Pathetic, a failure, a horrid son

Aegon was many things and he was the ‘biggest disappointment’ in your life that's how it had always been or so aegon had assumed it was always like that but when whispers travelled around the red keep, rumours from others that when aegon was a babe you had adored him– loved him even it struck a curiosity in the drunkard prince’s heart and he found himself feeling compelled to look into it more and discover if you once held a nurturing and motherly love for the eldest son who seemed to upset you over and over again like a broken record on replay skipping all the good parts as if they were never there so aegon did some snooping finding his old clothes and toys alongside a painting portrait as aegon had known you were young when wedded to his father but not that young the youthful features compared to the sunken and ageful appearance of his father which seems to have worsened over the many years of your marriage shocked aegon so he took the painting hanging it in his room but he kept his fathers part covered only wanting the sight of you in a red maternity gown pregnant with helaena and holding a two or one year old him on your hip

it was almost mesmerising, the sight of his mother holding him which is how aegon found himself sat in his bed chambers quietly staring at the portrait without a single word even as maids come in and out to clean shuffling around the heir of the realm awkwardly the tension they feel only added by the fact a whore slept in the bed beside where aegon sits a sight that would have you fuming at him like he has just slaughtered half seven kingdoms with his dragon sunfyre

“She was beautiful..” Aegon states, more to himself than it is towards the maids who seem hurried as they know you’ll be arriving soon no doubt to scold aegon for sneaking out the red keep
