ღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღ

You awoke to the sound of crashing outside your chambers. Looking at the other side of the bed, you noticed that Aemond wasn’t there and the spot he occupied is cold, which means he has been gone for a while now. You stretched your arms and decided to get up to check the sound, only to find out that the doors were closed and you couldn’t get out. With a scowl, you tried to pry the entrance open, and when that didn’t work you banged on the wood and called out for help. The loud noise woke your daughter up as she started crying for attention, and you decided to stop your efforts and comfort her. “Good morning my dear girl.” you greeted Alysanne while picking her up from the cradle. “Oh, I’m sorry to have woken you little dragon. Did you sleep fine?” you asked and rocked her back and forth to calm her. When she opened her violet eyes to look at you, the love overcame you even stronger, she was your miracle, you didn’t know earlier that you could love someone as much as you did her. Nothing is equal to a mother’s love. You were so mesmerized by her, that you weren’t aware of the door opening and your husband walking in. Aemond stood in the doorway looking at you both, his heart warming up at the picture in front of his eye. You, his beloved wife, looked ethereal as always. The rays of sunshine, that burst through the window made the skin on your face glowing, and your attire added to the notion of thinking you an angel. Seeing you holding Alysanne, the epitome of the love you both share, made the sight even more beautiful. He slowly walked closer and placed his hands around your waist, making you jump a little.

“Aemond! You have frightened me!” you scolded him, turning to stand with him face to face. “I am extremely sorry, my love. It was not my intention.” he apologised with a faint smile, but the tone of his voice made you worried. There was something tense in it, and you wondered if it had anything to do with you being held in the room. “What’s wrong?” you asked him, making him sigh. He took the little girl from your arms, placing her back in the cradle, much to her protests, and led you to sit on the bed. You complied and waited eagerly for his answer, which he provided in an uneasy voice. “King Viserys is dead.” you sucked in your breath. The news wasn’t exactly unpredictable, but it still caught you off guard. While the king didn’t pay you much attention growing up, he was still your uncle, your blood, and that made you somewhat sad. “Oh.” was the only thing that left your mouth, as you were processing what you just learned, but your husband wasn’t done yet. “Apparently, he wished for Aegon to succeed him.” and with that your head whipped around to look at him so fast, that one could thing you broke the neck. This was new, as for years Viserys did nothing, but defend Rhaenyras claim to the throne and her position as heir, neglecting his other children in turn. Aegon as king was a bizarre thought. You also saw the distaste in Aemond’s features once he shared the news, everyone at court knew he detested his brother for everything he put him through as a child, and for being a useless waste of space. “I’m so sorry Aemond.” you told him, grabbing one of his hands to squeeze in a comforting manner. “For what? We all knew it would happen sooner or later.” you got up to stand before him and looking straight into his eyes you said “Yes, but he was still your father. You’re allowed to mourn for him” he stood up angrily and turned away to look into the burning flames in the fireplace

“He never noticed me. He never noticed any of us. It was always Rhaenyra for him. It was af if we were not his children, more like distant relatives he only had to see once in a while. He was no father to me. Criston Cole was more of a father than he was.” you walked to him and hugged his back, placing you chin on his shoulder. “What’s done is done. We need to get ready for our duties and coronation of a new king.” he said turning to you and kissing you on your forhead. In that moment a servant appeared and told your husband that his grandsire wished to see him. That left you alone in the chamber and you decided to call the maids to dress you and Alysanne for the day, as you were planning to check on Helaena and see how she was holding up. You chose one of your many beautiful sapphire gowns with long sleeves and dragons embroidered on the skirt, it was a gift from Aemond. The color resembles the eye he hides under the eyepatch. You also own a big collection of sapphire jewellery, the common folk taken to calling you and your husband the Sapphire Prince and Princess.

You sat with Heleana as the children played together with the maids watching over them. “How are you feeling, Hel? With the pressure of being crowned queen soon enough.” you asked your friend. “There is a beast beneath the boards.” she muttered, but quickly recvered to ansewr your question. “To speak truthfully, I don’t know. I never wanted the crown, all I wish for is spending time with my children, away from all these schemes and politics.” she said in a sad voice. You reached over to take her hand, which she accepted. It was known that Helaena did not like touching, but you were her sister, her dearest friend, and for that reason you were the exception. “I’m sorry about all of this. It shouldn’t have been your burden to carry.” it was a pity that she was married to Aegon, he didn’t deserve her. Soon Queen Alicent came to join you for tea and the three of you tried to forget about what was to come, if only for a little while.

It was time to crown the new king. You, Aemond, and Helaena stood in the Dragon Pit, watching people flooding in. Otto proposed to hold the ceremony before the eyes of common folk, so that they would recognize Aegon as the rightful king. It was a smart move, you have to admit that, but you knew that it would not stop Daemon and Rhaenyra from trying to take the throne back. In truth you didn’t care who sat the throne, all you wanted was to fly back to Runestone with your husband and daughter and live your life peacefully there. You begged Alicent to let you leave, that you wanted nothing to do with their schemes, but it all fell of deaf ears. She only told you that it was Aemonds duty to stand by his brother’s side, and as his wife, you should support him. Aemond noticed you anxiously playing with the ring on your finger and placed a hand on your back to help you ease up a bit. In that moment you saw Alicent arrive at the scene, which means Aegon is outside and the coronation is going to start. “People of King’s Landing. It is the saddest of days. King Viserys the Peaceful passed away.” started Otto Hightower and you heard the murmuring all around the pit. “It is also a joyous day, as he left us with his final wish for his son Aegon to succeed him.” The soldiers marched into the room creating a path for the late king’s eldest son to walk towards the stand. Once Ser Criston Cole placed the Conqueror’s crown atop his head, he stood up and looked at every member of his family for approval. When his eyes landed on you, you gave him a quick courtesy with a clenched jaw. He then turned to the crowd and lifted the sword, Blackfyre, and you could’ve swear that in that moment, he started to like his new position and power.

A few seconds later the happy shouts became screams of terror, as the ground began to fall and from below emerged a red dragon. It was Meleys with Princess Rhaenys at her back. The Red Queen came closer to where you all stood. Aemond quickly put you and Helaena behind himself for protection, and you noticed Alicent doing the same with Aegon in the corner of your eye. You thought to yourself that that was it, you would all die in the flames, but the dragon only roaerd in your faces and Rhaenys escaped, no doubt to Dragonstone to inform Rhaenyra and your father of what transpired. The image of Daemon made you shiver, now you were sure that he will be out for your blood.

Once in the safety of the castle, you hastily made way to the nursery to be with your daughter. You found her in the arms of one of the maids. You put her on the rug and started playing with her. About half an hour later Aemond came into the room. “They’re sending me to Storm’s End as an envoy. I’m to bind Lord Borros’ loyalty to our cause.” you frowned and tried to talk him out of it. “No. Have them send someone else and let us go back to the Vale.” you saw him lower his gaze and try to stop you, but you didn’t let him. “You know that Daemon won’t let this slide, he will be out for revenge against his wife! I don’t want us to be caught in the crossfire!”. “Aegon’s my brother. I have to do this, as it is my duty. I will go and offer the Baratheon fool Daeron’s hand in marriage to his daughter. I will be back before you know it.”. You didn’t like it and had a bad feeling, but you knew how stubborn your husband is and there will be no talking him out of it. You let him go, and for the next couple of days, you stayed close with Helaena and Alysanne. Finally, when you heard the unmistaken sound of Vhagar, you were elated, as it meant your dearest husband was back. Without a thought, you sprinted towards the council chamber where you knew he would head first. Nothing could’ve prepared you for what you heard next. Aemond Targaryen committed the greatest sin known to men - kinslaying. He murdered his nephew, Lucerys Velaryon in the skies, while chasing him on his war dragon. “You have lost only one eye, how could you be so blind?!” chastised him Otto Hightower, while the new king sat and laughed in delight. “You have doomed us all!” screamed Alicent and you were just horrified. You knew they would retaliate, ater all, your husband killed Rhaenyra’s favourite child. Your head kept spinning as images of could they do now invaded your mind. “The bastard is dead. Others would be soon too. It seems to me that we ought to have a feast in my beloved brother’s honour.” said Aegon and made no room to argue, while you just got up and ran back to your chambers.

When you entered your rooms, the tears spilled. You cried for the boy, for your husband and for yourself, but most importantly, you cried for your daughter. Now there was no way for you all to return to normal life, not when your husband began the war, that will certainly become marred with even more bloodshed soon enough. Aemond walked into the room not much later, and flinched when he heard your desperate cries. When he tried to touch you, you just backed into the corner. “Do not touch me!” you screamed, trying to compose yourself. “How could you?! Do you have any idea what you have done?!” you continued yelling. It was a good thing Alysanne was left under the care of Helaena and wasn’t there to witness the fight of her parents. “My love…” he started but you cut him off. “No! Don’t you dare! You put all of us in grave danger! They will want blood for this! My father won’t stop until he avenges Luke! Blood will flow this castle! There would be no peace for us! No mercy!” you started hyperventilating, you were having a panic attack. “Darling please, listen to me. I didn’t mean for it to happen. Vhagar didn’t listen to my commands. She devoured him on her own accord.” you just looked at him, your gaze full of hurt and fear, it broke his heart seeing you like this. “Your mother is right. You have doomed us all! You shouldn’t chase him in the first place, what did you expect to happen!?”. He noticed you shaking and took you into his arms as you tried to break free. After a minute of struggle, your energy drained out and you just accepted the hug, just laying in his embrace motionless. As much as you hated him for what he’s done, you loved him way to much to be angry for long. Now you needed to focus on protecting your family, no matter the cost, as you knew that the payment will come sooner or later.

It wasn’t until one night, when your husband was away gathering support for Team Green, that the retaliation for Lucerys came. You and Helaena were on your way to Queen Dowager’s chambers with your children, as it was a routine lately, to spend some time before heading to bed. Once you entered the chambers, you saw Alicent Hightower gagged and bound, as well as two unfamiliar men standing inside the room. Both quickly overpowered you and the princess and barred the door. “Tis’ nothing personal. A debt to be paid. Nothin’ more” said one while they both took the children captive. “The False Queen needs to choose, which son has to die. Fast before we make the choice ourselves.” said the other assailant. “Please! They’re innocent, spare them.” you tried pleading with them as Helaena offered hersef in the children’s place. “A queen is not a son.” said one man and ushered her to make a choice. You tried to get to the children but there was no way for you to do so, without harming the children in the process. “Maelor.” Helaena whispered. The younger son was still at the age where he didn’t understand what was happening around him, same as your daughter. “You heard that boy? Your mommy doesn’t love you” as while saying that, the man cut off the head of Jeahaerys, the oldest son of Aegon and Helaena, and the other one repeatedly stabbed little Alysanne in her cheast and belly. “NO!” you screamed as you saw the man throwing your daughter’s lifeless body, as if it was a useless rag. You and Helaena quickly made way to you fallen children weeping so horribly, that the whole castle heard it. The sound of grieving mothers tore through the walls, making anyone who heard it flinch. “No, no, no, no..”you muttered holding your daughter. “My light, please, open your eyes. Please.” you wailed as you rocked her in your arms, pleading to the Gods for it to be an awful nightmare. It was not an awful nightmare, but rather dreadful reality. The only thing you heard except for yours, Helaena and Alicent’s crying was the escape of the murderers and words “Black Queen sends her regards”.

While you were being attacked, your husband returned to the keep and immediately went to find you. Once in the castle, he heard the screams leading to his mother’s apartments and he hastily made way there, along with Aegon and Ser Criston Cole. They found the door barricaded and called for more guards to help remove the obstacle, and when it was done, they saw the most horrifying scene. Dead bodies of their children, weeping wives and their mother tired up and gagged. When Queen Dowager explained them what took place, they went inot the state of madness, Aegon started yelling how could the guards let it happen, that he wanted the men found and brought to him, he was inconsolable. Aemond on the other hand stood frozen, he knew it happened because of him,. His nephew and his daughter, his beloved Alysanne, were ripped away from this world because of his own stupidity. He caused that and he couldn’t even look into your eyes, nor Helaena’s. He was overcome with grief and loathing for his actions, but he knew he had to be strong for you, even though he wanted to break down into tears himself. “My love…” he tried to get your attention, but you were focused on your daughter’s face. You dress soaked in her blood, as you stroked her hair singing her favourite lullaby. There was no way for you to let go of her, your state was truly horrible. After sitting there for hours, Silent Sisters came to collect the body, but you didn’t want to part with her, with your sweet Alysanne. Aemond came up to you. “Darling…she’s gone. You have to give her to them. They need to prepare her for the funeral.” you were reluctant, but Aemond finally managed to convince you to let go of her body.

For weeks after that you were closed off, not going out of your chambers, dismissing everything that happened around you. You couldn’t bear the grief and the emptiness this brought you. Even at the funeral you blocked it all out, when the children’s bodies were shown to the people of King’s Landing declaring it to be work of “Rhaenyra the Cruel”. All you wanted was your daughter, but you couldn’t have her, as she was so cruelly taken from you. At the battle at Rook’s Rest Aegon got badly injured, it was a miracle he even pulled through, and your husband was crowned Prince Regent to rule in his stead untill the king recovers. He gathered the army and with the new Hand of the King, Ser Criston, he marched on Harrenhall. Aemond feared leaving you alone and decided it would be best to bring you along. During your stay there, your husband ordered the extermination of house Strong. No one was spared, but a witch named Alys Rivers, who Aemond taksed with your recovery. You and the bastard woman became fastly friends, and she helped you find the courage to join your husband on the battlefield. You wanted revenge and you were out for blood. Soon enough along with Aemond you were terrorizing the Riverlands and became a symbol of death, as you burned every keep, and every lord known to be loyal to the blacks. Vhagar and Canniball were a formidable duo that spread fear all around the realm.

Eventually, when you were away from Harrenhall, your husband received a letter from your father Daemon, that he’s waiting for him and wishes to battle. Without telling you, he made way towards the God’s Eye and without fear fought against your father. After you found the letter, you jumped atop the Canniball and flew towards the battlefield, only to arrive to late, as you witnessed Daemon jumping off Caraxes’ back and plunging Dark Sister into your Aemond’s good eye. You screamed seeing this and urged your dragon to fly faster. Aemond and Vhagar fell into the waters and sank into the lake, as you took on Daemon and Caraxes to avenge your family. The battle was tough, but you emerged victorious, thanks to stabbing your father straight through his neck. As you landed on the shore, you weeped. For your daughter, your husband, your mother who were all killed by Daemon Targaryen, as well as Helaena who committed suicide by throwing herself from the tower, landing on spikes. You were alone, you lost everything. You and Alys went into hiding, up until hearing the news of the death of Rhaenyra. Aegon fed her to his dragon Sunfyre, while her young son watched. Soon enough the king was poisoned by his own men, Alicent was confined to her chambers and was said to go insane. It was too much for you. All you wanted was to be back with your family, that’s why one day, when Alys wasn’t there, you decided to drink poison. Just before going to bed, you took a sip, and faded away into dreamland, where you saw your husband and your daughter eagerly waiting for you. You knew that you could spend eternity together.

𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧'𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐝,𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮.

plot: Since you arrived to the court, you were hated for a reason you didn't know, you ignored it until somoene tried to kill you. he thought he sucess, but he didn't seem to know that you were more strong that you seemed to be.

Type: Angst/fluff

Warning: Blood, description of death

Characters:The family of the dragon.

Numbers of words: 4.1k

You were not old, you were 15 years old, at most when you had been sent to the royal court a few months ago by your father so that you would receive a good education that he had not been able to give you. No sooner had you been introduced to the royal family than you felt an unamitity on the part of the other persons of the court, especially the women. Why? Because you seemed to catch the eye of several young men in the royal family. Yet you paid no attention, taking their expressions of affection for friendship, but, it only made them closer to you, This angered many young women in court who had tried to seduce them in order to marry them to bring prestige to their home. This is what brought you into this unfortunate situation, you had done nothing wrong and yet, you were going to pay dearly for your arrival in court.

┊

You were running through the dungeon corridors in the middle of the night, trying to escape your attacker while trying to slow the flow of blood coming out of a wound on your left side. Your eyes saw blurred and the only thing on which your mind could focus was the pain, which, like electricity, seemed to spread through your body quickly. The man who was chasing you, was entering through the window of your room while you were getting ready to sleep, he had surprised you and, even before you understood what was going on, you had felt a strong pain, After that act, the only thing your brain could focus on was surviving. So you started running away from him but you knew that this chase would not last forever, you were losing more and more blood and it was becoming more and more difficult to put one foot after another. You walked into the first room you came across, before trying to hide from the man who seemed to want to kill you.

┊

"Don’t try to hide." the man’s icy voice reached your ears and you curled up in your hiding place, you were too young to die, you still had a lot to do. What would your father say when he finds out you’re dead? and your friends? Aemond, Jacarhys and Lucerys will be sad, that’s for sure, but you doubted that you deserved their sadness, you were only there for 6 months. They couldn’t have become so attached to you, could they? When you heard a noise near where you were, you suddenly returned to reality and began to tremble, you were going to die. The fear paralyzed you when the man pushed the furniture you were hiding behind, and you felt a sudden pain before everything turned black before your eyes. The man stood in front of your inanimate body before leaving the room, leaving the knife on the floor, he had a smile on his face, and, proud as he was, he only wanted one thing, his money.

┊

But the man had not been very intelligent, indeed, he had not bothered to read the information that the commendators of the murder had given him, otherwise he would have known that you were very appreciated by the royal family. I mean, that’s another point, for now, let’s go back to you. When you woke up, you were always lying in the same room where you took refuge last night, the pain was still there and the only thing that came to your mind was to run away, you couldn’t stay there, Otherwise, he’d come back and you’d die for good this time. You got up as best as you could and limped in the dark halls, reaching the stable where you climbed on a horse already saddled. It wasn’t long before you galloped through the city gates, where were you going? You didn’t know it yet, but you knew you had to run away.

┊

What you didn’t know was that your room covered in blood had been discovered by a servant who was eager to run to the nearest royal apartments where the young servant knocked on the door frantically. When the door of the apartment finally opened, this was Rhaenyra who had to welcome the panicking maid who seemed unable to say two words in a row because of her panic. The heiress of the throne had her sit on her bed to try to calm her as best she could, it took some time but she succeeded. What’s going on to make you panic so much?" asked Rhaenyra gently to the young maid who although she seemed to calm down, she remained nervous. "Lady’s room y/n… There’s blood everywhere and she’s nowhere to be found, I’m afraid something will happen to her" the servant spoke in a nervous voice and suddenly, Rhaenyra’s expression changed, she seemed to panic too, even though she seemed to handle her emotions better.

┊

"Thank you for warning me, I’ll go right now, tell the other members of the royal family to join me. But don’t warn Aemond, Haelena, Jacarys, Aegon and Lucerys, understand?" Rhaenyra spoke quickly, taking the young woman by the shoulders. The servant shook her head quickly before turning her heels and leaving the room to warn the rest of the royal family. For her part, Rhaenyra also went out to go to your room, fortunately, he was still early and the sun was not rising so she met no one in the corridors except some servants who were raised earlier than usual. When she finally reached your room, she stopped by the door for a moment, her heart pounding rapidly in her chest. She had already seen blood, that’s not the problem, what was causing her was knowing that it was yours. Even if the heiress of the throne didn’t show it, she was fond of you.

┊

She was soon joined by Queen Alicent, her father and uncle, who were all somewhat upset that they had been awakened for something they were not told the reason for. The princess quickly explained to them what the servant had told her and why she had asked them to come here. All showed an intrigued and shocked expression, of course, for obvious reasons, this was Daemon who came first into your room, and, hardly had he set foot in your room that a horrible smell was felt. the smell of blood, the scene before his eyes was astounding, he seemed to have had a fight in that room, the duvet was ripped open, the mumps had fallen to the ground and were soaked with blood. Your personal belongings were also on the ground, as well as some books that Jacarhys had lent you. You seemed to have defended yourself for your life, but there was too much blood for anyone to think you had a chance to survive. He came out of the room with a calm step before inviting the others into the room, it took courage for Alicent not to vomit when she saw the amount of red on the floor and on the sheets.

┊

The woman turned to the other people in the room, all seemed suprised, some disgusted. Alicent cleared his throat before speaking softly "We…we must find the body" her words hid the horrible truth that no one dared to say." I doubt that we will find a body, the killers often recover it as proof that they did their mission" Daemon spoke, looking up at her. Alicent understood at that moment that no tribute can be paid to you, except by words, they will have nothing to console themselves. So they all left your room one after the other, each one went silently to their room. Just Alicent as Rhaenyra knew that she could not long hide your death from their children, indeed, you used to spend your days together, and you were one of the few people who could make Aemond smile, to his mother’s delight. I mean, as a mother, Alicent had to tell her son.

┊

When Aemond came out of his room, his mother was waiting for him and the young man frowned when he saw his mother’s sad expression. "What’s going on, mother? Are you all right?" The redheaded woman shook her head, and took her son’s hands in hers. " Something happened to y/n, please, before you panic, listen to what I have to say." said Alicent quickly as she saw her son start to panic, she started talking again as the young man opened his mouth to talk. His room is in a horrible state, there’s blood everywhere. "According to your uncle, someone was sent to…kill y/n, however, she didn’t survive, I’m sorry Aemond." Her face took on a softer expression when she saw that her son had understood what she was saying. With a maternal instinct, she came to hold her son against her even if he did not seem capable of crying, too shocked to answer. Nevertheless, after a few moments, the queen felt her son’s tears wet her neck. She thus remained for a period of time that no one could define.

┊

Everything was fuzzy in the blond prince’s head, how could you be dead? That wasn’t true? A lie. Last night, when you said good night to him, he had to hold you back, tell you to stay with him for the night but he didn’t have the courage, he regretted not forcing him to stay, not holding you back while he watched you go towards your room. And now you were dead. He regretted, but he could do nothing but hope that your death was not violent. As he cried against his mother, he hoped that the memories of you, which he had in his head, would not disappear too quickly, that he would not forget the sound of your voice. He thought about that time when you forced him to take a walk in the woods, pretending it would do him good to see something other than the walls of the dungeon. You had both spent the afternoon, chasing after you like children, you had even made wreaths of flowers for each other. But you were gone, he would never relive moments of joy like this again. Plunged into a sadness that seemed endless, he closed his eyes and let this memory appear before his eyes again and again.

┊

A similar scene was happening in one of the neighboring rooms, between Rhaenyra and her boys, except that Lycerys did not want to admit your death, it could not be true, what would happen now? Who would he be spending his days with now? It was thanks to the calm words of his older brother that the young man admitted your death, even if he did not like it. It was a dark day for the Targaryans, all the flags of the royal family were lowered and this worried the people, who of the powerful family of the dragon had died? They had no answer to this but the atmosphere inside the Red Keep was gloomy, where a few days earlier your laughter could be heard, there was only silence, there were no more people helping the servants in their tasks, The smile on Aemond’s face was no longer there, and the young princes were struggling to comfort themselves by spending the day together, telling stories about you.

┊

Stories like when you managed to go out at night to see the dragons because you could not sleep and the princes had accompanied you because, a lady should not go out alone during the night, it can be dangerous for her. You had to roll your eyes before you went ahead and say the last one that came in was a lannister, yeah, you didn’t hold this family in high esteem. But it had made the boys laugh, and they were eager to let you go, and in the end you were the last to arrive, complaining that it was because they were taller and older than you. Aemond was content to laugh gently with a friendly gesture before you returned to the dragon stable. An interesting fact about the family dragons was that they seemed to like you very much, like their master. When you arrived, you were greeted by the grunts of the winged cattle who seemed happy to see you, of course, you spent the night at their side until you fell asleep. When Rhaenyra and Alicent, panicked at not having found you or their children when they woke up, they found you huddled against each other and did not have the will to scold you. They just woke you up and you made up an apology before she assured you everything would be okay, that it wasn’t a big deal.

┊

It was still necessary to organize a funeral and make public your death before trying to find the one who had killed you. It was a few days later, a few miles from the city, that your belongings, what was left of you, were ignited by the mighty fire of Caraxes, the royal family knew that the mighty dragon, which many considered odd, was your favorite, and, From the day you arrived in the Dungeon, Daemon would occasionally ask you to fly with him to Caraxes. Other times, it was Syrax and Rhaenyra who brought you in. I mean, now you were gone and they had to try to move on, knowing that you would live in their hearts until they died. The first moIs were difficult for the whole family, especially the princes, who, despite the advances of the court ladies, refused them all, people said that with your death, their hearts were also dead. Their family helped them as best they could but they admitted that they had to continue to live, despite your death, that they should not let themselves be slaughtered and that they had to get up.

┊

As the months passed, you stayed with your father, you arrived on a cold, unconscious morning on your horse. Quickly, you had been treated but you remained for many months in your bed, unable to get up, in addition to the nightmares that the event had caused you. But little by little, you started to get better, you could start walking again and it didn’t take long for you to get back on the horse. Yet, you didn’t want to go back to the Red Dungeon for fear that your killer would still be there, if he tried once, why wouldn’t he do it again? Your father had informed you that he had received a letter from the royal family announcing your death and asking him to join them for your funeral, but the man did not come and stood by your side. Your father feared that something would happen to you again and you asked to stay with him for a while longer, and you accepted. But Aemon was starting to miss you and the days were getting long at your father’s castle, and you couldn’t stand to be locked up here. One evening, you came to tell your father that you would leave the next morning and the man simply shook his head with an amused air. "Be careful y/n , I can’t bear to receive a second letter informing me of your death, real this time"

┊

This was how you got on your horse and greeted your father in the early morning the next day. You never galloped your horse as fast as the night you ran away from being hurt. You hated to go back to the Dungeon and the trip took you several weeks even if in reality it was only a few days. As you approached the city, you could see the Red Keep in the distance and your heart began to beat faster. How would they react? You were supposed to be dead, but you were going to be in front of them. Aemond, you were going to see him again and it filled your heart with joy and, at the same time, it made you more and more stressed. Faster than you’d like, you’d go back into town and the Keep would get closer and closer. You slow down your horse before you enter the stables and you put your hood on your face, to make sure you’re not recognized by the waiters you knew and who might know who you are.

┊

You were slowly entering the dungeon, it was strange for you to come back here after so much time. Trembling, you continued to advance in the dark corridors, you wanted to cross one of the Targaryen and tell them that you were back, that this man had not killed you, that you had not died. You walked a few more meters before you suddenly stopped, you had just seen him. Aemond was there, but he seemed not to be well, as if he had not slept for long. His uncle was with him and the two men seemed to be in an important discussion about, you not knowing what. and they walked in your direction, you had two choices. Either you would pass by without turning around and maybe miss a chance to tell him you were there, or you would intercept them and awaken your presence. You waited silently for them to pass in front of you and you reached out your hand to grab the blond prince’s arm which appealed to him. "What are you doing?!" he spoke in an exasperated voice as he removed his arm from your grip.

┊

The tone of his voice and his look made you a little frightened but you knew you had to do it quickly and before he could ask you to answer him, you lowered your hood, revealing your face. The two blond men suddenly became livid, you could understand, they certainly thought they were in front of a ghost. You only smiled a little while they were waiting for one of them to speak, but they seemed to be made of stone, neither of them reacted until a time lapse. You looked down, moaned, but you were surprised to feel Aemond’s arms around you as he stood against you, and he came to bury his head in your neck and whispered, "I don’t care if you’re just an illusion, I’m glad to see you. I missed you, maybe I’m going crazy, but it doesn’t matter, you’re here" you smiled softly as you came to stroke his hair hesitantly, and Daemon continued to look at you, always so surprised. When Aemond finally receded, the one whom you considered your uncle approached you and came to hug you too, and you realized that you had found a family within the royal court. And you stayed in his arms, too, until he steps back, Aemond’s eyes were wet, as if he were about to cry as he was looking to you.

┊

The king’s brother, as if he could feel the tension between the two of you, quickly moved away, you didn’t know if he just wanted to leave you both or if he was going to warn the rest of the royal family. It didn’t matter to you, as long as you were with Aemond, you didn’t want to break that magical moment between you two. The blond man did not seem to believe that you were alive, he came to put his hand on your cheek, in a way so sweet that he seemed to be afraid that you were made of porcelain.You smiled tenderly, you had missed him, his smile too, He was certainly the prince you loved most and you couldn’t doubt your feelings, you loved him, but did he love you too? it was not sure. Then he leaned towards you and his lips rubbed against yours, you don’t know if it was because of the moment , but you answered his kiss and kissed him, pressing your lips against his. What surprised you is the passion this kiss seemed to have, as if Aemond had been waiting for you for years to get this kiss.

┊

As lips leaved yours, he smiled gently at you, you knew he wanted to say more and, as you wanted to start talking, you were interrupted when you saw Jacarhys and Lucerys running towards you, the two rushing towards you, And if Aemond had not held you back, you would have fallen, but the prince held you by the shoulders. "Where have you been? Why did you leave?" the two princes asked with one voice, they didn’t seem surprised to see you standing in front of them, despite the fact that you were declared dead. "It’s a bit long to explain…" you said in a hesitant voice. "Mom will be so happy to see you! she missed you a lot, you know!" said Lucerys in a joyful voice, you shook your head quickly but before the two boys could tell you anything else, Aemond intervened. "I think y/n is tired from her trip and would like to rest, she can see your mother at dinner." The man’s voice was calm but firm, leaving the two boys no choice but to greet you before running away. You thanked him quickly before he took your hand in his to guide you. "Your room stayed as you knew it, no one’s slept in it since you left."

┊

"Really? I’m glad to know that despite my "death" no one came here, you know how much I care about this room," you told him smiling as you pushed the door of your room. The first thing that surprised you was to see everything intact and that nothing had changed, as Aemond had promised you. You came to lie on the bed with a sigh of contentment, you were at home now, you had found your room and those you considered your family. "Don’t fall asleep, you have to attend the dinner, I think Alicent and Rhaenyra will have a lot of questions to ask you" Aemond said coming to sit on the bed next to you. You think they’ll ask me to tell you what happened that night?" you asked him, while you were still lying on your bed, with your eyes closed. Not right away, they’ll ask you where you’ve been, why you left." He tells you when he comes to take your hand in his hand, smiling tenderly at you, if he didn’t have dinner, Aemond would have spent the night hugging you, staying by your side, to make sure you won’t disappear so soon.

┊

But the responsibilities came first and the man helped you pick up a dress for dinner and was pleasantly surprised to see that you had finally chosen the green dress he had advised you to wear. He offered you his arm so that you would take it before heading to the dining room with a smile still in your face. You walked through the door that you felt everyone looking at you, most of them were surprised that you were there, but they all got up to greet you warmly and ask you how you were doing, and that sort of thing. The dinner went wonderfully and you answered the various questions, you told what had happened to you and Daemon assured you that the one who had attempted your life was no longer of this world and it was the same for those who had ordered the murder. After the dinner which lasted a long part of the night, you did not return alone to your room, but accompanied by Aemond who could thus show you all the passion and desire that he had for you.

┊

The months that followed were filled with joy for you, the royal family approved the relationship you had with Aemond and it was not long before you married him. The marriage was splendid, just like the wedding night, which, some months later, allowed the birth of twins, two boys, then came a girl the following year, so your life continued, in joy and this sad event disappeared soon from your mind.
