6 Moons Until The Birth

Kings Landing

It was two moons later, and it was time to make the move on Oldtown. Ahsoka received word from Aaliah that her ships were prepared and are now setting sale. The council meeting regarding Oldtown was already underway, but they were mainly waiting for Ahsoka to proceed with the much larger things. Instead, Aemond walked through the doors and up the steps.

Council: *stands/bows* Your Grace.
Aemond: Apologies for the wait. The Queen is not feeling well, so she sent me in her place.
Jaxton: Is Ahsoka alright?
Aemond: Just the result of her pregnancy, my Lord. *sits*
Alicent: Ser Qarl sent word from Highgarden.
Aemond: Good. Per the Queens word, I shall be the one to fly to Oldtown and take it.
Daemon: We should destroy them.
Mysaria: Death is not the answer for every problem.
Daemon: Not even for those who cause it?
Alicent: Those who surrender must be saved.
Aemond: They will be mother. But how many of your family would be willing to surrender and kneel to my wife?

The small council meeting went on. Some things more serious than others. Including the letter being sent to Essos regarding the plumbing system that would be installed. At the end. All got up after being excused. Alicent got to the doors and then turned around to speak to Aemond once more.

Aemond: Mother?
Alicent: Promise me you will do your best to save whom you can.
Aemond: Of course I will mother.
Alicent: *walks over to him* Aemond. *sniffles*
Aemond: Mother. I swear it.
Alicent: *nods* They may be my family. But they are also yours. *caresses his face* You are a Targaryen, Velaryon, and Hightower. Please do not forget that.

It would take a fortnight for the Dornish fleet to travel from Sun Spear to Oldtown. Aemond prepared himself to leave his home and children to perhaps finally bring an end to this war. The night before Aemond left for Highgarden, he spent time with his family. Aemond watched Aeson rub Ahsokas belly and babble to his sibling as he sat holding one of the puppies that seemed to be growing every day. Anakin came and sat next to his father.
