AN: These Events happened after the bath, I was too lazy to write that bath in all honesty.

PENTOS, THE LAST MOON OF 44 AC.

As a young boy with long hair and a slightly older appearance compared to half a year ago, Viserys stood in the courtyard with his hands in his pockets. While he wasn't the happiest kid in the world, he was quite a bit more relaxed now, as it had already been six months since him and Jaehaera last saw eachother. But now he saw her approaching, and he felt a sudden excitement rise inside him.

With her, Jaehaera brought her daughter Rhaella upon Stormsong. The argument she had with prince Maegor after the day of her anointment as heir just made her want to leave for some time, and so she did accompanied by her mother to be introduced to Viserys.

Viserys' eyes went wide when she had finally returned. He was very happy to see her, but he was a bit confused. But then he saw that she had brought someone with her, and his confusion was instantly replaced by curiosity.

"Did you want to introduce me to someone, or..." While he tried sounding calm when she returned, there was still some nervousness in his voice.

"Indeed." Jaehaera smiled. "Meet Princess Rhaella."

He turned towards Rhaella and looked at her with a warm and friendly smile. She was around his age, and they looked similar in terms of overall physical appearance. So, he approached her, and extended his hand towards her, waiting for her to shake it, which she immediately did.

Viserys instantly found himself liking her appearance, even though they had just met. Once the handshake had finished, he still kept looking at her. He now tried being a bit more confident, especially after being able to hide his nervousness behind his smile. But, he had one last question, so he said.

"So, you are Princess Rhaella?"

"Indeed. You are prince Viserys, I'd venture." She with a soft smile playing on her face.

He instantly liked her soft and pleasing voice. "I must say, out of all of my cousins, you are definitely the most gorgeous one of them all."

"I am very much flattered, my prince." Rhaella chuckled. "You too are a very handsome fellow."

Viserys seemed to get even more flustered at the compliment. He never received any compliments until now, and receiving one by a pretty girl of his age made him quite delighted.

"Are you serious? You really think i'm handsome?" He said this with an astonished look on his face. It was so different for him being called a handsome kid by a pretty girl his age instead of any other grown up or elder.

"I have no reason to lie." She responded with a smile.

She was already making Viserys fall for her. She seemed genuine and honest, that he could tell. That's what made him like her even more.

"Well, you do have a point there," He responded with an even stronger smile. "Can I ask you one last question?"

"As many questions as you'd like, I have no reason to rush." Rhaella responded with a smile, she was quite fond of him already.

He smiled and looked straight into her eyes.

"What is a handsome Prince like me doing without a Princess?" He said this in the most flirtatious way possible, hoping that she catches on with his flirting in the process, as he couldn't help but to like that she was complimenting him, so he decided to be a bit flirty in return.

"I wonder.. where is your princess?" She tilted her head, playing right into his flirtatious joke.

This response made Viserys feel like she was starting to get what he was hinting at. And if she was, which he believed she was, then that was just a good sign. He then started to smile again, this time even more flirtatiously.

"Yeah, I wonder..." He replied, now hoping that the flirting would continue since he really liked talking to her. "Could it be... you?" He said this with the most flirtatious and friendly smile he could put on his face, waiting for her reaction. But at the same time, he feared that she would not take him seriously, as he was still only a kid in many peoples eyes.

Rhaella just blushed a bit in response, chuckling. "I wonder." Despite only knowing him for a couple hours by now, she was already considering to leave her unloved brother for this man, could he be her knight in shining armour?

Seeing that she blushed only made Viserys get more excited and flirtatious with her, as that was now a sign that she was liking his flirtatious side. He decided to continue flirting with her like this, so a few seconds later, he asked her another question, while keeping that flirtatious look on his face.

"So, Princess, are you married?"

"Yes, but I am in the process of getting an annulment." She shrugged sadly. "My soon-to-be ex husband agrees to our annulment, all I need is my fathers approval now." She was determined to not let her pesky brother-husband get in her way.

"And, what is the reason this annulment is happening? If I may ask..."

His flirtatious attitude was not gone yet, as she was still making him like her even more now. And while her answer did make him more curious, he was still trying to not think about the subject as much and continue flirting with her.

"We don't love eachother, the marriage was never consummated aswell." Rhaella admitted shamelessly.

He was quite surprised to hear that, as he did not expect that her annulment would be because of her marriage never being consummated.

"So... it's like you were never married to begin with." He said to her, still trying to flirt with her, wanting to see her react to what he was saying.

"Indeed." She chuckled. At this moment, she felt happy, alive and cared for almost.

Her laugh did not go unnoticed by Viserys. He really liked her laugh. She sounded very friendly and pleasant to listen to. That's when another thought popped into his head. Now, he wanted to flirt even more with her, as he was now starting to realize the fact that they also shared a similar sense of humour and sense of excitement.

"So..." He said, starting to grin. "Since your annulment is happening, and you aren't married technically, does that mean..."

"Yes, you can be my shining knight in armour." She responded happily, now holding onto his hand. The smile never left her face, could this be her fairytale?

The way she kept smiling and even kept holding his hand made Viserys feel like he was in heaven. Nothing else in the world mattered right now, only that he was here, with her.

"Then I guess I may have found my Princess." He said in a flirtatious tone.

"That you did, my shining knight in armour." She responded, now getting closer to him.

Her flirty comments made him feel so excited, that he felt like he was over the moon right now. Seeing that she was being very forward with her flirting, just made him feel even happier as he continued to flirt with her.

"Then... may I kiss my Princess, one time?"

Rhaella responded with a nod, she seemed almost giddy.

Viserys didn't waste even a single second at that. As soon as she gave him the go, he immediately leaned forward to her lips to place a gentle-yet passionate kiss on them. At the same time, he tightened his hand that he was grasping on her hand.

Right after the first kiss, he quickly parted from her, while still smiling at her and not removing his hand from hers, as he awaited her reaction and response to the kiss.

She smiled and blushed like a teenage girl, which was expected for someone her age.

"So, all that we need now is a green light from the king. I will return to Kingslanding and ask him today." She smiled. "I will either come personally or dispatch a raven with his answer."

Her answer made him get even more excited, because not only did she say she was gonna ask him, but she also suggested she might do it now as well. He was really hoping that the King would say yes to their union.

"That's a relief..." Viserys said with another, even stronger smile. He also squeezed her hands tighter, this time to see if she would say anything about that. But he still continued his flirtatious attitude, even more now.

She then gave him a quick kiss. "Goodbye my shining knight, I will hopefully be back tomorrow with an answer."

The sight of her giving him one last gentle kiss made his heart skip a beat, which was already fluttering and racing. Seeing her smile right after gave him a slight blush as well, as he smiled back at her.

"Goodbye, my Princess... I will look forward to hearing the answer, and maybe another kiss afterwards."

THE VERY SAME DAY, KINGSLANDING.

After his refreshing bath with Jaehaera, Maegor went back to his chambers, only to be met with Maegor the younger, Rhaella and Naerys waiting for him.

Naerys was the first to speak. "I know I promised to do my duty, however, I feel as if this marriage is going nowhere, may we request an annulment so I can be happy and you can find a lady that actually desires you?"

Maegor starred at her with rage. "Grant you an annulment? You can't be serious."

"You left for one and a half years, you finally come back, and the first thing you ask for is an annulment?"

He took a step towards her, his fists clenched and his breathing quickening.

"And just who am I supposed to marry?"

Maegor's voice was still filled with rage, though he had decided on the right course of action he was about to take.

He took a step closer, invading her personal space once more, looking at her directly in the eyes.

"Did you have someone in mind that you think I will desire? Because you know as well as I do that there are very few women who can truly make me desire them..."

"Who knows.. perhaps we could host a ball?" Naerys asked with a tilted head. "I could introduce you to some ladies. Perhaps it will be fun."

"Very well, have your annullment for all I care. A ball, you say?" Maegor was intrigued. "And you would invite... a certain set of ladies?"

"Indeed, shall I arrange it?" She asked with another smile.

Maegor had a small grin on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were no longer filled with rage.

He thought to himself. Who knows? Maybe one of these ladies can truly ignite desire in me again. I'll have to wait and see.

Maegor then responded to Naerys. "You may arrange it, yes."

He then turned to his children. "What is it that you two want now?" He asked with a scowl.

Rhaella spoke up before Maegor the younger even had a chance to open his mouth.

"I was serious on the council. I would like to be granted an annulment from my brother. Papa, you must understand.. I do not love him. I fell in love with someone else and intend to wed him, if you may grant it." She looked at him with pleading eyes.

"Prince Viserys, you know, the late kings son, your nephew. We met during an argument between me and prince Maegor, during which I went to Pentos and.. he is so kind, so caring, so handsome.. he has not left my mind since I came back home. He already proposed to me, so all I ask is for your approval." She was almost in tears.

"Good, that's a good match actually."

He said, nodding his head. It was good that the soon to be ex weds hadn't done anything yet, Maegor could still annul the marriage without much backlash.

"You will be married to Prince Viserys, you have my blessing." The king then paused.

"But on one condition." He looked her in the eyes as he spoke, his tone suddenly became harsh.

"This is an annulment, not an outright divorce. This marriage never happened, no one will believe that it did once this is done. I expect you to stay as a maiden, and wait for us to organise a proper wedding. You are not to run off and have some pre-wedding escapade, you are to remain pure and stay a maiden until your wedding. Do I make myself clear?"

"As clear as the night, thank you father." She gave him a small hug, her life was finally starting.

Maegor was taken a bit by surprise at his daughter hugging him. He didn't mind it, but didn't want to show that he liked it or he was going to come across as weak. Nevertheless, he hugged back after a little pause, he would do anything to make his daughter happy. Even letting her marry his nephew he wished dead.

"And, you Maegor?" He then asked curiously.

"Nevermind." The prince responded. "I was about to ask you the very same thing the princess asked for."

"Very well." He sighed and turned back to Naerys. "The ball will be held one month from now, let's give some time for all those lovely ladies you'll be inviting to arrive. Do you think you can organize it all in time?"

"Got it, how about the very first moon of the new year?" She inquired.

"Yes, the very first moon of the new year will do. Invite as many ladies as you like, just make sure they are the most beautiful and desirable ladies of Westeros."

He then paused for a moment.

"I will see who is worthy of my presence and who is not. And perhaps, I will find a new wife among them."

"Shall we console Kathryn and Jaehaera about it? I would like to know if they are okay with you meeting other woman. Afterall, they're still your wives and mothers of of your children." Naerys asked, scared of their fury, especially Jaehaeras.

Maegor frowned at the mention of his other wives.

"This has nothing to do with those two, I do not require their permission. This ball was arranged so I could find a new wife, nothing more."

He paused for a moment. "If they have a problem with it, which I doubt, I will speak to them directly."

"Very well.. any particular maidens and houses you would not like to meet?" She inquired further.

Maegor thought for a moment.

"I do not want to meet any maidens from the Riverlands, Iron Islands, or Dorne. Other than that, feel free to mix and match however you please."

"Very well, only ladies from the Reach, Westerlands, Stormlands, Vale and North then." Naerys paused. "How about Essosi ladies?"

He considered it for a moment.

"Yes, invite some Essosi ladies as well. Let's see if any of them can catch my interest."

Maegor paused again. "I just one request."

"Invite women of all shapes and sizes, and with a diverse range of appearances, from different regions of Westeros, and Essos, if possible. Some of them may not be beautiful in the traditional sense, but I want to broaden my view of beauty."

He paused for a moment.

"After all, physical attraction is not the only kind of beauty in the world, and I do not want to limit myself simply to a certain type of woman."

"Nothing more for now. I trust you'll organize this ball perfectly, and invite the most beautiful maids and ladies of Westeros and Essos. You have my full permission to decide the rest of the details."

He then finished with a final statement.

"Very well then. One month from now, on the first moon of the new year. That will leave enough time for you to prepare. I fully trust you to put this ball together."
