Sun and Fire ~ Aemond Targaryen

07. Birth of Joffrey Velaryon

"I must admit that you are a little right in your words... I have managed to have a dragon thanks to my brother, you are not the first one to tell me that."

"We inherited dragons from our families... that's normal."

Both children were sitting on the grass with the wind blowing in their hair, but they felt calm with their talk, Daemma little by little was forgetting the upset that happened and Aemond in spite of his typical look of few friends was also relaxed somehow.

"I have an idea" Daemma commented with a somewhat disturbing laugh.

"What?"

"An idea for you to have a dragon."

Aemond didn't really want to talk more about it but curiosity got the better of him and he watched her waiting for her answer with some intrigue.

"Kill your brother" She said in a serious voice and the boy seemed not to believe what he had heard. "Aegon is a complete idiot... I doubt that anyone would suffer for him, he is not worthy of having a dragon as great as Sunfire, he only lives to drink and says stupid things... if he dies you can claim his dragon."

"Are you telling me that what happened to your brother was not an accident and was actually a crime?"

They both laughed after a while and Aemond was shaking his head at the nonsense he was hearing from his cousin but he was certainly getting his sense of humor back.

"Think about it... it's not hard to do, we can get him a little too drunk and fly off in Sunfyre, the poor boy will have forgotten to hold on to the reins and will fly through the air" Daemma laughed as she really imagined Aegon flying through the skies without knowing what the hell was going on.

"He's flown drunk before and has always been saved... I'm afraid that won't be possible."

"What if I get a poisonous scorpion and put it in his bed?"

"You'll be the number one suspect with your sister and mother."

"You're starting to take it seriously, aren't you?"

They both smiled and after a moment Daemma looked at her cousin seriously.

"I'm joking, don't think I'm an insane kinslayer."

"I'm not."

Both children stood up and the wind ran stronger and stronger, the girl's eyes went up and noticed how the black clouds began to cover the sky.

"The sun... in this place there is almost never sun."

"You will only be here for two weeks, then you will return to Highgarden with your beloved sun."

"Two weeks... I've barely been here a day and it already looks bad" Daemma continued smiling and Aemond watched her for a moment before saying goodbye.

"I must go to study... see you later."

Without waiting for an answer the young prince left towards the castle, with hurried steps as always with his expressionless countenance, but at least he didn't look annoyed as he did a moment ago. Daemma watched him slyly until he entered and then went to her sister and her cousins, Jace and Luke, who were playing in a room entertainingly, the girl joined them to spend a fun afternoon.

While in King's Landing the weather was cloudy, the sun was shining like never before in Highgarden, there Prince Aegon was alone in his mansion, his wife was in Dorne and his daughters in the capital, all trying to distract themselves after Naemon's death. It would only be two weeks, but it was beginning to feel like an eternity, the prince did his best to keep his mind busy, reading, flying in Boasher and above all working in his vineyard, even doing unnecessary activities in order to occupy as much time as possible, while at night he could not sleep and his mind was filled with mostly negative thoughts.
