Blood Of My Blood

Familiar events

The next morrow Meya avoided Aegon during the whole day. She didn't wanna see him after the incident of him saving her. Mostly because she couldn't really believe it he had done that.Why would Aegon risk his life for her? He had ignored her most of the time and also hated her during their childhood together. Meya was completely confused of it.

***
"You look rather tired" Haelena said walking next to Meya in the gardens. "Did you get any sleep last night after the incident with that dragon?". Meya rubbed her eyes and groaned. She was truly exhausted. She was up all night thinking about the events that happened. Making it impossible for her to sleep. Especially the whole thing with Aegon.

Flashback to the night before
***
"You?..." Meya said trying to slow her breath. "Wha-what are you even doing here? How did you even know where I-I was?" She stuttered with an overwhelmed look as she saw Aegon getting up to his feet. He gave her a glance for a moment before ruffing his hair to get the sand out of it. "You're very welcome" he said with a bow began walking to his two guards. He gave them a nod as a meaning that they are leaving.

"Wait."

Aegon stopped in his tracks and looked back at her kind of unbothered. "You're really gonna leave me here after a that dragon which came out of nowhere by the way and nearly killed me? It could come back, you know" Meya said crossing her arms over her chest. Aegon chuckled a little over her comment. "Yeah, I guess I am" he responded and continued walking. Meya huffed and ran up to him and walked right next to him. "You really can't stand me, can you?" Meya said trying to catch his eyes. The prince smirked and looked right back into her purple eyes.

"Iff I can't stand you, my sweet niece" he said and grabbed her wrist pulling her closer to his face. "Then how come that I just saved your life? And I think it's rather you who can't stand me since I didn't get a thank you" he said as Meya yanked it out of his hand. He was right about something, she thought. How could he really not stand her but save her from being burnt to death?

"I would probably guess that it was just for duty" Meya said putting her arms behind her back and looked down at her feet in the sand. "Since I'm your betrothed and all. And also because with me dead our mothers wouldn't find any peace with one another." Aegon rolled his eyes of her mentioning his mother. He bumped her shoulder making her stumble a little bit and walked fast over to his guards and left her alone at the beach with Ser Finn.

Meya walked back and forth in her nightgown inside her chambers thinking to herself. She thought over the past few events in her mind.

The dragon, Aegon saving her then leaving her all alone. All of it.

She stopped in her tracks  and walked straight out of her chambers. "Don't follow me, Ser Finn. I can find my way around her myself without any protection needed. Go back to sleep." She said unbothered while walking leaving her guard half asleep by her door.
She didn't really know in the beginning where her feet was getting her. But later made up in her mind she were going to Aegon's chambers. She needed a word with him. Once she got there she knocked unstoppable at his door. Moments later it opened revealing an exhausted Aegon looking down to her.

"Meya?" He said curiously drawing a hand trough his hair and leaned on the door frame. He had a loose dress shirt on hand his hair were ruffled. Meya rolled her eyes and made her way into his chambers with him closing the door shut. "I would rather speak in here than in the hall. Iff someone hear or might see us by this hour then god knows what people would think" she blurted out. Aegon shook his head and laughed, making his way over to her. "Maybe how impatient we are with how long we have to wai-" he got cut off by her hand crossing his face making him stunned for a moment. " don't even go there" she warned him with an frustrated look resting upon her face. She never liked his 'jokes' and 'teases' he did to her. It made her feeling slightly embarrassed but yet irritated.

Aegon chuckled over her slap and put one of his hand to his red check. " This kind of reminds me of six years ago you barged in here doing this to be honest" Aegon said making Meya roll her eyes. He was right about it. Six years ago when Aegon were an ass to Aemond in the dragon pit.

"And yet you learned nothing" Meya said and begun walking to the door to leave the room only to be yanked by her wrist back to Aegon. They were close to one another making Meya's breath hitch. She's never been that close to him in her life which made her a little nervous. Aegon's eyes flicked to her and then to her lips for a short second until finding its way back to her eyes again.

" I hate you, don't you know that?" The princess let out looking down to her feet. Aegon smiled at her a little before lifting her chin up with his one finger to make her look at him. "I may recall that. But in this it doesn't really matter since you're my betrothed"  He said softly with a sarcastic smile. Meya caught his eyes being glued to her lips until she cleared her throat. She removed his hand from her face and began walking away to the door. Once she opened it she threw a small glance to the silver haired prince watching her which every movement.

"good night, uncle"

End of flashback

"Meya are you even listening to me?"

Meya awoke from her daydreaming and looked over to Helaena as they walked side by side in the gardens. "My apologies" she apologised and looked down to the floor. " Go on then and continue. What were you saying?".

"You missed the incident that happened at supper once you left last night." Helaena informed her.

Incident?

Meya looked confused at Helaena and stopped in her tracks. "What kind of incident?". Helaena sighed as the two of them began walking slowly again. She hesitated at first but decided to spill it anyways.

"Aemond made a toast once you left the room." Helaena let out not meeting Meya's gaze.

" A toast referring to Jace, Luke and Joffrey being bastards." Meya's blood began to boil in anger. She clenched her first once she heard Helaena say the words. "That's not even the whole thing." Helaena went on.

"Aegon kind of stupidly chimed in on it"
