“… Are you okay today? Didn’t Aegon bother you again?”
Aemond knelt down on one knee toward Helaena, who was sitting on the sofa, and held her cold hand, melting her body.
“Um... it was okay. you?"
She smiled brightly and answered, feeling grateful to him for worrying about her.
Aemond looked into space and smiled hesitantly and lonely. For some reason, I didn't want to let go of my heart that was already breaking.
Her heart ached even more as she looked at the beautiful woman in front of her as she was now.
The older sister who entered into an unwanted marriage with her older brother.
Her life was not good at all as she lived her whole life being ignored by her older brother.
‘You.. should have been my wife..’
Maybe then.
Aemond remembered what she had said about her older brother and her when she was young.
[If you don’t it, I can do it. Marry my sister. ]
When she made up her mind, she should have prevented her marriage to her brother.
But he had doubts.
Even if that were true, would Alicent have been able to stop getting them married?
‘Damn the past. Stupid me, I made the situation worse.
I had to somehow protect only you in this family.’
she said With him bruised in front of me.
“Aemond. Come and sit down. I have something to show you.”
Aemond stood up for a moment and sat down next to her.
There was always a warm, good air hovering around her.
mother. prophet. stargazer. dream. goddess. Dragon. All judges.
Same as those, but mysterious and dreamy purple eyes.
Slightly curly, platinum-colored hair.
Her ring that she was wearing. He was caught up in her
He wanted to throw her wedding ring into that bonfire.
‘Anyway, the twins and the children are my offspring. My blood, My kin.
How long should I pretend to be something different? I am in more pain than ever in this situation. When will I be able to become your one and only person?
She showed him her embroidery that she had laid down.
Aemond could tell.
It's in memory of our child who was killed by Blood and Cheese.
My sister's laugh was not a happy laugh.
I was smiling and pretending to be okay, somehow trying to overcome a hell full of demons.
“The spider here… It was her favorite insect. He always said he liked spiders. You remember too, right?”
Aemond ran his long, thin fingers across her embroidery and ran them down.
“That’s right.. she liked spiders. I remember always holding spiders in those little hands.”
He could see that she was bravely holding back her cries.
He could hear her taking a deep breath, but he pulled her against his chest so she could grieve more.
In her own arms, patting her shriveled shoulders,
Every time he saw her shedding tears, Aemond held back the tears that were about to flow by clenching his fists.
“… .Aemond..”
When quiet silence lurks.
She opened her mouth.
"hmm… ?“
“I want to blame you..”
“… ..”
“But... I can’t do it. I can't bear it... You're the only one in my family who loves me and sees me as I am... My heart keeps getting weaker... So... don't blame yourself too much... I know you're not that kind of kid. Because you’ll be in pain too…”
She lifted her head for a moment, then gently gave her a comforting kiss as her tears fell.
He left everything in her hands and soon reached her comfort level. It felt as if a clear spirit in heaven was healing me.
It may seem selfish and monstrous, but Aemond didn't want to let go of her lips.
How can we miss something that is like a drop of water falling into a dry and desolate lake?
I wanted to keep drinking, even if I felt thirsty again after drinking.
He promised himself that he would endlessly drink in all of her, the infinite moisture that was in her heart.
Because she was so sweet and beautiful, and she was his only refuge.
That was when they were having a deep and emotional kiss.
Aemon and Hellaena caressed each other's bodies and soon lay down on the sofa.
After controlling her empty heart from his gentle and sincere skinship, she stroked his head and tried to remove her eye patch.
“What is this..?!”
Alicent was shocked when she saw them through the crack in the door.
Aemond and Hela were embarrassed at the sight of their mother, and I froze like ice.
"mother..?!"
Then I quickly approached Aemond, who woke up, and instantly
It was Alicent who was slapping him cheek.
“How dare you..!? How dare you..!?”
It was his red cheeks.
Hela got up and stopped her.
“It’s not Aemon’s fault..!! It's my fault..!! Don’t do that to my little brother!!”
Then Alicent seemed to be overcome by her sorrow, and eventually raised her hand to her as well.
Aemond watched Alicent hitting him sister, and He desperately defended himself and stopped her.
“… Don't hit my sister! mother!."
Ali Cent shook his head and said in disbelief.
“Are you out of your mind?! How dare you play with your older sister, the queen, over your older brother, the king of this country?! “This is a shame for the royal family..!”
Alicent looked at Helaena and said.
“Your husband has been tossing around all night thinking about starting a war and killing Rhaenyra because of your dead son...! As a mother, you have nothing to do… play with the king’s younger brother?!”
Aemond burst into laughter.
“My brother is on the brink of death? You didn’t fall asleep after drinking and rolling around with a woman?”
Alicent was indignant, thrusting his face at Aemond.
“I should have recognized that dark inside of you a long time ago..!”
Aemond provoked.
“Can you tell me more? What kind of behavior did my older brother show to my sister and children? Why has my mother been here all this time and then she suddenly takes Aegon's side? You are the one who knows better what he was like on a daily basis..!!”
Alicent almost cried.
“So.. what you’re saying right now is.. this is confident? You mean that?”
Aemond approached Alicent and whispered a warning.
“I think your mother should know by now. Whose blood are the princes?”
Helaena just stared at him in horror.
