BLACK BRIDE | Aemond Targaryen

2.

Rhaenys is sure Daemon is going to have them pai with fire and blood.

Feeling someone place a hand on her shoulder, Rhaenys opened her eyes and turned her head.

It was Larra standing before her, wearing a sympathetic look on her face.

Larra was her personal maid appointed by Alicent.

Larra was kind girl, and she and Rhaenys quickly became friends, she was only friendly face Rhaenys found in this whole caste... even though she was sure Larra was spying on her for Alicent.

But, Rhaenys wasn't mad about that, because she understood that poor girl probably had no other choice.

' How am I supposed to live through this, Larra ? ' she asked in a whisper, tears threatening to spill from her eyes ' I am all alone and married to my enemy...pregnant with his child '

' Not all alone ' Larra assured her, a soft smile on her face, ' You have me. Don't worry princess, I never tell Dowgar Queen everything, no matter how much she and Lord Strong threaten me '

Rhaenys hugged Larra ' From now on tell them everything if that bastard Larry feels that you are hiding anything he wouldn't hesitate to kill you. I can't loose you, you are my only friend in this whole castle. '

Next day Rhaenys was once again longing for the fresh air and peace that her namesake's garden's provided for her.

So she decided to leave her chambers and go for a walk accompanied by Larra.

Unfortunately they were stopped by Lord Strong and his men.

' Come with me, Princess '  he insisted as he grabbed her hand

' To where ? '

Without answering her questions Larys grabbed her by hand and started to drag her in direction of Red Keep.

' How dare you?! ' Rhaenys screamed at him.

Again, he didn't answer her questions.

' I am Princess Rhaenys of the House Velaryon. Twice princess, by birth and marriage, heir to the Irone Throne after my mother Rhaenyra Targaryen rightful Queen of seven kingom's. Stepdaughter to Daemon Targaryen, one and only, the Rouge Prince if he and my mother would find out you dared to even touch my hand they would give me your head served on golden plate. '

' Prince Aemond sent me here to fetch you back to Red Keep, he wishes to see you. ' he finally spoke up, causing Rhaenys to glare at him hatefully.

' By the hair, if need be ' Larys continued to taunt her, smirking slightly when he saw the way she was boiling with anger.

Rhaenys glared at the man she knew to be the reason for her real father and grandfather being dead.

It took everything within her not to lunge forward to attack him.

' You are traitor, murderor and kinsslayer, one day you will die most painful death and I intend to be present there, to witness it. ' she screamed at him ' Be very careful.
I will hurt you for this. I don't know how yet, but give me time. A day will come when you think yourself safe and happy, and suddenly your joy will turn to ashes in your mouth, when I came for you with fire and blood. '

' It is good to see you, wife ' Aemond greeted her kindly, as she entered his room's.

' Unluckily for you, the feeling is not mutual ' Rhaenys snapped at him while maintaining a smile.

Aemond expected herto at least try to be nice to him, as he was trying too, but he was wrong.

' That is no way to speak to the Prince of Seven Kingdoom's ' Larys said

' I will show no respect toward the man who tryed to kill my brother ' Rhaenys said to Larys while Aemond didn't say a word.

Aemond was a fool to ever think she would even try to be nice to him.

' Larys,you can leave us ' Aemond said

' You Grace, you cannot let her treat you in such a way ' Larys began to say.

Aemond lifted his hand. ' Enough, Larys ' He demanded in a stern tone ' Leave! '

' I agree ' she said and couldn't help but smile as she looked Larys.

' Would you like some wine, Your Grace' Aemond servant  asked him kindly.

' Only if my wife will have some as well ' Aemond responded, his eyes remaining on Rhaenys the entire time.

Servant poured Aemond a glass and then handed Rhaenys another.

Aemond was smiled tauntingly at her, raising his glass at her.

Rhaenys did the same, but maintained a cold expression.

Once Aemond began to drink his wine, Rhaenys handed her glass back to his servant, which Aemond noticed

' What, you don't like wine? ' Aemond asked curiously.

' I love wine. I just don't like you ' Rhaenys answered and Aemond began smiling slightly, amused by her ruthlessness when it came to snapping at him.

' I was able to tolerate it at first, but I am done allowing you to speak to me in such a way, especially in front of other people ' Aemond said to her before ordering his servent to get out and leave them alone.

Rhaenys walked toward him, consumed by her rage. ' You tryed to kill my brother. You helped Aegon to steel my mother's throne. You and you family started this war. How else would I treat you? ' she told him angrily.

' You think I wanted war ? I had no choice! '

' You had choice '  Rhaenys cried out.

' This was started the moment my brother was born. If your mother is to assent the throne, she will have no choice than to put as all to sword. We will always be threat to her rule, and that includes the child you are carrying. '
