I go towards the salon, I need to eat something, I'm starving, when I enter, Colin stares at me and follows me all the way to the table, he is immediately surprised when I sit next to him, and he is not the only one, Aemond looks at me with one of his eyebrows raised and with a confused face, but I ignore him and go towards Colin.
— I was thinking, you are going back to Casterly Rock in two days, how about I leave in four? That way I can have time to prepare my servants and some guards to leave before me, since I am going in Storm. — He stares at me confused, he is stunned, he thought I was really going to kick his ass, but soon recovers.
— Of course, so I can also prepare a comfortable place for your dragon, I am glad you decided to go. - I give him a smile and glance quickly at my uncle, his expression indicating that he doesn't like this situation at all. I continue to eat and ignore his presence.

I leave the hall and go to Aegon's room. I intend to help him with some reading, but I hear someone calling me, I turn and find Colin, still a little afraid.
— Look, I know what you saw yesterday and... - Before he continues with his stupid excuses, I interrupt him.
— It's all right, Colin. You are a man, you need to have fun, I know you must miss it, after all, you have been married, you have experienced these pleasures, do not worry, it will not affect our relationship. - He sighs with relief, but continues.
— But what about Molina? She and your brother...
— My brother is not the saint you think he is either, and I have nothing to do with their relationship. I just hope that after our marriage, this won't happen again. - Colin opens a smile.
— After our wedding?
— You understand. If I decide I want to marry you, you're silly. - He smiles, walks over, approaches me, places a kiss on my forehead, and leaves.

*Valyrian*
— You are unbelievable, you keep considering marrying him, even after the... finding out what's between him and your brother's girlfriend. You are a fool if you really believe that they will stop seeing each other, even after they get married. Maybe you two really deserve each other. - Aemond speaks and walks off in the direction of the training yard, leaving me totally unresponsive. Damn it.

Yesterday after a long conversation with Baela, we came to the conclusion that it would be better to continue acting normal with both of them, even if he saw me, I would make something up, as I did. We already know that they are "lovers", now we need to find out what they intended, since he was going to marry me and she was going to marry my brother. It could be for access to the Iron Throne, but for that, they would have to eliminate Jacaerys and Lucerys. During our conversation, we remembered Emil, and wondered, did Colin order them to do this to him? If so, he is much more dangerous than we thought, but still, I decided to pay a visit to Casterly Rock. To discover the enemy's plans, you have to infiltrate, and that's what I was going to do.

Colin has been more attentive, more delicate, it seems that he wants to make up for what I found out. I do my best to pretend that everything is fine, that I understand him, that I think very normal what happened.
Aemond, on the other hand, has been ignoring me, barely looking me in the face, he really thinks that I am considering marrying Colin, even after all I have found out, but I don't judge him, I would also be very angry.
Sometimes we have to make some sacrifices for the greater good, in this case, if it were only the Lannisters, I would let it go, we could deal with them, but he is with a woman from Dorne, we urgently need to find out what they are up to.

I am just finishing organizing everything that my ladies will bring for me. Colin left yesterday and they will go today, as well as some guards, just in case, and as agreed, I will leave here tomorrow. My mother did not like at all to know that I am really going, she thought that I might give up on this idea, but now more than ever, I am inclined to find out how rotten Colin is, she will leave for Dragonstone, the tempers between her and the queen are worse, the fights between Lucerys and Aemond as well. My brother wanted to go with me, he got into an argument with our grandfather, he kept saying that we should take as much protection for me as possible, and that the ideal would be for one of them to go along, but my grandfather argued with:
"When she marries him, will you go along? Will you stay by her side while they consummate the marriage? No, and she will be very safe with Lord Colin." Alicent herself tried to reason with the king, saying that Lucerys was right, and even offered to have one of her sons go with me, but my grandfather refused, saying I am already taking some handmaidens for my company and guards for my safety, and that is more than enough.
