her prince & his princess, aemond targaryen

Chapter 14

•••

Y/N, alongside her family, were in the Dragonpit, wearing Targaryen colors of black and red, even Alicent, who had not wore such colors in a long time, surprising most of the people.

Y/N wore a long gown that was mostly black with a few tinges of red with a bateau neckline that had sleeves that reaches her forearms. Her hair was down with small braids surrounding it. She fashioned herself with gold necklaces, rings, and bracelets. She also had gold earrings that held large red rubies that matches the red of her dress.

Y/N matched a bit with her mother's dress to symbolize that she is now the heir and first in line to inherit the throne. Aemond matched a bit with Daemon as well. The style of their suits were the same, only the patterns on the fabrics used differ between the two. A small symbolization that Aemond will follow his uncle as the Queen's Consort.

Rhaenyra walked through the huge crowd, in between the Kingsguard who held their swords up high in honor of their new queen. As she arrived at the stage, she was crowned by Daemon with her father's crown, proclaiming her as Queen of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men, Lady of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm.

Once anointed and blessed by Septon Eustace, Rhaenyra was cheered on by the small folk and her family. Y/N clapped loudly and smiled widely for her mother. She turned to look at her family who had similar expressions to her.

Y/N looked towards the Hightowers who, to her surprise, were clapping and smiling for her mother, even Otto sported a small smile on his face and a few claps for Rhaenyra.

Y/N was not surprised that Aegon was smiling widely and clapped his hands loudly. It was no secret that he did not desire the responsibility of being king. Finding happiness in living a life of luxury with not much responsibility.

"One day it will be you who will be crowned by me." Y/N hears Aemond's whisper to her from behind. She turns to look at him who was smirking. She smiles at him as she takes his hand in hers and they turned back to accompany in the joy of Rhaenyra's ascension as queen.

A grand feast was held in the Red Keep in celebration for Queen Rhaenyra's coronation. It was held in the throne room of the Red Keep. A huge long table was placed in front of the Iron Throne where the royal family were to be seated.

Rhaenyra was in the middle, Daemon to her right with her children while Y/N was to her left with Aemond and his siblings too. Alicent and Otto were both at one head of the table while Rhaenys and Corlys were on the opposite.

"My love." Aemond calls out to Y/N.

"Yes, my prince." Y/N responds as she takes a sip of her wine.

"I forgot to tell you how beautiful you look tonight. Our house's colors certainly suit you." Aemond compliments Y/N.

Y/N smiles as this. "Thank you, my prince. You look dashing tonight as well." Y/N tells Aemond, intertwining her hand with his.

Aemond smiles down upon their interlaced hands. He holds them near to his lips and gives it a small kiss. He then looks at Y/N with a smile who in return had a smile as well.

"My queen." A man suddenly says, making both Aemond and Y/N turn their heads in front to see Lord Borros Baratheon.

"Lord Borros." Rhaenyra greets the man with a nod.
