The Death of War

Chapter 49

A little glimpse in how things are going between Visenya and Aemond in their honeymoon. I hope you guys like it 🥰

1.5 months later.

Their travels had been very exciting and they had seen so much. The first city they visited was Mantarys, which had been strange to see. The city had been founded by the Valyrian Freehold. Visenya had heard that the city was populated by monsters, but when she and Aemond arrived they had found the city was inhabited. The city was on the North tip of the Sea of Sighs and was near the painted mountains. They had stayed on Mantarys for only one day, not wanting to push their luck. Then they had traveled to Volantis, which Visenya and Aemond absolutely loved. They had seen the Black Wall and they had visited the temples.

Visenya loved the temple dedicated to the Valyrian gods, she and Aemond had been welcomed like they were sent by the gods themselves. The priests had asked them hundreds of questions, wanting to know about the appearance Arrax had made. All the priests and priestesses had wished to meet her and Aemond, the gods' chosen as they called them. They ended up staying in Volantis for three weeks and visited the Valyrian temple almost every day. The priests and priestesses had been more than happy to teach them some of the rituals used to worship their gods. The one thing she had not liked about Volantis was the slaves, she had seen the way they were treated and she had not been happy with it.

After Volantis they had gone to Qohor, known as the city of Sorcerers. It was a very beautiful city and their high lords had been more than happy to allow two dragon lords to stay. They had even provided them with a mansion on the outskirts of the city and left them alone for the most part. Aemond had been very excited, telling her that Qohorik forges had no equal. Visenya had not been sure what he meant until she saw some of the armor they made. They infused the metal with colors, which made them striking and dramatic. They were the only people who still possessed the knowledge to rework Valyrian steel. Aemond had loved all the armor and Visenya had come up with an idea.

"Princess." One of the maids who had been helping them entered the solar and bowed. "There is a man here to see you, he says he has what you requested."

"Thank you, have him enter."

The maid left and Visenya immediately moved to the smaller chest on the table, taking one of the small leather pouches filled with gold, and waited for the man. When he entered he immediately put down a large chest and gave her a smile. She nodded at the man and he opened the chest, allowing her to see what she had asked for. She was very pleased and paid the man what they had agreed on. The man gave her a small bow before leaving and she immediately went looking for her husband. She found Aemond in the courtyard, training with one of the guards.

"Can you rest for a moment?" A smile covered his face the moment he heard her voice and he immediately stopped. He nodded to the guard before walking over to her. "I have something I want to show you."

"Does it require us to be naked?" His tone was playful as he leaned down and kissed her.

Visenya wrapped her arms around his neck, returning the kiss with a small moan. She did not care he was all sweaty. "No, but you will love it. I promise."

"I would love it more if you were naked."

"That could be arranged."

She gave him a playful look before taking his hand and leading him towards the solar. She saw the frown on his face when he noticed the chest in the middle of the room. He gave her a questioning look, but Visenya just smiled as she gestured towards the chest and watched as he opened it. The way his eyes widened was absolutely amazing and for a moment he just stared down at the armor. She had been very detailed with her instructions and the smith had done an excellent job. The armor was a deep red color and almost looked like blood. Their house insignia was stamped on the front chest plate and the back, in a deep gold color.
