"Me and The Devil, Walking Side By Side".
——————————————————————————*
Vaemrys brushed daemons Snow White hair and kissed his forehead softly. "Are you hungry,Love?", he asked and tilted his head back to look up at his wife. "Very", she laughed and put the golden comb down. She put a hand on her small stomach and walked around to the front of Daemon,the early stages of her pregnancy were showing. Daemon held her close and put an ear against her belly. "He cannot hear you yet", Vaemrys said rubbing his shoulders. "He...Why not a she? You've bore me many sons,you've not a daughter...", he said to her."Ah, isn't that what men wish not to hear? What use is a daughter?", Vaemrys says sarcastically. Daemon said nothing but kept his eyes trained on Vaemrys. "If you give me a daughter, you will give me eternal happiness", he said. "Eternal?", Vaemrys laughed. "Eternal, your beauty will pass on. I hope she will be like you. Brave, Loving, And...", Daemon sighed and leaned back in his chair. "And will choose the right path for herself", he ended.
Vaemrys knew of Daemon and Viserys' relationship as of now, it was complicated. "My father is a kind man, he loves you.", Vaemrys said. "Let's now, eat", she said grabbing daemons hand with a smile.

Vaemrys woke up later than usual, she felt something was off today. Deep down, like a dreadful feeling in her heart. Diserys stood at the painted table. "There you are.", Vaemrys smiled at her son. "The Sea Snake Is going to die, Isn't He?", he asked. Vaemrys shifted uncomfortably, "Diserys-", she started. "I can't be Lord of the Tides. Grandsire was the greatest sailor who ever lived. I get greensick before the ship even leaves the harbor. I'll just ruin everything. I don't want Driftmark. It should've passed on to ser vaemond.", he said. Vaemrys sighed, "we don't choose our destiny, Diserys. It chooses us.", she said."Grandsire let you choose whether you'd be his Heir. You told us so.", Diserys countered. Vaemrys looked down in defeat before looking back up at her son. "And do you want to know the truth of it? I was Frightened. I was Seven-and-Ten. A bit older than you are now. I Had Two young children and two more on the way, with little knowledge of how to rule. I wasn't Ready to be Queen of the Seven Kingdoms but it was my duty and in time, I came to understand, I had to earn my inheritance.", Vaemrys leaned on the painted table softly.
"Im not like you.", Diserys said. "In what way, Sweet Boy?", she asked him. "Im not so...perfect".
Vaemrys smiled brightly and embraced him. She kissed his cheeks before replying, "I am anything but. My father looked after me and helped to prepare me for my duties. Your mother will do the same for you.", Vaemrys said to Diserys.
"Good Morrow, Princess". "Good Morrow, Ser Lorent", Vaemrys greeted. He bowed and began to speak, "Princess Rhaenys Has Just Arrived On DragonBack. She Urgently Requests an audience with you and Prince Daemon". Vaemrys gave a reassuring expression to Diserys.

Aegar leaned on the stone wall and watched the boys train. "Vaemron", he called. In return, he earned a hum from his brother. "Who do you think mother loves most?", he asked. He wasn't jealous nor was he ambitious. He was simply curious. He knew exactly who daemons Favorite was.He watched Rhaegons swift movements. His blade, it was as if it was apart of him. A limb that he was bound to since birth. "Mother loves us all, I can't say the same for father.", Vaemron replied. "...why do you ask?", Vaemron turned his head to his brother. "She is diligent on Diserys", Aegar said. "This is because he is more strong than targaryen. We all know this, we have to protect him", vaemron said. "I know that. It's just...look at vhaegon", Aegar said as they both looked at their younger brother. He looked angry all of the time, if not angry then annoyed.
