Led By Fiery Passion { Aemond Targaryen}

Part 4

As soon as she enters the room she is met with Sir Harwin placing his hands on bother her brothers hair scuffling it gently, he then turns to her mother who can't even hold eye contact with him as unspoken words pass through them and the room.
Placing a kiss atop baby Joffrey's head, sir Harwin then turns to Aenyra who was a mess of tears streaming down her face.

"Don't leave us!" Aenyra whimpered out

"I must go, this will not be the last time we see one another."

Now squatting down to her level sir Harwin wipes the fallen tears away from her face resting his hand on her cheek. "Aenyra, you must be strong for them, you're the oldest and also your mother's heir.. they need you to be strong!" Sir Harwin tells her with a crack in his voice.
She could tell this was hurting him just as much as it was them.
Feeling her throat start to close up, Aenyra holds back the wail that tried to escape from her lips. Leaning into his hand she places both her hands onto his and squeezes.
Kissing her temple he turns again to Rhaenyra.
"Princess, allow Aenyra to practice the sword. It would be wise for her to know how to handle herself in any situation." He tells her just above a whisper.

"I will!" Was all the words Rhaenyra was able to choke out as she turns her head a single tear runs down her face. Giving each of them one final look he makes haste out of the chambers.

"Is Sir Harwin my father, am I a bastard?"Jacaerys ask Rhaenyra just barely loud enough for Aenyra to over hear.

Looking at Jacaerys puzzle expression as everything started clicking in his head the words her mother spoke had touched her more than she could express.
"You are a Targaryen. That is all that matters."
Rhaenyra turns to the three children with Joffrey still bundled up in her arms.
"We must leave kings landing, I fear it may no longer be safe here!"
"But mother.. I can't leave, I can't leave Aemond!" Aenyra now completely distraught.

"We will do what's best for this family. Don't worry Aenyra you will still be aloud to see Aemond and you two can exchange letters."
As if the conversation was now at an end Rhaenyra stands up to leave as she goes to fetch the maidservant's to help assist with packing.

Not even wasting a second Aenyra runs out the room and down the half only to find Aemond was still standing there like he promised waiting for her.

Running up to him with more speed that she thought she could Aenyra was no longer able control her never ending stream of tears running down her face as she tackles him in a strong holding embrace .
"Aenyra .. w-what's wrong?" Aemond ask her completely taken aback by her suddenly different behavior and the sudden physical contact.

"My ff-family is Lea-ving" unable to form the words right she buries her face in the crook of his neck.

As her sudden announcement finally washes over him, Aemond squeezes his arms tighter around her as he cups the back of her head with his hand. He can't lose her she was the only light in this god forsaken castle, without her he is nothing.
Not being able to control his thoughts or the new unexplainable feelings bubbling up in his chest and stomach, he just stands still saying nothing as he continues to hold her and soothe her with his hands running through her hair.

After some time passes and Aenrya finally calms down they release their hold on one another.
Shyness taking over her as an unexplainable feeling begins bubbling up in her chest and stomach.
"Ahem" she clears her throat then turns to look at  him.

"Aemond." Aenyra says making him look at her blue eyes staring at him.

"I'm really going to miss you!" As tears threaten to spill out of her already swollen red eyes Aemond takes her hand in his as they both give the other a loving smile. "Don't worry, I promise we'll see one another again and write each other any chance we get.

"I better go and help my family pack." Aenyra says, giving him a half hearted smile as she turns to leave, heading to the direction she once came.

The day quickly came when Aenyra and her family would leave Kings landing to live at Dragonstone. King Viserys and Aemond along with Crispy Cole were the only ones to see Rhaenyra and her family off.

"I don't understand why you feel you must leave but I will miss you greatly." King Viserys says to Rhaenyra and his grandchildren.

"I will miss you,  father, we will come visit as often as we can." Rhaenyra tells him as the two of them turn to watch Aemond and aenyra's farewells.

"I'm going to miss you niece." Aemond says as he notices the two of their parents watching them. Keeping his distance from her he gives her a loving expression.

"And I you,Uncle!" Aenyra not being able to control her emotions jumps into his arms hugging him not caring the least that it would be inappropriate or that her mother and grandsire was watching.

"Aenyra!" Rhaenyra sternly says "Come my dear it's time to go."  As Aemond reluctantly releases her from his grasp he study's her features to memorize as he's not sure when it'll be the next time they see each other.

Climbing on the ship  where Laenor and her brothers were waiting for them, King Viserys and Aemond watch as the boat sets sail off into the calm waters. Aenyra makes her way to the back of the ship not taking her eyes off Aemond or her grandsire  until their figures are no longer in sight.

Viserys turns his attention to a Aemond "I know you begged me to make them stay.. but there was nothing that could've been done. It was your sister's decision."

Half sister

Aemond thought to himself.
With sorrowful eyes not leaving Aenyra's distant figure on the ship, Viserys says nothing else as he turns to head  back the castle along with some knights of the king's guard, leaving Aemond alone.
He dosent move from his spot until the ship is completely gone from his sight.
