OF BASTARDS & DRAGONS || Aenar Targaryen [1]

100 • REUNITED AS ONE

THREE DAYS LATER

The rise of the first dawn, King Aenar set to wed his new wife on DragonStone, ravens were sent out as all lords sworn to his banner, all came to attend the ceremony. Everywhere was jam-packed with guests.

"The love of the seven is holy and eternal. The source of life and love. We stand here today in thanksgiving and praises in joining two souls as one before the Father.....the Mother....the Warrior......the Smith.....the Maiden.....the Crone...and the Stranger." The High Septon declares as his voice echoed against the stone walls of DragonStone.

The High Septon now tells the couple to say their vows. "You now say your vows in the sight of the gods and before the congregation as witnesses of this holy matrimony."

"Father..... Mother....Warrior...... Smith..... Maiden..... Crone.....Stranger." Aenar and Alicent said in unison.

"I am yours, you mine, whatever may come." They both said..

"You may now say your vows and exchange your wedding bangles." The High Septon said.

Once both couples wore each other their rings and made their holy scared vow, the High Septon blessed their union. "Here in the presence of the gods and men, I proclaim Aenar of House Targaryen and Queen Alicent of House Hightower, man and wife, bless be he who blesses them, and curse be he who curses them, curse be he who seek to quench their marriage or put them asunder."

"For the Seven Gods have witnessed their oats, and has joined them in one soul, one flesh and one heart and forever till death.... In the light of the seven, I here by seal these two souls, binding them till eternity. You may now kiss the bride" he tells King's Aenar.

Alicent inhales softly as Aenar cupped her cheeks, leaned forward and brought his lips to hers. She hummed and reciprocated the kiss, as their lips collided in gentle press of affection and love. After a moment, when they pulled apart and faced the crowd, the High Septon declares.

"May the Seven Gods bless King Aenar Targaryen and Queen Alicent Hightower! Long May They Reign!"

"Long May They Reign!" The crowd echoed in cheers except for the House Lannister, reeled at the insult, along with Daenerys and Rheanyra who felt bitter and resentful.

Both husband and wife turned to their families and subjects as the crowd applauded their union.

▪️▪️▪️

The Green council plots continues to derail as everyone now lived in fear and tyranny, the news of Alicent remarrying shook the realm as the small folks celebrated in the streets, chanting long live "King Aenar, Queen Alicent and Queen Cersei" everyday till it became a motto.

Otto Hightower went into madness after hearing his daughter had married his enemy and his son, now the new Lord of Old Town. His plans were failing, except for Dorne who'd promise to support his claim as the new King, if he agrees to marry their oldest girl of thirty.

The Regent having starting to lose his grip of things, was slowly killing people whenever he got angry, and also resulted to taking whores into his bed out of frustration. The one time powerful astute politician from Old Town is starting to live in fear and desperation. Cursing and disowning Alicent and Gwayne for betraying him.

On DragonStone, The banquet was over, everyone had gone back to their homes, Rheanyra remained on DragonStone, while Daenerys returned back to the Eyrie to join her husband. Princess Rheanys retired back to Driftmark, leaving Corlys and Vaemond behind to plan the sacking of Kings Landing with the Unsuilled commander Greyworm.
