" you've no need to worry , your marriage will be a happy one, you will fight in contest and win glory for your house he will be by your side": Haelena told I eyed her confused as to what she spoke of, Haelena was odd but in an amusing way , she was also very sweet and Kind . Only the gods know the way my stomach turned the day I found out she was betrothed to that animal Aegon .
"Jahearys drop that" I said taking the wooden trinket from the twin boys mouth. despite being here for almost a second week I'd seen the twins fathers less then a hand full of times. I'd yet to see him in the same room with his children, I'd yet to see him in the castle even wandering about.
I stared at both the twins , their ice white hair and steely blue eyes, their was no denying that they were Targaryen's . I couldn't help but think of the children I would come to bare. Would I even be a competent mother. the idea of having to bare children always made me feel nauseous. Walking around with a swole belly. Risking my life to give life. I still remember when the late Queen Aemma, Rhaenyra's mother passed away . She died along with her first born son . I was more then Terrified that a fate such as this would befall me .
" Salena would you care to accompany me in the garden ". I heard a familiar voice say, I hadn't noticed him arrival
" of course my prince ". I said getting up from the children. I made my way over to where he was standing, we made our way from Haelena's chambers and to the garden.
I thought about last night, he'd been quite vulnerable telling me the truth behind his taking in my hand in marriage, that conversation changed a lot , changed how i now saw him. Helped me to better understand him. We had trained in the morning and even then he was being different, he wasn't as aggressive as the day before , he was holding back I could tell, though I mentioned it not to him. he was treating me very delicately, it felt like a performance.
" what are you thinking of?" He asked as we strolled the patch of roses
" you". I answered
" why think of me , I am right beside you", he told I turned to face him.
" ever since we had spoken in the late hour you've been different". I told him
" how so? " he asked
" Your treating me like I'm fragile , this morning at practice you were holding back , I could tell it feels like it's not real", I spoke
" you wished for me to give you a husband, I am trying to be that". Aemond spoke
" I wished for you to train me , to fight men who would not hold back simply because I am a women, I wish for you to honor me as yourself, I want whoever you are not this idea of a husband ". I spoke
" you speak to me in riddles women , you drive me mad". He told a light chuckle escaping his lips , I could see his smile for the first time , it was cute and boyish. I found myself chuckling at his answer.
