" Lucerys , give that back ". I yelled
" dose your father know you have a dagger", the littlest valeryon asked
" it's to protect myself Luke ", I answered as I circled around the table , trying to get a hold of him and my blade
" your a girl , your not suppose to play with swords and daggers". Luke said
" and your 6 so neither are you but here we are ". I said eyeing his movements,
" you can't be a knight you know", Luke told me
" I am going to be a knight " I proclaimed
" no you'll have to find a husband. and marry and have babes" . He said
" and who's going to stop me ". I told
" me , your going to be my wife ". Lucerys said I looked at him and laughed , it was no secret to me that Lucerys had been taken by me , it was adorable but me being older then him I couldn't much take him seriously
" your laughing at me , it's going to happen you know , so you don't need this dagger I'll protect you", He proclaimed
" From who exactly aemond?" I questioned still laughing , it'd been a few weeks since the incident and my house's loss of the dragon vhagar and my cousins laena and laenor
" from anyone who dare try to harm my wife ". Luke told he was adorable.
" give me the dagger luke". I told
" only if you sing to me tonight". He bargained
" I sang to you last night and the night before , I'm not an entertainer Luke". I told
" your leaving tomorrow are you not , where'd you even get this Dagger from ?". Luke asked eyeing the well crafted blade
" your mother gave it to me , she saw me looking at it, it was Laenors ". I said I saw Lucerys's expression change
" pardon me I hadn't known ". he said walking up to me and handing me the dagger , I pulled him in ruffling his hair and he wrapped his arms around me .
" I'll sing to you tonight , since it's my last after that you'll just have to make due without me ", I told he shook his head in understanding. I smiled to myself.
" you two coming for dinner? ". Jacerys said appearing at the door way . We followed after him . My father sat at the end of the table , it was no secret to me that my father Vaemond disliked Daemon , he disliked Rhaenyra and thought her children were bastards as did most of the realm , not one of them was born of a dark complexion or white haired , neither again my hair wasn't exactly white either. he didn't like the idea of me befriending the boys , he and my aunt Rhaenys suspected that Rhaenyra and Daemon plotted to kill Laenor so that they could be wed. I however knew the truth of that.
" you didn't kill Laenor did you" I said turning to face her my cousins dagger in my hands
" what happened to Laenor was a tragedy - ". She began I interrupted her before she could continue
" I've not grown Daft Rhaenyra, Laenor is alive isn't he ". I asked
" your cousin died in — " I interrupted her once more
" me and Laenor were very close , only one possibly closer to him then me was Laena , he was the only one that supported me and my dreams as a girl , the only one that didn't tell me my place was by a man's side , he is to me what you are to me , I knew about his affairs , his actual interest and I didn't much care , because I love Laenor for who he is , Jace , Lucerys and Joeffrey aren't his but he loved them , I don't care Who there father is I love them all the same , when I was five I made Laenor a Bracelet , he wore it everyday , I saw it around his arm the day of the funeral but there was no reminiscent of it when his body was pulled from the fire , then there's the matter of his missing lover , his lover that did not come to mourn him at the funeral , who hasn't been seen since , you don't have to tell me why? You don't have to tell me where he is ? Just tell me is it true , is Laenor alive ? " I asked
" it's true". She said I let out a sigh of relief , I felt like I could breathe again
" but you must not tell a soul" . She said
" don't worry cousin , whatever you and Laenors reasons were I trust them , this secret will never pass my lips". I said embracing her , I was afraid my aunt had told the truth , I knew in my heart Rhaenyra wasn't capable of that , I wish I could stay here in dragon stone with my favorite side of the family but my father would never allow it .
These days driftmark wasn't the same , aside from Amera I had no one , no real family except aunt Rhaenys , my brothers were off fighting whatever war or battle they were almost never home and I was just silently awaiting the day I was married off to some lord that had something to benefit my family.
" you know Luke and jace are absolutely taken by you , they'll be beside themselves in your absence ". Rhaenyra whispered to me I let out a small chuckle as I pulled my cup of whine away from my mouth,
" I wish I could stay Amera aside not much is awaiting me back at Driftmark ". I said
" wed jace , you could stay here in dragstone I'm sure we could make arrangements for your friend to join us here, if any other eggs hatch you could be a rider". Rhaenyra offered I looked over at jace at the table . I couldn't picture myself marrying anybody wether it be because I was 9 years or age or because I never saw Jace and Luke in that way I couldn't see a future with either of them .
" I don't want to Marry anyone , though I wish I could stay , I don't want to be anyone's wife". I told her
" you remind me so much of myself when I was your age ". She said embracing me, I looked up at her smiling , I could see my father shooting me a glare, whatever his business was with Daemon it was over and tonight was my last night in dragonstone.
