Dragon's Oracle // Daemon Targaryen

21. Welcoming Feast

Its been a week since they aelana came back from Driftmark, from the deep blue sea and light air to dirty streets and humid air of kings landing.

From sea salt filled air to air like smell and taste like piss.

Apparently Rhaenyra and Laenor wedding was to be held in the upcoming week. Viserys decided that it need yo ne fine as soon as posible.

Why? Aelana don't know.

Maybe he had heard about cole amd rhaenyra conversation of running away and eating oranges.

Aelana couldn't help the laugh she had burst into when rhaenyra told her about Cole's plan. But she knew how obsessed men can get so she warned her about cole and to stay away from him.

Tomorrow viserys was holding a welcoming dinner for all lords and ladies. It would mark the start of the wedding festives, there would be dances, and songs, and magicians, and grand feast.

House Velaryon will also sail to kings landing but the princess rhaenys, laenor and laena will flew to kings landing on their dragons.

they claimed that it was their family tradition but to Aelana it was more like a stunt to showcase their power. after all house Velaryon currently owned the war bred Vhagar, the red queen meleys and the haunting beautiful Seasmoke.

Lord Corlys was unfortunate for he had no dragon but he had hundred of ships.

Aelana could clearly see that Rhaenyra did not wanted to be married but she was loving the wedding preparations. Spending hours to chose flowers and food and dress, it was all fun.

Aelana was currently laying on Rhaenyra bed while her niece was trying different wines for tomorrow welcoming feast.

She asked Aelana for her opinion Bud all Aelana said was that the wine need to be strong so it can wipe her mind clean and make tomorrow event a little bareable.

Rhaenyra soon gave up on asking her aunt for her opinions. She kept doing it herself and instead of spitting them out back, Rhaenyra was ingesting them. Giving her aunt sneaky looks but Aelana only rolled her eyes at her.

Rhaenyra would be married soon and even if laenor was a great man, marriage has its own perks.

After marriage you don't drink for fun, just to forget.

she was flipping page of the book, gifted to her by the librarian of Driftmark, seeing she befriend the old man who loved to spend time with her.

She was sure that Rhaenyra would soon fall on her face and will sleep, seeing how much she had drunk. And she had no idea to carry the princess to bed.

If the maids are going to find her on the floor, drunk out. Then so be it, it will give them something to gossip about. And it will be a fun story to tell when her kids will be older enough.

Aelana was reading her book, when there was a sudden knock at Rhaenyra's door, Rhaenyra didnt answered it but kept drinking her wine.

Aelana sighed at her and standing up she clutched the book In her hand. walking to the door she opened the door and viserys was standing there "Brother?"

"Aelana, I was looking for you. you weren't in your room so I came to found you here"

"Ahh yes i was with rhaenyra. She was rather nervous about tomorrow" Aelana looked at her brother confused, walking out of the room she swiftly closed the door behind her. Why was he looking for her so late in the day. it was bedtime and most people were already in their beds.

Aelana raised her eyes at him in question "Is everything alright brother"

"Yes Aelana its just that I want to talk to you about something"
