The Fate of House Targaryen- Aemond Targaryen (English)

Chapter 9- The city of temptation

Casterly Rock is a huge fortress, it has so many rooms. It's like a maze, without Colin I could easily get lost in there. I tried to memorize as much as possible the most important rooms. But each time I located myself, I would turn four more halls and I would get lost, it seemed to be on purpose.
I thought we would stay here, but he told me it wouldn't make sense, since it's just a fortress. And I am already very familiar with it, so we would go to Lannisport.

As soon as we arrive in town, Colin takes me to the spice street, the name says it all, the strong smell of the countless spices hits me hard, but not in a bad way, it's wonderful. The more we walk, the more I want to explore. Street of Flowers, Street of Gold, Street of Exotics, there are so many, but my favorite was the Street of Knowledge, I can't tell the exact amount of libraries, or stalls selling books, tales of the free cities and countless other things related to this.
I  could spend an eternity here, and I don't think I would ever get tired. Lannisport is not like King's Landing, there the focus is on taverns and houses of pleasure, here the streets are like every part of the continents, it's unbelievably wonderful.

It was such an incredible experience, that I didn't even realize it was getting dark, I only realized when Colin called me to go to a tavern, he said it was his favorite.
As soon as we enter, a man comes to welcome us, he is very tall and strong, to get to his size, you would need at least three of me, I think. He hugs Colin, but soon starts arguing with him for having disappeared for so long, he looks at me and then at the man again, and says:
— I had a very good reason to stay in King's Landing. - The man who before was not paying much attention to my presence, looks at me intently, widens his eyes and makes a bow.
— Forgive me, My Princess, we are not used to receiving royalty here, I did not realize we were in the presence of a Targaryen. I apologize again. - He says, bowing again, only more clumsy. Colin begins to have a fit of laughter.
— I don't think I've ever seen anyone make Ivar so nervous. - He speaks to me and turns to his friend. - Relax, brother. Rhaenys is not very fond of formalities, don't worry, she is here to have fun. - I give him a smile, confirming what Colin said. Ivar returns the smile and speaks:
— Since it's fun you want, it's fun you'll have!

We drank, danced, played cards, drank again, and so on for the rest of the evening. One hour I danced with Colin, another hour it was Ivar, after that we all danced together. Later the other three friends of Colin arrived, along with their wifes, we kept talking until dawn came, I could barely walk without help, and Colin too. And not to go back like this, Ivar made a room available for our two, the only one that Ivar could find. A room for both of us, the only one that was free.

— Don't worry, I'll be sitting on the chair, you can lie on the bed. - He says as soon as we enter the room, but I'm not very well, the whole room seems to be moving and before I have time to warn him, I put all the wine out. Colin quickly grabs a bucket, stands behind me and holds my hair while I am vomiting non-stop. When I finally finish, I lean back against his chest, and he strokes my hair.
— Sorry, that's shameful. It's been a long time since this happened. - I say, and Colin tries to comfort me by saying that he has been in much worse situations, including in front of the King, which causes me a fit of laughter. I think that if he had no other intentions in marrying me, I could easily agree to marry him, but that is not going to happen. I try to get up to disengage myself from him, only to find that I am practically powerless, Colin notices and helps me to the bed.
— Get some rest, we can go back to the castle at lunchtime. - I would protest if I had the strength, so I relax and fall into a deep sleep.

I feel a soft touch on my face, open my eyes slowly and find Colin staring at me.
— Come on, I want to take you somewhere before we return. - I get up, still a little sleepy, but now I can stand on my own. We leave the place and walk towards Sunset's Street, Colin begins to tell me how there is one of the main ports of the Seven Kingdoms, I already know this. But I don't interrupt him, I am more concerned about looking at everything around me. It is an old construction, but still I am impressed at how resistant it is, there are several ships anchored, Baela would love to be here, the Velaryon part in her blood would vibrate.
