The baby girl was found in the gods wood. Her tiny body wrapped in a thin swaddling cloth, clinging to her delicate skin. Though her features were unmistakably not of their lineage, the king and queen took her in as one of their own. They named her...

The Targaryen family, the lords and ladies of all the different houses even the common people gathered in the garden for the feast. The newly wed stood in front of the table as people stood in a line to congratulate them.
The garden was decorated with a big long table for the Royal family and smaller tables for the other lords and ladies.
While everyone was busy Visera had picked a rose for her sister. When her sister and brother were waiting for the next people, Visera handed the rose to her with the smile and congratulated them.
" the rose grieves as the sun dies."
Visera brushed off her comment and took her seat in between Dearon and Aemond. " What was that Helena was saying?" Aemond asked finally looking at Visera. She smiled at him before turning to their sister who was greeting the Lannister's, once again Jason's eyes were on her so she quickly looked away.
" she said the rose will grieve when the sun dies." She explained with a shrug refusing to look at where the Lannister's stood.
After they had greeted everyone they started feasting, the king and the hand had to leave early to handle some issues. The Queen soon followed after one of the kings guard came to collect her.
Dearon had just told a joke that caused Visera to laugh when Ser Gerald came behind them. " Princess, your father wishes to speak to you." With a sigh Visera leaves her siblings and Ser Gerald led her towards her father.
He sat on a deck overlooking the sea with The Hand, her mother, and Jason Lannister. Deep in her heart she knew what was about to occur but she didn't wanna believe her mother would allow that.
" Your Grace." She then looked to her mother. " Your Grace." She looked to Jason but didn't look him in the eye. " My Lord" she greeted with a curtsy.
The king motioned her to sit down, which she did. Her eyes not leaving her mothers. " you wished to see me." She said gulping down the lump that had formed in her throat.
" yes dear, I wished to talk to you about your suitors." The king explained. " They didn't offer much, so myself and Lord Jason were talking." He was interrupted by a cough. " you will be married in a weeks time." Visera's eyes shifted to Alicent who would not look her in the eye.
Now was certainly not the time to announce this, she now has to return back to her siblings and pretend everything it alright.
" Father you promised I would get to pick!" She tried to argue but deep down she knew there was nothing she could do about the situation. " Enough Visera this is a done matter!"
" may I be excused, that is a lot to process." She said tears forming in her eyes. Viserys nodded his head with a sigh to which she quickly left that deck and made her way back to the feast. Before she got there she made Ser Gerald check if it was obvious she had been crying.
She sat back down with a smile but they knew something was wrong, they all looked at her before looking at each other.
" What did the King want?" Aegon asked refusing to call him father. Visera just - fake - smiled " nothing important brother."
But they all knew it was something big, they had never seen their sister this unhappy.
After the feasting was over, Aegon and Helena had their bedding ceremony. Dearon and Aemond tried to get Visera to hang out with them but she said she was tired and retired to her chambers.
She even told Florence she could handle undressing herself, she didn't mean to be rude but she wanted to be by herself.
A knock echoed through her room but she didn't get up to get it, she continued to lay in bed clutching her pillow as tears streamed down her face.
The knocking continued for a few more minutes, it started to get more rabid. So she finally sat up, wiped her eyes and answered the door.
As she opened the door Aemond was just about to start knocking again.
" Do you need something Aemond?" Aemond felt his heart pound against his ribs, as he looked over at Dearon who stood in the shadows. He was shaking his head encouragingly.
Aemond turned back to Visera and nodded. " Can we talk Rose?" She smiled at the nickname and opened the door wider to let him in. Ser Gerald shook his head at the two, but still had a smile on his face. He too knew about the truth of Visera's birth, he had been the one on guard when the Queen found her.
Ser Gerald closed the door behind them and looked at Dearon who had a wide smirk.
But on the inside they both sat in silence. Visera sat at her vanity, undoing the rest of her hair she didn't finish earlier. She looked at him through the mirror but he continued to look into the fire, the servants had started.
Finally Aemond got the courage to talk but not enough to talk about the real reason he came for. " What did father want?" She stopped what she was doing and sighed. At that Aemond looked at her and then back to the fire. " You don't have to tell me Rose."
She continued what she was doing and replied " No no it's alright you deserve to know." She sighed again and looked at him through the mirror, this time he was looking at her.
" I have to marry Jason Lannister in a weeks time, and I believe I'll have to spend the week with him." She explained as if she spoke to loud it would come quicker.
Aemond stood up and motioned for her to do the same, so she did. He pulled her to middle of the room, and stopped where the light from the setting sun shined on them.
" you can't marry him." Aemond said placing his hand on her face. She copied him but on his scarred cheek. She was the only one allowed to touch that side of his face, not even their mother was.
" Trust me I don't want to but I don't have a choice Aemond." She said look down but Aemond lifted her head with his finger.
" but you can't." Aemond paused debating if he wanted to finish his sentence. With a sigh he continued " because I love you."
