I sat next to the Weirwood tree, alone outside the castle as the wind blew my hair behind.

I held the book in my hand as my eyes trailed to every word written on the page, I flipped to the next page and read it again

It's been a few days since I came to King's Landing and I have begun slowly adjusting to my new journey.

I was wearing a comfortable red dress that the handmaiden gave me today and I chose to be alone for some time. Until I heard footsteps on the ground, chasing me to shut my book and look up. To lock face with a man

A man who wears his armor, short blond hair, and a smirk on his face. I stood from where I was sitting and swallowed the lump in my throat

" P-Prince Daemon? " I asked.

Not quite sure if he was Daemon, but I could not lie. He looks indeed a charming prince like what the woman says around

" yes, I'm sorry I wasn't here when you arrived at Kings Landing, niece. But I bought you a gift " His smooth, deep voice says.

I watched him take out something from his pocket

as I slowly walked towards him and stopped a few meters away. Daemon looked down at me and his smirk grew, suddenly he took a step closer

Raising his hand

I feel the back of his finger, gently caressing my cheek. We didn't break our faces from each other I felt my face getting red beaches from his touch

" Ao sagon tolī gevie than scores tolvys vestras," He says in valyrian while staring into my eyes.

His voice comes out deeper as I feel my heart begin to pound harder inside my chest.

(you're more beautiful than what everyone says)

" Kirimvose syt aōha charming udra, uncle " I replied in valyrian with a small smirk on my face

as Daemon lowered his hand, chuckling when he realized I understood valyrian

(thank you for your charming words, uncle)

" turn around " he orders, I smirked at him and did what he said.

My breath hitched when feeling his fingertips on my exposed back, he softly grabbed my hair and slid it onto the side

Feeling his skin in mine

Then I watch as he places the silver necklace down to my neck, he locks it, making me look down to what necklace it is and let out a gasp

" a valyrian steel," I said in shock, looking up at him to see Daemon smiling down at me

" I'm glad you like it, niece, " He says. But before we could continue our moment

we heard someone come into the garden with us.

It was King Viserys, looking up at his brother while holding his cane as a guard stayed behind him.

I immediately bowed my head and watched as the two brothers greeted each other

I excused myself and let them have time, I grabbed my book and left. Feeling Daemon's eyes watching me until I'm gone from his sight

****************

Me and Halaena were both walking together in the hallway

I was with her the entire time outside while she picked new creatures and bugs, keeping them inside the jar as I helped her carry some of them.

Some say that Halaena is weird, and her husband and also brother Aegon says she's weird, oh how I dislike Aegon.

It was clear to me that he had drunk himself in cups of wine, sleeping with a woman while already married to Halaena and having two children with her.

I was sad for Halaena's fate

But while we were walking, we heard a loud thump in the ground as a man groaned in pain, causing me to furrow my eyebrow and rush to see what was happening. But I stopped when I saw it was Aemond in a sword fight with a guard

" get up! " he barks.

As the knight took a deep breath and stood, ready to face the prince once again.

Halaena stood beside me, watching her brother

" Aemond loves sword fighting, sometimes he does his time training with Ser Criston, mother's guard " Halaena spoke beside me.

And I couldn't understand why I couldn't cast my eyes off from Aemond.

Something about him intrigues me.

**************

Aemond pov

I stopped in my tracks when feeling familiar eyes looking at me. I ended the knight by hitting his sword, causing it to land on the ground. I sighed and look where the stare was coming from

Then I saw Visenya, standing beside Halaena as she stared at me with those doe eyes of hers.

Her stare looks innocent and soft on the outside, but I know it can turn darker once when she's vicious.

She wore a red dress that suited her, mostly revealing more of her skin, causing me to look away before I can't hold myself back. I heard their voices talk for a few seconds and their footsteps walked away

I look back and she's already gone.

Visenya can easily catch everyone's attention in a room. Mostly, men are fascinated by her breathtaking beauty and praise her like she's a goddess

But what caught my attention more was about her.

The fierce she has inside that no woman has ever interacted with me with. I'm Aemond Targaryen, I got used to being surrounded by ladies every time

Calling my name, looking at me with lust in their eyes, and wanting to have me for the night.

But I hate to admit. Visenya was the only girl I've been thinking about for the last couple days since she got here

And she's the only girl I only desire about.

I groaned in frustration when I realized I was thinking about her again. I look at the corner to see three ladies staring at me with sparkle in their eyes, squealing and whispering words about me.

I removed my armor and threw it into the ground

" training is over," I said, as the knight nodded and began taking our weapons back as I make my way to the ladies.

I need distraction
