You're kidding, aren't you? - Question shocked Eyra, watching Aemond having her same expression, anger mixed with wonder.
-Do I look like I'm joking? I'm serious Eyra - says Alicent
- Never, I refuse, I prefer to feed myself to Viserion, rather than marry my brother- says Eyra enraged.
- You are right, we will not get married, rather I lift my remaining eye- exclaim Aemond; Alicent was surprised by the reaction of her son.
-As an excuse- indignant question Alicent
- You heard us well mother, we will not get married- says Eyra angry.
-There is nothing you can do about it, it is already decided- says Alicent.
-Does Dad know? - asks curious Eyra; Alicent doesn't answer, on the contrary, she doesn't even look into her eyes anymore.
-Your silence explains everything. Wait for Dad to find out, he won't allow such a thing- he points out Eyra, then turns to his grandfather and says:
- You suggested it, didn't you. I should have guessed, you lured me here, made me think Dad had gotten worse, what vile people you are. Listen to me, I will never be your pawn, you will not use me for your purposes, you know very well that if I had to choose I would go with Nyra. You and Mom were never my family! - exclaims Eyra.
Otto does not answer her, gets up, goes to where Eyra is sitting and, as soon as he reaches her, punches her in the face. Eyra falls from her chair, as she tries to get up, she hears Haelena screaming:
-Ra, are you okay? Come on, let me see-
-I'm fine Lena, don't worry it's not good for the baby- she responds as she feels the metallic taste of blood in her mouth
- Guards, escorted my niece to her room, will remain there until her tempers have calmed down- orders Otto; two guards approach to take Eyra but she pushes them away and screams:
-Don't you dare touch me, I can get to my room on my own-
That said, she leaves the room, looking badly at her mother and grandfather as her brothers look at her with compassion.
The girl arrived in her room, a guard positioned himself at the door to avoid letting her out.
Eyra, however, was a clever girl; she had already been punished in this way other times and, moreover, it was not the first time that her grandfather beat her; to escape these punishments Eyra had learned to know and turn, easily all the steps of the castle.
So, after taking care of the cut on his lip, he starts in the passage leading to his father's room; as soon as she arrives, I wait for his mother to leave the room, before entering
-Kepa (dad), I'm Eyra, I've come to see you and bring you the medicine- says the girl
- My sweet dove, your mother told me that you would not come because you were not well- says Viserys
-Mom lied to you; Otto had me locked in my room after both Aemond and I refused to marry, but they forced us to marry anyway- explains Eyra
- In what sense my sweet darling? - question Viserys laying her hand on her daughter's cheek
- Mom said Aemond and I should get married. When both, he and I, complained Otto intervened and, after we had discussed, ordered two guards to escort me to my room- explains Eyra
-Do they want you to marry each other? How is it possible, I did not order this. You do not want it? - asks Viserys in a sweet tone.
- Yes, Dad, I love another person- Eyra answers truthfully.
- I understand; bring me a parchment and a feather- asks Viserys kindly.
- Sure kepa (dad); if I may ask, what do you need them for? - curious question Eyra while she offers her father what he asked.
- You see, I have become old but not stupid, your mother and grandfather will not be able to care about any marriage with your brother if my wishes are written on a piece of paper with my seal. Not even when I die - says Viserys
-Kepa (Dad) Don't say that, you'll live many more years. - says Eyra quickly.
- Issa hāeda (my child), I will not live forever; when my time comes you must stay close to your sister Rhaenyra, Tell me - says Viserys
- Sure, Father, I promise you- says Eyra as a tear falls on her cheek.
- You, my little dove, look very much like Queen Emelyn - suddenly says Viserys.
-So did it really exist? It's not just a legend - question
- For me, yes; I have always been convinced of his existence and that of Daeron. For this reason I always defend the sword treats your grandchildren; you know that, according to legend, Viserion was his dragon- tells Viserys
-Really? Then my Vis is an old man- exclaims Eyra
- No, my darling, it is said that at the time Viserion was only a puppy, very large but a puppy. It is said that when Daeron and Emelyn died he and Drogon were taken to King's Landing-
-Is there another dragon bigger than Vhagar? But I, until now, have only seen Viserion- curious exclaims Eyra
-This is because Drogon died long ago- says Viserys
-Wow, to think that you don't even have proof of their existence- says Eyra
-Actually, years ago, I found a diary in the library; when I looked at the dedication I was amazed, that was proof that Emelyn and Daeron had really existed. Unfortunately for me he could not read it immediately and when I went to find it, the next day, it was gone; it had disappeared into thin air. - says Viserys; Eyra does not interrupt him, she listens to him intrigued and fascinated by what he is telling her.
-However, there is a prophecy that says "when two boys manage to cross the fire, Arcadia will be reborn from their ashes"; now, however, it has become only a legend- speaks Viserys before stopping because of a strong cough; Eyra reacted immediately and passed the medicine.
- Now I'll let you rest kepa. I love you- says Eyra
- Avy jorrāelan tolī issa byka rhūqes (I love you too, my little dove) - says Viserys.
Eyra goes back to her room, happy to have talked to her father just like they used to.
The next day her mother came to her and told her that the marriage with Aemond was dissolved; Eyra immediately understood that they must have seen her father's wishes. To say his mother and grandfather were furious was an understatement.
It's been 3 months since that episode, Luke and Eyra continued to see and hear, through crows; their relationship could not get better than that. Eyra was in her room trying to put on a corset that, however, she could no longer close when she heard a knock at the door and shouted:
-Forward-
-Sister- spoke Aemond
-Hey Aemond, what's going on? - asked Eyra
-I realized I haven't thanked you yet for getting the wedding annulled. I love you but I love another woman. - explains Aemond
- Ahhh. How nice, you have to tell me right away who she is - enthusiastically says Eyra, but before Aemond could answer her, she went to vomit.
-Sister- exclaims Aemond concerned
- Don't worry, I'm fine. It's been a while, I'll get the flu-
-Eyra!- exclaims doubtfully Aemond
-Tell me Aemond- she asked, wiping her mouth.
-How long has it been since you bled? - he asked
Eyra thought for a moment he could say:
--Shit-
