There was a choked noise that sounded in the small space, lips had paused in drinking from a cup--wine burning the back of Vladimir’s throat as he set the cup aside. A few coughs sounded from the Dornishman, cheeks flushing at the sudden remark as he merely attempted to breathe. She was ever forward and bold in curiosity, which was by no means a horrid attribute for such a young woman as she.

But.

Vladimir did not dare to ignore such a question, no matter the prying ears amidst their small meal among the gardens.

“No, I am not courting anyone, Princess.” A sharp intake of breath following as Vladimir eased back in his chair, a leg crossing over the other as he regarded her. What did she expect to discover knowing such information? “Might I ask, what has you in such...wonder over such a thing?”

Tonight Aegon had been drinking , more than usual . Gods knew that he would need it tonight . THE WEDDING OF A PRINCE IS A CELEBRATION . IS IT NOT ? He would say to anyone who would give him a scornful look . Aegon tried to send a few cups Helaena’s way , hoping that the drinks would calm his sweet wife . 

❝  IT’S TIME ,❞   the words rang heavy in his ears , ❝ IT IS TIME TO CONSUMMATE THE MARRIAGE .❞   Aegon had foolishly hoped that his mother would have put a stop to this long ago . Perhaps she would have a crisis of conscience and realize how wrong it was to marry her son and daughter . Rhaenyra had children , bastards they might be but Targaryen’s nonetheless . Helaena could have Jacaerys , the young man would surely be a better husband for her . Aegon did not wish to make any woman suffer as his wife . 

He rose slowly out of his seat , desperately clinging to any moment of delay . Perhaps if he stalled just enough the consummation would be called off… His last ditch attempt did not work . Their fate was seated . The wooden door closed behind them with a loud thud . Louder than usual , he thought . ❝ HELAENA — ❞   he called out to his sister wife , voice ragged with a nervousness she had not heard since he was a boy . ❝ ARE YOU READY ? ❞

@dragondrcams , continued .

in truth, he had not even realized what he was doing before their skin touched. it was like an automatic response to feeling her leave his side. thumb runs along the design of her veins, memorizing the pattern. " i do not care what he wants. " words are spoken with empty malice. he knows he cannot do anything against aegon, not truly, for they were blood, but that did not stop his imagination from conjuring up images of what he would do if he could. strangling him for having touched her would be a start. " you do not want to go.. " he says and knows it is pointless to speak of. what she wants has never been taken into consideration, has it? he hums, looking down at where their hands meet before releasing her. " i will be here when you return. "

Her voice pierced the air and broke what deep thought Vlad had been trapped in. There was something soothing in such a bold, burst of words from Helaena’s lips. Such a delicate voice she held yet Vlad rarely heard her speak during his time here in King’s Landing. It’s fitting--almost--for her soft appearance. Fingers eased in their idle fidgeting of his rings, amber hues peering at her from where Vlad had been perched along a sill admiring the on goings of the courtyard. 

“And you, Princess? What is it you see with your own gaze?”

There is ever the faintest hint of amusement in his voice, curious as to what this young woman might have heard or seen of him in his stay. The Dornish had ever been plagued by rumors, especially those of such a notorious history as he.

a queen first,     a mother second.    how does one choose which takes priority over the other?    it is like balancing on a rope,    with always the threat of falling.   there is a moment of silence between them as helaena is being dressed and though no one speaks a word,   there is  a loudness  to the stillness in the air.   it plays on alicent’s mind and churns her gut.   lips part,   she speaks to drown out the voices playing at her mind, heavy with remorse about forcing her daughter into a marriage with her firstborn son.   

“ i know you were not looking forward to this day..  @dragondrcams​.  “    she realizes that this marriage was like a noose and she was tightening the knot around her daughter’s neck. rhaenerya’s gesture,   offering jacaerys’ hand for helaena replays in her mind.  the boy would have been far kinder than aegon,   but bastard blood runs through his veins and she would not have him pollute her only daughter.  alicent walks towards where helaena stands,   a hand landing on her shoulder,  there is a light squeeze meant to be loving.   “ but this wedding..  it will be a good thing,  my darling.  you will never have to go where you are unloved.  you will be able to stay here by my side.  is that not lovely? “   there is a small smile that appears,  a twinge of sadness to it that she prays helaena does not notice.   “ i am proud of you. “

vik’s hand aches a little from the punch , connecting with the jaw of the attacker and he had heard a crunch before they crumpled to the floor.  his breath is ragged from adrenaline he bends to grab the blade from the ground where it had fallen , tucking it into his belt.   he has no idea occurred , having only spied the suspicious figure and followed his instincts ...  “perhaps the gods saw fit to direct me here ,” vik replies . somewhat distracted as he checks to ensure the man is unconscious and then turns his bright blue eyes upon the young targaryen royal.

he extends a   ( gloved )  hand to her from where she is crumpled upon the stone in likely some amount of shock from being so accosted , offering to help her to her feet  —-   “are you alright?” he queries gently , the redwyne knight’s brow then creases with concern as he spies bright red against her fair skin ...  “you are bleeding , your grace ...  let me escort you somewhere safe.”

@dragondrcams asked : ❛  i  loved  you  as  icarus  loved  the  sun:  too  close,  too  much.  ❜

OH , HOW HE FOUGHT NOT TO LAUGH IN HER FACE . he  had  almost  thought  she  must  sincerely  be  joking  ,  until  he  remembered  that  helaena  was  neither  well-humored  nor  the  type  to  play  cruel  jokes  on  others.  and  so  ,  it  was  within  split  seconds  that  his  expression  shifted  from  amused  to  bewildered  ,  her  soft  ,  even-toned  voice  ringing  in  his  ears.

i loved you .

what  was  he  to  think  of  that  ?  all  their  lives  ,  aegon  had  detested  his  younger  sister  ,  and  she  had  appeared  to  feel  the  same  towards  him.  they  had  nothing  in  common  save  for  their  parents  ,  and  even  then  ,  there  was  a  clear  difference  between  how  the  two  had  been  treated  growing  up.  the  world  had  been  expected  of  the  oldest  prince.  as  for  the  princess  ...  it  seemed  their  mother  and  grandfather  only  demanded  obedience  .  the  rest  ,  as  he  had  gathered  ,  they  were  willing  to  either  work  with  —  or  ignore.

maybe  he  had  resented  her  too  much  ,  too  often  for  things  that  were  completely  out  of  her  control.  all  he  knew  was  this  small  ,  unexpected  confession  confirmed  one  thing  : he did not deserve her .

❛  was  there  ever  any  hope  for  us  ?  ❜  aegon  finally  asked.  there  was  a  tenderness  to  his  voice  that  perhaps  neither  of  them  knew  he  had  in  him.  laced  in  his  words  also  was  sorrow  —  a  regret  for  what  might  have  been  had  he  not  had  such  a  talent  for  destroying  everything  he  touched.  ❛  was  there  ever  a  time  we  might  have  made  a  happy  life  together  ?  ❜
