Rich Man / Tyland Lannister / Aislynn Hightower

42. Scars are Sexy

"Father Im so glad you are back, I dont think I said it enough. This is great." AIslynn assured. 

"I'm glad to be back." Otto agreed. "What is the state of the capital, truly, Tyland?"

"The queen and princess never agree, having Rhaenyra gone at dragonstone should help us make more progress, she fights every little thing ALicent and I say." Tyland remarked. 

"OF course she does." Otto rolled his eyes. 

"Father has never liked RHaenyra." Aislynn agreed. 

"I'm going to bed, Aemma.'' Viserys remarked and Alicent stared at him a moment.

''Shall I see after Queen Alicent, Your Grace?'' ser Harrold asked, making sure to annunciate Alicent.

''No, Ser Harrold. You have the night's watch, Ser Criston.'' Viserys told him

''Yes, Lord Commander.'' Criston agreed.

"Aem- who?" Aislynn sassed glaring back at Viserys.

''Laenor has been restless for years, but now, he will be useless. Or worse. I know better than anyone that our marriage is a farce. But I at least make the effort to maintain appearances.'' Rhaenyra confided in Daemon.

"You have more to lose.'' Daemon reminded her. If he couldnt have Aislynn, she was clearly in love with her husband, what a bod. Daemon would settle for another, his cock was deprived.

''Yes, well, that has been my lot since my father named me heir. We did try... to conceive a child. We performed our duty as best we could. But to no avail.'' Rhaenyra told him trying to make better of a bad situation. ''There was no joy in it. I found that elsewhere.'' Daemon smirked. ''It felt good to be desired.''

''Hm. I understand Ser Harwin was quite... devoted to you.'' Daemon offered.

''Yes, he was. And I trusted him.'' Rhaenyra agreed.  "I should've forbidden Ser Harwin from returning to the River lands. Harren's curse is said to be as strong now as it was after the Conquest.'' Rhaenyra remarked as her heels dug into the sand.

''That's a ghost story, one Ser Otto and the Queen would gladly exploit.'' Daemon corrected

''I do not believe Alicent capable of cold murder.'' Rhaenyra told him with confidence. "Aislynn though, I wouldnt put it past her."

"I was thinking..." AIlsynn remarked as she lay down in bed that night, Tytos snored slightly in the crib in their room. 

"Another child?" Tyland questioned. 

"What? No. Where did you get that idea from?" Aislynn laughed back. Tyland shrugged. "I was thinking about babies though, but grandbabies." 

"No dont tell me TItus got some girl knocked up?" Tyland demanded. 

"No, no but the boys are starting to like girls now and... well what if we tried to help them find a proper match?" Aislynn questioned. 

"I thought you wanted to let them find love?" Tyland countered. "Like you and I." 

"Yes I do." Aislynn agreed. "But I also dont want them being regulars at the streets of silk." AIlsynn countered, Tyland chuckled. 

"Mama, mama!" Amelia declared.

"What's wrong what happened?" Aislynn looked her over nervous that she had gotten hurt.

"Jace and Luke were running out, they had a blade... those girls thats mum died I think were with them." Amelia declared. "Hela saw them out her window, said Aemond wasnt in his bed either!"
