Aegon Targaryen x OC | Tempestuous

loveless

Alyssa made her way through the tunnel, candle in hand, tip toeing and trying to remain silent. Excited as she was to see King's Landing, she worried of spies and servants watching her every move. It was too late to change her gown into commoner's clothes so she went on walking through the dark passageways.

Finally she saw a light appear, getting bigger as she approached it. She sped up walking towards it and finally felt the nights breeze hit her face.

The night was well and truly alive, with small folk and nobles of every sort walking around, cheering and celebrating. The return of the heir to King's Landing was a grand affair with foods and music from every corner of Planetos present.

Walking the streets amongst the many people was a task in itself, she was constantly getting bumped into but luckily no one was able to recognise her amongst the crowds. She settled for a tavern in one of the side streets to begin her night. Alyssa had always had a taste for wines and thought what better a time to celebrate than now. She began with some dornish wine but before she could get any further she heard her name being called.

"Alyssa, Alyssa!"

She turned to see a young girl of about her age. With dark blonde hair and deep purple eyes, she almost looked Targaryen.

Alyssa was startled, sure it had been a while since she had been in King's Landing but normally she recognised familiar faces. She did recognise Aegon and Aemond straight away after all.

Alyssa looked up to better analyse the girl, "Do I know you?" She replied perplexed.

The girl smiled, "No I just recognised you, you're the princess aren't you?"

"I am, who are you?" Alyssa responded smiling.

"I'm Vaera, I'm from Pentos but I've just come to King's Landing.""

"Oh, well it's nice to meet you. I've just come here as well after years of living on Dragonstone. Who are your parents?" Alyssa questioned, something wasn't right but she could not put her finger on it. Either this girl was a spy or she was sent out to watch the princess by Larys or Alicent.

"My mother was Celine and I never knew my father. I am told he died before I was born."

Alyssa nodded, "I am sorry to hear that." Suspicion growing however, she decided to take her leave, "I believe the hour is quite late, I must get back to the Keep. But do let me know if you ever need anything. I'd be happy to help, Vaera."

The girl nodded, "Thank you, princess. I appreciate it."

Alyssa got up at once and made her way back onto the street. Pondering this experience she didn't realise that she had ended up on the street of silk.

She had heard rumours of the street and the misdoings it was home to but she had never ventured there before. Scared to run into anyone else who knew her, Alyssa walked straight into the first place she saw.

Instantly she was welcomed with the sight of exotic dancers on tables and men sitting down. Eager to go unnoticed she took a seat towards the back and watched her surroundings. She never got involved in the dancing, she would simply wait for company to find her. She took pride in remaining unencumbered by feelings of love, and instead enjoyed base pleasures that were accessible without opening up her heart. She was not really searching for anything tonight, just a getaway from the Keep which could be so encompassing and enveloping despite its size.

After a while, to edge her boredom she traversed the brothel to view the private rooms, they were small and all empty but when she approached the last one she began to hear noises. She laughed at this, half expecting it. It was a culmination of a man sighing and moaning and a woman gasping and panting. Even at a distance she could make out someone's shoulder length silver locks which were curling with sweat. She couldn't tell if it were a lady or a man but her question was soon answered as she heard the name "Aegon" muttered. She could see his back through the curtains and as much as Aegon was a common name amongst their family, there was only one Aegon this could be. Alyssa gasped in shock noticing the woman's legs tightening around his waist as he thrust into her. So this was where he had been. Suddenly hearing Alyssa's gasp Aegon turned around, Alyssa jumped hiding behind the curtain but it was too late, Aegon had spotted her.
