Dragon Blood

Chapter 17

After the horrible joke, Rhenys tried to talk to Aemond but he ignored her at any cost, Rhenys' heart was torn to pieces.

She thinks that Aemond was angry with her after all he had accused her of being an accomplice.

In reality is that Aemond did not want to see Rhenys because he felt shame and humiliation, his nephews and his brother humiliated him in front of her, he was embarrassed and he was full of anger for when the time for his training came he thought that there was no better way to release that frustration and anger than with the sword.

Aemond Aegon and their nephews were practicing with the sword.

"Release your knees. Light feet," advised Ser Cole. "Well, Prince Aemond, use your anger but don't lose the target.

Rhenys decided to go and observe the training, in reality, it was something she did frequently when it did not intercede in her activities, she was going to encourage and support Aemond although today it was different she just wanted Aemond to speak to her.

"Little princess," greeted Ser Harwin, putting a hand on Rhenys' shoulder and giving him a smile that was reciprocated by Rhenys.

- Now you have a new opponent, my prince, let's see if you can touch me, you and your brother - Aemond smiled at the challenge, he just needed a real challenge to show his brother and his nephews - and Rhenys who was there - that he was a real warrior, a real dragon even if he did not possess one of these beasts.

Aemond and Aegon tried to bring down Ser Criston Cole but they didn't succeed, they hit their sword against his.

"Arms up, children, don't give quarters to your enemies," Ser Harwin advised Jace and Luke who were displaced from training. Rhenys appreciated so much that Harwin taught his brothers since it was evident that Ser Criston had his concentration on the Queen's children.

So Harwin tried to teach the children to defend themselves when he had something of time but the children were small and needed a lot of training.

- It seems to me that the youngest needs more of his attention, Ser Criston - he advised but the criticism was felt in the words of the son of the Hand.

- Do you question my methods of instruction, Ser?

- I only suggest that this method be applied to all pupils.

"Jacaerys," Cole said as he dragged the prince of the clothes, "He fights with Aegon.

Rhenys opened her eyes in surprise. It wasn't a fair fight. Of course, Rhenys was angry with her brother and believed that he deserved punishment but it was not a fair fight and she didn't want her brother to get hurt.

Rhenys looked at Aemond trying to beg him to intercede, he offered to fight his brother and fulfill the promises he made not to hurt his brothers, although he also knew that it could be counterproductive since Aemond should remain angry at the joke Aemond would never do anything that would hurt Rhenys, he would never break a promise he made to her.

While Ser Cole and Ser Harwin were debating this fight, Rhenys observed the fear in her brother's eyes.

"Be Harwin, please stop this," Rhenys begged him. He only gave her a sigh.

- If something happens, I promise you that I will intercede, little princess.

That didn't reassure Rhenys.

Aegon attacked Jace without compassion, Jace didn't even have the opportunity to defend himself when he was already on the ground.

But little Prince was not going to give up so easily, he got up and attacked his uncle with everything he could but Aegon was skillful and elusive.
