You watched in the training yards as Jace, Luke, and Joffery assisted in Aeron's sword fighting. They were getting rough but you honestly thought no harm would come to him, though you were sure to keep your eye on him, the wood smashed repeatedly and Aeron fell a couple of times. Nothing bad but it made you want to stop everything, Aemond walked up behind you and saw the nervousness that coated your body. He placed a hand on your shoulder

"They're being too rough," you hissed anxiously as your long nails scratched at your collarbone

"He'll need to get a few scrapes to learn," Aemond said taking your hand

"Your right," you said

Aemond sat down beside you

"don't you have a small council meeting today?" you asked

"Yes," he said

"Then why aren't you at this meeting?" you said

"Because you'll break skin with how hard you're scratching yourself," He told you

You smiled before a cry shot through the air and your neck snapped in the direction of the sound, You looked over the banister as you stood. Aeron holding his head on the ground, a tear did not leave his eye. The scene was all too familiar to you and you rushed down as quickly as humanly possible Aeron looked up at you as he grabbed onto your dress, the look on Aemond's face was terrifying

"Aeron, let me see," you told, "let me see"

He lifted his hand and blood coated his hair, you looked up, to see Aemond already scolding them harshly, you could hear, "He could've lost an eye".

"Ser Alard take him to a maester," You said helping Aeron to his feet

Jace looked at you and could see the protective motherly rage in your eyes, a stare so sharp it could cut a man's throat, Luke looked more afraid of you than Aemond, and Joffery was slowly slinking away

"I told you to be careful, make sure no one gets seriously hurt and I look away for 2seconds and my son is bleeding from the head," you told

"We were just-" Jace tried

"Do you not understand how dangerous that is?" you interrupted

Jace was shrinking into himself with every word you said

"You should know better," you said grabbing his shoulder, "I'm disappointed in you."

He could see the scene where his uncle lost his eye reflected in yours. He could see the tear forming in the corners of your eyes, you let go of him before turning to go after Aeron. Aemond smacked Jace on the back of his head before leaving
_________

"Excuse my tardiness," Aemond spoke walking idly into the small council room

"well the meeting is almost over," Rhaenrya said annoyed

"yes, well my son was hurt and I had to deal with the perpetrators. So again, excuse my tardiness," Aemond said sitting down
_______

"Mother please, I'm fine," Aeron said

"You are bleeding from the head, you are not fine," you spoke

He sighs and you smile slightly at him

"Please don't be mad at them, it's not their fault I got sloppy," he says

"Fine," you sighed and stood up, "just be careful next time"

"Yes, Mother."

You placed a hand on his face and rubbed your thumb against his cheek, he smiled at you.

"Could you tell me about grandsire?" he asked

"King Viserys the peaceful?" you said sitting beside him

"No, Ser Vaemond Velaryon," he said

Air caught in your throat, you hadn't spoken a word about him for a long time

"My father was a strong and a great fighter, he taught me how to use a sword, and he had a horrible temper," you said with a small laugh that was quelled as the memory of his horrifying death crossed your memory

You'd spare him details and not even speak the name of who killed him in fear of spoiling his relationship with Daemon. Aeron rested his head on your shoulder comfortingly as you continued to tell stories about him

"He is not with us so all we can do is remember him," you told

Aaron smiles slightly and you placed a kiss on his bandaged skull before standing up

"Now my sweet child, I'm sure lunch of some sort is prepared you can go and get some if you'd like," you said

He nodded and you gave him a small smile before leaving his chambers

You walked along the halls and past the empty small council room, you could help but wonder what went on in that room. The red keep soon began to bore you once more, nothing fun nor interesting had happened only things that fill you with worry.

"Y/n," you hear from behind you

"Mm?" you hummed turning to the person, "Lord Corlys."

"How has Kings Landing been treating you?" he asked

"Pretty well, How's Driftmark?" you asked

He said, "Driftmark is well taken care of"

You both started walking as you talked about everything and nothing, you loved your uncle dearly and knew Driftmark would have a new Lord soon, this sadden you deeply. You'd be losing the only living remembrance of your father, Corlys knew you felt this way it was shown on your face whenever he's see you.

"Y/n, come to Driftmark," he said

"I will," you smiled

He smiled back at you before letting go of your arm, "See you in Driftmark," he said kissing your forehead

He walked away and you made your way around the castle, to the gardens, and the shore. You sat at the shore, your eyes closed, and listening to the crashing waves. Your fingers braided your sliver curls as you thought, of everything. Your son, your unborn daughter, your husband, even your life. You hummed a melancholic tune, the ice-cold water soaked into the fabric of your dress as it came up the shore.

"The tide is coming in," Aemond said from behind you

"I know," You told him

He moved to sit beside you, "I wish to tell you a secret," he says his hand around your shoulder

"Go on,"

He leaned into you and licked his lips before speaking, "I've yearned for you every day of our marriage and before."

"Have you no honor, sweet husband," you said turning your head to look at him

your lips meer inches apart he speaks, "I only have a few strands left, and your presence seduces me,"

you smiled and his lips press a loving kiss onto your lips

"I would defile you on this beach without a second thought, but I want you to keep your honor," he said against your lips

"you truly have no shame," you said

He kissed again and you splashed water at him, "enough," you told crossing your arms and standing up

He stood with a smile while standing up, he grabbed your hand and started pulling you back to the castle

"The tide is coming in"

"you told me"
