Vera was dying on the inside. She was getting married in a week. To Aegon. To her old friend. she felt her heart beat pick up at the sight of Aegon, she didn't know how to react as the boy kissed her hand. Had he forgotten what he said last time they saw each other. The words he brought to life in front of the people she cares most about. She could feel the glare of Alicent, burning her back.
Vera knew the words Alicent whispered like a prayer about her legitimize, Alicent still called her a bastard. Vera had the hair, she had the eyes. She looked exactly like her mother . Sometimes the girl wished to scream. How could she stop the rumors, what part of her was different.
Vera was broken for many reasons but the taunts and words she grew up with would stick with her forever. Vera knew she would never be accepted as a child of Laenor's and Rhaenyra's, she would be Daemon's, Harwin's. Anyone seen within ten feet of the her mother was her father to the court, to red keep.
Vera knew she was a bastard, a child formed from love but out of marriage. Her parents were now married they could get away from the rumors of their love, but their actions from when they were younger would stick in the world. Until she could no longer breath.
Aegon watch as Vera tensed under his hold, she must of remember what had happened last time they meant. The boy hopped that the girl has forgotten about it, he didn't mean to call her a bastard. He brother sure. But her never.
She was everything to him. She was his world when he was younger and even now he felt apart of him he hadn't felt in a while come back. He didn't know how he had survived this long without her truthfully but now she was here he had no intentions of letting her go.
"Princess I should show you to your room" Aegon speaks as he gently lets go of the girls hand.
"I am sure the princess is able to find her old room, without any help" Alicent interrupted.
"Of course my queen" Vera spoke her tone stiff, she then made her way to he old room not without nodding good bye to her aunt.
Vera sat on her old bed letting the disgusting smell of red keep take over her senses. The temptation to send a raven to Daemon discussing the need for her to pick her up, to save her from the inevitable life, she is to face while living here.
Alas she knew she couldn't her mother would be disappointed in her desire to go home so soon after arriving, so the young girl went to be dreaming of the life she could have. Dreaming about the life she wanted to live.
Aegon knew what came with marriage, he had seen the marriage between his mother and father fall apart after he called her his dead wife's name. Aegon just hoped that his marriage would be different that his life with Vera would be one of love and not hatred. But for that to become reality he would have to fix the rift which had grown between the two in the recent years.
Aegon had a plan and he jus hoped it would work.
The next day Aegon made his way to Vera room hoping to hang out together, the boy stood out the front of the door debating on what to do. He lifted his fist to knock on the door just for it to open.
"Hello" Vera speaks in an unsure tone.
"I was just about to ask if you, would like to go on a walk with me though the gardens" Aegon stutter nerves taking over his body. Everything in Vera screamed at her to reject the offer and go on with her day but with one look in his eyes vera agreed.
"Of course, lead the way" Aegon face lit up as he held his hand out to the girl who gracefully accepted it.
