Elyana was not happy to find out that Aemond's half sister and her nephews were expected to arrive to King's Landing. It all happened way faster than she would have liked, within a day's time they had announced their visit to the capital to stand trial for the Driftmark seat. Which was stupid. The seat should be passed to a true Velaryon, not a bastard boy. Aemond had said and obviously she believed him.

Aemond was on edge since his mother announced his half sister's visit since it would be the first time he would see them in years since that night. Elyana could feel his turmoil, even when he tried acting nonchalantly and indifferent. He spent his days flying or training harder than he should be, and Elyana worried for him.

She was brushing his hair for the night, detangling it after he had a long day of riding Vhagar with Aegon. She ran her fingers through his silky hair and then passed the brush through it gently and tenderly. She took care of him, and she loved it. Aemond watched his wife through the mirror, still in awe that she was there and that she was his and no one else's. Even after six moons of being married, he was still baffled that he had won.

"You are so beautiful. What good deed did I do to deserve such a woman in my life?" Aemond asked, making Elyana blush instantly and profusely. "I do not know but it must have been a real good one." She chuckled and dropped the brush in the vanity. Aemond turned around with a smirk, resting his hands on her hips.

He leaned foward, and due to his seated position, nuzzled his head in between her breasts. He took a deep breath and looked up to his peace. His one and only. His lifeline. Elyana looked down at him with soft eyes and a small smile, mesmerized by the being in front of her. Her fingers ran gently through his hair as she admired her husband's beauty. She could never get enough of him.

With his eye fixed on her he tore open her nightgown, exposing her breasts and swollen belly to the night air. Elyana breathed in, already aching for her husband. "Look at you. So beautiful and so full with my child..." He whispered and leaned down, pressing a soft kiss to her belly.

She smiled and took a breath, moving to straddle him in the seat. Aemond smirked because he knew what she wanted. He stood up, carrying her to their bed easily and laying her down gently on it. He sighed and took the view in before he ripped off his night pants, revealing his already hardened cock to his wife. "So eager, husband?" She teased as she watched his hand move to stroke his member. She was salivating at the scene.

"Always eager to feel you around me." Aemond smirked and pushed open her legs wide for him, positioning himself right in the middle. He teased the tip of his cock over her entrance, gliding it between her folds gently and then with one swift push, he was engulfed in her sex. He moaned and threw his head back, thanking the gods for his wife.

Elyana moaned slightly as she felt his throbbing cock glide in and out of her sex gently. "Harder, Aemond." She whined, gripping the bedsheets beneath her. Her back arched when she felt his cock slamming into her like she liked it, and it only made him smirk.

"You're a greedy one for cock, aren't you? You love being fucked into oblivion..." He chuckled, his eye tearing into her own as he fucked her pretty. He leaned into her, keeping himself up with one hand and bringing the other to her neck. "My good fucking girl. Tell me who I am." Aemond ordered as his motions began more sloppy and erratic.

"You are my King."

Aemond did not get up to train at the usual time he would the next day. Elyana knew why. His family was set to get there on that very day. She had been laying upon his chest, tracing small stars over his skin as he looked up at the canopy. "You have to go down to training." Elyana told her husband in a soft hum.

"Why? I am good right here with you." He yawned, looking down at her with a small smile. Elyana sighed and shook her head. "You don't want to go because of your family, right?" Elyana asked, and Aemond remained quiet.

"Love... come on. You can not possibly be scared to face them." Elyana spoke, and this made Aemond shoot up in his bed angrily. "I am not scared of those bastards." He spat, making her raise a brow.

"Good. Then get up and get dressed for training. Look at you, darling. You are no longer the dragonbane kid that they could bully and push around for their entertainment. You are now the rider of the grandest dragon in the world. The best swordman I have ever seen... those bastards have nothing on you." Elyana ranted, much to Aemond's happiness. Nothing made him feel better than knowing that his wife was by his side.

"Can't I stay here with my wife and son?" He asked, making Elyana raise a brow at him. "Son? Oh gods, do not tell me you are one of those men that get upset if they do not have sons the first time around." Elyana scoffed, pulling away from Aemond and standing up from the bed to get dressed.

"I would not be upset for it, but I would prefer a son for my own reasons." He shrugged and stretched his arms over his head with a yawn. Elyana frowned and crossed her arms over her chest. "What reasons? You're a second son, our child will be way down the line of succession." Elyana stated, making Aemond roll his one eye.

"Tis funny that you reckon that is my reason." He answered as he moved to also dress himself for the day.

"I do not see any other. I am not going to be a vessel for your schemes, Aemond. So whatever you are planning, just know I will not put my life in danger for it. And my child shall mot be a part of it." Elyana stated as she plucked a dress from her wardrobe.

"Gods, I thought I fucked the attitude out of you last night." He chuckled as he began putting on his pants for the day, and when he saw the angry expression on her face he said, "I jest."

"You are not a good jester so stop it." She hissed and set down her dress in the bed.

"If you must know, my schemes would be rather beneficial for you. So I do suggest you calm down." Aemond stated, and that only served to anger her.

"Aemond Targaryen, you tell me right now why you are so fixed on a son or I swear to the go-" He cut her off.

"Sh..." He shushed her with a smirk, and this made her throw her shoes at him. He laughed and shook his head. His wife was so easily angered, so ill-tempered. "Do not shush me!" She snapped.

"Twas a surprise but since you are so insufferable on this day, I will tell you. I got my grandsire to let me buy some lands. There was an abandoned keep in the Crownlands, north of Claw Isle. I plan to restore it and install House Rotchamsey." He explained as if it was the easiest, most obvious scheme in the world.

"What?" Elyana asked in shock. He was surely jesting.

"Well yes... we already paid off your debt. I figured we could build something for our children, and honor your father in the process. I promised you I would not let your House die out." He was smirking to save his life, because he knew Elyana would be more than thrilled with this.

"Aemond... you fucking cunt! Why didn't you tell me anything?!" She rushed to him and swatted his arm, making him frown. "Try again." He smiled cheekily. Elyana rolled her eyes, yet she could not help the smile that overtook her face.

"I fucking love you... I can not believe you're doing this for me!" She squealed and wrapped her arms around his torso more than tightly. Aemond sighed and hugged her back, resting his chin on the top of her head.

"I would be happy with you birthing anything. Even a goat as long as it is yours. But a son would be must beneficial..." Aemond explained, the  Elyana sighed and pulled away from their hug.

"But what if we have a girl? I know sons are mostly the lords but look at Lady Jeyne Arryn... it could happen." Elyana mused and Aemond nodded.

"We will make do with whichever. I promise. And I will never push for more children unless you ask for them. You are not a vessel for my schemes. You are the love of my life, until the end of times." Elyana blushed at his words and then shook her head.

"You're always pouring honey into my ear." She chuckled as did he. He planted a soft kiss to her forehead and sighed. His disdain for his family was now in the back of his mind.

"Now go train. Lucia has to come in here to get me dressed for today." Elyna ordered and he complied, planting a kiss to her lips then grabbing his weapons to head down to the courtyard.

Elyana watched him leave and smiled, wondering how she got so lucky.

-

"He fucks like a rabbit." Lucia stated, making Elyana shake her head in disbelief at the troubling news. "You are sure?" Elyana asked the lady, who nodded her head.

"I swear it. I heard he put it in Corryne Lannister. And in three castle wenchs." Lucia whispered as the pair passed two lords, who curtsied at Elyana as she passed them by. "Conrad? You are sure Conrad Lothston, my sworn knight, is fucking his way through the castle? That skinny boy?" Elyana asked in disbelief.

"I swear it! I can see it. He looks the part. All skinny and scrawny and then in bed he probably fucks like a lion or a dragon. Mayhaps I shall take him for a ride." Lucia chuckled, making Elyana roll her eyes.

"You're sure you want to share cock with a Lannister?" Elyana laughed, making Lucia laugh too. But Elyana stopped her giggling when the pair ran into Erryk and her old friend, Dyana. The girl was crying uncontrollably, and Erryk looked pissed as he escorted her through the castle.

"Dyana?" Elyana asked as she passed her by, and the servant girl stopped her walking and turned to Elyana. "What is wrong?" Elyana asked her, a concerned expression on her face as she moved to the serving girl.

"Tis a personal matter of the crown, Elyana. Come on. Move." Erryk ordered Dyana, but Elyana grabbed her wrist to keep her from leaving.

"It is Lady Elyana to you, Ser Erryk." Lucia rolled her eyes and then looked back to the distraught servant. "I am part of the crown, Erryk. Or did you perhaps forget I married Prince Aemond?" Elyana asked bitterly, making Erryk shake his head in disbelief.

"Dyana, why are you crying? What is wrong?" Elyana asked once more. She had barely mantained her friendship with Dyana when she was crowned Princess Consort, but she would never forget the kindness Dyana showed her when everyone else thought her a whore. Elyana would always show Dyana kindness back.

"I-It..." Dyana looked at Erryk, who raised his brow and gave her a stern look. As if telling her to shut up. "Somebody tell me in this instant why Dyana is bawling her eyes out and why she is being escorted away?" Elyana ordered, yet they remained silent.

"Dyana... I am your friend. But I am not asking as your friend. I am asking as your superior. What happened?" Elyana asked sternly, getting angry at their lack of telling her. Maybe she could help her.

"You should already know what happened to her. After all you know the princes better than anyone, do you not?" Erryk asked, and when Elyana looked at Dyana, she looked away.

"What does that mean?" Elyana asked with furrowed brows.

"It means that she was ruined. But not everyone is like you. Not everyone wants to be ruined. And not everyone gets lucky and gets married into the royal family." Erryk spoke, and instantly Elyana knew what had happened.

"You're taking her away?" Elyana asked in disbelief. Aegon had raped Dyana. And now she was being sent away.

"What do you expect from this family? You know them well. You fell in love with their cruelty."
