The next morning, Aemond and I had decided we would tell our parents how we felt about each other so we could discuss a marriage.

I couldn't help but laugh as Aemond grabbed my hand and pulled me into his chest. " Don't run so quickly from me, sister. I want to devour you before we speak to the King and Queen.". " Aemond, you can not say these things so publicly.". Aemond pinned me against the wall in the corridor. " I don't care who hears me, I want to make you scream my name, and this time, I'll make the entire Kingdom hear it.".

Aemond blocked my escape by pressing his hands against the brick wall on either side of my head. A smirk on his face as he leaned forward and devoured my lips, his body completely covering mine as his hands grabbed my waist tight.

" Well, well, well, I never pictured you as such an affectionate person, brother. What maid servant or whore have you hidden with your body?". Aemond turned his head and glared at Aegon " That is none of your concern now leave us be.". " You have me intrigued Aemond. What woman has stolen your heart?" Aegon pushed Aemond back and froze with wide eyes as he saw me stand in front of Aemond.

" Our little sister, you really are a Targaryen brother," Aegon smirked. " Visenya is the better sister after all," Aegon smirked as he leaned in close, I could smell the wine on his tongue. " Well, as the oldest, shouldn't I get a turn as well?" ," Touch her, and I'll rip out your throat," Aemond barked at Aegon. Aegon turned to Aemond with a smirk " Have you fucked her yet?" " That is none of your business" " Is she good? I always imagined Visenya would be incredible in bed. Hopefully, more so than Heleana is.".

" One more word, and I'll take your tongue."  Aemond threatened Aegon. " Come now, brother, we Targaryens share our brides. I'll let you bed, Heleana, for a taste of Visenya." Aegon smirked.

" You speak another word, and I will burn you alive," I spat, staring straight at Aegon. " You don't like when I flirt with you, sister?" ," That isn't flirting, Aegon. You are a drunken mess who wants to be satisfied by someone you can't have. As I said before, when we were children. I will never bed you, not willingly. And I very much doubt you'd have the strength to force me.".

" You think I would force you?", " I think you've wanted to bed me for a while, Aegon. However you are married to Heleana and mother would never approve of you fucking your sister who isn't your wife.". " You've already bed Aemond, who's to say I can't blackmail you into bedding me.". " You aren't the type to do that Aegon. You may act tough, but I can see behind that facade and see the broken little boy behind your eyes.

The boy who makes you drink away the pain of never feeling loved or appreciated your whole life. Now, are you going to ask me to bed again, or can we move on with this conversation? We both know whether this becomes a battle of strength or wits you will not win.".

Aegon stepped back and smiled. " You always were the sharp, tongued one, sister. I'm glad that skill has not yet been wasted on you.". I smiled at Aegon. " I'm glad my elder brother can appreciate the skills I have to offer.".

The three of us made our way into the dining room where Heleana and mother were speaking to one another, waiting for us to join them for breakfast. " You are late," Mother snapped at us. " My apologies, Mother, we were lost in conversation.".

We all ate silently for a while before Aemond cleared his throat. " Will Father be joining us?" ," No, he is not feeling well, so the maester has put him on bed rest for a few days.". " Mother, I wish to arrange a marriage.". Mother froze before raising her head to meet her sons eye. " You want me to arrange a marriage for you? I thought you refused marriage?".

" I already have my bride picked out. All I need is your blessing along with Father's.". Mother smiled. " This is wonderful news Aemond, tell me who this woman is?". Aemond smiled as he turned to me and took my hand in his, raising my hand to his lips as he pressed a genlt kiss to my knuckles.

" Visenya.". Mother's joyful face fell to shock. " You wish to marry Visenya?" " Yes, she is the woman I spend all my hours with. She is the only woman who has ever made me feel this wonderful and happy. I choose Visenya.". " Aemond, you can not marry Visenya." " Why not?". Aemond asked, turning to our mother in anger.

" This was meant to be a surprise" Mother sighed. " The King is throwing Visenya a tournament for your nane day, where the winner of this tournament will be the one to take her hand in marriage.". My whole face fell. " What?". Mother sighed as all four of us stared at her. " The King never wanted Aegon and Heleana to wed. He wanted Aegon and Visenya to marry, but I wouldn't allow you to marry so young, and your father didn't want Aegon waiting around for you to come of age.

So we made the agreement that Aegon would marry Heleana and when Visenya came of age. Your father would decide if she would become Aegons' second bride or if she would marry another. The tournament is happening to see if your father chooses another man. If not, you will marry Aegon and be his second wife, like your ancestors.".

" I'm not my ancestor, I should have a choice in whom I wed.". " You are a woman. You have no voice here.". My eyes widened at mothers' words. " We will speak no more of this. You will marry Aegon or whomever wins the tournament that is not up for discussion.". " So I am to be sold off, and I can't say a word of it?". " No!" Mother yelled." You are a princess. You are here to bring your father,your house, and your Kingdom heirs and bonds between houses.".

" Aemond and I have bed one another." I spat." He has taken my purity, and I have nothing to offer any man. I am a used body.". Mother covered her face before slamming her fists against the table. " You were stupid enough to spread your legs before thinking of the consequences of your actions! You are a princess you're entirely being is to stay pure and pretty so your father can bring in new allies to his side!.".

" I refuse to be a pawn in this game. You all play so patheticly.". " You have no choice, Visenya. You will be married one way or another, but it will not be to Aemond. The King and I will find him a bride after you are married.". " You won't take her from me," Aemond spat, glaring at our mother. " She will be taken Aemond, whether it's halfway across the country or into Aegons bed. She will be taken.".

Mother sighed and rubbed her forehead. " All of you go, I can not look at you. Our guests will be arriving soon, you must be prepared Visenya. You must look perfect, like a Targaryen should."
