Midnights // Aemond Targaryen // Aegon Targaryen (2)

8. Best Aunt Ever

A place in this world // Helaena Targaryen out now!

"Found them at the gates, claiming to be Velaryon." 

Aisha stepped forward, they certainly looked it. 

"Aisha?" Addam questioned. 

"Yes." She answered looking between them, they couldnt be much younger than herself. 

"I'm Addam this is my brother Alyn." He reached into his bag and began to pull out the map but a knight brought his sword up, holding it to Addam's neck. Addam stopped lifting his hands up. "We were at dragonstone." Addam remarked. 

"We saw your father." Alyn added. 

"Put your blade down." Aisha demanded. 

"My lady-"

"Lower your blade." Aisha demanded again. He lowered it as Aisha stepped forward. Aemond took Addams bag from him searching through it. 

"The map." Addam remarked. "Lord Corlys said you would protect us, we wanted to help protect our family but he said there were no Velaryon's at dragonstone. His wife betrayed him, his grandsons were not of his blood."

"Who's your father?" Aisha asked as Aemond pulled out the map dropping the bag at his feet as he opened it up. 

"Laenor Velaryon." They declared proudly. Aisha stepped closer and touched Addam's chin. She did see so much of Laenor and her father in the boys. 

"Aisha," Aemond declared flipping the map over. She read it over. 

"It didnt make any sense." Alyn remarked having read it over on the ride to the capital. "We just wanted to help, our family is in trouble, we don't shy away from danger."

"Lord Corlys said to say he misses you."  Addam added. "That he would see you soon and we would all be together." Aisha nodded as her fingers grazed the bottom. 

"Your favorite." She whispered. "I believe them." Aisha's eyes filled with tears as she looked to them. "Lets get them settled and a hot meal." Aisha declared. 

"Best aunt ever." Alyn declared as Addam picked up his bag. "And you were worried." Addam gave him a shove.

Aisha tried to be patient as Addam and Alyn ate supper and changed into fresh clothes but she had so many questions but the most important one was how was her father.

"He seemed fine I guess." alyn answered as he lifted forkfuls into his mouth contently. Aisha looked to Addam. 

"He was injured it seemed, under guard." Addam answered. "But he looked hopeful, when he begged us to come here. To see you." Aisha nodded as she pulled at her fingers. 

"My brother, Laenor... did you ever meet him?" Aisha asked. 

"No, but mum told us about him." Alyn offered. 

"He was, fighting in the wars. I'm sure if he knew about you he would have-" Aisha offered. 

"Mum told us she didnt tell him." Addam clarified. "He was fighting and fucking his way through like all the other soldiers but she said he was brave."

"Why come all this way for a man you never met, Laenor is... he died..." Aisha sucked in a deep breath as she met Addam's gaze. "He was murdered by Rhaenyra and Daemon." she corrected. 

"Heard it was fire." Alyn agreed. 

"They killed him so they could wed." Aisha informed him. "They took my siblings, Daemon killed my sister even if it was unintentional, he killed her. Then Rhaenyra and Daemon killed my brother in cold blood all for power."

"I'm sorry." Addam said softly, as he touched her arm. 

"He was a good man, a great brother, he was a good father but Luke and Jace and Joffrey are not his blood. Not mine." Aisha assured them. "I want to get my father back before he loses his head at their hand, at my mothers hand."

"Yeah he didnt seem to happy with your mum." Alyn agreed. 

"She is a traitor." Aisha confirmed. "She will die will screaming along with the murderers she sided with." 

"Vicious." Alyn remarked. "I like her."  Aisha choked out a laugh as she looked between them. 

"You are safe here. You have a home here." Aisha told them honestly. 

"Whos the pirate lurking in the corner?" Alyn questioned nodding to Aemond. Aisha turned around, she didnt know why, she only knew one, one eyed man. She reached a hand out for him. 

"This is my husband, Prince Aemond." Aisha told them. 

"Are we royalty by extension?" Alyn asked and Addam whacked him upside the head. "Ouch, dick." Alyn spat elbowing him in the ribs. 

"Be respectful." Addam countered. 

"It was a good question." Alyn murmured. 

"Aemond this is Addam and Alyn, Laenor's sons." Aisha introduced again.

"Welcome." Aemond told them as Aisha leaned into him. 

"We are here to fight for our family," Addam told him. "I guess that means Targaryen's now too." 

"Hightower." Aisha clarified. "Targaryen-Hightower."

"Make no mistake," Aemond agreed. "Those Targaryen cunts on dragonstone will go out in a blazing fire."

"Do you have dragons?" Alyn asked. "Can I have a dragon?" 

"Alyn!" Addam demanded. 

"Actually, Seasmoke was Laenor's." Aisha remarked. "Maybe one of you want to give it a shot."

"Best Aunt ever!" Alyn declared jumping up and rubbing his hands together. "Alright, show me the dragons!"
