AEMOND: Mother betrayed me. I am forcibly wed to Lucerys, my tormenter. And when I questioned her, she had the GALL to say it’s all my fault?!

LUCERYS: Qybor…?

LUCERYS: Aemond, now that we are wed, can I— can I please ask something of my alpha?

AEMOND: Oh and the greedy bastard asks more. Of course he does. What does he want?! Gratitude? My other eye?!

AEMOND: He thinks he can butter me up by calling me HIS ALPHA.

LUCERYS: I want to apologise for hurting you. It was monstrous, and I should have made amends sooner. If… if you are willing to let me, allow me to prove my sincerity. We may learn to love each other one day.

LUCERYS: You are handsome, learned and very skilled with the sword. I would like it if you had a place by my side ruling Driftmark. Our family will be much stronger with the two of us leading the fleet.

LUCERYS: We… we would need to have some children to continue the Velaryon line. It will be nice if we can have a big family.

LUCERYS: And, um, could we not sleep apart? I don’t like to sleep alone in my rooms.

LUCERYS: ……. Qybor?

AEMOND: Very well then. Let’s get started. Tonight.
