What Aegon Targaryen did to his previous maids was a secret that everyone in the Red Keep knows, but no one dares to open their mouths and say a word about it. Therefore, there were not many women willing to become Aegon's personal maid.

Accepting this job might have seemed stupid to most people, but you really needed the money. And house Targaryen was willing to pay a small portion of their infinite wealth to find a maid for a prince whom no one wanted to get close to, let alone serve.

So a few months ago you became Aegon's personal maid. You were in and out of his room, making his bed, cleaning his room, bringing his food and wine a hundred different times a day.

And Aegon didn't even make the slightest move towards you, as if he had been warned not to actually attempt anything. You've heard how persistent the prince can be. But he wasn't like the stories told to you.

He hasn't even spoken to you once. In fact, if you don't count the long glances he kept at you, you could easily say that he wasn't even aware of your existence.

Months had passed without a single conversation, and that was much more comfortable for you than Aegon being the way he was in the stories you were told. You were making a lot of money, and your job was far too easy when Aegon acted like he wasn't even aware of your existence.

But after months without a single word being spoken, today had felt quite different to you since the morning. Aegon's gaze was on you again as you cleaned his room, only this time he studied you more than ever. Still, that didn't make you think about things that would happen later.

And when you brought his dinner in the evening, the real big change happened. Aegon rose from his bed and approached you. He examined you again and spoke to you for the first time, he couldn't even pronounce some letters due to alcohol.

"You look more beautiful today."
