  After eating lunch with her siblings Visera returned to the throne room. Lord after Lord tried to sweet talk her, but what all they said went in one ear and out the other.

Her mind was occupied by what happened in the gardens, the moment with Aemond. Visera knew something had changed between them, she would often look at him longer than she should, or wanted to be near him. Though she didn't understand it.

After Visera pulled her hand away they all were silent, until Helena had started asking Visera about her suitors noticing the awkwardness. Not soon after they all went their separate ways. She had not seen or spoke to Aemond since, and that had been hours ago.

" Lord Cregan Stark, princess." Ser Gerald called out causing Visera to lose her thoughts.

" Future lord of Winterfell, my princess." Cregan said bowing his head in respect.

She took time to examine the young Stark, he looked to be her age, he had a cocky grin on his face, his dark eyes were doing the same as hers.

" it's a pleasure to meet you my lord." She replied with a smile, he was quite good looking.

With a nod from Ser Gerald,Cregan took back his place in the crowd. He looked down at the list before looking to Visera.

"Gilbert Blackwood." Visera watched as another younger man walks forward, his hair curled, his bright blue eyes shined in the light, making Visera smile.

" Princess" he said while he bowed his head. "my lord" she replied with a smile. " I have awaited this day for years, princess." He replied making her smile and her cheek to go red. " well it is a pleasure to meet you, lord." She said trying to hide the blush that was getting redder by the second.

He bowed his head again before taking a step back to his place. Smiling at the red haired princess as he did.

" Ser Richard Tully." Another young man stepped forward, his black hair fell below his shoulders, his sharp jaw line looked like it could cut, he was handsome.

" good evening my lord." She said while crossing her leg over the other. " good evening princess." He said with a bow of his head.

They shared a glance and a smile, before he took his place back in the crowd.

But her good mood had been ruined when another old lord stepped forward.































" how is it going my dear." Alicent asked her daughter as the king, herself and the princess sat in the council room. " it's going well, mother." She paused before continuing " I believe I have narrowed it down to five." She explained to her parents.

They both smiled at her " that is great!." The king said before Alicent added," and who are the five."

"Lord Cregan Stark."

" Ser Lucian Tyrell."

"Ser Richard Tully."

"Lord Gilbert Blackwood."

"Ser Edmund Greyjoy."

As Visera listed of the names of the men she chose, her mother knew she could not let her daughter go through what she did. She would not.

" why them, sweet girl?" The king asked surprising Visera and Alicent, he never showed any kind of affection to her or his other children. Except for Rhaenyra of course.

Visera knew she could not come out and say 'because they're not old and fat.' So she stuck with the first thing that popped in her head.
" because they showed kindness, humor and I'd like to get to know them more."

With a nod Viserys smiled and looked to one of the king's guard in the room. " tell the other lords to ready their things, they will be leaving in the morning."

While the king was doing so she caught sight of her mother's glance on her, but didn't have time to think on it for the king began speaking.
" I am sure your tired Visera, go rest."

When Visera made it to her chambers, she fell asleep as soon as her head hit her pillow.

Unlike her brothers, Visera didn't really care for claiming a dragon. She really didn't want to go near them, she saw them as dangerous, and so she never bothered. Which is why she woke up confused, as her dreams were filled of her claiming one.

As if they knew she was awake a knock was heard from the door, she looked to the window to see it still dark meaning it was still night.

She grabbed a dress and threw it on quickly before rushing to the door, and opening it.

" Aemond? Are you alright?" She asked noticing his heavy breathing and swollen eyes. She opened the door allowing him to come in.

"I had a dream... uhm." He said stopping himself in the middle of the room.

He hadn't met her gaze yet, which worried her. She closed the door, making her way to stand in front of the silver haired prince.

" do you want to talk about it?" He had finally met her gaze but when he did he broke into sobs. Visera rushed forward grabbing him as they collapse to the floor.

After Aemond had lost his eye he would show up at Visera's door claiming he had a nightmare, but Visera had never saw one as worse than this.

" you d-died and I couldn't d-do anything." Aemond had never let anyone see him this vulnerable except Visera. She shush him while rocking him back in forth. " I'm here."

She looked down at him and grabbed his face "look at me." He did, tears still streaming down his face. " I'm okay, I'm not going anywhere." She said while wiping his tears being careful not to touch his scar.

She sat there holding him for a few more minutes, letting him finish his breakdown before standing up and heading to the bed.

Aemond laid on her bed while she grabbed a book from the bookshelf. She would often read him to sleep and play with his hair after his nightmares.

" Aegon's Conquest?" Visera asked sitting next to Aemond after lighting a few candles. He nodded his head, it had always been his favorite.

After Aemond fell asleep Visera quietly put the book away before laying beside him. She looked over at Aemond who looked so peaceful.

And before she drifted off to sleep, she could've swore she saw a small smirk on his lips.
