When Love Lasts (Aemond Targaryen)

Fire in my heart

  - A big week ahead of you.

- Oh yes, I have a lot to do today.

-I know your coronation will be flawless.

- Thank you Ella for everything, you are always there for me.

She just hugged me, it was enough for me to understand her message.

I headed towards the small council room. Today we have to make decisions who my brothers and sister will marry.

I was very nervous, because I didn't know who would give me a headache today.

- You are all here, I apologize if you have been waiting for me.

I walked over to my seat and Aemond was sitting next to me.

- We know why we have gathered today, it is time to take the next important step for the kingdom. We must choose carefully with whom we make alliances. Since I am one of those who should be married, I have a proposal for our queen.

- Let's hear it then, Rhaegar.

Aemond approached me subtly and placed his hand across my back. I tried to look normal, like I wasn't burning under his touch and he only provoked me.

- Lord Borros Baratheon did not promise his elder daughter to anyone and I know that he did not do it on purpose. He was waiting for one of us. I see it as a good opportunity, especially with House Baratheon as a good ally.

What did I deserve for Rhaegar to be my brother, I hope he knows how much easier he made my job. My conscience was gnawing at me, I had to check that he was sure about it.

- Are you sure you want to do that?

- I don't think there is a choice.
Aemond said, and I just looked at him.

- I understand, but I want you to know that I don't want any of you to agree to something you don't want to do.

- You didn't choose either dear sister, why should we? Maegor replied sharply

I felt the foreboding look that Aemond gave to Maegor, but Rhaegar intervened and prevented anything from happening.

- Of course I fully agree. I did some research and from what I heard she will make a good wife.

- Well, now that we've decided that I think I'm next. Maegor said smugly.

- Who do you have in mind, brother?

For me, the most important thing is that he finds a wife with broad views which will give him space to be who he is.

- Like my brother, I found a strong ally. House Tyrell, implementing the same tactics as Borros Baratheon left the eldest daughter unmarried. I plan to go and propose to her tomorrow, if everyone agrees I don't think there's any need to wait.

- Your Grace, you should be proud of your brothers, with this gesture they make our work easier.
Said Otto

- Lord Hightower, there is nothing the two of us would not do for our sister. Replied Maegor

Aemond seized the moment as they spoke, to lower his hand lower and lower down my back. He reached the part where my dress buttons up and started to unbutton it. I flinched at the very fact that he started to run his hand down my back. -"No!" I shouted and everyone looked at us then I realized that I was thinking out loud and that everyone heard me.

- Your Grace?
Asked Otto, suspiciously.

- Excuse me, continue.

I didn't even bother to come up with a lie to justify myself.

- Hmm how naughty are you, what will people think?
Aemond whispered to me
