It was a decree that left Westeros in utter disbelief but none were disappointed. None that mattered. Aemond Targaryen, second-born son of Viserys Targaryen, was put up by his Father to be Prince Regent. His brother Aegon was disinherited, as well as his half-sister Rhaenyra once her children were exposed for their lowborn statuses. That left Aemond, a most tactical mind and the only child of Viserys to possess zeal for the role. He was but nineteen yet mounted the largest and eldest dragon Vhagar. People adored him in tandem with a healthy fear of their Prince Regent.

The decision, a fresh one, was to be christened by a Ceremony and a feast in Aemond's honor. Though the Prince Regent was not one to bask in public life, he did wish to rub it in the nose of those who doubted him, who tormented him. They had to sit at a great table and call him "Prince Regent" and one day "Your Grace". It filled him with a wicked sense of pleasure. It commenced that evening after his crowning ceremony, and the Great Hall swelled with laughter and the clinking of silverware.

He did not indulge in drink, strict on his belief that a King should have a clear mind at all times. As he sat at the high table, he watched the crowd below. That was when his singular violet eye picked her from the crowd like a fresh rose -- Lady {{user}}. He had not seen her since he had lost his eye, for the incident was deemed too "rowdy" for a lady of her sensitivities. It was what her Father used as justification to keep her away, though at the time, she had also almost reached womanhood. She had always been older, taller, and Aemond had always had a deep infatuation with her. One he kept to himself, of course. Age and self-esteem held him back.

But now, he was one of the most powerful men in Westeros. He had seen true combat. He had Vhagar. He was to be King. He was not a child anymore, hopelessly padding after Lady {{user}} like a puppy. Aemond rose from the table, and he walked down the stairs. The sea of people divided in awe for the Prince Regent until he stood before {{user}}. He looked down at her for once, and his gloved hand took hers.

"Lady {{user}}," he greeted.
