❝A Dragon must serve❞
That's what Aemma Targaryen had been taught her whole life, they serve the Crown, the Throne, the Realm and the people. And that's what she's done her whole life, be dutiful to her family and the Realm, even through rebellions...

It had taken Robert 11 years, 4 pregnancies and 5 children, for him to actually attempt to have a good relationship with his Lady Wife. Not to mention the scar that Aemma had gifted him.
He started to try and spend time with her, tried to go out with her, their children and Lady Cersei and her children, out into the city, only to find himself getting drawn to the wines that were being sold and the many whores that he'd sunken into and had yet to sink into. There was no secret that Robert had fathered bastards on many women, women that would then avoid the wandering Queen as if she were the plague.
Women that Aemma couldn't fault or hate, women that she would oft send some money to after they gave birth to help with the babes. Aemma would never blame the women completely, not when deep down she was almost thankful to all of them for keeping her husband entertained and satisfied.
He also tried to spend time with all of his children, trying to look past their Valyrian features, but often failed at doing so, preferring the company of his eldest child, the only one that looked like him, while claiming to the others that he was teaching Edd what he would need to do once he inherited the throne.
Through out her marriage, Aemma had slowly began to attend Mass less and less, and while some people were discouraged by her actions, whispering that she'd lost her Faith, others, including the Septons, knew that Aemma was oft busy with her growing brood of children. Although Aemma would still shuffle her children into the Sept of Baelor for important Masses and celebrations.
295 AC was a slightly strange year for the residents of King's Landing because while they'd grown to expect the Queen's presence through out the city, they never expected the King to join her, as everyone knew that if the King was present so was the Kingsguard.
295 AC was also the most prosperous year under the rule of House Baratheon, with almost all of the planted crops surviving, no sickness going about and the Crown not needing to ask for any money from anyone.
Due to the surprising growing proximity between the rulling couple, it was not surprising when the news that Queen Aemma was with child once more broke through the realm, in fact almost everyone expected it. So much so that Lord Tywin Lannister organized a Tourney at Casterly Rock to congratulate the rulling couple on yet another pregnancy.
Returning to Casterly Rock since the first time that Aemma met Cersei was almost sureal. The castle was still as enchanting as it had been all those years ago, and it certainly brought back many memories. It was also the first time that the Lannister twins returned home since the rebellion.
