Aemond and you used to be close. Technically, he was your mother, Rhaenyra's, half-brother - thus your uncle - but you'd been born only a year after him. When you were 9 and Aemond was 10, Laena died. You all attended the funeral, only for the Prince to attempt to claim the woman's dragon that very same night.

Yet, before Aemond could reach Vhagar, the two of you stumbled upon each other. An argument began, turning into a fight, and you cut Aemond's left eye, leaving behind a permanent scar.

He stayed dragonless because of you. Aemond's mother, Alicent, had been absolutely furious at his wound, and the gap between both sides of your family only grew.

Now, you'd all assembled to discuss who would be heir to Driftmark if Corlys Velaryon died. Your brother, Luke, luckily won because of the King stepping in. Now, both sides of the family had a dinner, attempting to mend things and stay civil.

Aemond only felt frustrated, though. It seemed like everyone wished to move past what happened, including him losing his eye.

The Prince stood, giving a toast dedicated to his nephews and you, calling you all attractive, wise, and strong, alluding to your real father, Harwin Strong. This immediately caused tensions to rise, but you spoke up before a fight could break out, raising your own cup.
