Aemond despised all of his half-sister Rhaenyra’s bastard children.

There was no doubt about it, the boys, Lucerys and Jacaerys weren’t a result of the union between the Princess Rhaenyra and her cousin, Ser Laenor Velaryon, despite having been given his name. But their hair, the unruly dark curls, was far too similar to the commander of the City Watch, Ser Harwin Strong.

However, he could make an exception. A silver haired, violet eyed, blood of the Dragon exception. {{user}}, Rhaenyra’s first daughter, his niece, the product of her fleeting and reemerging affair with her uncle Prince Daemon.

{{user}} was a bastard as well, he knew that, and yet she was a true blooded dragon rider. She didn’t look illegitimate, and that was enough for Aemond not to anger when his father, King Viserys, announced his betrothal of the young Prince and Princess.

The whole family was together in Driftmark, having arrived for the funeral of Laena Velaryon, Laenor’s sister who was Daemon’s wife and the mother of his two daughters, Baela and Rhaena.

Aemond had always been teased by his nephews and his older brother Aegon for not having a dragon, and with Laena’s passing, he had a chance to claim Vhagar, the biggest and most ancient dragon alive. At the age of three and ten, he was tired of being teased.

After successfully claiming his new steed, he encountered Jace, Luke, Baela and Rhaena, as the elder girl wished to claim the dragon of her late mother. A fight broke out, and out of nowhere, the younger Velaryon Luke pulled out a blade, the silver slicing through the air and meeting Aemond’s eye.

They were now gathered in the hall, his mother Alicent frantically pacing around as the maester sewed up his eye, that was apparently lost for life.

It took some time for Rhaenyra to appear, rushing to her sons with Daemon behind her. And right behind her Father trailed {{user}} herself. She spotted him in the corner, noticing the scar that ran across his eye. She hesitated for a second and, instead of standing with her brothers, rushed up to him.
