Aemond walked into the room quickly and determined.
"Pack yours and Visenyas things."
Raella looked at him with confusion, holding Visenya in her arms. He only smiled at her and kissed the baby on forehead.
"Corlys and Rhaenyra are abandoning Kings Landing right now. It's the end, at least for Red Keep. They're probably going back to the Dragonstone. They are furious but your grandfather wouldn't risk yours and Visenyas lives."
Princess had tears in her eyes. All for her. For her stupidity. She looked at her kid and hugged her tight. Aemond looked at her with mysterious face. Pity. Sadness maybe. He kissed her on head.
"Don't worry, my wife. It's not your fault. I get it."
"You don't get it. I will be packing."
She put her daughter in cradle and quickly brought out bags to pack. Her husband looked at her, quietly crying while packing. He loved her still. And her sadness was just devastating.
"I will pack your things from ours chambers."
She nodded, tears falling down her face. But he knew anything he said wouldn't ease her pain. Only worsen it. So he walked out.
Raella was crying as she finished packing it all. One of servants wanted to carry Visenya but she yelled at her, taking her herself. She was dressed in green. Color she hated. Color that meant that she was a traitor.
Aemond led her through the corridors into courtyard. Vhagar. Dragon that killed hers. She quickly froze. Her husband of course stopped, but then grabbed her by the shoulder and just forced to get on the dragon. She was scared. About safety of Visenya here. About safety of herself. Vhagar killed hers, her brothers and had a part in killing her grandmothers dragons. She was dangerous. And she had a little baby in arms.
Aemond held her, Vhagar flying fast as he wanted to see his mother and sister as soon as possible.
Only then he saw the shadow. The shadow of his doom.
It was one of the Dragonseeds. Ulf, who was no longer loyal to anyone but his beliefs and honor. He was no longer a "puppet" of Rhaenyra the cruel. He was free. And he wanted to show that he indeed was. He knew all the plans. He knew who would be on Vhagar. What he didn't know that he was so lucky. So lucky that they met. He wasn't scared of Aemond. He maybe was stupid. Maybe not.
"Ser" Ulf the White saw Vhagar and instead of being scared like everyone he admired her. For a short moment. He knew what he was there for - to kill Aemond, Raella and Visenya. The princess screamed pointing to him. She saw by his body language that he was drunk, something very common about him. In the same time Prince wondered if Rhaenyra sent him. To kill her own daughter?
Aemond sharply he pulled Vhagar's leash up, above the clouds. Above Ulf, who was drunk and couldn't even think clear. His brain working so hard, thinking who sent him and who knew that he was here. Overthinking everything, at the same time trying to stay calm and to calm down his wife and child.
But Ulf didn't even hesitate to go after them. He quickly pulled his dragon above the clouds, chasing after Vhagar. He was close to them. Aemond could feel breath of Silverwing on his back.
"Hold onto something!"
"What?!"
Aemond quickly got up and raised his sword. Scared, Raella quickly pulled Vhagars leash. Aemond jumped to Silverwing and killed Ulf with one swift move.
In that moment she saw how aggressive he was. How he needed to be stopped. They landed quickly.
"I will face Daemon. Then we will return to Kingslanding."
Raella adjusted Visenya in her arms.
"Are you mad? You both have little children, Aemond!"
"That's why only one of them will have a father."
She grabbed his arm.
"Aemond, I beg..."
"Do not, dear wife. I know what you think, you chose your side long ago."
She looked at him with rage.
"Do you blame me? After what you've done?"
He looked at her with narrowed eyes.
"You know I didn't..."
"It doesn't matter now, right? I know what you think, you chose your side long ago."
He just looked at her.
They quickly returned to Harrenhal where they would stay for the time of Daemons arrival. Raella smiled at her daughter as she sat on the carpet, passing her the toy she wanted.
Aemond walked in.
"Your father has arrived."
Authors note:
Finally an update, I'm sorry, but finding motivation is hard.
The sad part-we're heading to the end, but do not fear it I have a feeling it will be a good one :)
