{ I am what I am 'cause you trained me }

Valyria knew something was wrong with Aemond when the day after his nameday, he did not meet her at the outdoor pavilion for their brunch with Helaena. She was anxious as she waited for him the entire time, but he did not come.

"Where is he, Helaena?" She asked the mastermind princess because she knew that Helaena would know. She knew everything.

"He is in his chambers." But that was all that Helaena would tell her. She knew that it would kill Valyria if she were the one to hear it from, and not Aemond himself.

Valryia stood and cursed propriety as she ran to Aemond's chambers, Cole following after her. She finally stopped at his door and turned to look at Cole.

"Give me ten minutes alone, please," she pleaded. He looked from side to side, then nodded, and she slipped in, then closed the door firmly behind her.

Aemond was sitting on the bed reading a book when he saw her and looked shamefully at his feet. "Valyria, lea—" But he was stunned when she stormed up to him and placed her hand under his chin. She tilted his head upwards and looked at his face.

"What are you doing?" He asked as she pulled her hand back, then planted her hands on her hips.

"I'm checking to see if Aegon left you the same as you were. Your face is fine, despite the eye, I do apologize for that, but then what? If you won't tell me then I'll check you from head to toe, Aemond," she threatened.

"I'm fine," he muttered, but he still looked away.

"Then why can't you meet my eyes? Gods, do I have to ask Aegon? I know he will tell me." He looked fearful, then finally looked at her, and she walked in disbelief as pink flushed his pale cheeks.

He couldn't bear to look at her. After seeing all of those naked women at the brothel Aegon brought him to, when he looked at her, all he could do was see them again. And it disgusted him so much that he couldn't so much as speak to her.

Valyria saw his slight grimace and put the pieces together.

"Oh, gods, he brought you to a brothel, didn't he?" She put the back of her hand on her mouth and grimaced as she gagged.

"I didn't - I didn't do anything!" Aemond was quick to say when he saw her face. She let out a sigh of relief, then anger ensued.

"I'm going to kill Aegon. I'll have Sunfyre eat him." The thought pleased Aemond momentarily, but he shook his head. "Valyria, no, I'm the one who wanted to go. But I did not participate, I just..."
