk pass them to stand and look towards his daughter and grandson.

"I have turn a blind eye to many things over the years, Rhaenyra." He huffed, "All because you are my daughter, but I will no longer turn a blind eye to your daughter's mistreatment any longer." He states firmly with a stern look, Rhaenyra shuffle in her feet in one place like a child being scolded.

"Yes, father." She answered with hint of dismay, Viserys narrow his eyes at his daughter and stepped forward again catching her attention.

"You should be thanking the gods Rhaenyra that I'm not making you get on your knees in beg for that child's forgiveness." He chided making his daughter frown as she shrinks, "But, since you have so much pride and I have no energy to go back and forth with you,  I will leave you be for now but do expect another talk to come your way once this is over. Do you understand Me?" Rhaenyra nodded her meekly, Viserys hmmed before turning towards his grandson, "Don't you have something to say, boy." Jace looks at his mother before looking at his grandsire, he bow his head and stepped forward going to Jaenara and Aemond.

He look at them as Jaenara stare at him with an uncomfortable expression, Aemond held a small smirk as he watch his nephew look gather the courage to speech.

"I'm...I'm sorry for what I said the other night, It was stupid and hurtful, I didn't mean it. Any of it. Like you said I was drunk." Jacerys couldn't look his sister in the eye as he spoke, neither could jaenara, she never thought in her many years of living that her grandfather would talk down to his daughter and make her brother apologize.

"It's okay, jacerys. Thank you." He flick his eyes up to contact with her own, she saw the anger and dismay that swirl around them.

"Now, let's put this all to rest and move on, I would rather not have celebration end on a sour note," The kings says as he walks away, Otto follows suit with an unsatisfied look.

Jacerys and Rhaenyra was quick to leave as well, probably to go lick their wounds, leaving only Alicent, Aemond, Jaenara, Rhaelle and Daemon in the throne room.

"Aemond." The prince and the princess turn to look at their uncle coming their way, Aemond swallow before raising his head with a cool look, "Let's take a walk." Daemon says firmly before turning to walk away, Aemond glance at his wife slighlty worried, but gave him a small reassuring smile.

Jaenara squeeze his arm, before letting him go, Aemond followed quickly after him leaving three in the hall. Jaenara look over at her aunt standing off to the side looking at her, just as jaenara made her way towards her, Alicent move to block making jaenara look at the older woman with a raise brow.

"You may have trick my son into caring for that bastard in your belly, but do not celebrate too soon. He will see you for what you truely are and he will get rid of you." She scowled, a small smile etch it's way on to her lips making Alicent look like she was about to combust.

"I doubt that, my queen." Jaenara resorted back before shouldering pass her towards her aunt, Alicent growl before stalking out of the throne room.

Rhaelle met her neice halfway before walking towards the doors, "She doesn't look happy, what did you say to her." Rhaelle asked curious.

"Just something she knows that is true." Jaenara turn her head to give a small smile, rhaelle nod her head feeling that that is all she going to get from the young princess, "Should I be worried that Daemon wanted to talk to Aemond." She asked, rhaelle chuckle before shaking her head.

"Only a little bit, your uncle is pretty unpredictable." Rhaelle answered.

"And yet you always know what his about to do." Rhaelle smile fondly as they stop outside in the hall.

"Yes, well when you been marry to someone as long as I have you begun to see a pattern with them." Jaenara hummed with a thoughtful look, rhaelle notice and reach up to move a curl behind her niece's ear.

"Do you wish to talk about it?" Rhaelle asked with a sympathetic look, jaenara grin a bit before shaking her head.

"There's nothing to talk about, Aemond and I moving pass it."

"I wasn't talking about Aemond." Jaenara looks at her aunt, her eyes flicker between her aunt before looking away.

"His nothing to talk about, his in the past." Jaenara says solemnly, Rhaelle sighs grabbing jaenara's aem to pull the girl to her.

She wrapped the young princess in a hug, jaenara stood there for a moment before she wrap her arms around her aunt's waist. Why couldn't her mother be like rhaelle, she thought, why couldn't she love her like rhaelle.

"If ever need to talk I'm always here, my dear." Jaenara nod rubbing her face against rhaelle's shoulder as she close her eyes, letting herself feel the love and care that she never got from her mother in the hug.

Rhaelle held her tight knowing the younger princess needed it more than ever.

Keep Me Near Your Heart IV

Jaenara woke up with a pounding heart, her body shivering from the nightmare she just had and last night's events. She glanced at the empty side of the bed where Aemond had slept, feeling a pang of both longing and apprehension. She looked away from the empty spot to see Enith passed out in the armchair in front of the fireplace, Jaenara frowned at the state the maid was in and pushed the covers from her abdomen getting out of bed.

The poor woman's back was probably sore from how she was sleeping, jaenara walked over to Enith and tapped her shoulder but nothing happened so she did it the second time, and nothing happened again, so she grabbed enith's shoulder and shook her causing the young woman to stir and grumble.

"...huh, what," she said drowsily before snorting unladylike as she slowly drifted back to sleep making Jaenara's brows fly up in shock.

"Uh, I...I don't mean to wake you," Both of Enith's eyes snapped open when she heard her lady's voice, jaenara stepped back in surprise as Enith scrambled up off the chair using her fingers to brush her back in place.

"Forgive me, princess," Enith says with her hands clasped in front of her and head bowed, "I didn't mean to fall asleep--"

"It's alright, it happens," Jaenara replied softly making Enith lift her head quickly to look at the young princess.

Enith watched as Jaenara stepped away from her and turned back to the bed before back on and under the covers, Jaenara huffed as she soothed out the blanket before looking at Enith.

"Enith," Jaenara called making the handmaid turn towards her young mistress with wide and curious eyes, "I think I shall have my breakfast in bed," The thought of getting out of bed and getting dressed in only god knows how many layers and just to sit around your quarters doing nothing but reading and looking out the window out to the garden.

"Of course, princess." Enith says coming up to stand at the end of the bed, "Is there anything particular you would like for breakfast, m'lady." Enith asked, making Jaenara think about it for a moment.

"Some crumpets with a bit of honey will be nice." She said.

Enith smiles and nods.

"Crumpets with honey, excellent choice, m'lady." A small smile etched its way onto Jaenara's lips.

As Enith turns away to carry out her mistress's order, Jaenara faces away from the maid to look at the spot she slept in last night. Her mind wandered to last night and everything that happened, jaenara wrapped her arms around herself at the distance memory of Ser Cole's cackle. It made her remember why she needed to see Aemond.

"Enith," Jaenara called suddenly with her eyes remaining on the empty spot, the young maid stopped in the doorway and looked at her mistress, "If you...have the chance..." Jaenara looks over at Enith, "...will you see where my lord husband is." Enith stared at Jaenara for a moment thinking about going against her mistress' wishes, she hadn't been there for long but she could already tell that the prince was no good, but what royalty are.

"Of course, m'lady." Enith finally says making Jaenara nod her head in gratitude before leaning back against the headboard, Enith bows before turning around leaving Jaenara alone with her thoughts.

「                            ⊹₊♚₊⊹                           」

As the morning sun cast a soft glow on the courtyard of the Red Keep, Jaenara spotted Aemond sitting alone on a stone bench, lost in thought. She approached him cautiously, her voice trembling as she spoke. "Aemond, we need to talk."

He looked up, his eyes filled with a mix of sorrow and confusion. "Jaenara?" His gaze flickered towards her face, a flicker of something crossing his expression before he quickly masked it. "What do you want to talk about?" He said as he turned his body to look at his wife.

"We will get to that...but first, where were last night?" She questioned, "I woke up and you weren't there, and the same for this morning." Aemond cast his gaze else before he planted his hands on his thighs and stood up.

"I couldn't sleep...so I returned to my old chambers after I went for a walk." He said Jaenara nodded her head slowly thinking why he couldn't return to their chambers, but she didn't want to question him even more than she needed to.

She wasn't there to know where he was last night, but to tell him some terrible news about his mother's knight and his mentor/father figure.

"Why are you asking me all these things, dove," Aemond asked as he walked up to Jaenara making her look up at him nervous.

Summoning all her strength, Jaenara took a deep breath and uttered the words that had been haunting her since the attack. "Aemond...Ser Cole attacked me last night."

It took Aemond a while for the words his wife said to register in his head before a scoff broke out of him making Jaenara frown. "That's impossible. Ser Cole wouldn't do that--"

"Aemond--"

"I have known him since I was a mere boy, Ser Criston is a noble and honorable man. He would never do something so horrible, especially to a princess." Aemond says taking a step forward glaring down at his wife, making Jaenara turn her eyes to the pebble floor, "So, are you telling me that man did something to you, why was he in our quarters." Jaenara looks up at him with tears I'm her eyes.

"I don't know, I woke and you were gone and when I didn't see you in the solar I thought to go look for you but then the door was locked and..." Jaenara couldn't stop rambling, she knew Aemond was going to be mad or even angry but it felt like he was blaming her, "...he unlocked the door he said it was for my protection that it be locked, and started saying things that made me feel uncomfortable and unsafe--"

"Unsafe? What did he say?" Jaenara shrugged her shoulders and tried to remember what Ser Cole said.

"I don't...I can't remember..but it was something about my mother and then he tried to kiss me and..." She trailed in distress shaking her head, she sniffed trying to keep her tears at bay, "...I was scared, aemond." She flicked her teary eyes up at him, aemond stared at her with a blank look contemplating if he believed her or not.

"If he attacked you then where are the bruises, hmm?" Jaenara didn't see any bruises on her when she dressed this morning, even though Ser Cole had been handling her like a rag doll, "Where are they, jaenara?" He challenged making tears slip down her cheek.

Her heart sank, realizing the enormous obstacle she faced. Even the person closest to her seemed to underestimate the gravity of her words. "Aemond, I understand this is difficult for you to accept, but Ser Cole did attack me, I saw his face, and heard his voice clear as day. I do not think there be a day that passes that I don't remember what he did to me." She said looking up at him.

A flicker of belief passed over aemond's face, but he quickly regained his composure. "I need proof, Jaenara. Accusing my mother's sworn sword and a loyal knight to our house without evidence could blow back in our faces..." he states, jaenara didn't have any proof, all the individuals present when Ser Cole attacked her were her and him, the others present after was Ser Ashford and Ser Krey.

Ser Ashford wasn't going to defend her nor Ser Krey even though it did look like he was worried about her. But, his loyalty lies with his brethren rather than the princess they have sworn to protect, and Enith gets there a bit too late but Jaenara doubts even if she had been there, she would have stayed silent as well.

"So, I must ask you, jaenara..." The young princess snaps back to the present and looks uncertainly at Aemond, "...Is it possible that you could....have dreamed or mistaken Ser Cole's advances." Jaenara staggered back from Aemond with wide eyes as if she had just been slapped, she couldn't believe he was asking her that.

More tears welled up in her eyes as her dread grew. "No." She argued, "I-I didn't imagine him attacking me, Aemond. I know he did." She insisted, aemond sighed jaded, his shoulders slumping as he looked at Jaenara, she could see the mixture of skeptical and weariness in his eye, "How can you not believe me after everything I just said, how can you doubt me, You wife of all people...over him." Jaenara couldn't deny that she was mad at Aemond, she wished that this could have gone a different way and not the way she already knew was going to go for her.

Aemond ran a hand through his shining silk hair. His voice softened, yet remained firm. "Jaenara, please understand that I love you. But you cannot simply point fingers at a trusted knight like Ser Cole without concrete evidence." Jaenara closed her eyes feeling betrayed by her husband, "But..." he said making her look at him, "I will look into it and find out the truth myself,"

"You will?" She asked with a glimmer of hope, Aemond nodded his head before putting his hand on Jaenara's arm.

"I will get to the bottom of this mess, but you must do something for me." Aemond inquired making Jaenara ask him what it was wanting to be helpful, "Trust me." Was all he said before pecking the top of her head.

Trust him. She could do that she thought, Aemond never lied to her before so if he says he will deal with it he will deal with it.

"I trust you, Aemond. With all my heart." Jaenara said softly.

Aemond paused, looking at Jaenara, her eyes held so much emotions that it touched something in him when she saw a single tear slide down the corner of her eye. A sudden feeling sparked inside of Aemond, he moved his hand to flicker away the tear making Jaenara look away shyly at the action.

"It's nice out. Let's go for a walk around the garden to clear your head" Aemond suggested sweetly, holding out his arm for her, jaenara took it with a gracious smile before being led away towards the garden.

「                            ⊹₊♚₊⊹                           」

Jaenara was in her quarters reading when her husband, Aemond, burst through the door accompanied by the last man she wanted to see. Startled, Jaenara looked up from her book, her lavender eyes wide with surprise.

"What is this, Aemond?" she blurted out standing up, her voice laced with fear as she stared at Ser Cole.

Aemond's normally calm demeanor was replaced by a distinct air of determination as he approached, striding purposefully across the great chamber. "Dove," he began, his voice trembling with intensity, "We need to talk."

Her heart raced as a foreboding sense of unease settled over her. Ser Cole didn't have shackles on his wrists and ankles indicating that he wasn't under arrest for his crime against her, Jaenara looked at her husband fuming next to a smug Criston.

"Aemond, why have you brought him here?" she asked, her voice tinged with both trepidation, moving her hands to ball at her skirt.

Aemond paused, his grip tightening on the hilt of his sword, his knuckles turning white. "This man," he declared with a mixture of anger and determination, "is the very same man you accused of attacking you many moons ago, is that right?" Jaenara started to tremble as she nodded her head.

"Ye-yes he did--why is he here, Aemond?" Jaenara questioned unnerved by the other man's presence.

Aemond's throat contracted as he let go of his sword and stalked toward Jaenara, she didn't understand what was going on, she didn't understand why aemond looked so angry while Criston looked like he hit a gold mine. But, it doesn't matter why because what happens next is fill in the blanks.

"He is here for you," Aemond said darkly making Jaenara look at him frightened, aemond grabbed Jaenara by the arm roughly pulling her along.

"What, what do you mean--" She asked frantically as she dug her heels into the floor to keep from going any further, aemond was twice her size and could easily toss her over his shoulder but he settled with just shoving her.

Aemond pushed Jaenara roughly making her fall to the floor in front of Criston, she pushed herself up and looked up at him before looking at her husband who moved to squat down to be at level with her.

"Apologize." He demanded making Jaenara look at him confused.

"For what--what for?" She asked making aemond clench his jaw.

"You lied to me." He simply said before continuing, "You told me he attacked you‐‐"

"He did!" She cries, "Aemond, why would I lie to you." Aemond slapped Jaenara's hand as she reached out for him.

"Why didn't you tell me Ser Ashford and Ser Krey were there?" He asked suddenly making Jaenara look at him speechless that he knew, she looked over at Ser Cole and wondered what he told her husband, "Jaenara, look at me...said look at me!" Jaenara's face was turned roughly by aemond as he grasped her jaw, his gripe causing her eyes to well up and her hand to go to his wrist, "I ask you question and I want answers." Jaenara was crying mess on the floor, she didn't understand why this was happening to her, she hadn't done anything bad to Ser Cole or Ser Ashford yet they hurt her in a way she had never been hurt before it was worse than alys ignoring her.

"ANSWER ME!" He bellowed angrily making Jaenara flinch and cry even more.

"...I don't know, okay I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I..." She cried shaking her head, she didn't know why she was apologizing, it wasn't her fault, she wished Aemond would see that.

"I'm not the one you should be apologizing to." Aemond said turning his nose up at her scornful, "Get up." He spit grabbing her arm roughly and bringing her up with him, "Apologize now." He demanded firmly staring her down as they stood in front of Ser. Ole.

Jaenara's eyes were trained on the floor when she peeked up at Ser Cole, the older man wore a placid look but inside he was celebrating the look of defeat on Jaenara's soft features.

"Aemond, I...I can't." She whispered after she looked back down to the floor doleful.

Aemond clenched his jaw at Jaenara's stubbornness, he towered over her making her shrink and slowly back away from him but aemond's hand grasped her wrist before she could move any further.

"You will apologize or I will have that servant whip for attacking Ser Cole." He threatened, Jaenara looked at Aemond's confound.

"She...She has nothing to do with this, she wasn't even here when he attacked--" Jaenara squeaked in fright as Aemond's grip tightened on the spot above her elbow, his nails dug through the fabric, certain this time a bruise would be left.

He turned her so she could be in front of him.

"ENOUGH!" He bellowed angryily getting fed up with her "lies", Jaenara trembled next to him hiding her face, "Ser Ashford corroborated his story, so did Ser Krey, are you telling me they are liars too, that they would lie to their prince!" He shouted jaenara sniff willing herself to look at Aemond.

The intense glare was intolerable it made her want to look away but at the same time it didn't, it was obvious that Aemond believed Ser Cole over her. Especially with witnesses to back up the knight's story. So, what can she do? The small hope of aemond finding proof of Ser Cole's crime was long gone now, if she continued, she knew that Enith would be punished and Aemond would hate her forever unless...

"...I..l.." Jaenara gulped before licking her lips, she spoke in a low whisper, "...If I apologize...promise me you'll keep him away from me," Aemond squinted at her before he looked at Criston, the older man stood looking at them, but the knight's attention was solely on jaenara.

A glint that Aemond saw whenever Ser Cole talked to a maiden or his mother, he looked away from the knight and back at Jaenara. Aemond wasn't sure at first when Jaenara told him about Ser Cole and he kept his word to her about getting the truth, and in the beginning, he did find out more about what occurred that night. He talked to servants who were in the wing when it happened, and they reported hearing feminine screams, and when he went to confront Criston. He was met with Ser Ashford and Ser Krey, and the older man explained what happened and Ser Krey backed him.

There was something off that he couldn't put his fingers on, the young knight, Krey, seemed skittish and unsure. But, he didn't wish to go further with investigating the situation, he had better things to do than chase down his wife's lies.

"Fine." He agreed with an eye roll before letting her go.

Jaenara took in a shaky breath before she turned around slowly, her eyes trained on the ground as she tried to urge herself to look up at the man and be done. Jaenara lifted her eyes to see Ser Cole standing there like self self-righteous statue with a look that made her want to...Jaenara exhaled through her nose before mumbling out her apology.

Ser Cole raised a brow, he took a step closer making Jaenara take a quick one back only to bump into Aemond's chest.

"I didn't quite catch that, princess. Can you repeat yourself?" Jaenara grinds her teeth together before repeating herself.

"...I'm sorry--" She started.

"Speak up, mouse." He goaded making Jaenara bite her tongue at the new nickname.

"...I said I'm sorry, Ser Cole." She repeated louder making Cridton lean back with a small smile.

"I forgive you, princess."

Jaenara huffed angrily before turning on her heels, she sidestepped Aemond and bolted towards her room, she closed and locked the door behind her. She didn't have the energy to see or talk to Aemond, he could go sleep on the sette or his old chamber. Jaenara isn't a violent person, but she never in her life wanted to cause harm to someone so bad, chilling thoughts of making Ser Cole pay for what he did bring a bit of comfort to Jaenara, but it also scared her.

Keep Me Near Your Heart V

It was mid-afternoon when Jaenara sat in the great chamber, engrossed in a book she had been reading for hours. She felt a sudden pain in her abdomen and lower back, and a wave of nausea swept over her. She has been feeling this way since this morning, she hoped it didn't have anything to do with what she ate, she also has been throwing up a lot lately too. She didn't worry too much about it when she went to the healers they said she was fine and she believed them, they gave her something for the pain but it only made her sleepy. So, all she really could do was hope it would pass.

Another wave hit her making her wince silently and put her book down beside her, just as she moved to plant her feet and put her hand on her stomach, Enith walked out of her room.

When Enith noticed the distress on Jaenara's face worry filled her heart making her rush to her young mistress's side. "My lady, are you feeling unwell? Should I fetch the healers?"

But Jaenara shook her head, her voice trembling as she spoke. "N-No, Enith. I'll be fine. Just give me a moment." When Einth didn't move, Jaenara swallowed down the vile that threatened to come up her throat, "...really, I'm fine, please go finish your chores."

Enith's brow furrowed with concern, but she obeyed Jaenara's wishes and left to straighten up the chamber, trying to soothe herself through the pain, jaenara took to doing a breathing method that her aunt showed her when she was anxious. Jaenara closed her eyes and relaxed as she put her hand on her chest and took a deep inhale for four seconds before holding her breath for seven seconds, before exhaling for eight seconds, she repeated the motions four times, and before she realized it the pain lessened.

Jaenara grabbed her book flipped back to the page she was reading, and continued with her reading, even though the dull pain remained it wasn't bothering her as bad as it had all morning.

When the skies outside turned black, and Jaenara's eyes started to feel heavy and itchy, she decided it was time for bed. She closed the book not before folding the top of the page she was reading before laying it on the small table in front of her, she turned in her seat looking around for Enith but didn't see her. Jaenara used the arm of the settee to get up to check in her chamber, but she swayed a bit catching herself on the arm as a wave of dizziness hit her. She groaned low before moving away from the settee, she trudged towards her chamber door before pushing it open and walking inside, when she didn't see Enith in there, jaenara turned to leave.

"...ah!" Jaenara exclaims as a sharp pain strikes through her stomach making her collapse on the floor, she groans in pain her nails digging into the floor as her arm clenches around her stomach.

As Jaenara lay curled in anguish on the floor, the door in the great chamber opened, jaenara couldn't move or speak, the pain was like fire and it was all over her and she couldn't get it to stop.

"...help." she croak out, "...enith.." she called out, "... please, help." She cries out hoping that Enith heard her.

When hope seemed to be lost, she heard a creak and a sharp gasp.

"Princess." The voice was male and it sounded familiar, jaenara felt a hand on her shoulder.

"...please, help me to my bed." Jaenara pleads, and the man grunts in response as he moves to turn Jaenara on her back.

She whimpered and looked up to see Ser Krey, she moaned in pain and turned her face away from him shaking her head.

"No..not you, go.." Jaenara groaned, "...anyone but you...go find Enith," Ser Krey looked taken back by the princess.

"I-I-I do not know w-where she is, m'lady." He asked, but all Jaeanra could do was whimper, "W-Why don't I go get your husband and the healers." As Ser Krey was about to move, jaenara's hand shot grabbing his wrist.

"P-please, don't leave me...please," Jaenara begged, Ser Krey looked at the door before looking at Jaenara.

"Alright, princess but have to move you to the bed, okay?" Jaenara didn't know if she could stand up, but she nodded nonetheless, she slowly moved being guided by Ser Krey's hand on her elbow as he helped her up.

Jaenara leaned against him, her legs wouldn't work the pain was too much to bear.

"M'lady?" Jaenara and Ser Krey look to see Enith standing with wide eyes in the doorway.

"Enith." Jaenara breathed out, Enith hurried towards Jaenara and held her at arm's length.

"My lady, what has happened--" Jaenara cries out cutting off Enith's worries, she bends over clenching her stomach as something trickles down her legs causing her to lift her gown, "Oh, no," Enith says looking down at the blood on the floor, princess jaenara looks at Enith with a confused look.

"What? What is wrong?" She asked, Enith looked back at her mistress with a sorrowful look.

"Oh, my lady..." Jaenara furrowed her brows before she could question another horrible pain racked through her causing her to cry, "...help her to the bed." Enith says looking at Ser Krey, he gives a curt nod, Enith grabs Jaenara's hand loops her arm, and helps her towards the bed, "...send for the maester." Enith commanded as she held on to Jaenara.

"Should I send for the prince as well?" Ser Krey asked, Enith was using her other hand to unloosen Jaenara's gown when she stopped to look at Ser Krey for a second.

"No. Not yet." Krey furrowed his brows confused about why he couldn't get the prince, but nodded his head anyway.

"What do I tell them, when they ask what's wrong with her?" Enith looked over at him before glancing at Jaenara who was bent over clenching the side of the bed, enith looked back at Krey and whispered low so the young princess wouldn't hear, "...tell them that she...miscarrying." Jaenara frowns at the word, it sounds familiar to her but can't remember what it means.

"Oh..." Was the only thing Krey could say, he glanced at Jaenara with sad eyes before he looked at Enith, "...oh..umm...okay, okay, I'll...I'll be back...I'll...get help" he said taking a step back, he looks at japan no last time before he strides out of the room.

Enith turned her attention back to Jaenara, working to get her gown off and into bed.

"What is happening to me?" Jaenara questioned, Enith took a brief look at Jaeanra before turning her eyes back to her fingers.

"You...You are miscarrying m'lady." Enith says peeling the gown down so Jaenara would be only in her linens.

"What does that mean," Jaenara asked, groaning as Enith helped her onto the bed, enith looked her in the eye searching for something before sighing sadly.

"It means you are losing the baby, m'lady," Enith says softly.

Jaenara swallow. She was lost for words. Her hand went to her stomach without thinking as she repeated the words in her head.

She lost the baby.

She was pregnant?

With Aemond's child.

A sob broke out of Jaenara, she covered her mouth as she cried, enith quickly got on the bed and pulled Jaenara into her hug.

"I'm so sorry, jaenara," Enith whispered as she rubbed the young girl's back in comfort, her heartache for her mistress, the poor girl didn't deserve this.

Jaenara pulled back to look at Enith, "We...can't tell aemond," Jaenara sniffed using the heel of her hand to wipe away her tears, "He can't know if he found out he will tell his mother and his mother would force him to take another to bed, I can't let that happened." Jaenara grabbed Enith's hand desperately, "...please, please, promise me you won't tell him." Enith looks down at Jaenara's hand on her before looking back.

Enith slowly nods heads, "I promise, m'lady." Jaenara searches Enith's face for any deception before sighing and dropping her head making Enith put her hand on Jaenara's shoulder, "...you must rest now, m'lady." Jaenara looked at Enith with sad eyes before nodding her head, Enith tucked Jaenara into bed, "I'll send for some tea." Jaenara remained only nodding, Enith gave Jaenara a sad smile before leaving.

Jaenara couldn't help but put her hand on her stomach when Enith closed the door behind her, she couldn't believe she lost it. She didn't even know she was pregnant, jaenara turned on her side and hid her face in the pillow, she cried silently alone. She wished alys was here to comfort her, she already knows what the other girl would do if she was here.

Alys would have crawled into bed behind her and held her to her, she would sing a song in high valyrian to take Jaenara's mind off the devastating news.

Jaenara sniffed and rubbed her face against the soft pillow, the thought of the child could have wrecked her heart and driven her mind insane. Deep down she knew that aemond was going to find out, and when he did she knew that he would be equally as devastated as she was at the loss of their child.

「                            ⊹₊♚₊⊹                           」

After the healers had left, Jaenara lay in bed, grief-stricken and exhausted from the ordeal of her miscarriage. Enith was on the other side of her with her head leaned against her young mistress, their hands threaded together. It was then that her husband, Aemond, arrived at her chambers.

Enith was the first to notice him, she sat up making Jaenara at her before following her gaze to her husband. His face was a mask of tense concern, but as his gaze fell on Jaenara, a flicker of something else, something darker, passed over his features.

"What happened?" Aemond demanded, his voice sharp and accusing. He stood at the end of the bed with his hands behind his back.

The tone of his voice made Jaenara frown and Enith glanced at him with a glint in her eyes, jaenara didn't know how she could say it. She didn't want to say. She wanted to forget. The pain of losing the fetus, what the maester called it, still lingered between her legs, she didn't want to talk about it.

"Well?" His voice rises making Jaenara cast her eyes down.

"I...I can't." Jaenara's chin started wobbling as she tried to get the words out, "I...I can't say it." She said dipping her chin in shame, aemond didn't speak as he stared at Jaenara.

When he was disturbed by Ser Krey, he thought little of what was happening to Jaenara. He remembered dismissing Ser Krey carelessly after the young knight told him something was wrong with his wife, the knight wouldn't leave even begging the prince to go see the princess, but aemond ignored him and went back to his studies. It wasn't until it was a lengthy moment of silence that Ser Krey finally told the prince what occurred, that many emotions went through aemond.

Sadness, Anger, Resentment, Pride, and a small glimmer of Hope. Aemond was almost a father, it proved that he was capable of having children, another thing that made him even better than Aegon. But, there was a small problem that was keeping him from actually being a father.

"Leave us. I need to speak to my wife alone." Aemond says looking at the servant next to Jaenara.

Enith glanced at the prince before looking at her lady, she didn't feel right leaving Jaenara alone with the prince, after what Jaenara told her about that night and how aemond made Janeara apologize to Criston, it made the servant a bit protective of her young mistress. When she didn't make a move to leave, Aemond gave a dark look at the servant's disobedience before he cast his gaze to his wife who was looking back at Enith with a sad look.

"It's okay, Enith." The handmaiden snapped out of her head and focused on her mistress, "I do not think I will be able to sleep, maybe some tea will help..." Jaenara trailed off.

Enith frowned but reluctantly nodded her head.

"Of course, princess." Enith moves to stand not before pressing a gentle kiss on the princess's hairline.

She moved away from the bed, her eyes watching aemond closely with a look that made Aemond almost snarled at her.

"I will not take too long, princess," Enith says before walking out of the room.

Aemond remained silent waiting for the other door to the great chamber to close before he put his attention back on Jaenara, the young princess was twiddling her thumbs sniffling.

"It seems your servant has forgotten her place yet again," Jaenara lifted her head to look at Aemond, "Or maybe, it is you that forgot to teach her...no worries, I will deal with her on my account." Jaenara's eyes widen.

"Aemond, please. She just protective of me--"

"Protective?" Aemond spits making Jaenara purse her lips, "That servant isn't here to protect you. I am." Jaeanra sat up a bit hissing lowly, aemond's frown bit at the pain evident on her face before straightening his lips when she looked at him.

"I know, my love. I know. It is just...me and Enith have gotten acquainted with one another that we created a bond." Aemond scoffed out a chuckle before settling with a sneer.

"Bond? That peasant hasn't been here nearly a moon, and you and she have created a...bond." He jeered making Jaenara lower her head.

She didn't understand why he was being like this, she knew he knew that she lost the baby, so why was he choosing to mock her rather than comfort her?

"Your naivety is so cute but so infernal. How I thought we could make a good match I would never know." He sighs with a disappointing shake of his head.

Jaenara couldn't help but stare at him in shock, she should be used to his cruel words now. It seems that's the only thing he knows how to speak to her nowadays, back then he was so charming, it feels that was centuries ago, it feels like she could never measure up to aemond no matter how hard she tries or how willing she is to let him take her every night. Their first time was painful but he was gentle and the experience was pleasurable, the second and third were just the same, she can't remember when but what was once something enjoyable to do with aemond was now something she dreaded.

He was no longer gentle but rough, it felt like a chore for her after Aemond's comment about wanting to start a family sooner rather than later. There was no longer pleasure in what they did well for her anyways, aemond seemed to enjoy himself more than she did. She remembered one night that he came to their chamber in the middle of the night waking her up from her slumber, during their act jaenara swore she heard him whisper another woman's name but chalked it up to being delirious from being woken up so early. The only good thing about it was that aemond finished fast and left leaving her to her own devices.

"Sometimes I think the same thing about you, husband." Aemond snaps his head towards her with a pointed look, jaenara swallows not believing that she just said that out loud.

"What did you just say?" He questions tersely.

Jaenara opened and closed her mouth before deciding just to bow her head and avert her eyes, Aemond's footsteps hurried making her look at him with fearful wide eyes as he made her way to her side of the bed. She moved to scoot back only to stop at the pain, the pain was soon forgotten when Aemond grabbed her jaw making her look at him.

"What did you just say to me?" He asked again through gritted teeth, jaenara grasped aemond's wrist and she quickly apologized.

"I'm--I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I don't know why I said it--" Aemond roughly let go out making her whimper and caressing her jaw.

"You dare to say that to me. Me! I have been nothing but a good husband--"

"I-I know and I'm sorry--"

"Do not interrupt me, if you do it again, wife or not, I will have you stripped and whipped for all of the kingdom to see, do you understand me." Jaenara stared at Aemond's timidity at his threat.

She knows that aemond is a man of his word but he wouldn't truly do that to her, would he?

"ANSWER ME." He shouts slamming his hand on the side table next to them making her flinch and shake her head frantically.

"Yes, yes, I understand." She cries slightly shaking.

Aemond huffed angrily as he sat up straight, he looked at her shaking form, the way she curled to the side away from him with her shaky hand wiping at her cheeks and nose. A shimmer of pity and regret twirled in Aemond's eyes before it disappeared, he reminded himself she was nothing to him, just a warm body with a womb.

"You lose our child..." Jaenara sniffs as she starts to hiccup, "...you deny me of being a father." Jaenara restrained herself from sobbing as he blames her.

"we can always try again, my love."

"Just so you can deny me again, disappoint me again." He said so harshly that Jaenara couldn't bear to look at him.

"It is not my fault," she said meekly, "The maester said so--"

"Then, the maester is an idiot." Aemond snapped, "Your wretched body killed my son." Jaenara snapped her eyes at her husband with a glare that had Aemond slightly taken back by the look in her eyes.

"He was my child as well not just yours, it was I who had to feel the pain of my baby leaving my body," Jaenara croaked out, she could handle him degrading her, she was used to it, but she would not allow him to pin this on her, "Maester told me that it could have been stress that caused the miscarriage, so tell me husband, what has happened in the past week that could have possibly  cause me to miscarry." Aemond blinked at Jaenara in shock, it was the first time in a while since she had seen any emotion that wasn't anger or annoyance appear on her husband's face, "Do not think too hard about it, husband. You are after all the scholar of the family." The tone was something that caught them both off guard.

Aemond's face twisted into a scowl, but the look didn't deter Jaenara, she wouldn't let him scare her. Not anymore.

"Once your body heals from your...condition, we will start again." He turns on his heels walking towards the open door, "Every night. Every day. Until you give me a son." He turned when he was in the doorway to look at Jaenara, "Until then, you will be locked in this solar." Aemond waited for Jaenara to say something but she didn't, she glanced away and turned to her side.

Aemond huffed grabbed the handle and shut the door behind him, jaenara listened to his footsteps and then to the sound of the great chamber door closing, it didn't take long for the tears to fall. She cried for her lost child, a child that didn't know if she wanted or not but she cried for him, she cried for aemond as well, deep down she knows the only he is like this is because he is under a lot of pressure from his mother to have a child. She just hopes that once she gives him what he wants, things can go back to the way it was when they first got married.

Keep Me Near Your Heart VI

Jaenara was waiting in the great chamber staring into the fire for Aemond's return, it had been a rough few moons, and aemond had kept to his promise and taken Jaenara night and day as well as keeping her trapped in the solar. The last time she was out was when her nameday arrived just around the corner, jaenara was relieved, to say the least when aemond told her of the celebration that viserys wanted to throw for her. She couldn't help but be giddy, after so long she was finally going to see her family.

It felt as if a large stone was lifted from her back making her able to breathe again, nothing could deter her excitement, not aemond, no one. She was so excited to see alys again and her aunt, she had been sending letters but she had yet to have one sent back to her making her wonder if they were mad at her. She wished she could have visited them, she had tried to leave the solar once by breaking the handle of the door only to find Ser Ashford and Ser Krey there standing guard in the corridor.

She remembered the disappointment that spread through her heart and the anger that soon replaced it when Ser Ashford shut the door in her face with a sneer.

But, like everything else that goes bad in her life, a day before her nameday she got a letter from her mother telling her that their family wouldn't be able to make it. It put a damper on her mood, and she spent the whole night sulking at the table while all the lords and ladies danced and had fun.

Deep down Jaenara only wanted her family to come to console her aunt about aemond, and possibly take her back home to Dragonstone.

Jaenara sighed looking away from the fire, she put the palm of her hands against her eyes as she started feeling herself get sleepy. She shook her head trying to stay awake, she needed to stay awake for aemond, hopefully, he get here soon. She thought his lateness would benefit her, and prepare her for what she was going to tell aemond when he came, she hoped he finally is pleased with what she had to say.

The sharp snap of the door made Jaenara flinch, she got up and turned towards her husband, and a sick feeling made its way into Jaenara's gut as she looked at Aemond's callous face. Aemond walks further inside his attention on the letter in his hand, he looks disgruntled and a bit sad.

"Husband." Jaenara greeted softly.

Aemond didn't acknowledge her as he stopped and kept his gaze on the letter, jaenara bit her bottom lip anxious, she was curious to know what it was on that letter that made Aemond look so angry.

"Aemond...I have news." Jaenara says fidgeting with her fingers as she watches Aemond warily, but it seems Aemond didn't hear or just ignoring her, he does that sometimes, "Aemond--"

"What," He pique making Jaenara clamp her lips shut from his heated glare.

Jaenara didn't say anything as she dipped her chin, he was angry and whatever it was that was on the letter made him that way, she knew he was going to be in a sour mood for the remainder of his stay. Maybe, it was best to tell him tomorrow, when he calm down.

"Nothing." She looks up at him, "Just wanted to say, I wish you a goodnight, husband." She said walking up to him, Aemond watched her closely as if at any moment she might pounce, but she just walked past him a headed to her chamber.

She prayed he wouldn't fellow, pray that he was too angry to lay with her, she couldn't handle an angry aemond right now, especially during intercourse. 

"Wait." He commanded, Jaenara stopped just a couple of steps behind him.

She turned to look at her husband to see him clenching the letter in his fist, Aemond was facing her when he began to walk toward her. Jaenara looked away from Aemon when she caught his eye, but Aemond's hand went to her jaw making her look at her.

"Do not think I forgot about you, dove." He said, sending a chill down her spine, "I expect you ready for me once I am finished." Jaenara swallowed as she wondered what he meant.

"I...Aemond, I do not feel very well--" Jaenara gasped when aemond's hand squeezed her jaw painfully, Aemond let out a growl as he stared down at his wife. 

"Do not start, woman. I am in no mood for your perversity, nor am I in the mood for your griping." Jaenara stumbled forward putting her hand on Aemond's wrist, "Now, do as I say, and wait for me in your chamber." He finally let go of her, jaenara's hand went to her jaw looking at her husband as she rubbed her jaw, aemond didn't spare the princess another look as he looked back at the paper in his clenches.

Jaenara was in no mood to deal with him either, she didn't summon him here for his company but to finally put an end to this nightmare.

"Aemond--"

"Are you still here?" He asked harshly looking at her again, Aemond was already dealing with a pressing issue and it seemed this cretinous creature he had the misfortune of marrying was giving him a headache.

"I-I just thought since my condition, we would take a break and talk." Aemond raised a brow at her with an exasperated look, jaenara's teeth gaw at her bottom hoping that he take the bait.

"What condition." He grits out.

Jaenara exhaled softly before taking a step closer to Aemond, the young prince squinted at her before catching her wrist when she moved her hand up to push her hair behind her ear. Jaenara looked at his hand on her wrist before looking back at him, she swallowed the lump in her throat before moving her other hand to gently touch his wrist before rubbing her thumb over his pulse making him look down at the gesture.

"The maester visited. I would have thought he would have spread the news." Aemond looks at Jaenara expectantly with frown brows.

"And what news would that be." Jaenara gave Aemond a small smile, Aemond let go of her wrist as Jaenara pulled at his hand and placed his palm against her stomach, Aemond gulped as he looked down at his hand.

"He confirmed it." Aemond glances up at Jaenara, "I am pregnant with your child, Aemond." Jaenara watched Aemond carefully as he looked back down at his hand against her stomach.

Jaenara's heart pounded against her ribcage nervously as she waited for Aemond to say something, his hand moving along her stomach noticing the small curve.

"How far?" He whispered still looking down in wonder.

"3 moons." Aemond look at her making her give a bashful smile, "I wanted to wait a little long just in case..." She said looking down at her feet.

Jaenara flinched slightly at Aemond hooking his finger under her chin to make her look at him, the young prince surprised himself when he pulled Jaenara forward for a kiss, and Jaenara's eyes widened at the soft lips that were her husband's. She couldn't remember the last time he ever kissed her, that's a lie the last time he kissed her was at their wedding, but the gentle kiss had Jaenara leaning in making aemond wrap his arm around her shoulder pulling her against him. Jaenara couldn't help but melt into the kiss, this was all she ever wanted, her sweet husband, the man who captured her heart and showed her his tenderness and love.

Aemond pulled away making Jaenara stare up at him daze as she clung to him, jaenara fluttered her eyelashes as aemond brushed the tip of his nose against the side of her face.

"You have no idea...how happy you made me," He whispered after pressing a kiss to her hairline.

Jaenara was taken by surprise again when Aemond dropped to his knee to come face to face with her stomach, she couldn't help the smile that came on her face when Aemond gazed at her stomach in awe and cooed as he talked to their babe.

"So...Does this mean I can leave the solar, now?" Jaenara asked meekly, Aemond looked up at her with a look that she couldn't work out.

Jaenara became rigid when Aemond stood from his knee, she shied away when his hand came up to caress her hair.

"Yes, dove." Jaenara exhaled relieved, "You should be out feeling the sun and getting fresh air for the babe," A small smile made its way up to Aemond's lip as she looked down and rubbed her belly, "...I can't wait to tell Mother, she gonna be over the moon." He said slightly giddy.

Jaenara drone, she forgot that they had to tell Alicent, she didn't want anyone to know at the moment. It still felt too early to tell Aemond.

"What's wrong, dove." Jaenara looked at Aemond as he stared at her with a hint of concern, making something deep inside Jaenara flutter.

"I don't want to tell your mother or anyone else for that matter," Jaenara sighs lowly, "I don't want to give anyone hopes up, I was already contemplating on telling you today. I just don't want to be a disappointment again." Aemond frowns feeling a ping of guilt on Jaenara's crestfallen face, he moves his hand to cover Jaenara's hand on her stomach.

"If you wish to wait, we will wait."

"Really?" Jaenara asked surprised, Aemond nodded his head.

"Of course. My mother will understand, but for now, you get some rest and relax." Jaenara smiled gratefully at Aemond.

"Thank you, husband." Jaenara leans up on her tippy toes catching Aemond by surprise as she presses a gentle kiss to his cheek with the scar, when she pulls away she sees how his cheeks grow a light pink.

She bowed her head walking around him, Aemond watched her before looking down at the letter in his balled hand.

"Jaenara." He called looking up at her as she stopped by her door to look at him with a curious look, "Maybe. If you want...I could join you and we can think of names for the babe." Jaenara looked at Aemond with a surprised look before she smiled and nodded.

"That would be most appreciated, husband," Jaenara says trying to refrain from smiling even bigger, Aemond gives a small smile.

"You go ahead. I must take care of something." Jaenara bows her head before continuing inside her room leaving the door open for Aemond.

The young prince played with the balled letter in his hand as he walked over to the fireplace, he looked at the fire that laminated his face, Aemond opened the letter to reread the words his lover sent him.

...I will not return to King's Landing, Aemond, I will not continue to go back and forth from home and there just so you can fuck me and send me away. I deserve better than to be your whore, this a goodbye aemond...

Aemond's heart broke the first time he read it and it hurts still, he wishes she knew how much it pains him that he made her feel like just a whore. But, he had no choice but to have her come back and forth, his mother wouldn't allow her to live in the castle even though she would have been living in his chamber. Too risky, she said. If rumors of Aemond, the good child, being unfaithful to his wife got out, Alicent fears that it would make their house look bad.

Aemond sighs, he tosses the letter into the fire watching it slowly burn. He may never see his lover again, but at least he has Jaenara and the babe. They will distract his broken heart for now, hopefully by the time the babe comes, alys willing fold and come visit him in King's Landing.                            

「                            ⊹₊♚₊⊹                           」

During the past four moons, Aemond and Jaenara have found themselves spending a lot of time together. With the news of Jaenara's pregnancy, their bond grew closer with each passing day. Aemond made a conscious effort to support and protect Jaenara, accompanying her on long walks under the pale moonlight, talking into the late hours of the night, and sharing moments of tenderness and care. Together, they ventured into the realm of parenthood, discussing hopes and fears for the future, and making plans for their growing family.

Despite the challenges and uncertainties, Aemond and Jaenara found solace in each other's presence during this time of change. Their shared experiences have forged a deep, unbreakable connection between them, as they eagerly anticipate the arrival of their child, unified by their love and commitment to each other.

Jaenara thanked the gods for blessing her with her child and making Aemond love her again, it took a while for her to truly let Aemond back in and she was happy she did.

So, when she woke up alone in bed, her heart sank reminding her of the last time she woke up alone, but she shook those thoughts away as she carefully got out of bed, jaenara puffed out as she put her hand on her large belly. She slipped into her flats before waddling to her door, confused and anxious, she walked to her door hoping to seek him out. 

But, rather than seeing Aemond in the great chamber, she sees Enith holding a tray in her hands, "Good Morning, Enith. Have you seen, Aemond?" Jaenara asked standing on the threshold of her door looking at the solar for her husband before looking back at the woman.

Enith's hesitant demeanor made Jaenara furrow her brows as she watched her, a sick feeling in her gut made Jaenara sway as the silence was becoming deafening.

"Enith?" The handmaiden looks from the floor to Jaenara.

"Uh, I haven't seen him this morning, m'lady." She replied, walking up to Jaenara before sliding past her to get inside the room.

Jaenara narrowed her eyes and followed after closing the door behind her, she watched as Enith set the tray on the aemond side.

"Do you have a clue where he is?" She asked again, Enith took a short moment to answer making Jaenara grow suspicious.

"...umm, no...but I could ask around." Enith suggested nervously, jaenara glanced down as Enith played with her skirt before looking back at her.

"Where is my husband, Enith," Jaenara asked crossing her arms over her chest, Enith looked at Jaenara with wide eyes before shrugging her shoulders.

"I-I just told you--"

"What is wrong with you?" Jaenara asked causing Enith to become tongue-tied, "You are acting skittish, are you hiding something from me?" Enith gulped before shaking her head.

"Of course not--"

"Then, where is my husband, you must know something if your acting this way." Enith didn't know what to say, jaenara had become rather observant lately, and the young princess seemed more aware of certain nowadays, "Fine. If you won't tell me then I guess I will have to find out myself." Jaenara turned on her heels making Enith snap back to reality.

"No, wait." Enith nearly screams causing Jaenara to look back at her with a raised brow, Enith sighs sadly before rubbing her hands on her skirt nervously.

"He is in his chamber," Enith said dreary.

Jaenara furrowed her brows at Enith's words, her husband was in his chamber which wasn't surprising nor worrying.

Jaenara scoffed making Enith look at her mistress, "In his chamber? By the gods, Enith. I thought you were going to say something bad, in his chamber." Jaenara shook her head humorous smile as she walked to her side of the bed.

Enith bites her tongue not wanting to finish her sentence, she helps Jaenara onto the bed before taking a seat at the edge. She watched as Jaenara picked berries from the bowl and popped them into her mouth, soon Enith started up a convention trying to distract her mistress from her missing husband.                              

「                            ⊹₊♚₊⊹                           」

After Aemond didn't come back to Jaenara's chamber, she couldn't help but worry about her husband and what he was doing. It was unlike him to be gone for so long without sending word. As the week passed, her concern grew deeper, and she found herself falling into a dark void of fear and uncertainty, unable to shake the feeling of unease that had settled in her chest.

She tried to convince herself that Aemond was simply caught up in some important matter or had lost track of time, but her instincts told her otherwise. She knew her husband well, and something felt off about his absence.

As the days wore on, Jaenara found herself spiraling, her thoughts consumed by anger and despair. She tried going for a walk to clear her mind but was stopped by Ser Ashford and Ser Krey, she was confined in the solar again on aemond's command, jaenara shook her head at the knights.

"For how long?" She questioned them impatiently, they both glanced at each other before looking at her.

"He did not say." Ser Ashford replied, jaenara scowled and crossed her arms.

"I can not stay in this solar, the babe and I need fresh air." She said.

"Open a window." Ser Ashford said tersely with an eye roll, he reached to close the door but Jaenara's hand caught the other handle.

"All I wish is to go for a walk, please, it won't even be for that long." She pleads looking between the men, Ser Krey gives a sympathetic look before looking at Ser Ashford, but the older man ignores the look Krey is giving him.

"No. The prince's orders." He said gruffly making Jaenara pleading eyes turn to glare.

"Well, I am the princess and I wish to go for a fucking walk." She snapped catching both knights off guard, Ser Krey looked between the princess and Ashford as they glared at each other.

Ser Krey stepped between the two and looked at Jaenara with a sincere look.

"I am sorry, princess, but not tonight, maybe tomorrow." Jaenara looked at Krey with a dangerous look making the young knight splutter, "A-And if you wish I can talk to the prince about letting you go for a walk, I am sure if I mention it's for the babe, he would do it, don't you think?" Jaenara thought for a minute, she glanced at Ser Ashford who was still glaring at her, and she sneered looking back at Krey.

"Fine." She said tersely, Krey sighed out of relief before he could say anything else, jaenara slammed the door in their faces.

After that whole ordeal, jaenara's anger turned to despair and desperation, and she missed Aemond lying next to her. She missed his soft kisses, his soothing voice when he read to her, and the babe in high valyrian, even though she was mad at him she still missed his presence around the solar. It seems the only thing that could get her to rest is crying herself to sleep, and she knows, she knows she shouldn't be worrying herself, especially with how close the baby is coming.

Jaenara wiped at her eyes as the door to her room was opened, she looked up to see Enith coming in with an emerald gown.

"What is that?" She sniffs.

"It's your gown to the jubilee," Enith says coming towards the bed and laying the dress out, jaenara frowns glancing at the dress before looking at Enith.

"Jubilee? When is it?" Enith looked at Jaenara with raised bows.

"Tonight," she drawls out, "Did no one tell you?" Jaenara gave her a look.

"And due tell who would have told me this news, Enith. The useless knights or my absent husband." Enith bit her bottom lip as she tried not to smile, she was beginning to like this jaenara, and she gave her mistress an apologetic look before taking a seat next to her, "Do I have to go?" Jaenara asked with a sullen look.

"The queen demands it," Enith says.

Jaenara rolled her eyes before looking down at her belly, she caressed the top feeling a flutter making her smile a bit.

"I can always tell the queen, you not feeling well, my lady." Jaenara drones glancing away from her belly to the emerald gown on the bed.

"No..." She starts, "I'll go but I'm not wearing that gown." She says scootching out of her bed with Enith following suit.

"Okay, what gown did you have in mind." Jaenara looked at the new gowns that aemond brought her, she looked through the various colors and fabrics before stopping at a pretty crimson one that reminded her of a portrait of rhaenys targaryen.

"I think this one will do." Jaenara pulled out the long gown before smiling over at Enith who looked at the gown in awe.

"I think it will do more than just do." Enith giggles taking the gown from Jaenara and heading toward the bed.

As Jaenara took a seat online one of the settees, her hand resting on her belly thinking, she wondered if she saw Aemond.                    

「                            ⊹₊♚₊⊹                           」

Jaenara was proud of herself for choosing the perfect crimson gown to wear to the jubilee, the deep red fabric hugging her baby bump in all the right places. As she entered the great hall, every eye turned to her, admiring her radiant beauty as she made her way to the table where her extended family was seated.

But as she approached, Jaenara's smile faltered. Aemond, her husband, was standing next to a woman with striking black hair, engaged in an animated conversation. Jealousy and suspicion gnawed at Jaenara's heart as she watched the pair, and she felt a surge of discomfort as she realized just how close they were standing to one another.

Trying to shake off her unease, Jaenara joined her family at the table, plastering on a smile and exchanging pleasantries as she tried to ignore the way Aemond and the dark-haired woman kept stealing glances in her direction.

"Jaenara, you look absolutely beautiful," Alicent complimented making Jaenara give her a gracious smile, "But, what happened to the gown I picked out for you?" Alicent asked.

"Oh, you sent me a dress?" Jaenara asked pretending like she didn't know.

"Yes, a gorgeous green gown with jewels around the neckline and wrist, I gave it to your handmaiden." Jaenara made a show of realization before she took a seat beside her younger cousin, Daeron.

"Oh, yes, I saw it pretty dress, but I did not feel like it was for me." She said nonchalantly. 

"Mmmm." Alicent hummed as her sweet smile nearly faltered, she turned away from the girl to take a sip of her wine.

Jaenara glanced away from her step-grandmother to look at Aemond and his guest, they were at the end of the table still talking. She glances away feeling her hands get clammy making her wring out her fingers, she distracts herself with Daeron, who pulls her into a conversation about her dragon, Vermithor.

"...I heard from Mother that you and alys went into Dragonmont to claim your dragons, were you scared?" The young boy asked making Jaenara smirk.

"I was terrified but Alyaena..." Jaenara trail off thinking about her friend, "...well Alyaena wasn't scared, she was brave and she saved my life." Daeron's eyes widen in admiration.

"Wow." He said wonderstruck causing a low giggle to come from Jaenara, "I wish I was as brave as her." Daeron said deflating a little, jaenara put her hand on Daeron's shoulder giving him a sweet smile.

"I'm sure there is a brave bone inside you somewhere, you just have to wait for it to show its face." Daeron smiled back at Jaenara before they were interrupted.

Aemond cleared his throat catching his brother and wife's attention, he glanced at Jaenara who was looking past him at the people dancing on the floor before looking at his younger brother.

"It's getting late, daeron. You should go off to bed." The youngest targaryen frowns at his older brother.

"But, I'm not tired." He whines making Aemond give him a look.

"Mother's orders." He said tersely, jaenara looked at Daeron who pouted, she leaned close to Daeron making the boy look at her.

"If I were you I escape before they start talking politics, I know I would give my left leg just so I don't have to listen to them talk non-stop about boring politics." Jaenara pulled a face making Daeron consider her words, he hated politics they always made him want to go to sleep.

"On second thought, I am feeling a bit tired," Jaenara gives a small smirk as she watch Daeron push back his chair and get up, "Goodnight, Jaenara. Goodnight, Aemond. And good luck." Jaenara covered her mouth with her fingers as she hid her chuckle, Daeron waved back at Jaenara and aemond as he was escorted to his room by a knight.

Jaenara turned her eyes away from the youngest targaryen to her half-eaten plate, a sudden body pressed her side making her glance at Aemond, she looked away trying to find the dark-haired woman he was talking to just hours ago. She turned her eyes to the floor to find her, she watched as the woman was being twirled by a man, jaenara side-eyed aemond to see him watching the dancers as well. She notices how he clenches his jaw before glancing down at his hand on the table that he flexes into a fist before opening his hand, jaenara sighs low putting her hand on her belly.

She looks at the dark-haired woman as she laughs and flips her hair, her heart skips when she makes eye contact with her, jaenara looks away before pushing back her chair. As she stood, Aemond's hand caught her wrist making her look at him.

"Where are you going." He asked, his attention still focused on the floor.

"My chamber." When she pulled her arm, Aemond's gripe tightened a bit before he turned his gaze away from the woman.

"You must stay and keep me company," He said with a glint in his eye, "Leaving now when I just took a seat seems a bit rude, don't you think." Jaenara raises a brow at her husband before glancing around.

"You know what is also rude, husband," Jaenara says looking back to Aemond find him staring at the woman again.

"Mmmm, what." He said remiss, a pit inside Jaenara ignited at his diversion, and she moved her hand over his wrist gently caressing it and making him look at her.

"Having a husband like you that abandons his pregnant wife for days on end, without a word." Jaenara dug her nail into Aemond's wrist over his pulse causing him to hiss before she shove his hand off her.

She absconded away causing Aemond to get up out of his seat with a scowl, he heard someone clear their throat making him turn to see his mother give him a look. Aemond swallowed down his anger and marched after Jaenara, it didn't take long to catch up with her, he grabbed her elbow and pulled her out of sight of the guests.

"Do not touch me." Jaenara chided pulling her arms away from aemond as they stood hidden away behind the pillars.

"How dare you--" Aemond growled.

"How dare I what?" She snapped looking at him with so much anger that could make even the dead shake in their coffins.

Aemond was taken back by his wife's tone for a second before his face twisted into a scowl and put his finger in her face, "Have you lost your mind, talking to me like this--" Jaenara gave an eye roll before turning her back to her husband, Aemond splutter at her action and grab her elbow before she could take another step.

Jaenara turned back slapping Aemond's hand from her arm, the young prince gave her a look that told her he was getting fed up.

"Jaenara." He grits angrily through his teeth, "Whatever is going on with you, you better fix it quickly before you make me do something I might regret." Jaenara scoffs a chuckles out making Aemond tilt his head to the side as he stares at her.

"Oh, I'm shaking in my boots." She mocked making Aemond clench his jaw, "I doubt whatever you do to me is not going to be worse than having me locked in a room all by myself worried sick about you."

Aemond stood quiet, he glanced away mildly ashamed. He didn't mean to leave her there all by herself when he got word that Alys returned to King's Landing. He couldn't help himself but go to her.

"Jaenara--" Jaenara put her hand up stopping him.

"I don't care. Whatever you gonna say I don't care." Aemond frowned slightly at the defeat in Jaenara's voice, "Just go back to your lady friend and leave me be." Aemond swallowed as he watched her walk away from him, he looked over at the crowd of dancers and saw Alys happily dancing with another man, oblivious of his absence.

Aemond caught up with Jaenara catching her hand causing her to snatch it away as if it were a hot stone, she looked back at him annoyed as she hid her sadness, why was he still bothering her?

"Aemond, I am not in the mood. Go back to the celebration--" She commanded, the tone hard and tense, making a stir appear in Aemond'a's stomach before he brushed it away.

"Not without you." Jaenara rolled her eyes.

"I told you I'm going my chamber--"

"Then, I will accompany you."

It was Jaenara's turn to clench her jaw, she didn't want him near her, why was that so hard for him to understand?

"As sweet as that is, aemond. I would rather return to my chamber alone." Jaenara glared at Aemond as he caught her hand again, he tightened his grip when she tried to pull away.

"For god's sake, jaenara. Stop acting like a  brat." The words rang in her head like a bell, echoing in her mind, causing her to glare at Aemond once again.

"The only brat I see is you, my prince." She spat, "Why don't you go back to your whore, I'm sure she's missing you by now." Aemond's hold loosened making Jaenara pull her hand away.

His hand twitched by his side as a thought passed through his mind, Aemond swallowed down his indignant choosing to ignore what Jaenara said about his lover, and instead took a step forward making Jaenara take a step back, Aemond sighed and looked away before looking back at her with the sincerest look he could muster.

"Jaenara...she is no one." He says, making Jaenara roll her eyes before casting her eyes sadly away.

"I'm not blind. I see the way you look at her." She said quietly, "It's nowhere near the way you look at me, she must be someone really special." She looks back at him to see Aemond with a small frown.

"...she is--was...but she means nothing to me now."

Jaenara dipped her chin, she couldn't believe it or maybe she did, it would explain why he changed so quickly and where he had been in the last couple of weeks. Jaenara's heart grew heavy, she wondered how long it had been going on, was that woman the only one or did Aemond have more paramours around? Was it her name that he called that night during their rendezvous?

"Go to her." She whispered making Aemond furrow his brows.

"What?"

Jaenara looked back at him with tears in her eyes, a flicker of pain stabbed him in his heart at her distraught features.

"You love her, so go to her. I won't stop you." Aemond glanced away from her, jaenara took a step closer making him look back at her as she stared up at him with pleading eyes, "Just do one thing for me, please..." She asked making Aemond's frown deepen, "...let me go," Aemond looked at her dumbfounded, before staring at her with an uneasy look.

"Jaenara--"

"Don't please." She stopped him making him purse his lips, "I know what happens to a woman who is put into a loveless marriage, they become depressed, sad, angry, bitter, resentful individuals." Jaenara sighs shaking her head, "My mother..." Jaenara stopped herself as she trailed off, aemond looked at her worried before she continued, "My mother was a bitter woman, she resented my aunt and uncle's love for each other, and that made it hard to live with her." She looks at Aemond with sadness.

"I...I don't want to end up like my mother, I do not wish to turn my hatred onto our child because you couldn't love me back." Jaenara swallowed and reached to grab aemond's hand with both of her hands and placed them over her heart, Aemond looked at his hands and hers before looking at Jaenara," So I ask, no, beg you husband to spare me, spare me the heartache and misery, and if can not do it for me then our child." She gently begged.

Aemond was speechless. He couldn't form the right words to say to her, he loved Alys, she was his whole world but she left him and he tried to move on and when she came back it was like he was under a spell and he needed to see her. Aemond could understand what Jaenara was saying, after all his father did the same to his mother in a way, and his mother put so much pressure on him and his siblings.

Just look at Aegon, the man was a waste of space and didn't deserve to be considered to be next line for the throne. Then, there's Helaena, his sweet Helena, she had no choice but to marry their idiot of a brother just to make aegon seem more appealing to people. And finally, there was him, the good brother, the scholar, the one who lost an eye and became a hideous monster no one can love, until Alys anyway.

But, he couldn't go against his mother, out of everybody in the castle, he was the only one that she could depend the most on. He had to think about his family's reputation and his own, if he wanted to keep the peace between their families.

Aemond bowed his head so he leaned his forehead against Jaenara's, he let out a soft sigh as he brought his other hand up to cup her jaw. Jaenara closed her eyes, can't help but lean into aemond's touch, why was it so easy to melt into him?

Aemond brought his lips to her temple before whispering in her ear.

"My loyalty lies with you, not her not anymore--" Jaenara tried to pull back but Aemond brought her hands against his chest and his other hand mother to the side of her neck.

"Aemond--" She whined looking away as she tried to pull away not wanting to hear his lies.

"Please, dove." He begs to make me look back at him, he looks so genuine, "Please, let me escort you back to our chamber, let me be with you and our child." Jaenara stared at him thinking what she should do.

She didn't trust aemond to not break her again, she wanted so badly to believe him. But, he was with her. All this time while she was alone and worried, he was with her, doing things only they should be doing. While that woman gets the sweet and soft aemond, jaenara must endure the cold and mean him. How is that fair? How can he make love to his paramour, but fucks her like some whore he found in a brothel. None of this is fair. She doesn't deserve to be put through this--

"I love you, dove." Jaenara flutters her lashes as she snaps out of her daze to look at Aemond, "I am so sorry for being a fool and allowing myself to lose sight of you and our family, I will forever live in shame that I hurt you and brought you pain." Aemond's hand landed on her belly making her stomach churn as he rubbed it gently, "I don't deserve your forgiveness, but please let me earn it back, let me be the man that you deserve...that our child deserves." Jaenara couldn't help the tears that blurry her vision, she put her hands on her face trying not to sob, she didn't know why she was crying his words did little to assure her.

"Come now, let me take you to bed." Jaenara couldn't form words so she nodded, making aemond wrap his arm around her shoulder and guide her toward the exit.

As he was about to leave he looked over his shoulder to see Alys looking at him with a small frown as she stood in the middle of the floor while everyone else continued to dance, Aemond swallowed and turned his head away, guiding Jaenara out of the great hall with a clenched heart.

Keep Me Near Your Heart III

It was close to supper when I arrived back at the castle, I hurried along down the path toward my and aemond shared apartment. Now that my family was gone the castle felt suddenly eerie, I hoped that Aemond was wherever I last saw him I didn't feel like being alone right now.

Ser Krey rushed past me making me stop as he opened the door for me, I let out a soft 'thank you' before walking inside. When I stepped in I was surprised to see Aemond staring down a female servant who (surprisingly) was looking back at Aemond with a look of defiance, I cleared my throat catching Aemond and the servant's attention.

"My love, you are back...oh forgive me this intruder was just leaving, guards." I heard movements behind me making me raise my hand to stop them.

"Who is this?" I questioned looking at her curiously.

"No one‐‐" Aemond begins, but the servant takes a step forward and away from aemond to look at me.

"I am Enith, my princess. Your new handmaiden." The honey-toned woman with light brown, shaggy hair braided to reveal a lean, beautiful face and glinting amber eyes, set far within their sockets looking at me with interest before casting her eyes away as she bowed her head.

"Handmaiden?" I mumble to myself.

"This misplaced peasant is not your handmaiden," I look back to Aemond to see him glaring down at the young woman as he walks by to stand in front of me, "Your handmaidens are yet to be selected by Mother," I hummed  in response with a slow head nod as my eyes start drifting back to Enith, "I'll see to it that this maid gets punished for her lies and disobedience." I look back at Aemond quickly at his words before shaking my head.

"There's no need for that, husband. I know she is telling the truth." Aemond looks back at me with an unreadable look as his brows twitch making me continue, "My mother's last gift before departing, I presume." I lied moving from in front of my husband to Enith, who was now watching me, I took off the cloak I had around me and folded it one way before handing it to Enith, "I would like this put away, please, and I think I would like some biscuits before supper." I say slowly as I look at her, Enith looks at the cloak before back at me, she nods and takes the cloak from my hands.

"Will do, Your Highness." I gave her a stiff nod, and she stepped back before bending her knees down a bit to curtsy before turning away to walk to aemond and I's bedroom.

I turned back around to look at Aemond, he didn't look happy, I walked up to him and grabbed his hand.

"Are you well, husband?" I asked warily as his eye was trained on the half-open door of their room, "Aemond?" I called squeezing his hand until he turned his attention back to me, "Are you alright, my love?" Aemond blinked at me before he nodded.

"Yes, just..." he pauses before looking over at the knights, "...leave us I must speak to my wife alone," he said sternly making me look over to see Ser Krey and Ser Ashford nod their heads before shuffling out with Ser Krey closing the doors behind him, just as Aemond turn to me the door to our bedroom made a sound causing him to look over before I did the same to see Enith.

"Your cloak is put away as you ask, ma'am." I smile in appreciation, "I'll...go receive your biscuits." Enith says as she bowed her head and walked across the floor towards the door pulling it open and shut once she left.

I look back at Aemond to see him staring at the door where Enith left, I couldn't help but wonder why he seemed distracted, aemond usually isn't the type to allow his mind to wander off.

"Aemond," I said his name to get his attention, unlike the last time he looked at me the first time I called his name.

"Apologies, my dear." He brought our linked hands up and kissed my knuckles before looking at me,  "I am only taken aback that your mother has chosen that servant to be your handmaiden." I furrowed my brows confused.

"Why? Is Enith...not a good servant?" I ask him making him shake his head slowly.

"No...I had just never seen her around the castle before...until our wedding," He says as his other hand plays with my hair, "Talking to rhaelle throughout the night and not your mother, odd don't you think." He gave me a look as he looked me in the eyes, I didn't know what to say, I was speechless but even more worried that he knew that, so I shrugged my shoulders.

"You know my aunt rhaelle, she is a friendly person. You remember what she did for that farmer and his family once." I said with a nervous giggle making Aemond hum in response with a blank look. 

"...yes, I guess...your right." I relaxed a bit as Aemond pulled his hand from my hair and moved to rest it on the side of my head, "But, you must remember to teach her her place, I should cut off her tongue how she spoke to me." A sick feeling made its way into my gut making me nod my head.

"I'm sure she did not mean no disrespect, husband. But, if I must I will talk to her, my love," I promised, I took a step closer making Aemond put his arm around my shoulder and pull me close, I could feel his hot breath on my scalp.

"Thank you, sweet dove." He planted a gentle kiss on my hairline before pulling back to look at me, "And next time you speak to me out of turn, let's make sure there's no one in the room, or better yet why don't you never speak to me like that again." I gulp at the change in mood, I didn't mean to disrespect him, especially not in front of Ser Krey and Ser Ashford, I felt his hand slide from my hand to my arm, "Do I make myself clear, Jaenara?" I glance away down to my covered feet before grimacing when Aemond's hand squeezes causing a sharp pain to shoot through my arm.

"I-I understand, aemond," I whispered glancing back to look at him, he narrowed his eye at me making me touch his wrist, "A-And I'm sorry...It wasn't my intention to disrespect you, husband. Please, forgive me, please say you are not mad at me." I pleaded meekly as I stared up at him with pleading eyes, Aemond only grunted as he stared down at me, he eased his grip on my arm making me sigh low.

Suddenly, both of his arms were around me catching me off guard, I could feel his nose brushing against my scalp. As I stood against him with my face in his chest, and my arms by my side.

"I can never be mad at you, dove." Aemond's soothing and sweet voice that I come to recognize and love made me close my eyes and exhale softly feeling his lips on my forehead, "Never." He pulls me along making me open my eyes as Aemond guides me to our room, "I don't think I can ever be mad at you, my beautiful wife..." I looked at Aemond to see him smiling a bit as he stared down at me, I couldn't help but smile back at him bashfully, his words always made me blush.

"You are too kind, husband." He only hummed as he opened the door for me letting me pass through before him.

"What sort of husband would I be if I wasn't kind to my lovely wife..." He said from behind me, before I could turn to him his hands were on my waist pulling me back against his front, and his lips were near my ear, "...if I wasn't kind to the mother of my future son." He whispered making me feel faint all of a sudden at the mention of a child, I gasped out of surprise as aemond tugged on the strings of my gown.  

"No." I nearly shouted, pulling away when I felt his thumb touch the inside of my corset.

I turned to stare at him uncomfortable as he stared back at me no longer with a sweet look but back to his callous expression, I looked away from his glare to the door behind him, hoping and waiting for Enith to come through with supper and my biscuits.

"Jaenara," Aemond called my name firmly, I made myself look over at Aemond and regretted it as soon as I saw his clenched jaw and intimidating stare, "I thought we...discuss this already." He said sternly making me look at him sheepishly.

"I--I know--"

"How am I to prove..." He cleared his throat, "...to my mother, that I made the right decision..if you keep denying me." He hissed, I looked at him shocked not understanding what he meant.

"Wha‐‐"

"It doesn't matter." He snaps making me push my lips together into a small frown, Aemond sighs rolling his neck before looking at me, "You know my mother adores you..." I grimace a bit at the thought of my husband's mother, "...but she fears that you may be barren like your grandmother, and feels that I should...think about taking another to bed to produce heirs..." He said looking somewhere else before looking at me, I gaped at him in surprise at his words, or should say his mother.

I may not know much about a lot of things, but I do know that Alicent had no right to say that to her son about me. Aemond and I haven't been married for that long, and she telling him to take another so soon. We haven't laid together since our wedding night, and Aemond already told me about how important it is that we have children soon, a son more than anything, but as lovely as that night was it was still painful and scary. I wish he could understand that.

"...And I think she's right." He says making me look at him shocked.

"But, I am your wife." He nods his head with an air of nonchalance.

"Yes, I know." I look at him waiting for him to say something else.

"And?" Aemond raised his brow.

"And what?" I couldn't believe it I was beyond shock.

"And what?" I said back to him offended, "Tell me you won't do it." Aemond gave me a look.

"You know I can't, my mother has made it very clear about what she expects from you. She has hounded me about it since I told her we laid together." I shook my head looking away from him before moving my hand to cup my cheek, what exactly did she expect from me? To turn a blind eye? How could I do that?

I have seen how my mother roamed around the garden sadly like a ghost, I saw the envious looks that my mother shot my aunt every time rhaelle made Daemon smile. I remember the harsh words spoken under her breath whenever she saw rhaelle out with one of her children, nothing but bitterness from my mother, sometimes I wondered why she married Daemon in the first place. I didn't want to live like her only feeling anger and bitterness over someone who wasn't yours in the first place and taking it out on me because she couldn't on her sweet boys, I promised myself when I was younger that I would never gonna be like my mother and treat my daughter like how she treated me.

But, after what Aunt Rhaelle and Uncle Daemon said, I think I need to rethink some things.

"Aemond, I'm not sure if I can," I said sadly, Aemond's hands went to my shoulders gently squeezing them making me look back at him.

"I know, my love. But, you do not need to fret so much. It is only a last resort if you can not give me a son," I frown feeling unsure as aemond moves a strand of my hair behind my ear before kissing my cheek and slowly trailing up to my ear,  "As long as you give me a child, I will never take another woman to our bed." He pulled back to look at me.

"You promise?" I ask.

The small curve of Aemond's lips made me lean into him as he moved one of his hands to grab my hand and the other to rest on the side of my neck.

"You are the only woman for me, dove." Aemond declared.

I smiled at him, it wasn't wide and big like the one I'm so used to wearing around him, it was small and wry with a new feeling that I couldn't make out. I love Aemond. But, I also felt something else for him, I couldn't tell if it was fear or worry but I ignored it, I shouldn't fear aemond he is my husband. I think watching my family leave might have put me in a dreary mood, and now my feelings about what happening now are overlapping.

"Okay, Aemond. I believe you." I cringe softly as the last part slips right out, but luckily aemond doesn't seem to care that I said it as he pulls me toward our bed.

"I'm happy that you do." He finally says helping me up on the large bed.

I laid down looking up at the ceiling of the bed, before looking towards the door, deep down I prayed that Enith would come soon. I took my eyes away from the door as the bed dipped with aemond's weight, I swallowed down my fears and allowed my husband to do what he wished.

   

「                            ⊹₊♚₊⊹                           」

The moon began to peek through the delicate curtains, casting a pale glow upon the room. I slowly opened my eyes, hoping to see the familiar face of my husband, but to my surprise, the bed was empty. Confusion instantly flooded my thoughts as I sat up, rubbing my eyes to make sure I wasn't still dreaming.

The room, once filled with unsavory sounds, now seemed eerily silent and lonesome. I turned to my side, half-expecting to find a note. Yet, there was nothing besides the indentation on the pillow, a reminder of the person who once slept beside me. But, knowing aemond he was probably in the great chamber reading a book near the fireplace like he usually does when he can't sleep.

Unable to go back to sleep myself, I swung my legs over the edge of the bed and let my bare feet touch the cold floor. The feeling sent a shiver down my spine, amplifying my unease. With each step I took, my feet padded against the stone floor, resonating through the quiet room as if notifying it of my presence. I know I wouldn't be able to go back to sleep without aemond, and if I couldn't find him a wall around the garden would help.

Driven by a touch of anxiety, I grabbed the skirt of my nightgown as I made my way out of the bedroom and ventured into the dimly lit great chamber. Aemond wasn't there either. I turn away from the empty couch and dead fireplace to walk toward the door that leads to the hallway, I grab the handle expecting it to open only for it to stay still. I pulled at the handles again but again it wouldn't budge, I bent over looking at the keyhole before sitting up straight again.

I looked at the door again and couldn't help but wonder, why aemond was gone and I was locked in the solar, I grabbed the handles again and started yanking it causing the door to rattle on its hinges. After a well, I stop trying to get the door opened and smack the palms of my hands on the door in frustration, I turn on my heels getting an idea, I look back at the door, and before I can go any further with my plan the door opened revealing Ser Cole in his armor.

"M'lady." He nods his head to me in greeting making me blink at him in surprise.

"Ser Cole," I said low perplexed, what was he doing here, I took slow steps when walking up to him, "...the door was locked." I look at the door before looking back at him.

"Yes for your protection, m'lady. Just until the prince returns." He states making me frown.

"How long will that be? I was hoping to take a quick stride in the garden." Ser Cole tilted his head to the side making me furrow my brows.

"It's a bit late for that, m'lady."

"I know...I just woke up and walking around helps me go back to sleep." Ser Cole hums in response before glancing down at your feet.

"With no shoes?" He asked looking back at me, I moved my hair over my shoulders and crossed my arms.

"I was too distracted by the door being locked to put some on," Ser Cole smirked before taking a step toward me.

"If you wish to go for a walk I will be happy to accompany you, princess." He says taking a step closer but this time I stay still as he towers over me, I couldn't tell if was from still being in shock from seeing him or fear that made me stay silent and still like a statue, "Or maybe tea, would be better suited for you, princess. Your mother was the same way when she was your age, always so...lively in the night." He finished.

I was gaping at him speechless, I didn't know what to say to that remark about my mother, I looked up at him realizing how tall and large he was in his armor it made me feel scared of him even though I knew he wouldn't hurt me. A loyal knight to house targaryen wouldn't hurt a princess, right?....No, you will have to be mad to harm the daughter of the future queen of the seven kingdoms.

However, something deep down tells me that I shouldn't go anywhere with him or drink anything he gives me, a little voice in the back of my head repeatedly saying 'Don't trust him'.

"I-I-I think...I'll wait for Aemond to get back," I said taking a cautious step back putting some space between me and the knight.

"That might take a while, princess." He says taking an intimidating step forward, I take another step back as my eyes flicker over to the still-opened door.

"I can wait," I said quickly looking back at him, Ser Cole tilted his head to the side again before a smile crept up onto his lips.

"Then, I will wait with you..." Ser Cole says putting his hand on my shoulder making my heart drop to my stomach, my eyes flicker at his hand before looking back at him when he spoke again, "....to keep you company while we wait for the prince, I can only imagine how scared you were...to wake up here in the dark all alone in bed," His hand move from my shoulder to grasp my chin making my head tilt up at him so I could be staring directly at his face, "Allow me to protect you, princess." He whispered as he leaned close to my face.

I turned my head away from his advances and took a step back only for him to grab my forearm to keep me in place, as he tried to kiss me I snapped my teeth at his hand still on my chin making him snatch it away.

"Now, now, princess. No biting--" He said before grunting in pain when my hand flew up and collided with his cheek.

Ser Cole growled as he twisted my wrist causing me to cry out before grabbing my other wrist, the pain throbbing in my wrist didn't deter me as I still fought to get to let go of me.

"Let go of me, please just let me go." I pleaded as I pulled against him trying to release myself from him.

I grunt and huff as I dodge the knight's lips and try to shake him off, soon a new fear sets in as he drags me across the room over to the dark brown leather settee sofa, I don't know what else to do my hands were bound by him leaving me with the only I had left. I just hoped that it would work.

The scream was loud and piercing so much so that Ser Cole let go of me after a minute of screaming, I fell to the ground but quickly stumbled to my feet grabbed the nearest item next to me, and pointed it at Ser Cole as he watched me with a devious smile and smudge of blood in the corner of his lips.

"And what are you gonna do with that, little girl." Ser Cole mocks as takes a step towards me making me take a step back as I shakily hold the statue.

"D-Don't. Don't come any closer.."  I said afraid and the growing fear that no one was coming to my aid caused my heart to palpable, I don't think I could hold him off for long for help to come and I hoped the second thought I was thinking didn't have to be made, I don't think I can take another life.

As Ser Cole took a sinister step towards me again, the sound of footsteps nearing made me glance between the door and Ser Cole worriedly. I prayed that it was aemond, but to my utter disappointment it was not but rather Ser Krey and Ser Ashford. I don't know if I should feel relieved or even more worried.

Both knights stood in front of the open door looking at us, Ser Ashford looked at me before looking at Ser Cole before looking at the young knight next to him, Ser Krey had his hand on the handle of his sword glaring at Ser Cole.

"Ser Krey, why don't you escort the princess to her chamber," Ser Krey and I looked at Ser Ashford.

"What about Ser Cole, sir?" Ser Ashford squints over at the queen's shield and stands silent for a moment.

Ser Ashford opened his mouth to speak but before any words could get out, my handmaiden, Enith, rushed to the door making me drop the statue at the mere sight of her.

"Enith," I called for her.

The young woman looked over at me with worry, I moved toward her as she hurried toward me making us meet in the middle.

"Princess, I heard your screams and came as quick as I could, are you alright?" I nodded as I gulped down the lump of fear and anxiety I had been trying to hide.

"I'm fine," I said out of breath as I clang to her, Enith looked over me checking for blood or wounds.

"What happened?" She asked once she was finished examining me. 

"I--I was--" Before I could tell her what occurred, Ser Ashford spoke over me.

"The princess was just frightened by Ser Cole..." Ser Ashford said making me and the others look at him, I stared at him mortified by his lie and what just occurred.

"Is that what happened, princess," Enith asked looking back at me, I couldn't look at her as my eyes were boring into Ser Ashford.

The older knight gave me a look as he tilted his head high as if threatening me to say otherwise, I looked away from Ser Ashford to Ser Cole to see him looking at me with a grin. I cast my eyes away from him quickly to Ser Krey as the young knight looked saddened at me before turning his back.

"Princess," Enith called, shaking me from my thoughts, "Is that what happened?" She asked making me bow my head in defeat before lifting it a bit to look at Enith from the side of me.

"Yes...Yes, that is what happened." I lied, "Can you escort me to my chamber, please." I asked her quietly.

"Of course, your highness."

Enith's hand took mine making me peek at her, she looked back at me and gave me a small kind smile before urging me to follow after her.

"Do not worry about the mess, princess." Enith and I stopped to look over at Ser Cole who was walking over to the statue I was using as a weapon, "We clean up your mess for you, I mean that is why we here, m'lady." He taunted with a smile, I could see a bit of blood on his teeth.

"Come along, m'lady," Enith whispered next to me, "Let's get you to bed." I looked away from Ser Cole and continued towards my room.

"Sleep tight, princess." Ser Cole called after crackling, the door shut behind me blocking out his taunting laughs.

I sniff and wrap my arms around me as I walk toward aemond's side of the bed,  Enith helps me in the bed before tucking me in. When she asked if I needed anything else before she left I shook my head, as I lay on my back with my arms on top of the covers. Enith gave a small smile before bowing her head and turning to leave, I watched her silently slowly walk from the bed and tidy little things around the room. Move a vase there. Fold the blanket on the settee. Brush off whatever is on the seat of the armchair. The more she lingered around the room the more I felt safer with her there, if I was being honest I didn't want to be alone especially now that I knew the knights aemond had put to "protect" me were only loyal to Ser Cole.

I realize now what my aunt was saying, and I doubt aemond would listen to anything I have to say if it involved Ser Cole. But, then again I can always try to talk to aemond about it, I am his wife after all.

The Final Chapter

"What in the seven hells are you talking about you didn't tell him." Daemon hiss at his brother, rhaelle stood next to her husband with her hand on his middle back.

They were in the throne room with  viserys sitting on the iron throne and otto at the bottom with his usual conniving look, the wedding was three days away and viserys was now telling them that he didn't talk to aemond about the consummation.

"Dear brother, aemond is at that age–" Viserys says a bit weak.

"I don't want to hear it. She is thirteen and he is fifteen, they should be waiting until they are older more so her than him."

"I do not see the problem, rhaelle was much younger than princess jaenara when we were married and had our children. Yet, here she is thriving with you." Otto said.

Daemon flicker his eyes over at otto before looking back at his brother, he refrain from interacting with the hand for the sake of his wife.

"My king, you understand that even at my age back then it was a miracle that I survive childbirth, I fear jaenara isn't as vigorous as me or her mother. She is a delicate child." Rhaelle says distress making viserys furrow his brows a bit.

"As sadden I am to hear that, rhaelle. I can not control what aemond do on his wedding night with jaenara," he said with no hint of remorse, "It is how it always been, jaenara is no different than the many young ladies who had to go through it at her age." Rhaelle scoff in disbelief at viserys's words.

"You are his father. How can you be so heartless to allow this to happen to your own granddaughter." Daemon seethe making viserys weakly turn his head to his brother.

"The king you know is very sick and does not have the energy to speak to his son about insignificant –" rhaelle look at otto with a angry look.

"Insignificant? This is life or death," rhaelle look at viserys again, "If jaenara gets pregnant she could die, viserys."

The king sigh moving his hand to his face, he use his fingers to massage his temple.

"That is the gamble...she must pay for being born a woman, I do not have the power to stop the stranger for taking her."

Rhaelle look disgusted at viserys, she couldn't believe that he did not care that his own flesh and blood could die, she look away from to daemon as he step forward.

"Are you that weak that you can only have enough in your heart for four people," viserys stare down at his brother with a frown, "What kind of man...can't even talk to his own son for the sake of his granddaughter." Daemon glares at his brother as the king sat silently on his throne.

"How is your own son doing, prince daemon." Both rhaelle and daemon turn their heads at the mention of their child,"I heard from a little wyrm that he was off somewhere with a lover."

Rhaelle look at daemon as he gives otto a death stare, aemon was a sensitive topic for them nowadays, a long time ago when aemon thirteenth nameday came around. The family traveled to King's Landing to have a week long celebration for aemon, one night during their fifth day staying there, aemon sneaked out with aegon and went to brothel.

Where aemon lose his virginity to mysaria and some older whore, it took them until Maekar nameday for aemon to tell them and around that time. The older whore came to court claiming she was carrying their son's child, so rhaelle made daemon go to fleabottom and deal with them. Aemon didn't know about alleged pregnancy. When he heard of the old harlots death he presume the whore died of an accident.

But, a two springs later aemon announce to his parents that he was in love, and ask about the girl he told them it was a commoner he meet when he sneaked out of the castle to go to the village. Rhaelle and Daemon were happy for their son that he found a girl that could make him so happy, so they told him to invite her to a private dinner that consist of his parents and himself.

When the day came to their horror what they thought was a girl close to their sin age was actually a woman, a grown woman who looked to be around daemon's age. Aemon also left out that she was a whore or what he kept telling them:

"She isn't a whore she just works in a brothel."

A long story short, a messy argument broke out between them which lead to aemon running away with his "belove", and they haven't seen him since that day. A lot of things were said that night and daemon blames himself mostly for it.

"This isn't about aemon, this is about jaenara and aemond." Daemon grits out, otto tilt his head to the side with a small smirk as daemon turn to look at his brother, "If you won't talk to him than I will, brother." Viserys move to open his mouth only for otto to talk over him. 

"Why do you care so much for the princess, she is not your daughter nor your concern. If this was a worrisome issue then princess rhaenyra would have come to her father on her own."

"Jaenara is more than family, she is our stepdaughter and we care for her. In our family, we protect each other. But, you wouldn't know anything about that since our children and your son despise you." Rhaelle condemned making daemon smirk at her before casting his eyes over  to otto to see the disdain look on his face.

"Maybe, so but atleast i knew to keep them in line. Unlike you, who is one child short." He spat looking her up and down with a sneer, rhaelle grab daemon's arm to keep him from stalking over to otto.

"Daemon–"

"Speak of my son again, and I will come over there and blind you with those spikes." He jab his finger at otto angry making viserys slam his cane on the ground.

"Enough...both of you...this.." viserys coughing caught the others attention, otto motion to one of the knight to receive the maester as he climbs the steps to help the king up with another knight.

"The king needs to rest," otto states as he climb down the stairs before letting another knight take the king, "This conversation is over. The king should be focusing on feeling better," Daemon's face twist into a lour as otto talk.

"Fine. Maybe, I'll have a better chance talking to your grandson than his incompetent father." Daemon turns his head looking at viserys being held up by a knight while the other stands near by.

"Just give it up, my prince." Daemon turn his head to look back at otto, "My grandson and your...stepdaughter will consummate their marriage, and soon they will have a child of their own. But, atleast you will be able to meet this grandchild." Daemon and Rhaelle look at bemused at otto.

"What–"

"I forgot how can you know of aemon and lady miranna's soon to be child," he said nonchalantly making rhaelle's face drop as her husband lost all emotion in his features, "From what I heard she could be six or seven moon–" rhaelle gasp as daemon punch otto in the mouth.

"I'm going to fucking kill you." Daemon seethe as he grab otto by the collar.

"...daemon...let him go." Viserys says snapping his cane against the cane trying to go over to his brother but the knight kept him at bay.

Rhaelle grab daemon's arm pulling at him as she tells him to let otto go, but  daemon wouldn't listen pushing her away so she didn't get hurt while he kill her ex husband. Daemon shook otto and spat words of hatred to the other man's face as he back him towards swords.

"Daemon, goddammit let him go." Rhaelle shouted.

Daemon stop and look at his wife for a second before looking back at otto, it took him a moment before pushing him away making the hand stumble back. Otto spit blood on the floor before wiping his wipe with the back of his hand, rhaelle grab daemon's arm pulling him to her she grab his face to get him to look at her.

"Daemon, look at me. He's not worth it. He's nothing." Rhaelle says as her husband stare down otto who look at him with a croak smile.

"You have gotten soft, rogue prince. I expected as much since you allow your wife to do the man's work for some time now, rhaelle always did...like taking control." Otto look at rhaelle with glint.

"Shut up, otto." Rhaelle hiss as she keep daemon from actually killing the other, "Daemon, let's go, come on." Daemon allow his wife to pull him away.

Daemon and rhaelle made it into the hall before stalking over to he staircase.

"Useless. Both of them. You should have let me kill him, why did you stop me." Daemon said heated up.

"The last thing I need is my husband being thrown into the dungeons," she chided.

"How did he know her name," daemon ask looking at rhaelle, his wife shook his head.

"I don't know, but we can't dwell on it now," she said as they got to the second floor, "Now, we must deal with jaenara and aemond." Daemon grunts.

"We can call off the wedding." Daemons suggested.

"That won't work. Aemond will not let jaenara go not without a good enough reason, the boy is infatuated with her you seen how he is when his around her." Daemon growl annoyed, "If we just take jaenara and call off the wedding, a war could start and aemond will come for jaenara." Daemon thought for a second knowing what he was said spoke some truth, he stop rhaelle in the corridor as he face her.

"We can make it look like a accident, like we did with that whore in fleabottom." Daemon says making rhaelle shake her head.

"No killing. As much as the little freak make my skin crawl, he is still our family." Daemon roll his eyes.

"What else can we do." He says disgruntle.

Rhaelle glance around the area in thought.

"You said you still had a few  kingsguards who were still loyal to you, right." Daemon furrow his brows and  nod.

"Yes, why?" He ask.

"The greens has taken over the red keep, no longer do they serve the dragon but the flame. We did not realize it then but we are basically handing her over like a platter to these sharks." Daemon frown a little at the thought, "We will need the man to be her sworn shield, which mean you will have to talk to viserys–"

"His useless–"

"That he is but you need to put that all aside and convince him to put your man as jaenara's sworn shield for her sake." She says making huff through his nose as he look away trying to calm himself down before nodding and look back at her, rhaelle give her husband a grateful look before kissing his cheek, "Thank you, husband. Would you be okay if I leave for a bit, I'll back around the hour of the wolf." Daemon furrow his brows before nodding.

"Of course, but where are you going." He ask.

"Magonsæte. I, too, will get someone who can help." Daemon hmm in response knowing who his wife was thinking about.

"Be safe." He kiss her forehead before  bidding each a farewell, they depart going their separate ways.

                                   —

It was finally the day of the jaenara and aemond's wedding, all the great houses were their to see the union between the princess and the prince.

The wedding was held in the great sept to rhaelle and the other women dismay, rhaelle wanted her neice to have nice valyrian wedding like she did with daemon. But, alicent wouldn't have it and rhaenyra didn't even try to fight for it, but it was nice to see daemon walk with jaenara and give her away to aemond. That's was probably the only thing sweet that came out of it.

Once the wedding was finish, they move to the great hall to celebrate and eat. Rhaelle and Daemon were the first ones to give out a toast to jaenara and aemond, painfully having to say good things about aemond and their marriage.

"....and we want you to know jaenara that you are love and no matter what." Rhaelle had her cup raise along with daemon and the other,"Dragonstone will always be your home and safe haven." Rhaelle smile making jaenara smile back at her aunt.

"Naejot lentor." Daemon toast with his cup raised.

"To family." Rhaelle smile making the crowd cheered before they drain their cups.

After the toast, some members of the family got up to fraternize on the floor, rhaelle was one of three who stayed seated to watch her family have fun. Her glance around seeing her children and husband, daemon was dancing with galea while gaemon dance with his grandmother, baelon and rhaena were dancing as well with baela and jacerys close by, maekar was talking to his cousins along with alyssa and alys.

Everyone was having was a swell time even rhaenyra and alicent were talking to one another with valaena next to them with her two sister in laws, corywn and aeron along with baelor were drinking and laughing with their nephews and sons.

"Rhaelle." Rhaelle move her eyes from her family to the man standing next to her, "May I sit." He ask making her look at him for a moment before looking away and shrug her shoulder, corlys pull out the chair and sat next to her,  it was quiet between them for a second before corlys spoke.

"You look well." corlys says looking at her, rhaelle hum in response, "Your speech was beautiful." Rhaelle side eye corlys before looking away.

"...thanks.." she said montone making Corlys frown a bit before sighing and  looking over to the floor where his grandchildren and great grandchildren were.

"They all look so happy," Corlys comments making turn her head slightly toward corlys, "You did good raising them, you and daemon." Rhaelle look at corlys with a suspicious look.

"Why are you saying these nice things to me." She ask making corlys look at her taken aback before he shrug his shoulders.

"Is it against the law to compliment my daughter–"

"I'm your daughter, now." She ask with a brow raise making corlys sigh.

"You have always been my daughter." Rhaelle let out a scoff with an eyeroll, "...and I'm sorry that I stop treating you like one all years ago." Rhaelle blanch at corlys's words never in lifetime or the nexg expecting him to say that to her, she clear her throat and turn away when she saw the look corlys was giving her.

"Why are you telling me this." She mumble.

Corlys move to touch his daughter hand but the monetary she felt his palm, she snatch her hand off the table so she can fidget with her nails in her lap. Corlys bow his head at the action before speaking.

"I will soon be leaving to the stepstones, and i want you to come with me to take it back from the triarchy." Rhaelle shook her head with a sneer on her lip.

"I see. You need my dragon to reclaim the islands," she snicker moving her hamd to massage her eyes, "You actually had me thinking you care–"

"I do not want your dragon, dear child. I want you to come with me and fight, side by side and reclaim the islands properly and give it to your children." Rhaelle look at corlys, "I have made many mistakes in my life, and I can never say sorry to the ones that were taken for us too soon." Rhaelle cast her eyes aside, "But, I still have you and I owe you so much."

"No, you don't." She said looking at him.

"But, I do. You could have taken my grandchildren away from me, you could have told them of what I did to you. But, you didn't. You even saved my marriage with your mother when laena left home, you didn't have to do that but you did." Corlys clench his jaw as he close his eyes before opening them, "I have demean you, ridiculed you, disown you, and you still allow me to have a speck of happiness." Rhaelle bite the inside of her bottom lip as her chin gently starts to wobble, "I'm so sorry that I put you through all of it, I wish in every part of my being that I could take those early years and replace them with better ones." Rhaelle turn her eyes up so her tears wouldn't fall.

"I need some air." Rhaelle voice crack as she push chair back, before she rush away her father grab her forearm.

"Know that I do not deserve anything from you, not your forgiveness or your love, but I need you to know." Rhaelle couldn't look at corlys as he says the three words that she dream to hear from him, "I loving you and you will always be my sweet girl." Rhaelle could only shake her head  before pulling her arm from corlys's grip, corlys watch rhaelle as she  rush off through the crowd.

Rhaelle left the great hall in a haste before going down the hall to find a space to be alone, she found double doors that lead out to the balcony that overlook the city. Rhaelle lean forward using her elbows to rest on the balustrade and cover her face with her hands, she sniff before dragging her hands down her face before moving them to clench her hair.

"Rhae." Rhaelle flinch at the sudden voice of her husband, she wipe her face and turn to daemon's concern face.

"Damnit, daemon, you scared me." Rhaelle says as she wrap her arms around herself, daemon comes closer to stand in front.

"Who made you cry." He ask moving his hands to grasp her jaw tilting her head up for him to see her, "Give me a name and I'll make sure no finds his body." Rhaelle gave a small smile.

"No one made me cry, i'm just..." rhaelle halt before shaking her head, "it doesn't matter, let's just go back to the celebration." She grabs his hand and move to walk pulling him along but he stop her pulling her back.

"Rhaelle." Daemon says looking at her with a look that made her look down.

"Corlys–"

"I'll kill him." It was rhaelle turn to grab daemon's arm and pull him back.

"He wasn't being malice, he..." rhaelle pause making daemon look at her, "...he said he loved me and that he was sorry." Daemon look at his wife surpise.

"So, they were happy tears?" He ask making shake her head.

"No, I mean...I was overwhelm by his words, after all these years. He apologized to me." Daemon furrow his brows as move rhaelle to lean against him.

"Isn't that what you always wanted." Rhaelle look at daemon and shrug.

"Yes, but...when I imagine my father apologizing to me, I always thought that I get some closure from it." Daemon tilt his head slightly to the side.

"But."

"I don't feel it. I don't feel relief or resentment, I just feel like I always felt. Fine. Its not a good feeling or a bad feeling, I guess...I grew too use to it that it just don't effect me like I wanted it to." Rhaelle frown sadly, "And now, he wants me to go with him to the stepstones with him." She sighs, daemon was quiet for a moment before he spoke up.

"You should do it." He said making rhaelle at him.

"I can't–"

"Why not." He ask making rhaelle look at him slightly taken back.

"Because I am mother. I have responsibilities–"

"But, doing this could be good for you, maybe bonding with your father is what you need to get that feeling that you always wanted." Rhaelle was left speechless, she knew daemon was right and the chance to reconnect with her father could be good for her but.

"I can't go, daemon." She said knowing she will have no choice but tell him, rhaelle sighs grabbing her husband's hands and look up at him, "...I'm pregnant." She whisper.

Daemon's eyes shine as he move his hand to rhaelle's stomach, "That is joyous news, my love. How far? How long have you know." He ask looking down at her stomach knowing was covered by the corset.

"Two maybe three moons." Rhaelle says, "I didn't found out until fourteen days ago."

"Why didn't you tell me sooner." Rhaelle gave daemon a look.

"It was never the right time, with alyssa wanting to live in magonsæte to be closer to Aegor and jaenara's marriage along with founding out our baby boy is going to be a father soon. It was too much to bare." Rhaelle said moving to the balustrade to lean against it as she look at the sleeping city, daemon move to stand behind her resting his chin on her shoulder and wrapping his arms around her waist, "All of our children are growing up, soon maekar would want to leave then alys, and I know baelon is going to find his way onto a ship to the stepstones." Rhaelle sigh exasperated.

"All we will have left is rhaena, the twins and daena. And I know once the baby comes, daena will feel left out and the worst part is we may miss the birth of our grandchild." Rhaelle said heartbroken.

"Love of my life, it's a bittersweet moment when our children start growing up, but we did our part, it is time they do there's. You know whatever happens they will always come back to us," Daemon says," and you should know you have nothing to worry about with baelon, alys, and daena. Baelon will never leave rhaena, alys can never stay away from you for too long, and daena has joffrey to occupy her. You still have time with your babies and as for aemon, i vow to found him and bring and his...belove home in time for the birth of our grandchild." Rhaella lean away from daemon and turning his arms, she wrap her arms around his shoulder give a half smile.

"Thank you, daemon. In our fifteen years of marriage, I always that I would be giving you this speech," daemon grins down at her, "Who would have thought the rogue prince and the serpent queen would be here now together no less, back then no one could have predicted this union." She lays her head on daemon's chest hearing his rhythmic heartbeat, daemon move his arms from her waist making rhaelle's arm drop to his waist so his arm can be around her shoulder.

"Can I tell you a secret." Rhaelle look at her husband intrigued, daemon lick his lips and chuckle, "When I saw you in the tent back in dwarfstone, I had a dream that night..." he smile thinking back on it as if he had it just yesterday, "You were there...on a beach standing in the water with two young boys and a little girl, you all were laughing. Your stomach was round no more than 6 moons and in my lap was a little babe," Daemon swallow hard feeling emotional as he look down, "I didn't see a dragon in my dreams, but yet it all felt so real and so true," Daemon look back at his wife who eyes were drowning in tears, "And ever since then I couldn't take you out of my head, you consume my thoughts night and day, and I knew if I died out there. Your face was going to be the last thing I saw." Rhaelle let a teary smile slip into her features, daemon close his eyes as he lean his forehead against his wife before whispering, "The gods has been good to me for so many years, they gave me you and you gave me our beautiful children, I thank them everyday for the life I never imagine I could have with anyone else." Rhaelle bump her nose against daemon's nose as her hands squeezing his arms.

"Oh, you silly fool." She whisper lovingly making daemon open his eyes looking at her, " the gods had nothing to do with it, I was going to love you any way." She confess.

Daemon smile wide and lean to press a sweet kiss to rhaelle's lips.

"I love you, rhae."

"I love you more, daemon."

"Impossible, love."

Keep Me Near Your Heart II

"...have anyone of you seen, jaenara," Alys asks walking into the great hall for breakfast, "she retired to her chamber last night, but when I went in there to get her, she wasn't there." Rhaelle frowns at her daughter's words.

"Who was last to see her," Rhaelle asks as her daughter takes a seat at the table among her siblings and cousins.

"Well, me....and aemond, he escorted her to her chamber last night something about having to consummate in their marital bed." Alys shrugged as a servant filled her plate with food, rhaelle gulped setting down her utensils and glanced at Daemon who was sitting next to her with a similar frown.

"Oh," Rhaelle says moving to look down at her meal.

"What is c...c..consummate, mama, papa?" Gaela asked curious as she sat next to her mother.

Rhaelle grimaced flickering her eyes over at her husband who was stabbing his food, and shoving it in his mouth so he didn't have to answer his daughter's question.

"I'm curious too, aemond says I would have to wait until marriage to know." Rhaelle hummed as she tapped her finger on the table.

"This conversation is not suited for breakfast, let's talk about something else, please," Rhaelle said picking up her fork and knife to cut into her sausage.

Gaela and alys both frowned but let it go, and went make to their breakfast.

"You know, sister." Alys looks across the table at baelon, "If you are curious to know you can always visit the tapestry--" baelon grunts in pain when Daemon smacks him in the back of the head.

"Shut up." Daemon hiss at his son as he glares at baelon from the side of him.

Baelon wore a scowl as he rubbed his head with his hand, rhaelle shook her head as she scooped some scrambled eggs onto her fork. Before she could put her food in her mouth the doors opened to the great hall revealing aemond and Jaenara walking in making her nudge Daemon, the rogue prince looked at his wife before following her gaze to his niece and nephew. Daemon glowers as he leans back in his chair staring at aemond as he walks with Jaenara on his arm with a placid smile.

"Good morrow, family," Jaenara says gently as she tries not to wince as she walks toward the table.

Everyone returned her pleasantries before going back to their breakfast, jaenara moved carefully to take a seat next to alys and aemond took the seat next to her right across from gaela. Rhaelle looks between the two newlyweds with squinted eyes as she reaches for her cup of juice, she looks away to focus on her plate.

"So, jaenara..." Alys whispered turning in her chair and making Jaenara turn her head to look at her friend, "Did you ever find out, what consummate is." She asked, jaenara glanced at aemond who was listening to them with a small smile before she looked back at her cousin.

"I...did," she said slowly feeling her face heat up thinking about last night and what had occurred just moments ago.

"Well?" Alys says slowly as a smirk creeps up into her lips seeing how Jaenara is getting flustered, "I want details." The young targaryen whispered grabbing her friend's hand, Jaenara couldn't hold back her smile as she looked at alys.

Rhaelle looked at her niece and daughter seeing them whisper to one another, and she narrowed her eyes at them.

"What are you two talking about," Rhaelle asks.

"Nothing." Both Jaenara and Alys looked away from each other as they spoke in unison quickly.

Rhaelle looked between the two before letting out a soft hum as she slowly took her cup from the table again, and looked away from them when gaela tugged on her sleeve. Jaenara looked at Alys before leaning in making Alys do the same as Jaenara whispered to her.

"I'll tell you later." Alys nods before pulling back and going back to her breakfast.

Jaenara looked down at her plate of food but before she could grab her utensils aemond grabbed her hand and linked their hands together, Jaenara glanced over at aemond to see him eating in peace making her look away with a smile as she held his hand tight. Daemon watched the exchange with a strained grimace, the looks the two exchanged reminded him too much of him and rhaelle when they used to live in the Red Keep together.

                                    ¿

Rhaelle and Daemon decided to stay a bit longer at the Red Keep to make sure Jaenara settled in her new home, but to their dismay, jaenara had already taken to getting rather comfortable in her new life. To rhaelle's fear jaenara has fallen in love with aemond, all she could talk about was aemond and how amazing he was and caring and loving, to jaenara aemond was the greatest husband she could ever ask for. Which worried rhaelle she never expected her niece to fall so fast and hard for aemond, she thought Jaenara would have been a bit more skeptical about aemond given his history with her younger brother, lucerys.

Rhaelle and Daemon along with their children had one more night before they left in the morning, Rhaelle and Daemon didn't feel right leaving Jaenara without talking to her.

The doors to Rhaelle and Daemon's chamber opened as Jaenara walked in with her hands clasped together in front of her, rhaelle was biting her nail as she sat on the couch in front of the fire with Daemon next to her with a book in his hand while his other holds rhaelle's hand. They turn their heads to see Jaenara standing near the door swaying as she looks at a painting on the wall, the prince and his queen stand from their chairs and face Jaenara fully.

"Jaenara, how are you, darling." Jaenara walks away from the painting to go over to her aunt and uncle.

"I am fine." Jaenara kissed her aunt's cheek before doing the same to her uncle.

"We hope we didn't take you away from anything important," Daemon says as he signals for her to sit on the couch before he goes to grab a chair for rhaelle to take a seat.

"No, I was just with aemond in our chamber." She said with a shy smile as she moved her hair behind her ear, "He was showing me the bookcase in our solar." Rhaelle raised a brow.

"A solar? I am surprised that the king set you and aemond up with your apartment." Jaenara nods.

"I thought so too until aemond said it was his idea, he said sharing a chamber would be too small to raise our family." Rhaelle raises her brow before glancing at Daemon as he looks at Jaenara with a small frown.

"You two are already thinking about children," Daemon asks.

"Of course, it is my duty isn't it to produce heirs for my husband." Daemon nods slowly as he moves to take a seat next to Jaenara on the couch.

"Yes, it is. But, don't you think it is best to wait until your body is...more mature." Jaenara frowns for a second before shaking her head.

"No, aemond said it is best to start as soon as possible, if we wait then it be harder to produce children." Rhaelle and Daemon stare at Jaenara with wide eyes taken aback.

"He said what?" Daemon asks with a snarl, jaenara looks at her uncle confused about why he is mad.

"Daemon," Rhaelle warns softly making the older man look at his wife, rhaelle signals for him to calm down.

Daemon unclenched his jaw before shaking his head and looking away from Jaenara, rhaelle slowly turned her attention from her husband to Jaenara who wore a small frown as she looked back at her aunt.

"Jaenara, darling, don't you think you should think about this first?" Jaenara furrowed her brows and shrugged her shoulders.

"Why would I need to think about it, I want to have aemond's children." Rhaelle refrained from grimacing at her niece, she couldn't believe that this was happening it was like valaena all over again.

"I know, sweet girl, but..." rhaelle sighed looking down before looking at Jaenara again, "...do you remember when you were younger that I told you, you reminded me so much of your late grandmother, Aemma." Daemon looks over at rhaelle before looking at Jaenara, jaenara thinks for a second before nodding her head.

"Yes." Rhaelle gave a small smile before wiping her hands on her skirt.

"And do you remember...how she passed?" Jaenara nods again.

"Mother said it was during childbirth." Rhaelle nods her head.

"Yes, like you, your grandmother was a delicate flower. It was hard for her to get pregnant and when she did...she lost it." Rhaelle said gently jaenara looked down at her lap as she played with the ring aemond gifted her on her finger, "Your grandmother was a bit younger than you when she married and produced heirs for your grandfather, and--where did you get that ring." Jaenara looked up as rhaelle's eyes were trained on the familiar oval emerald ring that resembled the one she flew at Otto when she left King's Landing a disgrace.

Daemon furrows his brows looking at the ring on Jaenara's hand before flicking his eyes to his wife, jaenara at the ring before looking back at her aunt.

"This? It was a gift from aemond--" Jaenara watched with wide confused eyes as rhaelle's chair scrapped against the floor as she stood up.

Rhaelle turned her back to her husband and niece as her hand went to her mouth in distress, could it be? Is it the same ring, of course, it is, she told herself, it was the ring all to the last detail. But, how did aemond get it? Otto wasn't the type to hold on to sentimental things especially if they belonged to her, so how did that boy get it? Unless he didn't get it but maybe someone gave it to him, could Otto have given his grandson the ring to woo Jaenara? What was he planning? Why would give aemond that ring of all things? What does he have planned for her niece?

Rhaelle brought her hand to her chest, the thought of Otto putting Jaenara through what she had made her chest tighten, it was beginning to feel hard to breathe all of a sudden.

"Aunt Rhae." Jaenara got up from the couch with daemon following in toe as they noticed her rhaelle's shivering form.

Jaenara reached to caress her aunt's back but drew back when rhaelle turned to them suddenly with a tortured look.

"We need to leave." Both Jaenara and Daemon stare at her bemused, "We can leave in the dead of night, no one will notice that she's gone until the sun's up and by then we've already been back to dragonstone." Jaenara looked at her uncle who stared at rhaelle warily as rhaelle talked to herself.

"Aunt Rhaelle, what are you talking about," Jaenara says looking back at her aunt, rhaelle looks at her niece before glancing at Daemon, "Aunt rhaelle." Rhaelle back at jaenara.

"We taking you come back to dragonstone." Rhaelle moves around Jaenara causing the young princess to turn in her spot to look after rhaelle stun.

"What?" Jaenara uttered confused as she watched her aunt talk to Daemon, "B-But, I can't go I can't leave aemond, I have duties."

"Many husbands and wives live apart if he wants to visit he is free too if he wants to stay he can, but you are not staying here." Rhaelle turned to look at Jaenara as the young girl gawked at her aunt.

"I can't ask him to do that‐‐"

"Then, don't. Either way, you're leaving this place." Rhaelle says firmly before looking back at her husband.

"Rhaelle, what are you doing?" Daemon whispers as he questions his wife.

"What I think is best for our niece," Daemkn gives his wife a look, "Don't look at me like that, I know what I'm doing."

"Do you." Rhaelle glares at him.

"I'm not leaving." Daemon looks past rhaelle to see Jaenara cross her arms, "You can't make me." Rhaelle rolled her eyes before turning around.

"You are and you will."

"No, I am not, you can't tell me what to do. I'm not a child anymore." Rhaelle scoffs shaking her head.

"Yes, you are‐‐" rhaelle begins.

"No, I'm not." Jaenara snapped back, "I haven't been for a long time, I bleed, I laid with aemond, I am a woman."

"Ha!" Rhaelle threw her head back and let out a sarcastic laugh, "Just because you did those things doesn't make you a woman, it just makes you a girl who happened to experience those things." Jaenara glares at her aunt.

"I'm not going back." Rhaelle squints her eyes at her niece in anger at her niece's attitude, daemon moves his hand to his wife's arm trying to calm her down.

"Why don't we all just calm down, jaenara..." Daemon looks away from his wife to his niece, who looks at him, "Why don't you return to your chamber while me and rhaelle--" rhaelle gives Daemon a look as he tries to send Jaenara away.

"What? No! This conversation isn't over." Daemon looks back at his wife with an exasperated look.

"Yes, it is." He snips before looking at Jaenara, "Please, jaenara go back to your chamber." Jaenara looks between her sympathetic uncle and angry aunt before she nods and turns on her heels, once the doors shut behind her daemon snaps his head back to his wife, "What in the seven hells was that, rhaelle." Daemon swore as Rhaelle walked passed him to sit on the couch.

"I don't know what you mean." She said nonchalantly as she crossed her legs and leaned back into the cushion, daemon took the chair in front of her pulling it forward.

"Don't do that. I thought we agreed we be gentle, what happened?" Rhaelle looked away from her husband with a somber look.

"It's nothing." She mumbled as her finger traced her chin in thought, daemon noticed and reached to grab her hand and gently squeezed before his thumb started caressing the back of her hand.

"I thought we agreed no more lies." Rhaelle looks over at her husband to find him looking at her with worried eyes, rhaelle glances down at their hands before sighing.

"The ring...it's the exact one Otto gave me when we first married, it was the very thing that made me love him and..."  Rhaelle trails off.

"And you remember all the times he hurt you," Rhaelle looks up at Daemon finishing her sentence, she nods with a sad look.

"We know how much the greens wish to see rhaenyra and her sons fall, when I saw that ring all I could think was is he going to use her as he used me? Is he going to put her through the same pain he put me through?" Rhaelle's throat constricts as she swallows down her emotions, she hides her face in her hand before sniffing, "I don't want her to live the life that I was forced to, it's not fair no one deserves that no one." Rhaelle's voice shakes making Daemon lean forward kissing his wife's fingers before leaning back to look at his wife with a gentle smile.

"I know you are worried...I am too, but forcing her and calling her a child isn't going to do any good. Would you have wanted to return to Driftmark if your mother said that to you?" Daemon asked, rhaelle shook her head sadly, "We can not intervene in her life, jaenara needs to make her own choices. We can't hold her hand forever." Rhaelle sighed leaning her head back on the couch, daemon moved to sit next to rhaelle moving to hold her making rhaelle move her head to rest on Daemon's shoulder.

"...I hate this world, why must men be so cruel," Rhaelle whispered as she buried her face in her husband's shoulder, Daemon remained quiet as he patted her hand before kissing her temple.

Daemon had no words to say to ease his wife's worries, all he could do was hold her and pray and hope that Jaenara would be okay at the Red Keep.

                                    ¿

"Princess Rhaelle." The voice of the man sent a shiver down Rhaelle's spine as she  stood in the doorway of the last person she wanted to speak to, "What a pleasant surprise." Otto says after looking up from his book, he closes the book and stands from his seat at his desk, "Please, do come in," he beckons her to come further inside with his hand, rhaelle glances around the room warily before she steps inside.

"Thank you...Lord Otto." Rhaelle says as she stands awkwardly with her hands clasped in front of her.

"Do you wish to sit?" He asks walking from his desk to the leather red couch, rhaelle watches as Otto takes a seat putting his leg over his other.

"No...thank you. I'm not staying long...I just came here to talk...to you." She said glancing around the room as she came close to the couch, Otto tilted his head to the side and looked at rhaelle curious.

"Talk? About your son?" He questions rhaelle squinting at her, but rhaelle doesn't bite and ignores Otto.

"I wish to speak to you about Aemond and Jaenara." Otto hums in response, "I-It has come to my...attention that your grandson gave my niece a ring, a ring very similar to the one you gave me when we were together." Otto furrowed his brows at rhaelle in thought.

"That is impossible there is no way he could have gotten that ring," Otto states.

"Well, I'm either going senile and imagining I saw it on Jaenara's finger, or you lying," Rhaelle argues crossing her arms over her chest, Otto rolls his eyes and grunts as he gets up from the couch.

"On any other occasion, I would, but I have no use in lying about this..." Otto's words slowly trail off as he looks into the drawer of the desk, rhaelle raises her brow as she stares at Otto, "...Mhmmm."

"What?" Rhaelle asked confused, Otto looked back up at her and closed the drawer when she noticed the way his jaw clenched and the glint in his eyes answered her question, "He took the ring, didn't he, Otto." Rhaelle taunted, Otto gave an eye roll again as he moved from the desk back to the couch.

"It seems so." He said tersely, Rhaelle shook her head at the older man, "Don't shake your head at me, come morning I will take back what was taken from me and hide it in a better place next time." Rhaelle in turn rolled her eyes.

"I have a better idea, why don't you just get rid of it." She snide looking at him with an irritated look, Otto only looked at her.

He never thought about getting rid of it before, only because he brought it, and throwing it away seemed so unnecessary.

"Hogwash. That ring is one of the most valuable possessions I own and I'm not getting rid of it, you may not recall but it was I who had to buy that ring for you, and a pretty little cost it was too." He bemoans causing Rhaelle to scoff.

"I never wanted that thing, you only brought it so you could control me..."

Otto purses his lips together to form a line as Rhaelle stares at him vexed as the air turns thick with emotions, she feels herself getting worked up, rhaelle sighs as she lets her head fall forward before shaking it, she didn't come here to fight or bring up the past she came here for Jaenara. Rhaelle leaned her head up and she sighed again, she took in the room again, and as she glanced around she realized it was a stupid idea to come here. In late in the night no less, she should be in bed next to her husband trying to get some rest before the ride back to Dragonstone, she should have listened to Daemon she should have waited in the morning to apologize to Jaenara not here.

"...You know what forget it, I did not know what I was thinking coming here. Forgive me." She gave a quick curtsy before turning towards the door.

"Rhaelle, wait--" His words were cut off by the slam of the door.

                                     ¿

Jaenara smiles as Alys and Alyssa hug her with Rhaena and Gaela, Rhaelle watches from her spot with some of the others standing by writing for their turn. Baela wasn't there since she went back to Driftmark with Rhaenys and Corlys the morning after the wedding, once the girls disbanded and bid Jaenara goodbye, lucerys was quick to engulf his big sister in a hug. Jacerys watches with crossed arms and an impatient look on his face, he stands off to the side with his mother watching Jaenara and lucerys, Jacerys has been distancing himself from his sister for a long time now.

Many of them noticed it but no one said anything about it or questioned Jacerys, so it wasn't a surprise when Jaenara looked over at her older brother and mother with pleading eyes and it wasn't a surprise they turned away when lucerys came to them to head to their dragons. All Jaenara could do was watch with a heavy heart as her mother and brother ignored her, rhaelle watched the scene with irksome feelings and boiling blood at the grown princess and the mini rhaenyra that the princess created out of lies. Rhaelle stepped forward as her husband kissed the top of Jaenara's head before walking out of the way of his wife so she could say her goodbyes, jaenara glanced up at her aunt meekly before looking away, she hadn't talked to seen her aunt majority of the morning leading her to think her aunt was still angry at her.  

Rhaelle smiled awkwardly at Jaenara before subtly wringing out her hands before she spoke.

"Hi," Rhaelle says, Jaenara smiles back timidly before letting out a meek 'hello', she clears her throat nervously before speaking, "...I'm sorry...about the other night." Rhaelle blurted catching Jaenara off guard, "It was mean of me to call you a child and treat you like one..." rhaelle paused for a second, "...I was only scared." Jaenara tilts her head a tad to the right.

"Scared, auntie?" The older woman sighed glancing away from her niece, she looked at her husband talking to baelor and alys before looking back at Jaenara and taking a step closer.

"I...am worried about you..." She started, jaenara frown confused, "...you are here all alone‐‐"

"I'm not alone. I have aemond and helaena." Jaenara said meekly.

"Yes, I know, but I am talking about your safety." Jaenara frowns her brows, "I do not trust some of the people that live within the walls of the Red Keep, they mean to do nothing but cause harm you cannot trust them." A weird feeling settled in Jaenara's gut as she listened to her aunt, rhaelle grab Jaenara's hands and hold them, "I need you to promise me that you be careful who you choose as your friend and as your foe, okay?" Jaenara nodded her head slowly.

"Okay." She uttered overwhelmed, rhaelle flickered her eyes over Jaenara's features before letting a low sigh of contentment slip through before she straightened herself.

"Good...Good, I'm happy that you understand." Jaenara flicked her eyes up at her aunt before rhaelle could say anything Daemon called to rhaelle telling her it was time to go, rhaelle frowned before looking at Jaenara just as the young princess looked back at her aunt, "It looks like it's time to go," Rhaelle gave a sad hand before she looks down at her and jaenara's hands.

"I guess this a goodbye..." Jaenara looked at her aunt with misty eyes, rhaelle gave her young niece a sad smile as she brought her hands to caress her cheeks, "...I hate goodbyes." Rhaelle chuckles before sniffing.

"Me too, sweet girl." Rhaelle gave Jaenara a pursed smile before pulling the young girl in for another hug, "We will miss you dearly." Jaenara closed her eyes and hugged her aunt back.

"Promise, you write." The young princess begs low making rhaelle smile sweetly when she pulls away and looks at Jaenara.

"Of course." Jaenara smiled timidly back before she watched her aunt plant a soft kiss on her temple before backing up.

Jaenara gave a small wave at her family as they mounted their dragons, she stepped back watching them leave Dragonpit. Alys waved back at Jaenara before taking off, Baelon and Maekar followed suit then the rest of her family took off. She watched with her arms around her as they flew away leaving her, now that she was here alone she must think over her aunt's words from before.

...promise me you be careful who you choose as your friend and as your foe...

Rhaelle's warning made her worried, she wondered who her aunt was referring to when she said friend or foe, and how was she supposed to know who to trust?

"M'lady, we must get you back to the castle before supper." Ser Ashford said making Jaenara turn to look at him and Ser Krey standing next to the carriage watching her, Jaenara frowned a bit before glancing back at her family in the distance.

"...okay.." she said meekly turning away and walking towards the knights.

Ser Ashford left to get on his horse while Ser Krey stood by the door opening it when Jaenara neared, she looked to Krey to thank him only for the words to be caught in her throat when she found Ser Krey already looking at her. Krey looked away when Jaenara stared back at him his eyes were trained ahead of him as he held the door open, Jaenara glanced away from him and held her dress as she climbed in the carriage. The door shut behind her the moment she stepped in not too long after that the carriage shook making Jaenara grab hold of the wall to balance herself, she settled down on the bench and looked out watching the scenery pass in thought.

Keep Me in Your Thoughts (60)

"You can't be serious." Rhaelle ask looking away from the window to rhaenyra, "She's still a child."

"She has been bleeding since last summer, rhaelle. Jaenara is no longer a little girl, but a woman and I believe we should take alicent's offer." Rhaelle shook her head at rhaenyra and went back to looking out of the window of the painted table chamber, even though it was far she could see the children flying in the sky, "This union could be good for us, for all we know it could forestall the war or even end it before it starts." Rhaelle sighed moving her fingers to massage her eyes, she knew that rhaenyra was right but it just didn't sit right with her that her fourteen-year-old niece was being married off to aemond targaryen.

"Rhaelle." Rhaenyra call moving to stand beside rhaelle, "You know I care for jaenara...in my own way, but you always told me I need to start thinking what's best for the family and I really think this is." Rhaelle sigh turning to face rhaenyra, she knew she couldn't argue with the young princess about the girl's own daughter and the last thing she want to do is get into a argument with her.

"I know and you are right." Rhaenyra gave rhaelle a grateful smile at her understanding, "But, let's not tell her so soon, i want her to enjoy her little time she has left with family before being leaving to King's landing." Rhaenyra nod.

"Of course, I'll send alicent our answer." Rhaelle hum making rhaenyra grab her hand and squeeze it, "Thank you for understaing, rhaelle. I know this isn't how you want her or any of our children to be married." Rhaelle bow her head as Rhaenyra lean up to kiss rhaelle's cheek.

After years of living in the castle together, rhaenyra's attitude has come less prissy since sharing the bed with rhaelle and daemon, she became more bearable to live with. It seems the young princess only listens when she had a good fuck, so rhaelle doesn't complain about the change in behavior.

If having to ask daemon to go fuck her or having to do it herself, keeps the brat from treating  jaenara and the others badly. She take it.

As rhaenyra was leaving daemon walks in, he nod at rhaenyra who bow her head at him before he walks up to his wife.

"Hello, my love." Rhaelle spoke sweetly as daemon smile at her, he kiss her lips passionately before pulling away.

"Hello, belove. What were you and rhaenyra talking about." He ask grabbing her hand leading her towards the painted table.

"Oh, alicent has arranged a marriage between jaenara and aemond, rhaenyra was asking for my input." Daemon wrinkle is nose in dismay at the mention of arranged marriage.

"And your okay with this?" He ask, rhaelle smile at daemon sadly and nod, daemon furrow his brows.

Over the years, daemon has taken to treating rhaenyra's children as his own especially lucerys and jaenara.

"She is not my daughter, daemon. I have no say in the matter even if i objected to it, it just going to end with rhaenyra getting mad and taking it out on the poor girl." Daemon hmm as he rubs his wife's palm.

"I do not trust them." He says making rhaelle look at him, "Lucerys took her son's eye and attack rhaenyra, now after five summers she wish to marry her son to the boy's sister who took her son's eyes. It feels like a trap." Rhaelle frown slightly.

"Maybe, she doesn't hold ill will anymore, she did tell me once that she always liked jaenara and that the young girl would be good for her son." Rhaelle defends, daemon gave his wife a look.

"Do you truely believe that?" He ask making rhaelle sigh.

"No, but it gives me a small bit of comfort that it could be true. And besides, alicent can't hold ill will to the girl after her son hit her with rock causing her to lose half of her memories."

Jaenara never did remember what fully happened that night back at Driftmark, and rhaelle along with rhaenyra didn't think she needed to know.

"When will she tell her the news." Daemon ask.

"Not today, thank gods. But, soon I believe, once alicent receives her answer she would want them to be married soon as possible." Rhaelle sadly before leaning her head against daemon's shoulder, "I fear for her and what awaits her in king's landing, we all know boys aemond age think about one thing. I doubt he wait until she is older to consummate." She said distress making daemon caress her back.

Rhaelle may have survive giving birth to her triplets when she was just ten and two, but jaenara was different, she reminded rhaelle of aemma. The young girl isn't naive but she did give people the benefit of the doubt a lot, rhaelle worried that alicnet or otto would take advantage of that as soon as possible.

"Maybe, I can talk to viserys about making aemond  wait until jaenara is at the right age to consummate." Rhaelle pull away look up at her husband with a look.

"You do that?" Daemon nod with soft look.

"Of course, she is like a daughter to me, and only the gods know that nobody else will." Rhaelle nod her at his words, "While there I can ask some of the knights who are still loyal to me to keep a close eye on her." Rhaelle smile at her husband.

"Thanks, Dae." Daemon smile down at her before pecking her lips.

                                  —

Alicent walk down the hall of the red keep holding a letter sent from rhaenyra with her father next her, they stop in front of aemond's chamber door, alicent knock waiting a second before hearing her son tell them to come in.

Aemond was sitting on the couch in front of the fireplace with a book in his hand as he read, he put his book down when he heard his door open making him get up and turn to greet his mother.

"Mother." He said as Alicent comes up to him and kiss his cheek.

"My son. I bring...good news, your sister has said yes to your proposal." A small smile creep onto aemond's lips as he look at his mother.

"Such joyous news, mother. There is so much to get done before her arrival." Aemond says pulling away from his mother making furrow her brows confuse.

"Arrival, my son?" Aemond look at his mother.

"Yes, I wish to spend an entire week  with jaenara before our wedding." Alicent was lost for words, she glance at her father who was watching with a look of dismay.

"B-But, my dear, the wedding isn't for another moon." Aemond turn to his mother with a look.

"Why on earth would we wait another moon to be married when we can do it in fourteen days."

Alicent look at her son flabbergasted.

"My love, that's not enough time–"

"Well, make it enough." Aemond snap, "I do not wish to wait any longer to marry my future bride."

Alicent moves to fidget with her nails, she didn't understand how aemond could love jaenara especially after what her bastard brother did to him. But, aemond defended her like he always has since he was a little boy, alicent fears her son has lost sight of the real reason he is marrying jaenara.

"My son, you must remember that jaenara is not our ally." Alicent said making aemond turn away from the ring he brought jaenara long ago to give his mother a dark look.

"She is to be my wife–"

"Yes, but she is still our enemy, you are not marrying her out of love but out of duty, you must remember that." Aemond turn his dark expression to his grandsire before looking back at his mother.

"She is still going to be my wife, which mean she is going to be our ally." Alicent chew her cheek anxious as her look away to look at his grandsire, "And it will be in everyone best interest to remember that."

Aemond stalks pass otto out of his own chamber with alicent watching with worried eyes.

"I thought you talk to him." Otto said standing beside his daughter, alicent side eye her father.

"I did." She said simply.

"But, yet he is still infatuated with the girl, how can we trust that he will choose his brother over his wife's mother." Alicent turn to her father with her head held high.

"He will never betray us, we are his family not her. He will rather die than betray his own mother." Otto squint his eyes at his daughter before stepping forward.

"For your sake, I hope your right." Otto says over his shoulder as he left the room. 

Alicent close her eyes and sigh before opening them, she too hope she was right, the last thing she wish to do is have larys take care of her soon to be daughter.

                                —

Rhaelle and Daemon waited in the great chamber with jaenara, they were waiting on rhaenyra to arrive so they can tell their step daughter of her betray but rhaenyra was running late.

"How long is mother gonna be, auntie. Alys and I were planning to go see grandmother and baela." Jaenara says as he move her head from resting on her fist, daemon and rhaelle glance at each other before they look back at jaenara.

"Give her time, I'm sure she's on her way." Rhaelle said assuring her neice with a force smile, jaenara narrow her eyes at her aunt for a moment sensing her annoyance.

"Do I atleast get to know why I'm here." She ask.

"It is best that your mother tell you." Daemon said making jaenara sigh and lean her head back on the couch.

The trio look over to the door expecting to see rhaenyra, but was only meet with her servant who bow to daemon and rhaelle before handing a note to rhaelle. Rhaelle furrow her brows opening the note and reading it as the servant leave and jaenara and daemon watch her, a irriated look cross rhaelle's feature for a second before showing daemon the note.

"I told you she throw this on to you." He mutters to rhaelle making the woman ball it and toss it in the fire before looking at jaenara who stare at them curious.

"I'm sorry, my dear. You mother had other business to attend to so...I guess we will have to start without her." Rhaelle said nervous, she play with the hem of her sleeve making daemon grab her hand and link them.

"O...kay." Jaenara sit straight as daemon and rhaelle took a seat on the table in front of her.

"Okay," Rhaelle says with high pitch voice making her swallow with a awkward smile.

They sat in silent as rhaelle tries to put in words to tell jaenara of her betroth, jaenara furrow her brows at the thick tense and awkward silence.

"Is something the matter." Jaenara ask making rhaelle look at her neice, "Did someone die." She ask again making both rhaelle and daemon eyes widen at her remark, "oh gods, someone did die... was it grandsire." Daemon snort.

"I wish." He mumble making rhaelle elbow him in the side.

"No, my dear no one died and your grandfather is still alive." She assures.

"...sadly." Rhaelle elbow her husband in the side again but this time a bit harder making him grunt in pain.

"Oh, that's good." Jaenara said a bit relax.

"We ask you here because...yesterday we got word that aemond...wishes to marry you." Rhaelle utter making jaenara sit back against the couch surpise.

"I...I thought...I thought we were suppose to marry when I turn nineteen." Jaenara watch her uncle and aunt look at each other with confusion before rhaelle look at her again.

"How...Who told you thus?" She ask puzzled, jaenara scrunch up her face thinking.

"Umm...Aemond...no...yes, aemond told me the day before I left to dragonstone. He said his mother told him once we were both of age, we will be married." Rhaelle nod her head as she put daemon and her link hands in her lap, "Why did she change her mind?" Jaenara ask, rhaelle away from daemon to her neice.

"We don't know, sweetling. She didn't say."

Jaenara frown as she look down at her lap, she thought she had more time before having to do her duties. If she was being honest, she didn't really expect to marry aemond, aemond always said he wanted a girl who was  like his mother to marry and jaenara wasn't really big on the seven like alicent or he was.

"Jae, are you okay?" Daemon ask making her look up at them as they stare at her pitiful.

"Yes, I'm...fine. Do we know when the wedding is." Jaenara ask looking at her aunt.

"Thirteen days from now." Jaenara's eyes widen.

"Thirteen days!" She exclaim shock making daemon and rhaelle grimace.

"He also wish you to stay at the Red Keep leading up to the wedding." Jaenara look down again in distraught.

This wasn't fair, she thought, she was suppose to travel to pentos with baela and alys. She wanted to explore essos this spring, now she may never see it.

"This isn't fair." Jaenara utter lifting her head up to look at rhaelle and daemon.

"We know." Daemon said sadly reaching for hand.

Jaenara gave a small smile as she held daemon's hand.

"But, you do not have to worry about consummating the marriage, I have already sent a letter to your grandfather about waiting until you are older to do it." Jaenara nod her head slowly before tilting it to the side.

"What's consummating?" She ask looking at daemon who cringe slightly before ducking his head, jaenara look at rhaelle who stare at her husband with a look before looking at jaenara.

"That's a conversation for another time," rhaelle slap her knee with her hand before getting up making daemon and jaenara's follow, "You should get going. You have few more days of freedom, you should spend it traveling and doing something." Rhaelle smile making jaenara look at her.

"Really?" Rhaelle nod.

"Of course, we can make it a family thing, we can visit pentos and start our way up." Jaenara couldn't help but beam and throw her arms around her aunt and uncle happily. 

"Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you." Rhaelle and Daemon chortle hugging jaenara back before pulling away.

"Send our love to your grandmother for us, my dear." Jaenara nod before walking towards the door.

Jaenara turn giving a small wave making daemon and rhaelle smile as sthey wave before watching her leave, they drop their hands and turn to one another.

"Why do I have the sudden urge to kill someone." Daemon says moving to take a seat on the couch, rhaelle smile at her husband as she took a seat on his lap.

"That feeling, my dear. Is called being overprotective, it's not the last time you gonna feel it." Daemon groans burying his face in rhaelle's neck making her giggle, "Oh, my sweet Dae," rhaelle press a sweet kiss on the corner of her husband's lips making daemon smirk and move his head to kiss her back.

Jaenara walk down the hall back to the great chamber forgetting to ask rhaelle and daemon something, but when she open the door she grimace at the scene before a soft look over took her features.

Rhaelle and Daemon were on the couch giggling and kissing one another, they look so happy, she close the door quietly not to disturb them. Before making her way back down the hall, something bloom in her chest after seeing her uncle and aunt like that, it made her want what they have.

But, could she found that with aemond, she thought.

The Funeral pt.2

Daemon and Rhaenyra were walking along the shoreline alone talking, daemon and her talk about what they been doing for the last ten years. Daemon talks about his life in the serpent islands, how he spent his time taking care of his children while rhaelle ruled. He speaks on how he married laena behind rhaelle's back and how along the years they became great friends, rhaenyra listen jealous at the life Daemon and rhaelle built for themselves, daemon mentions his infidelity that resulted in gaela and how he had to be sent away with laena and the children when the war happen in the serpent islands.

He talks about how hard it was when rhaelle left him to fight, how he filled the hole where rhaelle belong with paramours and laena. He regretted it he admitted how he felt a ashame for laying with other people who wasn't rhaelle, and when she came back things change even more when he found out about her injury.

"...it has been a tough few years things have change." He says as he stop to stare out at sea, rhaenyra stood close and agreed.

"Yes, they have uncle." Rhaenyra look at daemon before she look down at his hand, she move her finger touch his making him glance down and touch hers back.

"We have change." He looks at her no longer the young princess he remember long ago but a grown woman.

"Some more than others." He tilt his head slightly to the side, "She has made you weak, uncle." Daemon narrow his eyes at his neice.

"I am still the same man I was years ago." Rhaenyra shook her head step closer to daemon.

"She may make you think that but you are not, she had broken you uncle she has taken everything that made you special and had you lock it away." Daemon look away from rhaenyra, he knew what she said was true but it wasn't entirely rhaelle's fault, "As she rules and fight wars you sit in a castle  waiting for her to return to you like some maiden." Daemon look back at his neice with a dangerous glint making something stir in the princesses chest.

"Watch yourself, neice."

"I mean nothing by it, I am only telling you what I seen and what you told me." Rhaenyra sigh looking down as her hand brush against daemon making him use his finger to brush against her own, "If you had chose me I would have treated you like a king like you deserve." Daemon move to stand in front of rhaenyra, he can not lie and say that he did not miss feeling like he had the whole world in his hand, and at any moment he can easily crush it if he wanted to without any consequence.

"Why did you follow me, sweet neice." Rhaenyra look up at her uncle with a placid look.

And here he was with rhaenyra who after all these years still wanted him, still carved him, who look at him as if he was a living god. But, he still love rhaelle, rhaelle is his whole world along with his children. After seeing what happened to laena, she distance herself from him just like she did when the war was over in the serpent islands, rather than comforting one another she decides to lock herself away and make daemon worry. It feels like she doesn't love him anymore even through he knows she still does, and it makes him so frustrated that they can't talk about it like they use to which is why he been acting like...the rogue prince.

Daemon looks at rhaenyra, maybe he just need to let his frustrated out in a way that he knows how, rhaelle won't know.

"The same reason you couldn't take your eyes off me, my prince." Daemon watch as rhaenyra's hand reach up to coddle his cheek, he move his face into her touch and close his eyes, "Do you still want me, uncle." Daemon open his eyes and look at her.

"Only if you have me, neice." Rhaenyra lift up as daemon bend down to connect their lips,  they held each other as they share a kiss.

"I want you, daemon." Rhaenyra whispered against his lips making daemon move his hand along rhaenyra's gown to unloosen her laces.

—

The five boys walk along the beach dunes toward the resting dragons when suddenly they heard a loud growl stop them from headed towards where they dragon were, they turn to the sound making maekar and baelon who were  familiar to the beastly sounds of vhagar make maekar look worry while his brother wore a smile.

"She followed us." He said moving away from the direction of his dragon and towards where vhagar was.

"Baelon, where are you going, get back here." Baelon didn't listen as he continue on to find the beast soon ronas and romarn follow after with aemond.

Maekar turn to where their dragon slept before looking back at the boys go off, he follow after hurrying to catch up. As they walk further along the beach dune, maekar stop to look out at the shore, it was dark only the light of the moon could make it possible to see. Thats how maekar saw his father and rhaenyra together, he hunch down seeing them walk side by side. Curious. He stayed where he was watching them.

While maekar was seeing what his father was up too, the others found vhagar nesting. They stood far from the she-dragon, baelon look at aemond who gawk at the great beast in awe, baelon took a step back trying not to get notice before he nudge aemond forward cashing the boy to slip on the sand. Aemond turn to glare at Baelon moving to shove his shoulder making the mischievous boy snicker, ronas and romarn shook their head at their uncle's antics.

"This is your chance, aemond." Baelon jest, "Go claim the largest beast to ever live." Aemond scowl him.

"I will have to be an idiot to go near her." The boys chuckle before back to watch vhagar unknowing to them aemond was actually thinking about doing it.

As they stood there baelon finally notice that his brother wasn't with them.

"Where is Maekar." Aemond furrow his brows as he look around with his cousins.

"He must have chicken out and return to the castle," Ronas says looking at his brother who snicker making baelon look at him with a look.

"My brother is no chicken." He said darkly before walking away. 

"Where are you going." Romarn ask.

"To find my brother, don't do anything stupid while I'm away." He stop and turn to look at ronas and romarn, "Can you two idiots do that." Both brothers scowl their cousin, making baelon smirk and walk away to find maekar.

As baelon walk the way they last came he walk along the beach dune to see maekar hunch down looking at something, baelon came closer to his brother before he can say anything his words got stuck in his throat at seeing his father and rhaenyra kissing.

"What." He mutters making maekar look away to look at his brother, baelon stare stun at the display he couldn't believe his eyes.

Maekar got up shielded his brother from their father infidelity, maekar put his hands on his brother's shoulder looking at him when he notices the other wasn't with him.

"Baelon, where's the others." Baelon didn't say anything as tears welled in his eyes, maekar shook his brother making the young boy glare at him, "Where is the others," Baelon sniff blinking his tears away.

"They are waiting–" Before he could finish the sound of wings flapping cause them to look up and hear distant screaming.

They look at each other before dashing back where vhagar was nesting when they did they saw ronas and romarn running towards them.

"He did it...he did it, he climb on vhagar and flew off." Ronas says out of breathe.

"Why didn't you stop him." Maekar hiss at ronas making romarn step forward getting between his brother and uncle.

"What was we suppose to do, he ran off before we even knew what he was doing." Romarn snap back.

"We need to go back to the castle, and get help–" Maekar starts.

"What for? He claimed vhagar they're no need to get help." Romarn says

"We can't just leave him out there."

"He will be fine, unlike us if you go tell, if aunt valaena found out we didn't go to bed like she said, she tell our father and he kill me." Romarn stated.

"That sounds like your problem." Maekar turn on his heels stomping away with baelon behind him, romarn growl and follow after with his brother next to him.

They go through the cave that leads back inside the castle, when they get there they found rhaena, baela, alys, aemon, alyssa, aegor, balaegor, jacerys, daeron, jaenara, and lucerys coming into the cave.

"What are you all doing out of bed." Ronas ask.

"We could say the same for all of you." Aegor said looking at ronas and romarn with a glare.

"We went out for a walk." Baelon lied making aemon look him before looking at maekar.

"It's a long story we need to find mother–" Rhaena look away from her brother to see a long hair boy come in.

"Its him." She accuse making maekar stop to look at her, Maekar furrow his brows and turn with the others to see aemknd walking in with proud smile.

"It's me." He stops just between ronas and romarn.

Maekar watch as his sister accuse aemond of stealing vhagar.

"Your mother's dead. Vhagar has a new rider now." Rhaena was quick to charge at aemond making him shove her away, maekar watch with wide eyes as baela threw at punch at aemond making him do the same.

Aegor grab aemond by the collar of his robe and slam him against the wall.

"What the hell do you think your doing," he hiss to his cousin.

"That bitch hit me first." Aegor slam  aemond against the wall.

"Watch your tongue. Have you loss all sense in your head," Aegor was pulled off of aemond by Romarn making Aegor and Romarn bump chest.

"Leave him alone. She attack him first he was just defending himself."

Baela was help off the ground by jaenara and alys, as rhaena was being held by baelon who look at her to see if she was okay. Ronas stood beside aemond as they watch aegor and romarn.

"Of course you will pick his side." Aegor says.

"Enough. Both of you." Aemon and Maekar pull them apart, "We are all tired and it been a long day." Aegor look at Aemon before back at Aemond.

"He needs to apologize."

"For what? For defending himself or allowing vhagar to claim him." Romarn argues.

"Both." Jacerys says.

"Stay out of this bastard you have no part in this." Aemond says to jacerys, the tension was getting high as all the children went silent.

"Do not call him that." Jaenara hiss at her uncle stepping her away from her cousins, aemond look at jaenara with hint of hurt at her taking their side.

"Why not. You know it's true we all do."

"I said shut up." Jaenara shouted.

"Or what you gonna get your bastard brother to–" Jaenara was fast to slip pass her older cousins to tackle aemond to the ground, she hit him with her close hand repeatedly before she pull from him by Maekar.

"Enough." He says holding jaenara as she kicks at aemond, "It's not their fault that they're mother's a whore." Jaenara stop her struggle and glance up at maekar in shock.

"Yeah, it's not like they chose to be bastards just like they didn't chose to have a whore for a mother." Baelon says.

Aemon look wide eyed at baelon, before he could try to control the situation, all hell breaks lose as jacerys attacks baelon and jaenara elbow maekar in his face causing him to let her go of her and stumble back to knock into lucerys causing him to fall to the dirt. They were fight to the left and right, Alyssa held onto daeron to keep him from helping his brother as balaegor went off to get someone, baela and rhaena along with jaenara jump on aemond and started punching and kicking him, brother fought brother, cousin fought cousin, uncle fought nephew.

In some way, they were taking their anger out on each other, baelon out of jacerys, romarn out of aegor, aemond out of jaenara, ronas put of lucerys and jaenara. Even, aemon started to fight maekar after aemon push maekar causing the younger brother to punch his older brother. The fighting didn't stop, not when Alyssa and Alys scream at their own brothers to stop or when blood and bruises painted their face.

Jaenara jump on aemond back as he fight jacerys, she got him in the chokehold that she seen the knights do in the courtyard whenever they train, aemond got up off jacerys struggling for air. He swing his body trying to get her off him when that didn't work he slam his back into the wall, whe she didn't let go he did it again harder causing her head smack against the wall and let go. Her head throb and everything look fuzzy for a second, aemond held a rock that he grab when he started to fight jacerys. He swing around not knowing that it was jaenara who choke him, and the rock contacted to the crown of her head making her fall on her side.

"Jaenara!" Alys cries, her cries made everyone stop fighting as they watch alys and alyssa run over to jaenara, as they go to check on her, aemond drop the rock in fear.

"Jaenara! Wake up." Alys says as she shakes her cousin but the young girl didn't move, Alys starts crying as she move jaenara so she was holding her in her arms.

The boys watch horrified. Baela and Rhaena held each other while Alyssa still tries to wake her cousin up, lucerys stares at his sister, his big sister his bestfriend. He starts breathing heavy before he tears his eyes away from his sister to glare at aemond who stare at jaenara with misty eyes, no one saw it coming they were so focus on jaenara unmoving body to catch lucerys take out his small dagger and charge at aemond.

"This is for my sister." Aemond look at lucerys before he let out a blood curling scream as lucerys's dagger slit his eight eye causing him to holler and cuddle his eyes.

Aemon and Makear took their eyes away from jaenara to aemond who continue to howl in pain, maekar stalk to lucerys taking the dagger out of his hand and throwing it aside while aemon went to aemond's side.

Balaegor came rushing in with guards, one knight look around at the sight of the children and notice prince aemond and prince aemon, the knight hurries over to aemond trying to get a look at the aemond's eyes.

"Gods be good." The old knight mutters making aemon look at him concern.

"Is is bad." He ask making the man look at him.

"Very bad, my princes."

A moan came from jaenara causing alys and alyssa to turn to her to see her fluttering her eyes open, the young girl's head was pounding and everything was fuzzy again. Alyssa cries out in relief as jaenara slowly sit up with the help of alys.

"She's alive." Alyssa says.

"Thank the gods." Aemon says getting as the knight pick up aemond to take him to the hall. All the knights guided the children to the hall and had a servant go get the the king and queen along with the rest of the adults.

—

Rhaelle was limping down the hall alone when she came from laenor's chamber, she went to go to her and daemon share room only to find a servant there telling her of what happen. Rhaelle burst through the double doors to find everyone there waiting as aemond was getting his eye looked at, she saw valaena and aeron with their children and corwyn's children and baelor was next to aemond, rhaelle turn to her other children and gasp at their faces.

"Mother." Aemon stood up going to her, she set her cane in her other hand and grasp her son's face. He had a bruise cheek and busted lip.

"My gods, what happen to you." Aemon swallow casting his eyes away from his mother.

Rhaelle move to check on her other children, baelon's lip was busted and his nose look broken, maekar's nose was also broken. Alyss and Alys look fine. She went over to baela and rhaena to see them blooded as well, anger flow through her as she look at her children beaten face.

"Who did this?" She hiss to the crowd, she look around as everyone stood there with dumb looks, "I want to know what happen, now." She snap slamming the end of her cane on the floor so it made a loud sound.

"A fight broke out between the children, princess." A knight from house velfrey says, rhaelle furrow her brows and look over at her grandchildren, balaegor didn't have any bruises or blood but aegor did. Ronas didn't look beaten as well but nothing can be said about his older brother who was huffing and puffing as the maester look at his nose.

Her eyes soon turn over to jacerys and lucerys who were both beaten as well, she look back at her sons, she pinch the bridge between her eyes and sigh, this was thr last thing she needed to deal with.

The doors to the hall was open, rhaelle turn to see rhaenyra hurry in and go towards her children. Not a second later daemon stood by the door leaning against the wall, as rhaelle look at him he kept his eyes on rhaenyra and her boys. She look away from him and back to her children, she notice maekar and baelon looking over at their father with a share look.

"I want to know what happen and I want to know now." She said looking at Aemon, who glance over at his brothers, "Hey, I'm talking to you, what happened." Rhaelle put her finger under his chin and made him look at her.

"I...I tried...I..." Rhaelle frown as her son's eyes start to well up making her drop her hand and pull him into her chest.

"Shhh, it's alright, I'm sorry. Your not in trouble..." she said before looking at her other two sons, "...none of you are in trouble–" Rhaenyra's voice cuts through making rhaelle look at her.

"They should be. They all should be punish along with aemond." Rhaenyra said.

"For what?" Baelor ask with his arms crossed looking at his sister.

"All I want to know is what started the fight." Valaena says next to her husband who was scorning Aegor.

"Please, we must calm down. We will get to bottom of thus and move from it," Viserys says.

"I do not think we can, your grace." Rhaenyra says making everyone look at her, "Vile insults were hurled against them and me by your son and nephews." Rhaenyra look to baelon and maekar making rhaelle shield them from her view.

"What insults?" Viserys ask.

"The legitimacy of my sons' birth was put loudly to question." Viserys look to his son who glance away before looking over to his nephews who held no remorse.

"My sons would never do that." Rhaelle defended her children.

"But, it is true, auntie. Baelon called us bastards and maekar called our mother a...whore." Jacerys says making rhaelle turn to look at aemon who glance away yet again before looking at baelon and maekar.

"Baelon? Maekar? Is this this true." Baelon look up at his mother before looking at his cousin before back at her, he shrug his shoulders making rhaelle scowl him before looking to her other son.

"Maekar?" The young boy glance at his mother before looking at his father who stare at him with squinted eyes.

"I said it." He turn his eyes back to mother, "And I'm not sorry that I said it." Rhaelle sigh as she rubs her forehead.

"See. My sons are in line to inherit the Iron Throne, your grace. This is the highest of treasons." Rhaenyra turn her eyes over to her cousins, "Prince Aemond along with Prince Baelon and Prince Maekar must be sharply questioned so we might learn where they heard such slanders." Rhaelle glare at rhaenyra.

"Your not doing shit to my sons." Rhaelle spat angrily.

"Nor our brother." Baelor snap, "It is obvious that things got a bit heated and they repeated words they didn't mean." Maekar roll his eyes along with Baelon who yawn in his hand making Viseys look at him.

"Are we boring you, Baelon?" The king questions making baelon look at his uncle.

"A little bit, uncle, yes. After all it has been a long night." He said with a tired smile making Rhaelle hiss at her son to stay silent.

"He doesn't even show remorse for his actions," rhaenyra says with a scowl making baelon look at her.

"Like father, like son." Rhaenyra swallow as she saw the anger that filled his eyes.

"Enough." Rhaelle says looking at her son before looking back at the room, "It has been a long day, all the children will say their sorries to one another and go to bed."

"I agree." Viserys says.

"What of my son's eye? Will he not get compensation." Viserys look to his wife and try to talk to her as rhaelle rub her face with her hand, she look over at her children before looking around the room.

"Where is jaenara?" Rhaelle ask her children making the others look at her.

"A knight had to take her to her chamber for the maester to look at her, she was hurt bad in the fight." Alys says as she rub her nose with the back of her hand.

"What happened?" Rhaelle ask worried.

"Aemond hit her in the head with a rock and she pass out for a few minutes before she came to again, but when waited for you in the hall she threw up and started seizing up." Alyssa says as she hug herself, rhaelle look over at aemond who stare at the ground before looking at rhaenyra who was staring at Alyssa with a blank look.

"Do try to look a bit worry, rhaenyra. She is your daughter after all." Rhaenyra turn her eyes to glare at rhaelle as she pull away from her son to go closer to rhaelle, rhaelle move away from her children as she glare back at the princess.

"Yes, my daughter. Mine. Not yours." Rhaenys look rhaelle up and down with sneer, "No matter how much you want her to be she is not your daughter, your daughter died because you couldn't take care of her."

"You fucking bitch." Rhaelle slap rhaenyra making the princess stagger back, rhaenyra huff touching her cheek with the back of her hand.

"Cunt." Rhaenyra attack rhaelle makjng them fall to the ground.

Everyone watch with wide eyes as rhaelle knee rhaenyra in the side before pushing her off her, she climbs on the girl and started slamming her against the floor.

"You miserable bitch you just had to open you fucking mouth." Rhaelle mutter as rhaenyra use her hand to push rhaelle's face away causing rhaelle to bite her hand.

"Ahh, you whore." Rhaenyra hiss before snatching her hand away and grabbing rhaelle's hair to pull making rhaelle growl in pain as she took her hands from rhaenyra's neck to pry her hand from her hair.

"Rhaelle! Rhaenyra! Stop this at once." Viseys shouted.

"Fuck her up, mother." Baelon shouted before he was pull away by his grandfather.

Rhaelle and rhaenyra struggling on the ground as daemon watch in amusement, the last time he saw rhaelle this angry was when he had to tell her about gaela's mother. It was making him hot to see rhaelle all angry.

"You pathetic old hag, no wonder he doesn't want you." Rhaenyra says loud enough for only rhaelle to her, "Maybe that is why he rather fuck me than you." Rhaelle stop her attack on the princess and look down at her, she glance up at daemon as he kept the knights from touching his wife before look at rhaenyra.

Rhaelle laugh in her face making rhaenys and everyone else in the room give her odd look, she push herself off rhaenyra as she held a amusing smile watching as rhaenyra gets up as while with the help of her father and corlys.

"What is so funny." Rhaenyra hiss, rhaelle ignore and look to her mother.

"Mother, take the children to bed." Rhaelle says looking at her mother who was surrounded by her grandchildren, "please, mother I do not wish for them to hear what I have to say to this woman." Rhaenys look at her daughter for a moment before she start ushering her childern up the stairs making rhaelle watch.

"I ask you question." Rhaenyra snaps making rhaelle look at the girl.

"You are you stupid girl." Rhaelle laugh again, "You actually think that he cares about you, he doesn't, belive me he doesn't give a shit about you." Rhaenyra look at daemon as daemon look at rhaelle, "You are no more than a warm body no a warm mouth to him," she motions to daemon making everyone in the room look with wide eyes.

"You are just jealous." Rhaelle chuckle rubbing her face exhausted from the day and from these people she call her family.

"You will see. He will use you and come running back to me, begging for my forgiveness." Rhaelle look at daemon with a look, "He can't help but come back to me," Rhaelle smirk looking back at rhaenyra scowl, "so enjoy him while it last, because the last whore he convince he was in love with ended up being discarded like trash after nine months." Rhaelle walks forward making viserys put his arm in front of rhaenyra to keep rhaelle and her apart, but rhaelle was done fighting and walk pass them.

"You all have a goodnight, now." Rhaelle says as she walk up the stairs while everyone watch.

She went to jaenara's chamber looking to see laenor sitting in a chair next to her bed with his hand holding her small one while his body bend forward with his head on the her, she smile at the scene before closing her door, she made it down the hall towards gaela and gaemon chamber to find them still asleep in the same bed.

She didn't want to go back to her own chamber knowing daemon was going to be waiting their with some half ass excuse, so she started a fire in the fireplace before flopping down on the couch with sigh. She been so busy taking care of laenor and being there for him that she forgot about herself, she grab the small pillow next to her and put it against her face before let all the emotions of today seep through her sobs and screams.

The hope of tomorrow being a better day was nonexistent, all she hope is that she didn't have to deal any of her relative again.
