Married for Love Part 2 /Aegon II Targaryen/

Summary:

Alicient had enough of Aegon, so she sent him to a different kingdom, she hoped he would learn there. But Aegon found more than just a new home.

When you heard that a prince will be housed by your father, you didn't know what to think of it at first.

But then, Aegon joined your home.

---

You first met the Prince a day after his arrival, you were in your usual spot in the garden, watching the birds and feeding them from a bench in the shadows, hidden from the sun.

You noticed your mother and who you assumed to be the young Prince whom you heard so much about.

Both made their way towards you as you soon stood up and stopped feeding the birds.

"This is my lovely daughter, Y/N. Y/N, meet Prince Aegon Targaryen, he is the one we mentioned, he will live with us from now on."

"Lovely to meet you, My Prince." of course you heard about his reputation before his arrival, even your mother warned you about him, so you kept your distance.

Didn't help that he was handsome and the smirk on his face didn't help one bit.

But you saw his eyes. The same eyes a wolf would have who got caught in a trap, scared, confused and hurt, yet still ready to fight for its life.

Your interaction with the Prince was limited. This was thanks to your mother and the fact that he didn't seem to like to leave his chambers.

You did see him from time to time during dinners, but your first real interaction with him, came when you were alone a couple days after.

You were in the gardens as per usual, you asked your maids to bring more food for the animals as you were arranging the buckets and the place. You grabbed a bucket and headed for the well to grab water.

As you were carrying it back is when you noticed Aegon standing there, looking around as if he has never seen anything like this before.

You walked back and poured the water into the tub you had out for the animals. The Prince looked beyond confused.

"We feed the animals of the forest."

"You do?"

"Yes, I quite like them, they are great company."

"And you carry the water? Not your knights?" he finally looked at you.

"Of course I do. They are too busy doing other things. I can handle small buckets, you could help me, Prince Aegon, unless you are too weak." you teased and he caught onto the bait.

He wasn't weak and you knew that. But you needed help with the water. Servants soon arrived back with plates full of vegetables and fruits.

"Don't move." you said to Aegon who listened. You knelt down and put down some carrots as bunnies started to appear from behind him. "They get easily frightened but they are brave creatures." you said as then a deer appeared to his right, making him jump a little as it pushed him a little. You laughed a little.

"You do feed them..." he said the obivous as you gave an apple to the deer.

"Feed them, help them if they are hurt. Oh, Aegon's here!" the Prince looked at your excited face before you pointed behind him. "I named him Aegon, after you." Aegon turned and saw a deer, antlers missing, one of his legs bandaged. "He hurt his leg and he is thin, he is very much like you, so I named him after you." Aegon watched as the deer slowly walked closer to you, you mirrored the animal as you held out your hand.
