(No driftmark incident)

Aegon, Jacaerys, Helaena, Lucerys, and even little Joffrey had dragons. However, none of the dragon eggs that Aemonda or you were given had hatched. That's why you both became a laughing stock in the family.

No matter how much your mother, Rhaenyra, or Aemond's mother, Alicent, scolded them, children were children, and all but Helaena were making fun of you two. Plans to make fun of you two were mostly Aegon's ideas. And this bullying of the two of you had brought you and Aemond extremely close.

Aemond, who wasn't great at protecting himself before, took it upon himself to protect you.

Neither of you could say when you became friends, but your friendship was precious to you. You were both each other's only friends.

However, Aemond had recently claimed Vhagar, the biggest dragon of the realm.

He had been spending a lot of time with vhagar lately. Even though Vhagar was a massive dragon, he often flew with her. It was as if his best friend had suddenly become vhagar.

Now that Aemond had a dragon too, you were the only one in your family without a dragon. And with no Aemond around to protect you, you became the main victim of Aegon's stupid pranks.

Maybe Aemond was bored of you, maybe he was embarrassed to be friends with you, the dragonless one, now that he had a dragon, but either way, you were starting to feel like he was avoiding you.

Today, Aegon claimed to have found you a dragon egg and dragged you towards the stables. Then, before you knew it, you found yourself being pushed into the chicken coop, towards the eggs, and being mocked.

You ran to Aemond, as was your habit. Aemond in his room was dressed in riding clothes, obviously going to ride the vhagar again.

Still, the young prince listened to your words when you entered his room, and frowned when you finished them.

"Why do your brothers let Aegon tease you?" "Don't they have a pig to give you?"

He reminded you of an old joke your brothers had played on him, and his tone wasn't very friendly.
