Summary: You witness Aemond teach your daughter High Valyrian

(Authors note - this can be read as sequel to ‘A Disobedient Son’ or a stand alone shot . Enjoy!)

You take your time going through one of the many corridors of the red keep to your chambers you shared with Aemond and the children. As you head to the small study you heard voices, One was Aemonds…the other belonged to your daughter, Visera.

The door was only open very lightly, “More on the e my dear .” You heard Aemond say. You stood in the doorway , remaining unseen .

Through the crack in the door you spotted Aemond sat next to Visera, both holding books in their hands. Visera sat looking into the book intently, in the dawn of her teenage years , her pale white hair already down to her elbows, she was a great beauty - but also very cautious and studious. Aemond flipped a page in his own book before glancing at his daughter .

Visera cleared her throat “ Grēza (Dress)” she said

Aemond smiled “Perfect pronunciation”

“Do you think mother will be impressed?” She asked

Aemond nodded “she will , you are learning a language that is not easy to master Visera…”

She nudged her father “I have a great tutor Father.”

Aemonds heart skipped a best , his lilac eye blinked at the pride swelling in him. He leant over and kissed the top of her head.

You too felt a moment of fondness come over you, you watched them study the language Aemond loved so much.

“When I met your mother she did not speak any Valyrian” he said

“You met mother as children ?” Visera asked

He nodded “We did…but she did not know any Of the language ….and I’m ashamed to say in my youth I teased her about it…but when we met again to Marry she learnt the language and she speaks it very beautifully.” Aemond said.

You smiled to yourself, hearing a compliment escape his lips like that made you feel closer to him, for him to admire the way you speak a language he treasures was just making your heart sore with adoring sparks.

“The dragon trainers also spoke to me about your commands to Stormfire.” Aemond said

Visera looked nervous “Oh?”

He nudged her playfully “ Aōha commands issi rōvēgrior (your commands are excellent )”

She smiled in relief “ Kirimvose kepa (Thank you Father) “

“But one word I would advise you to practice …dragonfire .” He suggested

She cleared her throat again and spoke clearly “ dracarys“

Aemond beamed “Well done.”

Visera smiled as he put his arm around her shoulder and squeezed it affectionally , he put his own book down and looked into the one she was reading

Her finger ghosts over some words , Aemond watched her intently as she focused on ingesting the words and what they meant , a passage caught her eye and she vocalized fluently

“ …as iksis custom syt iā zaldrīzes drōmon naejot sagon isse se babes cradle…to bond lēda toliot jēda …”

(As is custom for a dragon egg to be in the babes cradle…to bond with over time )

She looked up at Aemond almost in a reflective way “Stormfire was in my cradle as a baby?”

Aemond nodded “Her egg was almost crimson, the scales were tinted with gold speckles…it was truly a beautiful egg.”

As you listened you feared about Visera’s inquisitive nature , before you could think further she asked Aemond “You…did not have an egg Kepa?”

Aemond sighed , but he relented “I did…but sometimes bonding is …not as straightforward and …mine never hatched. That is why I claimed Vhagar as a teen…”

She looked pensive “I do not think it was a bad thing you did not bond with the dragon egg .”

Aemond looked at her again “Hmm?”

She clasped the book “I think the gods meant for it…you were meant to claim Vhagar and you did.”

Aemond smiled looking in the book , Visera looked at him “Was Mother there when you claimed Vhagar?”

“Mother was sound asleep and rather rudely

Awoken by your father.” You said stepping through the door, They both smiled at your appearance “The sound of Vhagar landing by my window was enough to know what he did ….by morning it was all anyone spoke of, Prince Aemond claimed Vhagar.” You grinned as you stood opposite then

“Did everyone really talk about it?” Visera asked you

You nodded “it even followed me to my home in Winterfell.”

Aemond smiled at you when you talked about that, you caught his smile - Visera held onto her book for a little longer, as she closed the book, you looked at her “Time For your lesson with Sept Una..”

Visera put down her book and got to her feet, as she passed you you gently squeezed her forearm. She smiled at you “Enjoy my sweet girl.” You said she she left you and Aemond alone. You were so proud of her, even though both your children were growing fast and you missed their infancy, it was a beyond overwhelming to see them grow.

Aemond stood up slowly , you faced him “She’s doing so well.”

He nodded “She is…I fear soon she will correcting my high Valyrian .” He smiles slightly as you took a step closer to him.

“ Did Aelor apologise ?” He asked

You nodded “He did…rather benevolently” you said smiling as you wrapped your arms around his waist.

“Hmmmm…” Aemond said quietly holding your forearms.

“He will be fine…” you said reassuringly

Aemond inhaled “I Hope so…he’s too …rash and a bit of a rogue for his age.”

You kept your smile “I remember a young rogue not too younger than Aelor…claiming the worlds Largest dragon.”

Although that night changed his life physically, emotionally he changed too. You wished you had not been taken away from him that night and for so many years you had to endure an absence that made you so angry…but more at ease now, knowing the life you had built together.

“Hmm…I do not like him being too close to Aegon…” Aemond said

You nodded “I agree my love.”

Aemond kissed you softly “Leave it with me.”

TAGS

I feel like she was trying to protect him from attacks that were coming from below. He just slipped off.

That's why syrax was acting so weird at the dragon pit. She was probably confused and sorry, and rhaenyra's emotions probably didn't help.

I am still new to this so trying my best hope you enjoy. If you do please repost or share thanks .

Still no clue about to add one the one link of my parts. If anyone knows please let me know. Thank you.

Unwanted Daughter.

Otto couldn't believe it, he was in the sky. He could feel the wind in his face. Plus Alessya had taken him on her Dragon.

"Lord Hand, it's okay open your eye's it is beautiful, you can see all of the Red keep and more "

"Okay Princess but please just call me Otto for now"

He slowly opens his eyes. He quickly tightens his grip around the princess, before he slowly let go slightly, still holding on but not as tight.

"Wow, it is beautiful. "

Otto couldn't believe his eyes are he was in the sky. It was truly beautiful. He looked over seeing Aegon giggling and holding his hand out with the biggest smile on his face.

He slowly took a breath as he let go and held his arms out, just like his grandson. He couldn't help but laugh. It felt terrific. He had never felt such a feeling before. He looked over to see Aegon smiling brightly at him; Rhaenrya laughed, shaking her head and looking over, nodding at Alessya, who glanced back at Otto. She could help but laugh at him.

"Hold on; we are heading back into the pits, Otto."

He held onto Alessya wasit once again as they landed; standing in the pit were Alicent, Viserys, and Deamon. He could help change his grip on her wait, letting his hand settle in gently.

Daemon's face was filled with rage as he saw. Otto holds his daughter in such a manner. Viserys was laughing and clapping his hands as he saw his son and daughter together. Then see Otto on a dragon as well. alicent looked shocked and scared for her son.

Rhaenyra held her brother, Aegon hugging his sister, burying his head in her neck. As she climbed off of Syrax. Walking over to her father who hugged the pair.

"I am so proud of you: Rhaenrya, for bonding with your brother."

"papa I on the wagon " point over to Syrax.

"yes my boy I saw. You were so brave"

Aegon's eyes lit up and he puffed up his chest as he looked at his father and mother. Alicent could help but smile at her son. Long forgotten about the dragon.

Otto and Alessya came over. Watching the interaction. Deamon is standing off to the side, not speaking yet.

"Otto, my man, I never thought I would se the day. You would be in a dragon." Viserys spoke with joy in his voice. Lighting pushing his shoulder.

Otto laughed at what the King said, nodding his head in agreement. Pulling Alessya into a side hug.

"well this one can be compelling, plus she did keep me safe. So I do thank you, Princess." Letting his voice drop as he spoke her title, taking her hand and kissing her knuckles while looking at her face.

Alessya could help but blush and give a small giggle at the man.

"Get your hands off of her "Daemon's voice was dark and filled with rage.

"Father, he is just a gentleman," Alessya shouted back.

"I don't want him touching you anyone but him. I saw how he held your waist. He smirked at me. He just wants to use you" he shouted back.

"you don't get to choice "

"yes yes, I do. I will have you before and away from here by the end of the moon ends, " he spoke with a smirk. But that disappears when he sees his daughter's eyes fill with tears and turn and run out of the pit. Rhaenyra glared at him, walking after her with Aegon still in her arms. Alicent allows after her son.

"That was uncalled for her. Daemon, and you shall not have her wed just anyone so you can have rid of her. She is only 15 Moons." Viserys raised his voice.

"She is your daughter. You have never once been there for her. She comes, and you give her the cold shoulder. She is your child, and you only want to be rid of her."

"I never wanted her, that bronze bitxh said she took moon-tea" Daemon screamed back. His chest heaving.

"Is that what you really want Daemon, for her not to be your daughter. To be rid if her "

"Yes " he said quickly narrowing his eyes at his brother.

"Fine, I shall take her on as my ward. She shall stay here and learn about our ways. "

Daemon narrowed his eyes; he knew that it wasn't an option. It was an order for hid King.

"It saddens me, to see this my brother. You were so good with Rhaenrya as she was but a child. But you are cold to your own daughter, all due to who her mother is. Something the girl couldn't control " Viserys voice was soft and filled with disappoint.

Daemon walked off. Not wanting to be there anymore.

"I shall go and check on the Princesses. If that is okay with you. Your Grace" bowing his head slightly as he spoke.

"Yes please do Otto"

With that, Otto walked off with a massive smile on his face. He got to the door of Princess Alessya. He could hear Princess Rhaenrya trying to comfort her. The girl was crying. He let's the guard know he is here to check on the Princess in the Kings order.

The Knight let him in; he gave Rhaenrya a sad smile as she looked at him. She looked lost at what to do. Alicent was holding her son. Who didn't want to leave as the pretty nice girl was crying.

"Ales wkay, no wry."

"Princess Alessya, I would like to thank you"

He could hear the young girl sniffle and move from under the cover. He saw her red eyes poking out of her throw.

"T..Thank me " he voice was horse from her crying.

"Why yes. I have always been scared of Dragons. I have never genuinely been near them. But today, you got me close, and I rode one; my grandson looked so happy. I will cherish that memory for the rest of my days. "

"It's true in all my years. Lord Hand has never been near the dragons them self " Rhaenyra spoke, confirming what Otto said.

Alicent was nodding along with Rhaenrya.

He saw a slight blush on Alessia's checks. The a little look of pride in her eyes. "I was hoping I could show you around the keep as thanks."

She nodded her head, sitting up getting a napkin to wipe her eyes.

"Am okay Thank you, Aegon."

She was getting out of her bed and pushing down her robes. She was still in her riding gear. Otto put out his arm for her to take. Smiling at her, she couldn't help but smile back. Aegin smiled whispered something in his mother ear.

Alicent smiled at her son, then let him on Alessya's bed. The young boy crawled up, kissing the princess on her cheek. Alessya smiled and returned the kiss. Aegons cheek went pink as he turned and went quickly back into his mother's arms, hiding his face.

Once the pair left, Rhaenyra looked at Alicent and then Aegon.

"I would like to spend more time with him, if that okay with you, A..Your Grace."

Alicent looked at Rhaenrya like she had grown a new head. "Yes of course " Alicents voice was unsure.

"Good, now I have a Uncle to deal with"

Rhaenyra kissed Aegon on his head. She was then telling him to behave for his mother. Before she walked out to talk with her Uncle, it hurt her to see someone she loves so much be cruel.

Otto was smiling as he walked around the castle showing the Princess the parts that may interest her. She long forgot about her father's cruel words as Otto told her the castle's history.

Finally, they arrived at the library. Alessia's eyes widened; she had a massive smile as she took in all the books, all of the history.

"haha I guess you like this room then. Well I will tell you, if you like history. You should talk to Viserys he loves history he has a massive model in his chambers. "

"ohh, that is amazing. I will have to talk to him. What is his model of? "

"Well, I will leave that a surprise for you. But I will warn you. Viserys will spend hours talking your ear off about the history of old Valyria. "

"The Kings, he has stories of old Valyria; that is amazing. " her eyes lit up.

"Hahaha well. The king is going to love you then. Trust me if you go to his chambers and ask him about it. He won't let you leave."

Alessya smiles at the man who has been nothing but kind to her. She can't get her head round how her father hates him so much.

"What about you. Lord Hand, from what I have been told you served two kings."

Otto couldn't help but smirk and be filled with pride.

"I will say I am very impressed so far. Now please let me escort you, to dinner "

Otto offered his arm, knowing the impact it would make with the pair of them walking into dinner together.

The all Rhaenys and Meleys scene was stupid. I get what the showrunners are going for in the scene, the smallfolk’s deaths are purposefully shown and ignored which will lead us to the Storming of the Dragonpit. But would it have killed the showrunners to have given us Sunfyre protection Aegon at all? Their bond is the only redeeming thing you can truthfully say about Aegon and it won’t be long until Sunfyre gets fucked up by Meleys. Sunfyre should’ve been in this episode.

Daenerys is crowned Queen in the dragon pit. All hail Daenerys Stormborn of House Targaryen, first of her name, The Unburnt, Queen of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men, Queen of Meereen, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, Protector of the Realm, Lady Regent of the Seven Kingdoms, Breaker of Chains and Mother of Dragons. Long may she reign!

I like the symbolism of her new reign beginning in the place where the dragons died. Like a Phoenix rising from the ashes/destruction of the past.
