When Aemma got back to her chambers, she slowly began to pack her belongings. It was really sad to put everything what she hold dear in her life into trunks, large boxes without personality.
Small knock on her door brought Aemma out her thoughts as she called out, "Yes?" And her mother walked into the darkened chambers.
"I already began packing, mother," Pointed out obvious Aemma, with annoyance on her face.
"Is Dragonstone beautiful?" Wanted to know Aemma. Knowing her mother was on the island already and knew if it was pretty or not.
But Rhaenyra did not answer her daughter as sadness made its way into the white haired princess's face.
"Come here," Spoke up Rhaenyra gently, grabbing her hand and lead her towards the bed where she sat down.
"You are eldest, so you deserve to know the truth, Aemma. You brother and I, we've been exposed. I would love to stay in the Keep to take care of your grandsire, my father. But I have to go and protect your brothers," Explained Rhaenyra to Aemma. Confusing young Princess.
"And? What's the point?" Asked Aemma, confused.
"Aemma, sweetheart, you are not going," Told her Rhaenyra as gently as was possible, "You are betrothed to Aegon now. So, your place is here, with him," She added in.
"What? You want me to stay here all alone?! I am not going to stay here without father!" Shouted out Aemma. Trying her best not to cry.
"Aemma, it is not that long time ago when you wanted to stay here. King's Landing is your home and always will be, since Aegon's seat will be here in the future when I will be the Queen," Reminded her Rhaenyra.
"No! You are not listening to me!" Shouted out Aemma at her mother desperately.
"I will not stay here without father! You and boys can go wherever you want, but father will stay with me! He is my family! I will not abandon him," Shook her head Aemma.
"Your father must stay with his wife, his family. It's his duty. And your duty is to stay here with your betrother. Dragonstone is not far from here. Not even a hour flight on the dragon back," Told her Rhaenyra, this time using her stern tone of her voice. Ordering it to her daughter.
"I can perform my duty on Dragonstone," Shook her head Aemma.
"It's not the way how it works, Aemma. One day you will understand it," Simply said Rhaenyra.
"I hate you," Screamed out Aemma, before rushing out of her chambers.
The young princess nearly fell on the floor because of her blurry vision, but she finally reached the door. Library. It was her safe place, other than her chambers. But there was her mother at the moment. She quickly got inside, leaning against the door, before letting herself slide onto the floor.
