He threw another punch at the tree and took another short breath. After meeting with his uncle, he ran away almost right away, trying to hide from everyone. People were running around the palace and he couldn't focus at anything. The only thing that was keeping him sane in all this madness was his future wife. Nicoletta was the strongest woman he met, she was barely twenty, but she still was very smart and confident.
"So here hid the King of Seven Kingdoms!" Aegon's eyes narrowed and he turned, greeted by his cousin's face. Smile grew on his and he put the sword in the ground. "After all those years I should have know that you'd know me the best," Robb only smirked and threw his arms up, bowing before him. "I am for your orders, your Majesty." Aegon rolled his eyes and took shirt from the tree brunch. He quickly dressed and collected his things.
Walking back into the Red Keep, Robb told him all about the events that he missed back in Winterfell. He heard about Bran's accident, but truly, he didn't belive that it was indeed accident. Nor did Nicoletta. Mentioning her name, he remembered about wedding plans they made two nights before. "What about your lovely future wife? She's a beauty, heard they call her Queen of Blue Roses. Also..." Robb stopped suddenly and sent him apologising glance.
"Also, what?" Dark eyes studied blue ones. "You probably heard the rumors? About Nicoletta and..." "My mother." His eyes casted down as he remembered the words from the Market. People were happy about the marriage, but some found the way to destroy the joy. Rumors about being twins with Nicoletta, has destroyed his mood for the rest of the week.
Just as they walked into the main hall, they were stopped. "My Prince!" Tyrion Lannister walked to Aegon and Robb with small, his usual house colours replaced by black and blue. "It seems like your aunt, Daenerys has come. Along with her whole Khalassar, as it seems." Aegon sighed and nodded. "And where is...?"
"Aegon! Darling I was looking for you!" Nicoletta's voice filled the air and soon they heard the rustle of her dress. When she appeared at the top of the stairs. Black hair weirdly straight and blue dress with gold at the end. She's even more beautiful than he remembered. Blue eyes landed on his posture and she smiled wilder. "Your aunt is waiting for us! We cannot keep a pregnant woman waiting, can we?" Voice like velvet came closer as well as it's owner.
Nicoletta Baratheon was stunning, that Robb had to argee to. But she was even more beautiful, while looking ar his cousin. Even he wouldn't dare to compare himself to Jon... Aegon. Her eyes never left his face, even when she greeted him. "Lord Stark, it is a surprise to see you here. Your family is taking a walk in Roses Gardens. Will you be joining them?"
Robb nodded with smirk on his lips. "It is my intention, my Queen. I shall leave you to your bride, cousin." He left without another word, shaking his head left and right. Who would have thought that the most powerful woman in Westeros would be head over the heels with half Stark half Targaryen.
"My aunt is here? Already?" Aegon couldn't hide his surprise, traveling from Essos was taking time, but turns out not as much as he thought. "Yes, I was informed about attempt of murderer on Daenerys's husband. Some maegi was trying to convince her that she would heal his wound by magic. Turns out her plan was to kill both Khal and their child." Nicoletta's voice was harsh at the beggining, but then it grew softer. She had prevented her mother from massive murderer, Cersei was not taking easily offense like her late husband's bastards being alive.
"How are you? Was she trying to talk to you today?" His hands found their place on Nicoletta's shoulders, squeezing them lightly. Blue eyes were focused on his, when she smiled sadly. "Guards told me that she was treathing them, that she would order people to rip them apart if they won't let her out. She's getting more of a problem than a threat." She whispered and bowed her head slightly. "Hey," Aegon placed two fingers under her chin and raised her head. "Look at me and remember what I say. You are the Queen, not her. She's weak, sellfish and toxic. It's you that people adore and trust, you who helped them when they needed help, not her. She still is your mother, but only by blood."
Nicoletta nodded and sighed, her body was calm and mind clear. "Okay now, let's meet you with your family."
Seeing his aunt for the first time, Aegon lost his breath. For the first time he saw someone from his father's family. Daenerys feeling his look on her, raised her gaze from her husband and meet him. Violet eyes widened and she stood, Khal Drogo following her. Slowly she made her way to him, long white dress with gold clips on her arms were showing her pale skin. She stopped a step before him, looking with interest at her only nephew.
"Aegon," softly spoken name, woke him up from his state. Looking a little down, he noticed her hand, reaching for him. Taking it, he pulled her to him, carefully rounding her with his arms. "My dear nephew, it's delightfull to see you alive." She whispered and he felt cold water on his neck. "You as well, dear aunt."
Nicoletta smiled and straightened her dress. She didn't want to interrupt long lost family with their meeting. "Queen Nicoletta, I thank you." She raised her eyebrow at Targaryen princess. Woman smiled and sat down, next to her husband. Nicoletta took place next to Aegon, who catched her hand with his. "For all you have done. I am more than aware, how hard it is to live with your parents sins on your name. Neverless I trust that we will be able to bring, long desired, peace to Westeros."
"Me as well."
