AEREA WALKS GUARDS SURROUNDING HER AS USUAL to Helaena's old chambers...
She just... Wanted to see... Something.
She gets there and the chambers are not empty.
Ser Criston Cole stood there.
"Ser Criston?"
Criston looks over at her, "Princess... I..."
"Where were you?"
His eyes widen.
Aerea had been blamed so much for what had happened to the point where she just wanted to know who actually caused this.
"Princess, I was abed... I am ashamed that what happened to you and Queen Helaena happened when I should have been," Criston trembles over his words as he looks around at the broken down cradle, "the young Prince did not deserve his fate."
"No..." Aerea looks down, "he did not. I can't get his screams out of my head, somehow out of everything I've been through... That was the worst."
"Aerea, I-"
"Issa Princess."
Aemond walks in as he gives Criston a look stare before pulling her close to him, "I am sure you should be guarding the King, Ser, or am I wrong?"
Criston nods, "I... I am... Princess, My Prince," he bows his head walking out.
Aemond just hums as he looks at her, "I require you."
"Why...?"
"Because," he grabs her arm tightly, "you are my wife. You have duties."
"Aemond..." She pulls on his grip, "so much has happened-"
"Exactly why we both need a reprieve," Aemond stares her down.
AEREA WAS PUSHED AGAINST THE WALL.
Aemond was angry.
He wanted vengeance for his lost nephew, no matter if Aerea did not have a hand in it, the people she supports did.
He kissed her roughly.
She pushes on his chest but he grabs her hands pinning them to the wall.
He pulls out of the kiss staring at her passionately, "you act as if you don't enjoy this... Yet, I can feel her heavy pleasurable breaths, and the way your heart beats. Everything betrays you."
"Please-"
Aemond bit at her neck as she moans out.
"Hm, how is that exactly what I needed to hear?" Aemond smirks.
Aerea felt him rip off her dress before he picks her up and threw her onto the bed.
