I won't be able to post until Monday.

We find out what happened to Otto and then is time for Cregan and Helaena's wedding. I hope you guys like it 🥰

Aemond whistled as he walked down the damp halls in the bowels of the castle . It was a cold and dreary place, which made no real difference to him , he was not there to be comfortable. He opened the door to the farthest cell and smiled when Otto lifted his head and gave him a hateful look. Aemond had always hated the man, who had been a horrible person his entire life. Nothing had been better than when the king exiled the fool, only to bring him back a few years later. He should have known that with how weak the man was he would bring Otto back.

"Well, you look horrible." He stood a few feet away from the man and looked him up and down. "How the mighty have fallen."

"You!" Otto glared at him, almost like he was expecting Aemond to fear him. "How dare you do this to me?"

"You made it very easy." Aemond took a step closer and simply smiled. "You should have known better than to try and take us away from our parents. Also, you will never threaten Visenya."

Otto did not look away from him. "You are my grandson."

This time Aemond did not hold himself back and slammed his fists in Otto's face, enjoying it even more when the man spit out blood. "I am not your grandson , you are nothing to me."

Otto spit some more blood and took a few deep breaths. "Why are you doing this?"

"I wish I could tell you this was all my idea and that I planned this, but I did not. Honestly, I had just planned to ignore you because this time is about Helaena and the fact she is going to be married. I want her to be happy and I did not want to cause any problems." Otto seemed a bit confused, which made Aemond smile even more. "But then you made a mistake and well, Visenya wants to kill you."

Otto opened his mouth, but before he could say anything Aemond stepped aside and Visenya walked in. It was amusing to see the way Otto's face went completely slack and his eyes widened when he saw Visenya, in her pretty purple gown and her silver hair loose and flowing down her back.She looked like a very delicate doll until you looked into her eyes and noticed the emptiness there , that was what scared most people.

"Lord Otto, it is a pleasure to see you, especially under these circumstances." Visenya gave him a grateful smile before approaching Otto. "You should always be aware of your surroundings when planning treason, it is very awkward when you are overheard and then your plans fail."

"What..." Otto looked so out of words, that he could not even finish what he had been about to say. He just gawked at Visenya for a few moments before shaking his head. "Alicent was right, you have been poisoning her."

"Of course I have, she needs to die. I mean, the few times I have poisoned her were more for my personal amusement than her actually dying, but I have been having fun with people believing she is insane." Even while Otto was tied to the chair Aemond did not trust him, he made sure to standbehind Visenya in case the man was planning anything. "I will kill her, at some point in time, but not before I destroy everything she holds dear and break her mind and spirit."

Otto looked horrified. "You are just a child."

"Yes, but I like blood and breaking people down." Visenya looked thoughtful for a moment. "What is the point of killing someone quickly? There is no suffering and no revenge. Usually when you kill someone quickly is just to get it over with. When you are truly angry and you want revenge you break the person until there is nothing left, then you kill them."
