Dragons Fury (Of Black and Red rewrite)

Ambition for Driftmark

"My cousin, the king, would have your tongue for this." Rhaenys reminded him.

Vaemond smirked. "It's not a king who sits the Iron Throne these days, good-sister. It's the crown prince."

"Rhaella Velaryon was listening to her brother Jace being taught high valyrian by Maester Gerardys." She had married Duncan after they had left Kings Landing the 3 years ago, and had immediately consummated their marriage when they both had turned.

Rhaella massaged her now 6-month pregnant belly as she was listening to her brother Jace speak in high valyrian and struggle a little.

"The Conquerer and his sisters sailed with a great army and landed at the Blackwater Rush." Translated what maester Gerardys was saying.

Rhaella smirked and decided to test him. "Dranot."

"Ah, Dranot, Dranot." Jace hated when Rhaella did this. She would always randomly test him, and she was a real scholar. "Dranot. The end?"

"The mouth." Rhaella corrected him.

"The mouth, oh come on Jace, you knew that." Jace said. "Dranot. Dranot."

Maester Geradys spoke up. "Dranot vilinio viartis-"

"Dranot." Jace interrupted. "Dranot. Come on, Jace."

"Perhaps that's enough for this morning." They heard their mothers voice as she and Vaegon decended from the steps. Rhaenyra was carrying a 3 year old boy with her. He was the son of Rhaella and Aemond. Duncan still did not know about it.

"No. No, I want to keep going. Maester?" Jace insisted, and Maester Gerardys started speaking in high valyrian again. "Aegon...ordered the tree should be killed."

Rhaella chuckled. "Felled."

"It is a related word, but I don't expect you to learn High Valyrian in a day, Jace." Rhaenyra said.

"Rhaella did it in a week." Jace argued.

"A month to be precise." Rhaella corrected him. "Don't compare yourself to anyone, little brother. I'm sure that you will get it all right, and do not rush yourself. You have plenty of time to study." She said.

"Mama!" The boy exclaimed.

"Oh, my little Laenor. I missed you." Rhaella said and took her son from her mother. "I hope he wasn't too much trouble."

"He couldn't be, even if he tried. I never look past a moment to spend with my grandson." Rhaenyra said.

Jace smiled at his sister. Just then, the doors burst open, and Duncan walked through them.

"Leave us." Vaegon said to Jace.

"Come Joffery." Jace said to his brother and they left the rooms.

"Is everything alright, husband?" Rhaella asked, even Vaegon noticed the serious expression on his son's face.

He walked to Rhaella and gave her the letter that he received earlier and both Vaegon and Rhaenyra were surprised that Duncan didn't give the letter to Vaegon first.

Rhaella read the letter and was surprised. "This cannot be true."

"Unfortunately it is, my dear wife." Duncan wasn't sure if he loved Rhaella or not. All he knew was that he was a father and needed to protect his children, and that meant that she was also under his protection.

Rhaella on the other hand loved her husband, but it was nothing compared to what she felt for Aemond. She remembered her wedding and how Aemond was nowhere to be found.
