The flight was rather silent. Y/n didn't wish to talk to Aemond and Aemond had enough of Y/n. Hate was the only thing that they felt to each other. Maybe it wasn't always like that but the past is the past. When they landed Alicent immediately greeted them. It was kind of annoying to Y/n.
"Princess Y/n, it's a pleasure to see you."
"I'm sure it is." Y/n gave Alicent a fake smile. Alicent didn't even like her so for sure it wasn't a pleasure to her.
"How was the flight?" Y/n turned to Phoenix and hugged him. He was her only ally here.
"Sōvegon, Phoenix." (fly) She gave him a space to do that. The beast obeyed Y/n's command. Y/n wondered why Phoenix always comes back. He was free and he didn't have to come back, but he did anyway.
"We would prefer your dragon to be in the Dragonpit." Y/n turned to Alicent. She won't let them to do that to him. He was free and she won't take that from him.
"Ivestragon aōha muña bona, zaldrīzes buzdari iksos daor." (Tell your mother that a dragon is not a slave)
"Daor. Why won't you tell her?" Y/n rolled her eyes. He didn't speak in high valyrian because he couldn't or because he didn't want to?
"Tell me what?" Alicent asked confused.
"I love your dress, it's beautiful." Y/n gave Aemond a deathstare.
"Well, thank you. My son is half Hightower so I'm sure it would be great for you to wear green. Servants are already preparing dinner. Y/n, do you have something to wear?" Y/n bite her tongue. She won't honor house Hightower.
"Of course."
"Aemond, take Y/n to he-"
"I know where my chamber is, it's my home." Y/n interrupted Alicent. The queen was clearly annoyed.
"You haven't been here for years so I'm not sure if you can call this place home."
"You're right. It's more like church now."
Y/n left Alicent and Aemond. She easily found her chamber, nothing has changed. She threw a few dresses on the bed. Y/n didn't know if she wants to look good or just okay. She decided that no matter what she will look gorgeous. Y/n always took time to properly represent her house, even in such thing as dressing. She always wears red even her armors are red. Y/n was proud of House Targaryen. Finally, she chose the perfect dress for tonight. She wore golden earings to match. Y/n fixed her hair and waited. Soon enough of the King's servants came for her and led her to the dining room. Everyone were already there. Y/n noticed Otto and her mood immediately changed. "My King." She bowed.
"Y/n, sit in front of Aemond." Alicent said.
Y/n clenched her jaw, she did not want to do such thing. However, she sat next to Aegon and in front of Aemond. "Shall we pray?" Y/n didn't even try to hide her laugh. It was funny because this place really started to feel like a church.
"Yes." Viserys answered. They all started to pray with Alicent... All expect Y/n. She was looking straight at Aemond, who suddenly opened his eyes. He looked into Y/n's eyes. He hated to admit it but they were as beautiful as Y/n was. The dress fit her perfectly. Aemond even regretted that her personality was so awful. When Alicent finished the prayer Viserys stood up. "We are here to celebrate the return of my granddaughter, Y/n. Many years passed but she finally came back. Let's hope that she will stay for long."
"She will. Now Y/n and Aemond are betrothed." Otto said. Y/n had to stop herself from saying something.
"Yes." Viserys smiled. "Another reason to celebrate. A toast for Y/n and Aemond, I hope this marriage will be a new beginning to house Targaryen." Everyone drank to that. Y/n felt bad because even Viserys wanted this marriage as an alliance.
"Their children will strengthen the line. Another dragonriders, soon enough there will be an army." Otto started. Y/n raised her eyebrows.
"What children?" Y/n couldn't stand looking at Aemond and Otto expected her to sleep with him?
"The ones that you and Aemond will make soon." He said like it was an obious thing... It wasn't.
"After my dead body."
"I can arrange that." Aemond answered.
"You can kill me but you can be sure as hell that you will burn with me." She could feel the fire burning inside.
"Y/n, Aemond." Viserys wanted them to stop. He wanted a peaceful dinner.
"I doubt that you will drag me with you when your head will be separated from your body. Maybe you will raise children who will not be mine. Apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Made in bro-" Y/n threw her dagger at Aemond. It stuck in his arm.
"Don't even try."
"Aemond!" Alicent ran to her son. She didn't pull out the dagger. "Someone go for the masters! Now! Are you okay?"
"I will make you suffer for it." Y/n stood up and rushed towards him but a guard stopped her.
"Y/n! Aemond! Both of you stop it right now!" Viserys was furious.
"Maybe we should break this betrothal?"
"My dear wife, problems are relationship are common thing." Viserys turned his head to Y/n. "He is your betrothed Y/n! No matter if it's by your choice! We're family, stop acting like he is your enemy! And you..." He walked to Aemond. "What did you do to her? "
"I did nothing to her. She is mad." Y/n looked at Viserys standing in front of sitting Aemond. She got flasbacks from the night when Aemond lost his eye.
Y/n wasn't with her siblings when the fight happened, she was training. As soon as she heard what happened she rushed to check on her brothers. They didn't have serious injuries. The girl looked at Aemond. He was covering his eye with his hand, his face was covered with blood. Y/n didn't fear blood she saw it many times but looking at Aemond covered in his own blood was somehow scary. Y/n regretted that she wasn't there to prevent this fight. She cared about her brothers and new sisters but she also cared about Aemond. He was her best friend... Well, not anymore
Y/n came back to reality. Masters were taking care of Aemond.
"You better treat her right. If I found out that you behaved badly towards her..." He didn't finish but Aemond understood.
"Viserys, stop it. The girl hurt our son, your son. Why instead of accusing her you accuse him?" Viserys sighed.
"Y/n we will have to talk." A young woman looked at her grandfather. He was clearly tired because of disease and now he had to deal with family drama.
"Right now?"
"I'm too tired, I'm going to my chambers. Come to me tomorrow when you wake up."
"Do you need help?" Viserys shook his head and walked out of the room.
"I can't let my son marry that girl." Alicent spoke. Otto walked to her slowly.
"Give it a chance. Eventually she will lose her temper. Maybe motherhood will make her better?" Alicent nodded. Y/n was furious. She came back to her chamber and tore her dress apart but it wasn't enough to calm her down. Y/n broke the vase and two cups. All she could think about was the hate to the Hightowers. Knowing that nothing will help she changed her clothes and went to find Phoenix. She could go to train but she didn't want to meet anyone. She called for Phoenix many times but he didn't appear. Y/n felt uneasy, he always comes back then why didn't he do it now? Could he escape? Was living with her so bad? Was she so bad?
A/n: I'm still sick and chapters will be shorter until I recover. I hope it will be soon. Thank you all for reading and voting it means a world to me <3
