The Love of a Dragon

Part 31

Aegon's Pov, 

Some Time Later,

I know who's sailing this way and I made sure that Ser Erryk and Arryk will make sure that he if he's with them Daemon doesn't set one step on my lands without losing his head. He's still in exile he can stand on that boat but it will stay with that. I do not need Daemon to bring chaos to the Red Keep or make my head hurt. 

I send word to Rhaenyra twice about that Viserys was doing worse and she wished to stay away, now with Lord Corlys naming Rhaena his heir she decides to sail back. And I fear that Daemon has been poisoning her mind these last years. Only time will not tell what will happen when she walks into the Red Keep, she may go to Viserys first... try to get him to persuade me to change my mind and yet whatever she says I will not. 

"You seem worried, Kepa." Aegon says as he moves to stand beside me and I nod my head. "I told you more than once that the only thing that can bring down the House of the Dragon is itself. Your uncle has ambition for things he does not understand and things he will never understand. He will fight against this, and there may come a day when he will try to fight against your claim to the Iron Throne." 

"You think he will fight us?" 

"I think there is a chance for everything, you need to be ready for the unexpected only than can it not surprise you anymore......... no one ever thought that the doom would happen in Valyria and yet it did. I as a small boy never thought my brother would turn against me, that he would let love turn into hate and jealousy and yet it did.  It's not a question of if..... it's a question for when Daemon tries to make his move, and when he does I will be ready for him." I say and it makes him turn towards me with surprise on his face. 

"You think he will go to war? F-for the Iron Throne." 

"I don't know, but I do know he will try to do something."

That Night. 

"She went and saw Viserys." Alicent says as she has her head on my chest and I nod my head as my fingers move over her naked back. "I figured, Viserys he does not have long left.......... maybe it's good for the both of them no matter what happened it can give them a chance to say goodbye."

"When he is gone........ would you." She starts as she almost nervously starts to move with her fingers on my chest. "Would I?" 

"You said that you would always wed me if you had the chance, all those years ago..... and years in the future. If Viserys was to die, would you take me as your wife." She asks me as she looks up and let's her brown eyes meet my violet ones. "I think after some time of mourning I would, it pains me that for me to be able to openly love you it would have to cost me my brother, but I wish for him to be without pain..... this is not a life he has. He's not been without pain for years." I answer and she places a soft kiss against my cheek as she leans up. 

"It's going to be alright, in the morrow you will hear what Rhaenyra has to say not that it will change anything Lord Corlys named his heir....... she can not change that matter Rhaena and Aemond will once he passes rule over Driftmark." She says and yes they will, Lord Corlys named his heir and no matter what Rhaenyra says will change that. 

"We've been hiding behind closed doors for more almost 20 years....... it may lose the trill if I wed you." I teasingly say as I try to chance the topic and it makes Alicent raise her head with a challenging look on her face. "You think it will become boring?" She says as she sits up and moves to straddle my hips.
