Throughout the Dance of Dragons - House of Dragon

Part III - I didn't mean to

After the incident on the training grounds everything got back to normal. Everything but not the relationship that Aemond and Daenera had built. The princess had kept her distance from the prince. What a foolish boy she thought constantly. And maybe that was the biggest problem for her that she would constantly think about him. The princess herself was prideful and did not want to admit to herself that she may have a crush on prince Aemond.

And so have the tables turned because now prince Aemond was dead set on following Daenerys around. He did not understand what had made the princess stop talking to him. Him talking nonsense before never stopped her from being his friend. But after he told her that he would not marry her she was very upset. Aemond did not understand as he never even thought that maybe the princess actually wanted to get married to him in the future. He had started to understand that his days were more boring when Deanera was not around and when he would offer her to spend time together she would find an excuse to turn down his offers. This was frustrating as the boyish crush he had on her grew stronger day by day. And it did not help that his brother Aegon had took an interest in the white haired girl. He was inviting her to spend time together while he training his dragon. What angered Aemond more was that she would agree to spend time with him every single time he offered.

"Brother remember I said I had a joke in mind for princess Daenera?" Aegon asked Aemond as they were both walking down the halls of the palace after training. "Yes, but you never told me what it was." Aemond answered a bit annoyed as the last thing he wanted to do is to help his brother charm his object of affection. "Well I have everything prepared and we can have a little bit of fun." Aegon laughed at his own idea that he had in his mind. Princess Daenera does not know what is coming for her. "So what is the joke?" "We are going to gift her a dragon of her liking." Aemond stopped walking as he looked up at the taller brother "Where are we going to get a dragon?" "It is not exactly a dragon as you may imagine it" Aegon said and chuckled "Come let me tell you all about it." And as the two brothers walking Aegon told about the joke he had in mind for the princess. Aemond laughed but in his mind it did not seem like a joke at all. He wanted to tell Aegon that they should not do it but the anger he felt in his heart for her turning him down got the better of him "She deserves it." Aemond said out loud as Aegon nodded and went on to get changed to his room. They would meet each other after lunch, gather the dragon and would present it to Daenera while she was sewing with their sister Haleana.

Princess Daenera enjoyed spending time with Haleana. Even though the princess was a bit strange they still got along. From time to time Haleana would say interesting things and through time Daenera started to understand that Haleanas sentences were actual prophecies as she was a dreamer. Not long ago Daenera asked the other princess if she thought that mother will find her a good husband to which Heleana replied A loyal eye will find it's way one day. Daenera had thought about it but could not understand what the princess had meant by that.

As they were currently sewing the princess could not stop thinking about how during lunch time prince Aemond had not stopped looking at her no matter how hard she tried to avoid his gaze. After they all ate all the princes ran off together and when she tried to ask her brothers what was happening Jace only said that it is going to be a surprise. And as she was thinking what kind of surprise it was the all mentioned boys walked in to the room she was currently at "Daenera we have a surprise for you." Aegon said while the other boys stood behind him. "It has come to my attention that such a lady as yourself has not yet attained a dragon." The boys chuckled behind Aegon who had been doing all the talking. "Maybe you are just too weak to have a dragon and too stupid for it." Aegon continued but with his last sentence the laughing had subdued. Daenera just stood there looking to Aegon, to her brothers and then to Aemond "What do you mean Aegon?" she raising and eyebrow and as she was about to tell them to leave Aegon took a mouse out of his pocket and held it in front of her.
