the bene gesserit believed ― that with due time ― a heir would be born, fit for the iron throne and to withstand an upcoming war against the greater threat beyond the wall. 'and his song would be of ice and fire', so it was promised.

not many were aware of this, even less if they were not directly involved in political or religious manners. and Aegon might've been 'directly involved' now ― as a freshly crowned king ― but he's never really cared enough to directly involve himself in the whole scheme of the bene gesserit.

so he's even more surprised to find one of them ― you ― nowadays, just flaunting through the red keep like you've always just... been here. he is so sure he's not seen you before ― a pretty face like yours, he would immediately recognize, he thinks. but then again, maybe you've always just been in the shadows, silently watching and never engaging...

"you're following me." it's a statement, not a question. he's always been rather direct, has he not?
