The Death of War

Chapter 7

Aemond has a little encounter with Aria and then with Visenya. He finally tells her about Lucerys. I hope you guys like it. 🥰

3 days later.

Aemond had not been able to look at Visenya or his other self in the eye since he heard them fucking. He had no idea that they would be so loud, or that he would feel the way he had. He thought he would have found it disgusting and degrading, instead he had found it arousing. The Rhaenyra from this world had found it amusing and told him that it had not been the first time. Her husband had not been as amused, his eye had twitched until Aemond was sure he would enter the chambers and attack his daughter's husband. His sister and uncle had also been shocked but did not offer an opinion.

Aemond had seen his other self and Visenya later in the day and neither of them had looked disturbed by the fact that most of the castle knew what they had been doing earlier that day. Since then Aemond had been hiding from both his other self and Visenya, like a coward.

"You brood a lot." Aemond jumped and turned around. He looked down and raised an eyebrow when he found Aria standing there looking at him. "Grandsire said that my papa used to brood a lot, and my grandmother said that he stopped brooding when he met my mama. My papa and my mama love each other a lot."

"Yes, I have been told that by several people." Aemond sat down, not wanting to hover over her. One of the few things he had learned from his niece and nephews was that children did not like when adults hovered over them. The little girl moved closer.

"Are you brooding because you do not have someone who loves you?" Aemond felt the urge to laugh. He had never met a more blunt child. "Grandsire told my papa that he would be happier if he stopped being such a miserable cunt."

"What?" Aemond's eyes widened. "How do you know that word?"

"I am not supposed to, but I was listening in." She lowered her voice and placed her hand next to her mouth. "Do not tell my papa."

"You do not like your papa?" Aemond had seen the way the little girl behaved towards her father, she was always trying to get a raise out of the man.

"Of course, I love my papa." She frowned as she sat next to him. "He is the best papa, he reads to me, plays with me, accompanies me to visit my dragon, and massages my tummy when I do not feel well."

"Then why are you always trying to make him mad?" Aemond asked, he was curious about his other self's relationship with his youngest daughter.

"I do not, is just that we do not always agree." Aemond found Aria amusing, she spoke like someone much older than her years and if he was honest she reminded him a bit of himself. "Also his face gets really red when we argue and I find that amusing."

Aemond let out a laugh, he could not help himself. He had noticed that it was true, the other man's face did get very red when he argued with the child. Aemond was a bit envious of the other man's life, he had a beautiful wife, children who loved him, and a good relationship with his sister and uncle. Even his niece and nephew seemed to care for him. While Aemond had a mother and grandsire who only saw him as a stepping stone and right now they were upset with him for what had happened with Lucerys.

"Aria!" The small girl jumped, making Aemond jump also as they both stared at the angry woman who now stood in front of them with an annoyed look on her face. "I have been looking for you, why are you not at your lessons?"

"Because they are boring." The little girl's voice said that should be the end of that specific topic. "I wanted to play and then I found him."

"Go to your lessons," Visenya ordered.
