When Love Lasts (Aemond Targaryen)

My head is a mayhem

- Do you have to go? I asked Rhaenyra sadly.

- Unfortunately yes, my dear girl. A lot has happened these few days. It is best to withdraw for a while and as soon as the opportunity arises we will come back.

- I understand. Take care, and convey my greetings to everyone and say that I eagerly await for them.

- I will, be careful! Avy jorrāelan (I love you)

Every time I have to part with my brothers I feel a pain in my heart. I never managed not to cry.

- We will see you soon, don't shed tears. Spoke Rhaegar, who hated when I started to cry because he never knows what to say, how to comfort me.

Honestly, I didn't need comfort I felt appalling that they were leaving me. No amount of comfort could fix it.

- We will be here whenever you need us!

I nodded my head in response to Maegor's statement.

And with that I watched them leave.

  ~I didn't pay attention to my surroundings and quietly returned to my chamber's with sadness. Ella was waiting for me there.

- Ella, I didn't expect you here at this time.

My thoughts immediately wandered to what happened between me and Aemond. As soon as I think of him I feel butterflies in my stomach.

That moment of tranquility was interrupted by another thought. How should I tell her what happened?

- Princess, I have to tell you what I saw last night.

Fortunately, she interrupted me I just have more time to figure out how to get out of the whole situation.

- What did you see?

I asked her excitedly because I could tell from her body language that she couldn't wait to tell me.

- I saw a certain prince in a loving embrace with that mysterious woman you told me about and I can tell you that she is not so mysterious anymore.

My stomach flipped. I immediately felt sick. That bastard tricked me. How stupid I am?! Well of course he lied, how is it possible for someone to declare his love for you like that and you haven't even met properly.
Okay focus Aemma look composed, don't let Ella question you.

- What do you mean she's not mysterious anymore?

- I found out some informations about her.

- Such as?

- Her name is Alys Rivers, she is much older than the prince and as you said, she is his night friend.
They say that he chose her because she was the only one who could fulfill his wishes and needs.

- That's disturbing piece of information Ella I don't want to know any more of it.

I said it cheekily, and the little she said was too much for me.

- Princess I'm sorry if I burdened you I thought you wanted to know a little more about the prince. Are you well, you look pale?

- I know, I am sorry for the reaction it is not your fault. I'm fine, my family left so I'm still under the impression. As for the prince, I don't want to know about his actions I see he's having a lot of fun, unlike me. I don't blame you. If you would be so kind as to inform everyone that I am not feeling well and will be having dinner in my quarters.

Ella obeyed me and left to attend to her further duties. She left me alone with my thoughts. That was the worst for me.

Anger, hatred, the desire to go and dig out the other eye he had left overcame me. My brothers didn't protect me and teach me the right values, so that I would allow the first arrogant man to play with me and my emotions like that.
