Unfortunately, when the two princes and princess were revealed to be so close, the first thought was to bring them to their separate chambers. But Viserys would not allow them to be woken.

"They are tired. Get the princes."

Cole gently carried Valyria to her bedroom and placed her on the bed. She hummed quietly as she slept, and he closed the door. The princes were put in their bedrooms, and they all dreamt.

But, as there were no guards at their doors, the princess woke and walked from her room. She stumbled through the hallway, trying to get to Helaena's room. But she was so tired, she accidentally went to Aemond's.

She opened the door and just collapsed on the chaise, not even bothering to find the owner of the room.

Hours passed, and they woke at midday. Aegon ventured out of his bedroom first. The castle was so quiet, and it almost shocked him. He knocked on Valyria's door, but when she didn't answer, he realized that she was most likely asleep.

He then went to Aemond's, but he didn't care if he was asleep or not. He opened the door and then saw a peculiar sight.

Aemond was not the peculiar sight. He was sleeping soundly on the bed. Valyria was. She was lying on the chaise looking perfectly at peace.

He was tempted to let them sleep as they were, but he knew that his mother would have a tantrum if the princess was found in Aemond's room. So, Aegon took advantage of the opportunity.

He put his arms under her legs and arms, then gently held her in a bridal hold. She shifted, then nuzzled into his chest. He felt an explosion of feelings come from the spot she touched, but ignored them.

He went into her room and placed her on the bed gently. As he did, he could see the small crease between her eyebrows. She was concerned.

It made him chuckle. Even in her dreams, she worried. 

He didn't want to be caught in a compromising position, so he walked out and closed the door swiftly yet quietly.

When Valyria walked into the dining room for supper that night, she was still tired. But not physically—mentally. She had been stretched thin and now she was burnt out.

"Valyria. I have spectacular news," Viserys announced as she took her place between Aegon and Aemond. Aegon poured her a glass of water, and she nodded in thanks.

"What, Grandsire?" She asked. He chuckled. "Your mother and I have spoken, and Helaena will be wedding your brother, Jacerys, after yours and Aegon's wedding." It startled Valyria, but she eventually smiled and looked at Helaena.
