MASTERLIST
It was a month after your marriage to Prince Aemond of house Targaryen when you were called to the Queen's private chambers. This so called marriage was nothing more than an alliance between the Targaryens and the Redwynes, who controlled the largest fleet in Westeros, containing two hundred warships and five times as many merchant carracks, wine cogs, trading galleys, and whalers. This, however, did not mean that the newly wed couple was not obliged to participate in any marital activities. A moon later your marriage to Aemond was still unconsumed.
" Your Grace ." You said, stepping inside the royal chambers, curtseying. Alicent smiled at your politeness, slightly bowing her head as a response.
"Please sit, my dear. I think it is time for us to have a chat. Like a woman to woman. Do you have any suspicions to why I sent for you today?" She asked, one of her hands taking a hold of yours.
"I think I do know, Your Grace." You answered,voice a bit shy
"I know how stubborn my son can be,Y/N. However, that does not mean you can't return his attitude. That old wench of his is becoming too confident with herself while you just stand by the sidelines, doing nothing." The Queen said, her teeth gritting every time she mentioned your husband's mistress.
"What should I do, Your Grace? My husband is never approaches me,he only does when it is required or when he is in need of somebody to listen to his rants. He never touches me like a husband should." You said,voice desperate.
"I know what kind of a woman you are,Y/N. You are beautiful, smart, attentive. You are not a sheep,my dear,you are amongst the dragons now,so be a dragon! Seduce him like that old wench of his has done! Bare his children! There is nothing more powerful than a woman whose husband is satisfied. You have my protection, Y/N. Nobody could hurt you if you try,not even my own son." Your mother-in-law said.
Her words gave you assurance and confidence. You could do it, he was your husband and you were his wife. There was nothing shameful in seducing your own husband.
"Tonight, I shall send him to your chambers. This will be the time when you sink in your claws and never let go." She added.
With that your visit ended.
Night has fallen, it was almost time to go to bed,but you had no such plans. Earlier, after you had taken a bath,you asked for one of the most beautiful nightgowns that you owned,a wedding gift from your mother. You were supposed to wear it on the first night after your marriage,but since that did not happen, now was the perfect time to put it to use.
The nightgown was a silky midi-dress in black with thin velvet straps, hugging your form through the night. It displayed the upper parts of your breasts, making them very noticeable for the human eye.
Just as you were taking in your appearance in the mirror,the wooden door of your chambers opened revealing no one else but your husband.
The second you turned around, facing your husband,he stopped in his tracks. Aemond's eyes followed over your form, up from your eyes, going down your half naked body,down to your legs.
"Welcome, husband. I am happy to see you are back. Must have been an exausting day." You said, taking a few steps closer.
"It was,indeed. Those fools know nothing of how to run a kingdom,my father being the biggest one of them all." Aemond spat out, walking towards the bed where he began unfastening his leathers. You admired his muscly body while he undressed, slowly getting closer.
"You must be exhausted, my dear. You also look very tense,let me try and help." You said, taking one of his hands in yours, leading him to the chair in front of your vanity and making him sit down.
Your hands slowly crawled from his back,up to his shoulders as you massaged his tense muscles.
Aemond did not want to admit it,but that was much needed. Nobody ever asked about his wellbeing,how he was ,if he needed something. When he was with his mistress, Alys Rivers,all she wanted was for him to stick his cock inside of her, satisfying her desires and possibly blessing her with a child.
You,on the other side, stood here now,behind him as you took care of him.
Your hands found a sensitive place on his body,one that needed a lot of care so that It could stop hurting. The second you touched it a slight moan escaped Aemond's mouth, indication of your correct choice of approach.
"Oh my dear, you need a break from all this,your back is full of stiff spots,if you keep it that way you will fall sick. I want you to be well, Aemond,you are my husband." You said quietly,head leaning closer to his ear as you spoke. Meanwhile,your hands had moved from his shoulders down to his front,now laying on his chest as they roamed freely over his loose shirt.
A small grunt was his response,but it was enough for a smirk to appear on your face. Aemond's eyes were closed while you worked your way down to his body. A gentle kiss was laid on his neck,followed by a few more over his shoulders.
You didn't even realize when he had you in his arms,pinned against the vanity in your room. His lips moved hungrily against your, tongue swiping across your bottom lip, allowing Aemond entrance by the moan that left your lips at his gesture.
You were in euphoria, your husband was actually with you now, kissing you as if the world is about to end.
You felt Aemond's hands go down to your butt, squeezing it tightly before he scooped you up in his arms, carrying you to your bed,not letting go of your lips.
There were clothes in every corner of the room,you nightgown long gone and Aemond's shirt and pants thrown away somewhere close. His mouth and hands worshipped your body like a goddess, like a precious gift that was to be kept safe at all costs. His left hand laid on your lower stomach, preventing you from squirming away while he had three fingers slipped inside of you,moving in and out painfully slow,the sounds produced were drowned out by your moans as the only thing that left your lips was your husband's name and quiet pleas for him to let you finish over his fingers.
But Aemond was a stubborn man, one that enjoyed watching people beg for mercy before he claimed their lives with his sword. Now, it was not much different. Your sweet voice was like honey,and the small "please, I'm begging you" was like music to his ears. He felt like he could finish just by listening to you.
His fingers left you open before him,a frustrated yell coming out of your mouth caused by his cruel games and experiments.
Aemond leaned above you, staring at your eyes, the fingers that were inside of you mere moments ago now crawled into your mouth,him letting you taste yourself.
You breathed harshly as you watched him nestle himself at your entrance, preparing yourself for what was to happen. Your body burned with desire but there was always the grain of fear.
As if sensing your nervousness, Aemond held your left cheek, caressing it right under your eye. You felt the tip of his cock touch your most sensitive area and shivers shot through your body.
"I'm not going to hurt you." Aemond whispered,his lips mere inches away from yours. The moment he kissed you,you felt him move his hips into yours, entering you slowly. Your discomfort was drowned by the kiss, making Aemond smile. The feeling of your body squirming against his made him even harder.
The tight walls of your pussy squeezed him so hard he felt like coming right away,but he couldn't,not just yet.
The fist few strokes were slow and gentle,until your body was relaxed against his, pain slowly turning into pleasure. The second Aemond sensed this he started fastening his pace which made you grip the sheets underneath you, your back arching as his name loudly shot out of our mouth. If the windows of your chambers were opened, half the city would've heard of Prince Aemond's nightly activities.
There was not an inch of your body that Aemond did not conquer that night, the same was for you. The two held one another awake all night, only falling asleep for minutes before you awoke again, full of energy for another round. By the time it was sunrise you and your husband were already passed out underneath the covers of your bed, bodies naked, entangled with one another.
It didn't take long for the news to reach the Queen's ears, delivered by one of her trusted maids herself who was the one to wake the young Prince and Princess, witnessing the two together in bed,the bloody sheets she found later oy confirmed what had occurred the night before.
Ever since then, Aemond couldn't get enough of the newly found affection for his wife. He sought her on his own, having found a sense of comfort and peace whenever she was with him. The two couldn't get enough of each other, spending the night making love and the days seeking each other out.
A few weeks later you were told by the Queen herself that Aemond has not been spotted in Harrenhal ever since the day he bedded you for the first time. Pride filled your chest,that meant he only wanted you,and intended to keep it that way.
"I don't know where my mind has been all those months. To abandon my amazing wife alone all on her own." Aemond said as he picked up by the waist, spinning you around the gardens of the Palace. You laughed loudly, happiness filling your chest. That was all you wanted,for him to love you and see you as his wife,as someone to go to when he needed comfort and peace,not a woman who only married him for the royal privileges.
"All I wanted was to be a good wife to you, Aemond. Yes,my house might have used me as a pawn in their game, but I value you,you are my husband, and I have grown to love you." You said,now pressed against his chest as you stared at his good eye.
You saw a genie smile appear on his face, which was followed by another sloppy kiss.
With the corner of you eyes,you noticed a shadowy figure watching you from afar. It was Alys Rivers, without a doubt. You had never seen her in person but judging by the description of her you had heard a while ago,that was her unmistakably. Your sight fell on her as you kisses you husband, holding his face in your arms.
Months later,you found yourself expecting a child. Your monthly was late twice in a row, indicating something must be not right. A visit to the Maester's tower only confirmed your suspicions. Aemond was happy, not that he showed it to anyone besides you, his wife.
When the announcement was made about another little babe joining the royal family your eyes met the Queen's, receiving a nod and a knowing smile from her.
It was now the night after the festives in your and the babe's honor. You stood in front of a mirror in your room,still in your dress, admiring the swell of your stomach where your child laid. Meanwhile, Aemond was leaning against the table at the centre of the room, staring at your form with a weird smile.
"And what are you looking at,my love?" You asked, hands holding your stomach.
"I'm just thinking about the things I want to do to you." Aemond said,the smile on his face still standing.
"Is my pregnant state arousing you,my Prince?" You asked, stepping closer to him, taking his hands in yours, placing them on your belly.
"Every state of yours does that to me,my love." Aemond said, pressing you closer to his body, pecking your forehead.
"I can't wait until she's here." You murmured against his chest.
"She?" Your husband asked with a raised eyebrow. "How do you know it is going to be a daughter? It could be a son for all we know." He asked, chucking at your frown caused by his counter response.
"It will be a daughter, I'm her mother I can feel it. I have the dragon's blood in me. I can feel her fires licking at my womb." You fought back, only furthering your husband's enjoyment from annoying you.
He placed another kiss on your forehead, laughing quietly at your words.
"If you say so, let it be a daughter. She will be loved unconditionally anyway."
It was,indeed, a daughter. Valeana Targaryen was born on a beautiful summer day a few months her parent's discussion about wether were about to have a son or a daughter. Aemond was right, she was loved despite being a daughter. Her parent's love was stronger than every other power in the known world.
I love that Targ loyalists mentioned by Dany in text will be supporting Aegon VI in the future <3
Daenerys specifically thinks of Redwynes, Hightowers and Dorne as those who remained loyal to her father till the end during Robert's Rebellion
(...) The Hightowers are an ancient family, very rich and very proud.
"And loyal," Dany said. "I remember, Viserys said the Hightowers were among those who stayed true to my father."
- ACOK Daenerys I
"The Arbor makes the best wine in the world," Dany declared. Lord Redwyne had fought for her father against the Usurper, she remembered, one of the few to remain true to the last.
-ACOK Daenerys III
"You may rise," she said. "Daario tells me you come to us from Dorne. Dornishmen will always have a welcome at my court. Sunspear stayed loyal to my father when the Usurper stole his throne. You must have faced many perils to reach me."
- ADWD Daenerys VII
Dorne is set to ally with Aegon (and will become her enemy once they get informed about Quentyn) and House Hightower and Redwyne are going to be attacked by ironmen, so they will not support her if she allies with Euron Greyjoy in the future. Both will back Aegon VI Targaryen
