Pentos, 10 years later.

3rd person POV

"That sounds awesome sister" Baela beams as she tailed behind her older sister, "you want you hear the best part?" Kataerys asks, "I get to follow father on one of the trips, mother will scream when she hears this" she says, they both laughed.

Both girls made their way to the courtyard, as they watched their father train, "my ladies, your mother requires you both" a maid says, both girls nod and began their way to their mother.

Kataerys's POV

I walked behind baela as we walked into the room, mother was sitting next to Rhaena, "there you both are, the tailor will be here soon, your father's birthday is tomorrow, I want it to be perfect" mother says, "will I have to deal with my cousins? Please tel me they aren't coming" baela groans out, I smirked at her sentence, "unfortunately yes, please children, I want you all on your best behavior, no fighting please, for your father's sake" mom pleaded, I knew she was talking about me, if there's one thing you need to know about me, it was that couldn't stand my cousins, especially Aegon, I stabbed him in the hand with a knife once, I don't regret it at all.

I walked into my room, placing my dagger down on the table, mother refused for me to possess a sword, but father got me a dagger instead, she wasn't pleased but she didn't disagree.

Throughout the night, I tossed around, I couldn't stop thinking, last night I had a terrible dream, the about my dreams is that they sometimes came true, it was about my mother, something happens to her during childbirth, I saw as she screamed in pain, then the whole thing engulfed in flames.

"my lady, my lady Kataerys, your morning bath is ready" a voice says, I stood up from the table and made my way to the door, "thank you Marie" I say she bows and walked off.

I walked to my changing room, a dress was waiting there for me, I hated dresses, I was more into suits, something more flexible, you can't fight in a dress, not while you have to suck in your breath.

"Kate!, Kate they're here" baela and Rhaena both shouted, "I'm coming" I yelled back.

Walking into the great hall, I spotted Jace and Luke standing close to their mother, "Princess rhaenyra" i beamed out, she opened her hands for me "oh beautiful Katie" she says, "you keep growing, fast" she added "I can't help it" I reply she busted out laughing, while we all talked, a loud voice boomed out.

"introducing king viserys and his wife queen Alicent and their children" the voice announces, baela and Rhaena weren't the only ones who groaned.

The party went on for hours, looking up I caught a pair of eyes staring at me, 'Aemond' I think to myself, he smirked before turning back to his mother who was speaking to him.

"You look stunning tonight" a voice says behind me, "Aegon I wouldn't like to cause scene tonight" I say as I walked away, "aww did mother make you promise?" He asks "technically I didn't promise, so get on my nerve and I might stab the other hand" I say, "oh that's gotta burn brother" Aemond says behind us, I roll my eyes and walked away.

Standing by the balcony, I watched as boats came and left the port, "You know we've heard stories of Kataerys the restless maiden all over Westeros, so young yet already making a name for herself" I scoffed, " Aemond what do you want?" I ask, "such hostility isn't necessary" he says, "fine, how are you?" I ask, he smiles "there we go, I'm alright thanks for asking" he replied.

we both talked for a few minutes, as much as I disliked Aemond, talking to him wasn't bad, I don't like it but it wasn't bad.

I watched as father opened his gifts, he smiled and hugged mother, "thank you my love".

For the next few days we had to entertain uncle viserys and his kids, the more time we spent together, the closer Aemond and I got, and for some reason Aegon wasn't happy about it, "so Helena, how are you today?" I ask, she stares down at her hands as she watched the spider crawl, "I'm fine, have you every fired two arrows on the same bullseye?" She ask, I shrugged "no" I replied "well, we'll see soon then" she says as she walked away.

I sat down by the port, feeding the fishes or training with father were two of the few things I enjoyed most in the world, but something about what Helena says still bothered me, most thought we both had the same abilities, she had the ability to see visions and they came to past, same as my ability, but that's not what fuels my emotions, i don't know what does.
