CHAPTER FIFTEEN.
PENTOS
118 AC
VISENYA shoved clothes into a pack, fluttering around her room. Anger was mainly what she was feeling but also a bit of hurt. The door opened and she didn't bother looking up to see who it was. She already knew. They shared the room after all. Addam sighed, "What are you doing?"
"Packing."
"To go where?" Addam questioned in confusion.
"Pentos," she responded, handing him a letter from Rhaenyra. It informed her of the fact that Daemon gone from Dragonstone for at least two years with Laena Velaryon as his Lady wife. Viserys had sent an envoy to find out whether he was dead, only to come back with the news and a mass of Visenya's letters.
"Why? Why go there?"
"Because he's an ass. He hasn't responded to a letter in over a year and I thought he was off on Dragonstone ignoring them. And then I get this from Rhaenyra along with all the letters I sent, telling me he moved out to Pentos two years ago," Visenya said, snatching the letter from his hand and shoving it into her bags.
Addam took a seat on the bed and gripped her hand, "Well I can't let you go alone. I'll join you. We'll go together."
"I can't let you do that."
"I insist."
Visenya's sighed and her lips tugged into a smile. She leaned down to kiss him gently. He was probably the most caring person she'd ever met next to her mother and she loved him for it, "Well hurry, I'm leaving by daybreak."
"I'm sure we can leave a little later," he smirked, tugging her toward him. Visenya rolled her eyes as his arms wound around her waist, "Don't you believe."
The ride to Pentos was long and Addam wasn't one for long flight times. When they finally landed, Visenya herself was grateful that she no longer had to ride on Meranax. He'd become restless during their journey and even a bit grumpy.
Now that he was back on the ground, he immediately flew off to find somewhere to hole up and nap. The doors to the Keep opened and Laena exited with a flourish, "Cousin."
"Laena, my darling," Visenya hugged her. Her eyes caught Daemon's behind her back.
As they pulled back, Laena questioned, "To what do we owe the please?"
"We've been travelling, haven't we, my love?" Visenya stated, looking toward Addam with a pointed stare.
"Yes," Addam responded, though confused by the lie. Daemon rolled his eyes.
