shattered hearts

𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬

Today was the day. Velaena was to be married to aemond. All those years wondering if it was actually going to happen and now it is. And all those failed attempts her mother had on stopping the wedding were no use, it was happening whether she liked it or not.

The maids came in trying to get velaena up and ready, the ceremony was going to be in a few hours but it took a while to get ready.But she didn't want to move, she wanted a few more moments of peace being a free woman. When jace found out the wedding was so soon he refused to speak to velaena.

He couldn't believe she is '"marrying the beast who prays on our downfall". It was as if he believed she wanted this. It's as if he wanted her to go against the kings orders, it was impossible.

However Velaena was blindsided to her mothers begs and pleads. She hasn't known that her mother was in Viserys chambers the night before, offering up her crown for her freedom. Or the countless times she begged for velaena to be free.

Although she would much prefer to marry aemion, she wasn't so against the idea of marrying aemond instead. The past four days velaena and aemond spent more time getting to know each other the best they could before the wedding.

The whole idea of this marriage was to strengthen the family and in these past years they have grown further and further away from each other so she hoped these past days would help.

Velaena had been waiting desperately these past few days to see helaena, she hadn't got to see her considering she went away somewhere for a bit. Alicent didn't say where but apart from that she will be back in time for the wedding.

But before she could wander more In her mind the door swung open and there stood rhaenyra,baela, and rhaena.

That's what got velaena out of her bed, the sight of a few of her favourite people. Baela had the biggest smile plastered on her face, she loved weddings whereas rhaena wasn't very bothered.

"it's your wedding day!" Baela screamed running up to velaena hugging her. "How's the bride to be feeling?".

"I just want it to be over and done with, I'm not one for big celebrations" velaena replied back with a small smile. It was true, she did want it to be over with but at the same time she couldn't wait to be alone with aemond.

Although she was adamant she had no feelings towards aemond, every time she saw him her heart done a thing. As if it had picked up speed and was doing a million backflips. But it was nothing, right?

A few moments later Rhaenyra brought in the dress, it had all the alterations that velaena and Rhaenyra had made just a few days prior. And the dress maker done a magnificent job.

"It's beautiful" Velaena whispered holding the material in her hands. She ran her hand over all of the beautiful patters and material. "Its exactly like the drawing".

It felt too real. It was actually happening today and velaena couldn't process it. Aemond was going to be her husband. And she would be his wife.

"Go get changed velaena, then we can continue the rest of your look" nyra smiled holding her daughters cheek in her hand.

Velaena put the dress on, the material fitting all the right curves outline her beautiful body. It hugged all the right spots. It looked better than the drawing.

And for a moment all velaena did was admire herself in the mirror, she never really thought herself to be beautiful but in this dress, no one could deny it.

"Velaena cmon! I wish to see you" rhaena shouted from the other room in desperation. For someone who 'wasn't bothered' she sure seemed excited.

And when velaena emerged from the room, everyone was in amazement. Baela had the biggest smile plastered on her face, rhaena too. And rhaenyra was almost tearful, seeing her only daughter being married.
