Chapter VII : Princesses and Past sins

Jon's life was many things, but easy was not one of them. Never in a million years would he have ever imagined that studying and training could be relaxing and relieving. Yet, those were his only stress relievers, and Gods did he need them with all the things he had to take care of in this new life of his. Perhaps he was trying too hard, perhaps the fact that he was part of a family for the first time since he had left Winterfell had created feelings that were too strong to ignore. Whatever was going on inside of him was now fueling his life, and making the future. Jon was now nine years of age, and the past three years had been difficult for him. As always, he had been overly concerned to do the 'right thing' as often as possible, this 'forced' him to be a perfect son for Alicent, a good Uncle for Jacaerys and a good brother for each of his siblings. The last part hadn't been as much of a success as he had hoped, Aegon being Aegon.

If there was one person that Jon couldn't understand, it was Aegon. The former Lord Commander of the Night's watch knew what the second of his name used to be, yet, he also knew that no one was born evil, and that was why he had believed he could change his twin for the best. How wrong he had been.

With each passing year, Aegon became more and more jealous of his twin. And said twin could not really blame him for that, after all, he was perfectly aware that he was everyone's favorite. That included their two younger siblings. Helaena and Aemond, now six and five, followed their oldest brother like two lost puppies whenever they saw him. To say that Jon did not enjoy their presence would have been a complete lie, for Jon loved them almost as much as he loved his mother. It was hard for the Targaryen prince to have a minute for himself with his youngest siblings on his heels whenever he was studying or training. Helaena craved his attention, she always wanted him to read her stories and to teach him the Valyrian tongue. No matter how good her handmaidens and the maester were, Helaena would pout all the way through the story or the lesson if it was anyone else than her brother teaching her. Alicent had feared the worst when her only daughter had turned away the septa's lessons, however, the Queen had ended up shaking her head when she had realized that Helaena simply wanted her brother or her mother as a teacher, and since Jon simply refused to teach her anything about the Faith, Alicent took it upon itself to teach her. It soon became one of the Queen's favorite tasks. Even though she regretted teaching Helaena the Doctrine of Exceptionalism. Now her daughter not so secretly started to see her brother differently, fortunately Jon had been there to calm her ardors.

Aemond had been a breath of fresh air in Jon's life, the little boy who had become the One-eye prince that had burned down the Riverlands in Jon Snow's history book, had taken Jonothor Targaryen as his role model. Aemond did not just want to be taught by his oldest brother, he wanted to become exactly like his oldest brother. So much so that he had demanded to be taught how to read despite only being five year old. Viserys had refused him, the maester was already very busy treating his King's sickness and teaching the princes and princess, he had no time to give Aemond extra-lessons. Fortunately for the little prince, his mother had decided to teach him himself, for she had been reassured by her little boy's ambition and did not want him to end up like Aegon.
