Hearts In Opposition//Aegon ii Targaryen

Chapter 2

Rhaenyra's POV
*After the argument*
"Leanor I do not know what should we do about our daughter. She has gone mental." I told him and He shook his head
"Do not worry about her. Aemma is just going through changes."
"Yes, I know but I fear that she will make the same mistakes I did, when I was a bit older than her." I said concered
"We won't let that happen." Leanor tried to calm me down
"Oh really? I think we already did. You know what happened at the practice-" He cut me off
"Yes, I know. You told me five times already but that is just meaningless play between the two of you."
"If you say so..."

Aemma's POV
A month had passed since we went to Dragonstone. It's peaceful, not like the King's Landing. It isn't so bad, but at first, it was awful. I'm at least with my dragon" flying all day. And the best thing is that the Hightowers aren't here. Neither Aemond nor Aegon are here to compete with us and constantly remind us that we are bastards. I haven't stopped thinking abou what Aegon did, even though it all happened a month ago. I still feel butterflies down my stomach every time I think of it. 

It was dinner time, so I went to the dining room after my flight with Gaelithox. I sat in between Luce and Jace.
"Aemma, you smell like dragon again. I told you to emphasize studies, especially on your High Valerian." Rheanyra said strictly
"I would very much prefer practice with swords. A future queen should know how to protect herself and the people she loves." I said
"Very well then. You'll have your lessons." She said
"Um, kids, I have to tell you something. It's about ser Harwin Strong." She added
We waited for her to say something
"There was fire in Harrenhal, a very big one. A-and ser Harwin didn't survive." Mum explained
It was pure shock. I didn't expect that. He was like a second father to me. Jace just got up and went to his room. Luce following him.
"Where's father?" I asked, trying hard not to cry
"Yes, I forgot. There is one more thing I didn't mention. Your aunt Leana died last night. She was giving birth and was in great pain and ordered her dragon to kill her." Mum said
"That's why your father isn't here. He needs some time alone." She added
"We're flying to King's landing tomorrow. To pay respect to your aunt." 

"I can also assure you that you won't marry Aegon as Alicent declined my propose." That's the last thing she said before we both retired to our chambers

The next day, we fled to Kings landing for Leana's funeral. We didn't know her, but our father was really close to her. It was a ceremony. For her funeral and she was put in a stone coffin and buried in the ocean in the old Valyrian tradition. My father cried the whole time, and I can't blame him. She was his sister. His other half. I don't imagine what great pain I would be if I lose my brothers, especially Jace.
"Why do we have to be here. We didn't even know her. We should be at ser Harwin Strong's funeral." Jace said quietly to mother
"Because ser Harwin isn't family. And aunt Leana is." She told him

After the funeral, mother told us we were going to sleep in the castle for a few days. She then disappeared somewhere.

Aegon's POV
Me and Aemond watched Heleana as she was talking to a spider.
"We have nothing in common." I said, sipping from my wine
"She's our sister." Aemond said defensively
"It's good that you'll marry her then." I said, annoyed
"I will perform my duty." I said
"Good for you then, because I much more prefer our niece. Aemma. Oh, how good she could scream my name." I said, eyeing her from afar. Aemond only rolled his eyes.

Aemma's POV
I found Heleana and kneeled next to her.
"Hey, how are you?" I asked her, and she hugged me
"Good. And you? How's in Driftmark. I've heard the weather there is usually rainy." She asked sweetly
"Oh, I'm good. It's alright there." I answered
"Oh, hello there." Aegon said smirking
"Hello uncles." I replied and Aemond nodded. I then left not wanting to see Aegon the things that happened.

I went to Baela and Rhaena.
"I'm sorry for your loss. I know we haven't seen each other before but we are cousins and we should look after each other. I didn't know your mother, but I'm sure she was a great person and an even greater mother." I said and hugged them both
"Thank you." They said and the same time.
I walked around a bit more, talked to grandmother Rhaenys and grandsire Corlys.

I decided to go to the beach for a bit and went down the stairs, when I tripped on something and fell to the ground. I turned around only to see the thing was actually a person, and it was Aegon.
"Aegon? What in the seven hells are you doing here?" I asked him
"Isn't it obvious? Drinking wine until I pass out." Aegon answered a bit of sadness in his voice
"And why is that?"
"Because I am a useless prick."
"Don't be so harsh on yourself." I said, not realising that we were sitting next to each other talking like good old friends
"You've called me that many times."
"Yes, because you were an actual prick to me and my family."
"Nothing matters anyway." He said, drinking the rest of his cup. I took it away from him and the bottle and threw them away.
"Hey!" He whined like a baby
Otto Hightower then came out of nowhere. He greeted me, then kicked Aegon in the foot, grabbing him by the collar of his shirt and walking away with him. Well, that was too harsh. I then went to bed alongside my brothers.
