Innocence// AEMOND TARGARYEN ✔️

Chapter Sixty

!! This chapter contains smut!!

On the walk back to their chambers, Eirlys and Aemond heard a burst of giggles from down the corridor before the sound began to eventually fade.

Eirlys and Aemond exchanged curious glances before they turned around to have a look at who it was, though they already had a feeling that they knew exactly who it might be. They tip-toed toward the end of the corridor and peaked around the turn.

As suspected, once they'd rounded the corridor they saw Lyra and Maelor trying to sneak past them and make it to the end of the hallway.

They both looked amusingly at the younger pair who thought they hadn't been spotted yet, as they continued to waltz away from them in their sleeping attire.

"You both are supposed to be in bed" Eirlys sternly spoke that made both children halt in their steps, startled. They turned around slowly, exchanging nervous glances.

"But muña" Lyra began as she sheepishly walked toward her parents "we could not find sleep. We want to play with Vhagar"

"Play with-" Eirlys was taken aback that her daughter wanted to go have a play date with the largest dragon and that too in the middle of the night "my darling perzys, it's far too late for that. Besides, I'm pretty sure she is already asleep"

"But I heard kepa saying to you that his dragon was getting lonely during the nights" she looked up at her mother, head tilted as she gazed up at her innocently.

Eirlys' eyes widened for a brief minute before she glared at Aemond, who stood with his mouth slightly agape. He did not think Lyra had overheard their earlier conversation at tea.

When Aemond had mentioned 'his dragon', he wasn't talking about Vhagar, he meant his..

"Your father was just being... silly" Eirlys told her gently but not before she softly pinched Aemond's arm that caught him by surprise and made him wince "Vhagar is perfectly fine and content"

Aemond was trying his level best to not burst into laughter upon seeing Eirlys' cheeks heat up with embarrassment, even though their daughter did not understand the reference Aemond had made.

Thank the gods.

"Can we visit Vhagar anyway?" Maelor asked, still holding on to Eirlys' hand "we're awake anyway"

"I'm afraid not" Aemond cleared his throat when he saw Eirlys shoot daggers at him. She clearly did not find the situation funny and he did not want to join the kids in earning a scolding from her "Vhagar is sleeping, which you both ought to do as well"

The kids groaned in annoyance, clearly upset about their plans, to meet the large beast, were foiled. They both walked back their their respective chambers, pouting about being caught.

"And you" Eirlys looked at Aemond with a serious expression "you need to hold your tongue when we're in the presence of our daughter"

"Of course my lady" he grinned "I shall put my tongue to better use in between your-"

"Stop it" Eirlys stifled a chuckle as she looked around the hallway, nervous that someone else might hear the lewd comments her husband was making.

He could be so childish sometimes.

"There's no one here jorrāelagon" he chuckled as he watched his wife frantically looking around "perhaps I could interest you in a dragon ride?"

"I've had enough of you" Eirlys rolled her eyes as she marched away from him toward her chambers, Aemond following after her with an amused look plastered on his face.
