The Targaryen Jewel

Ch.5

Visenya's POV

Wedding outfit ^

In the morning I rise with the sun and help Alicent with the babes. We get Aegon and Helena fed but Alicent looks tense.

"May I ask what is wrong my queen?" I call out and her eyes flash to me.

Alicent sighs." My father said someone spotted Daemon and Rhaenyra in a pleasure house last night." I tense at her words and look at her in shock.

"No, Daemon wouldn't do something that stupid, he-he promised me he would keep out of trouble." I tell her as tears fill my eyes and she looks at me sadly.

"My father wouldn't lie to me." She speaks and I stand.

"If you will excuse me, my queen, I must speak to my brother at once." I tell her and she nods sadly at me.

I march through the halls after being told the King and the Prince are in the throne room, I barge in and they both look at me.

"Tell me it isn't true!" I snap at Daemon and he looks down guiltily and I shove his chest making him stumble." You promised!" I yell at him as tears fill my eyes." You promised!" He doesn't look up at me.

"Go back to the Vale, Daemon, to your lawful wife. Strive to restore whatever scrap of honor remains in you. Or don't. Matters not to me. As long as you are gone from my sight for good." Viserys tells him and I release a sob.

 "As you wish, brother." Daemon walks towards the door but freezes when I don't follow." Visenya." He calls out to me but I turn away from him to look at Viserys and he looks back at me sadly."Visenya it's time we leave." Daemon tries once more.

"Im not going with you this time Daemon, you learn nothing, I told you I wished to stay." I tell him and he strides closer.

"You aren't going to leave me Visenya!" Daemon snaps and I flinch.

"Guards! Escort my brother to his room to collect his things and then to the dragon pit." Visery says taking my hand as my shoulders shake and tears travel down my cheeks.

"No! No! No! Visenya don't leave me! Release me at once! I am the prince!" Daemon shouts as he gets dragged from the room.

"You made the right choice sister." Visery says patting me on the shoulder, I nod.

"May I be excused?" I ask my brother and he nods.

The next month was hard, Otto Hightower was no longer the hand to the king, Rhaenyra was to marry Laenor and I was missing Daemon terribly, I spent most of my days reading to my brother as he worked on his sculpture, playing with Aegon and helping Alicent with Helena. When I wasn't with my eldest brother you would most often find me with the Queen and her children. 

Alicent had also learned the truth, not only had my brother all but admitted to laying with Raenyra but so had Sir Cole.

I was sat at the feasting table during Rhaenyra's wedding, I looked around the room not feeling too hungry, but feeling sad. I miss my brother terribly, and I feel awful about leaving him to himself.

I stood and clapped with everyone else as Laenor was announced as entering, Rheanyra rounded the table to meet with him and they both sat down together and his family sat down at our table.

Viserys looked annoyed as the seat between us was empty as Alicent was late.

Everyone sits but my eyes widen when I see Daemon walk into the room. People murmur and Viserys looks on angrily at Daemon. He approaches the table and smiles at our eldest brother the king who gestures for a chair, his chair gets placed next to mine as the hand moves down a seat respectfully.

Daemon takes my hand once he's sat and kisses the back." I have missed you, sweet sister." Daemon says and I look at him sadly while squeezing his hand with a nod.

Viserys starts his speech. "Be welcome, as we join together in celebration. Tonight is only its beginning. We honor the crown's oldest and fiercest ally, House Velaryon. Reaching back to the days of Old Valyria and the Age of Dragons. With House Targaryen and..." Viserys stops himself and I turn to see what has caught his attention. Alicent was standing at the entrance dressed in green, Hightower green.

She makes her way in and takes her seat next to me and the king, as everyone stands for her, Daemon stays sitting.

"Congratulations, stepdaughter. What a blessing this is for you." Alicent tells Rhaeynra, she kisses Viserys on the cheek and stands by his side.

"Please be seated." Viserys says and we all sit once more as he continues on with his speech.

" With House Targaryen and House Velaryon united, I hope to herald in a second Age of Dragons in Westeros. " Everyone seems to applaud." And after tonight's small affair... " Viserys jests making people laugh." Seven days of tournament and feasting." They applaud once more." At the end of it all... At the end of it all, a royal wedding... between my daughter, my heir... your future Queen... and Ser Laenor Velaryon, the heir to Driftmark." With that, the king sits and the festivity begins.

Rhaeynra and Laenor have their first dance, after that, a throat is cleared and I turn to see, Vaemond Velaryon.

"May I have this dance princess?" Vaemond asks and I smile politely.

"You may." I tell him and he takes me to the dance floor.

"You look beautiful princess." Vaemond tells me and I give him another polite smile.

"Thank you." I tell him.

"I know you don't wish to marry, princess, but you are getting older and I think it would be a wise time to marry, while you can still produce children. If you don't mind me speaking bluntly, princess. I think we would make a great match." My eyes widen at his words.

"I do mind, and I think this dance is over." I tell him feeling offended by his words. I pull away from him and turn away only to jump as screams and shouts break out, I trip as someone pushes into me and I look up scared.

"Princess?!" Vaemond shouts.

I try and protect my head as Im trapped on the floor people stepping on my skirts.

"Where is the princess Visenya?!" I hear a shout. 

I get pulled up and whirl around scared only to be greeted by Daemon's fear-filled face.

"Are you alright?" He asks and I nod.

"Where is my sister?!" I hear Viserys shout and I watch as Ser Cole murders Laenors lover. He beat his face in until it was mush as I clung to my brother.

Laenor cries over his body, for a moment before getting pulled away to marry Rhaenyra.

Once the wedding was over I made my way to see Alicents children, as Daemon had left after making sure I was okay.
