The Death of War

Chapter 43

Sorry guys, work was brutal and I was called in to work two of the days I was supposed to be off and didn't have time to write.

Visenya and Daemon talk and she makes clear what she wants. Visenya visits Aemond and lets him know what her plans are. I hope you guys like it 🥰

Visenya walked into her chambers and almost jumped out of her skin when she noticed her father sitting in her solar. He did not look happy, but she already knew he would not be. She had returned from the Riverlands with her uncle. She had bathed and dressed before going to see her mother and let her know she was back. Her mother had not been too happy that she had left without letting her know, but she had not been upset about Visenya going to see her uncle. Her mother had always understood her feelings for her uncle, her father was a different story. He was not happy that she wanted her uncle and even while Visenya never talked to him about her feelings for Aemond, she knew he was aware. She let out a sigh and moved closer to her father.

"I thought you were busy." She sat across from him and poured herself some water. "Mother did not say you wanted to see me."

"I want to know why you just left without telling anyone where you were going." He glared at her. "Anything could have happened to you."

"I was with Karnax, nothing was going to happen to me." Her smile was amused. "You are not upset because I left without saying anything, I have done that before. You are upset because I went to bring Aemond home."

"Yes, I am not going to lie and say that is not part of the issue." Her father gave her a knowing look. "I have seen the way you look at him and the way he looks at you and I cannot say I am entirely comfortable with it."

"Because it reminds you of you and mother?" She knew by the look in his eye that she was right, but he did not like it. "Are you going to act like my grandsire did?"

"How do you know the way your grandsire acted?"

"Muña told me." Visenya shrugged. "I asked her why if the both of you loved each other so much you had not wed since the beginning. I was curious as to why the two of you wed other people and had children with them. She explained it to me."

"Yes, your grandsire changed once he became king, part of him forgot I was his brother." She could see the hurt in her father's eyes. "He pushed me aside and exiled me several times. He hated that Rhaenyra loved me and when I asked him for her hand he said no and ordered me to leave again."

"I know, muña resents him for what he did." Her father gave her a surprised look. "She feels guilty for feeling that way about him, especially because he is dead, but there are things that she still has not been able to forgive."

"She has never told me that."

"She is not proud of it." Visenya loved her father, he was the one who was the most like her. He had encouraged her wild side, taught her how to fight, and got her instructors from the Free Cities to train her on other styles of fighting. He did not see her as less or as weak just because she was a woman. Her father had taught her to go after what she wanted and not to allow anyone to stand in her way. "I love you, Kepa, I always have and I always will. But I also love Aemond and I will not allow anyone to get between us, not even you."

Her father did not look too happy with her words, but after a few minutes, he just chuckled and shook his head. "Well, there is no denying you are my daughter."
She was glad that he was not trying to keep her away from her uncle and that he understood what she wanted. The last thing Visenya wanted was to be fighting with her parents.
