" I vow to remain by your side in sickness and in health , through hardships and times of need", I told

" I vow never to leave your side , never to betray you, in sickness and In good health , through hardships and times of need". He spoke

" I now pronounce Aemond of the house Targaryen and Saelena of the House Valeryon to be husband and wife , one flesh, one heart one soul". The septen spoke

He placed his hand on my face delicately , leaning down and placed a passionate kiss on my lips, I returned the gesture. I turned to the audience before us , my cousins , my father, my uncle Corlys, Daemon , Otto , Alicent , Jace , Luke , Haelena , Aegon and their children and many of the lords af westeros everyone but the king was here to celebrate,

I was still very much upset at him, I wore my house colors he his own as they cheered . He took my hand and lead us back to our seats. I sat down quitely.

" you could pretend to be happy ", he told

" you could pretend to not speak to me", I retorted

As we sat down , I watched as people found their way to the  floor.  I looked over at Jace who had looked away from me. it was my wedding yet I was miserable, swollen lip and all. I wanted nothing more then to go to my chambers. I wondered of the night , if he would come then to consummate our union. I thought not of that before .  I looked over once more at Jace who's gaze I had caught , I looked over to see Baela dancing with Luke on the floor , quite happily. I looked back around to see Luke heading in my direction . He made his way over to my seat , standing before me.

" Saelena I've come to ask your forgiveness, I do not wish to return to Dragonstone without Recouncilation, I apologize for my actions , and to you as well uncle I apologize for my accusations ". Jacerys told , Aemond stayed silent there was a silence that passed that I decided to break.

" ask me to dance". I told he looked at me a bit confused then extended his hand. we made our way out to the floor and we began swaying side to side to the music of the minstrels.

" your lip is swollen and on your wedding day ". He told

" no worries it will return to it's natural state in a matter of days". I said

" it's my fault, I shouldn't have started that fight yesterday ". He told

" it matters not , the blame isn't all yours but it is the past now, I was afraid you were going to be mad at me for choosing Your uncle", I told

" I wasn't mad at you for choosing him , though I must ask , are you in fact taken by him?" Jace asked

" I've always been able to tell you the truth Jace so I will speak plainly to you now, I am not taken by him, maybe one day I will have affections for him but he's a very complicated man this I can see , I am not sure if we are yet compatible, in truth I do not wish to be married, though the things I wish for could likely never come to pass". — he interrupted my speech

" you wish to ride upon a dragon and be a warrior a skilled great and skilled swords women of the likes of Visenya Targaryen , it's all you've ever wanted , ever since we were little and I would've given you that , I would've put a sword in your hand and a dragon underneath you to rule in my court as a queen . I know you've never been a conventional women, but I would never take or make decisions for you , I'd let you be the free , beautiful, wild thing that you are ". he told I smiled to myself at his sentiment

" sweet boy, who's shoulders I've cried on over the years countless times, I love you Jacerys , I love you , your brothers , your mother , your fathers very deeply your faces are what I picture when I imagine my family. This decision that I've made is for you Jacerys . Your brave , honorable , Caring soul deserves another who will love you in the way you wish to be loved . the love that you are deserving of , a love I cannot give to you my friend . I would not condemn you to anything less then what you are deserving of". I told
