Daella POV

He remembers me? Oh my seven hells, he's so beautiful. An eye patch now covers his scarred eye. I wonder if the scar healed up nice? "H..hi" why does he make me so nervous? Now he's just staring at me. 

I put my head down facing towards the deck. Aemond then lifted up my chin with his finger, "If we're to be married, we shouldn't be nervous around each other. Right?" His voice is so addicting, he's like an angel. "Y..yes you're right" I sheepishly smiled looking up at him. His eye is so beautiful, I looked closer noticing he had little blue specks littered around his eye. 

"We should go see Mother, she hasn't properly met you yet." I could listen to him all day his voice was so majestic. He completely took me by surprise and softly held my hand, like if he held too hard he might break me, or maybe he just had a soft touch. We never spoke on the walk up to the castle, there was a comfortable silence that held the air. 

It was a very short walk to the castle. Only around 5 minutes. When we arrived through the gate he let go of my hand, moving his hand to the small of my back. He guided me towards where his Mother was. His Mother held herself high, she was so confident, she suited the role as Queen consort. But I don't get good vibes from this woman, she has a hint of selfishness in her eyes. 

She finished her conversation with an old man that looked a bit like her, maybe her father? She walked towards me and brought me into a small stiff hug. "It's nice to meet you dear, soon you'll be my daughter in-law" she said with a stiff face, this woman seems so uncomfortable it's making me nervous.  "Yes that's right. For the good of the realm." I said with a small smile. The truth is Mother said I could reject the proposal, but I have a good feeling about Aemond. 

"Have you bled yet?" I actually can't believe this woman, does she just want me to squeeze out children, bitch. "Sadly the Maester said I can't have children". I said with a sad smile but Aemond saw a smirk appear on my lips for a split second. "Well then I don't see the point in marriage". Aemond let out a deep chuckle, I felt my knees go weak, this man is so attractive. I might actually be in love with everything about him. "She's kidding Mother, she bleeds around the 21st of every month." This man knows when i bleed, well this is extremely embarrassing. "Have you been deflowered then?" This woman can't joke so i'm just going to be honest. "No you can't have intercourse if you're to be a septa, so i'm still a virgin". 

--------------------------------------

After talking to Aemond's Mother she chose this 7th of March, which is a week today. Mother said that Tayla can be my hand maiden when I move to Kings Landing permanently. I'm quite upset as I've just been reunited with my mother and i'm sent away again. I was shown to my chambers, they are way bigger here, I guess that's the only pro of being here, except that god of a man. 

I heard a knock at the door assuming it's a maid I opened it without bothering to ask who it was. Aemond stood there looking at me straight in my eyes. We held eye contact for what felt like forever and then he pushed himself inside my door. My eyes went wide from shock and confusion. "huh...uh c....can i help y..you?" I asked, stuttering as he makes me extremely nervous. "If we are to be husband and wife, we better get to know each other, hm?" he asked confidence lacing his answer. He was now towering over me. 

I started to slowly retreat back but he just continued to walk towards me. Then my back hit the wall, I started to silently panic, my chest heaving up and down. The truth was though, i was enjoying him being so close to me, his scent filling my nostrils was like a drug to me.

When our bodies were softly touching, he bent his head down and his lips hovered over mine. He lightly touched our lips together, before he could connect our lips, he quickly pulled away. I felt a surge of embarrassment fill me, i looked down and silently cried inside. 

"I want to save our kiss for our wedding day, you mean a lot to me, even though we hardly know each other. I don't want my future wife treated without respect". I slowly looked up at him and smiled a little. He smirked for a quick second and wiped it off his face as quickly as it had come on. "Have a goodnight El" he said in a quiet voice.

He lifted up my right hand, butterflies immediately filling my stomach up, he planted a soft kiss on the bottom of my middle finger, and quickly walked out.

As soon as he left, i grabbed onto the bed for support. That had been the closest i had ever gotten to a man, and it was the most amazing thing ever. His smirk is everything, his eye is gorgeous, i could never get bored looking at him. 

-----------------------------

Tayla came in as soon as he left to help me get ready for bed, well she usually just watched. "OH MY SEVEN HELLS" she quietly screamed. I decided to play it cool but she saw right through it. "Fine, FINE OH MY!!! HE'S GORGEOUS!!" i also quietly screamed. 

How was i ever going to sleep tonight?
