Chapter 12 - Party

(Third Person POV)

That night, there was a party that was hosted by the King and Lord Corlys in the Red Keep, celebrating the return of Ser Laenor Velaryon. After several months of fighting on the Stepstones, representing House Targaryen and House Velaryon, he had finally returned. 

The King and his wife, Queen Alicent Hightower, were present at the main table, feasting and drinking wine. Alicent was rather indifferent to the festivities, merely speaking to a Lady who was sitting next to her as King Viserys was laughing with his fellow lords at the table. 

Lord Corlys and his son, Laenor, were in the middle of the hall, laughing as they shared war stories to other fellow Lords and Knights. 

As this happened, Laenor's wife, Princess Rhaenyra walked up to the group, "Husband." she called, "A word." 

Laenor saw her and cleared his throat, "Y-Yes..." He said as he looked at his father, "Let me excuse myself, father." 

"Go ahead, son." Corlys said as he drank from his cup

Laenor stepped to the side, and Rhaenyra gestured him over, "What is it?" He asked as they walked towards a table, "I have to say, thank you for pulling me from that conversation. I would have gotten too drunk there..." 

Rhaenyra reached a table where Lady Selene was sitting, speaking to some other young ladies. As soon as they stopped, the ladies stood up and bowed slightly, out of respect for the Princess. 

"Laenor, this is Lady Selene." Rhaenyra said as she gestured at her, "Prince Aegor's wife. You missed the wedding." 

"Oh." Laenor said, "It is a pleasure to meet you, Lady Selene. I do apologize for missing out such an important event. Prince Aegor is quite the individual, is he not?" 

Lady Selene nodded with a warm smile, "Thank you, Ser Laenor." She said softly, "My husband is quite the man, I must say." 

"He may be quite young but he is a capable warrior." Laenor said, "I have a couple of stories about how he cut in half this one Triarch-" 

"Laenor." Rhaenyra cleared her throat

Laenor chuckled, "Right, sorry." He said, "I apologize." 

"No, it is fine." Selene said

"It was nice meeting you, Lady Selene." Laenor said, "I hope that you and Prince Aegor do well together." 

Rhaenyra pulled him along by the arm, "Alright, let us go." 

As they walked away from the table, Laenor looked around, "Where is Prince Aegor, anyways?" 

"I saw him walk away from the table and leave the hall with Daemon." Rhaenyra said, "Something is going on with them." 

"I always thought they hated each other." Laenor said, "But seeing them get along is quite strange." 

"It is." Rhaenyra said as she pulled him along to the side, "Listen, we have to speak." 

Laenor nodded, taking a sip of his cup, "You don't have to tell me." He said, "I've noticed how Ser Harwin has been staring at you all night. Did something happen between the two of you?" 

"Nothing." She said

"Hm, his look says otherwise." He muttered

"No, I meant that Nothing has been happening." Rhaenyra said

"Oh." Laenor said, "Well.....that is...interesting." 

"It is much more complicated." Rhaenyra whispered, "We might be in trouble." 

"W-What do you mean?" Laenor asked, a bit concerned, "Trouble? Us? The two of us?" 

"It is very dangerous to speak about it here." Rhaenyra said, "But I promise you, we will speak about it later." 

"Right...." Laenor said, "Well, whatever it is-" 

"Ser Laenor!" Aegor approached the two of them

Laenor turned to see Aegor walking up to him with a slight smile, "Oh, if it isn't Prince Aegor!" He said as the two hugged, "It has been quite some time, cousin. I apologize for missing out on your wedding." 

"It is fine." Aegor said as he pulled away, "I do miss burning Triarchy scum along with my favorite cousin, though." 

Rhaenyra stiffened up slightly, looking down awkwardly as the two did this.

"Haha!" Laenor laughed, "You are right about that. Well, the fighting has eased down, allowing me to return home finally." 

"Yes." Aegor said as he turned to the side, "Have you met my wife, Lady Selene?" 

"Oh yes. She's lovely, Aegor." Laenor said with a smile

"Oh, I would like for you to meet some men I met while training a few days ago." Aegor stepped to the side, "Jon, Tristan, come over." 

Jon and another young Knight walked up to them, bowing down slightly. Laenor saw Jon and immediately faltered, gulping down slightly as he straightened up. 

"It is good to meet you, Ser Laenor." Tristan said, who had brown hair and blue eyes, "I've heard all about you. A Dragonrider and a warrior, it is quite admirable." 

"Right...." Laenor said, "Pleasure to meet you." 

Aegor gestured at Jon, "Jon here has been enlisted to be a Velaryon Knight while you were away." He said, "He claimed to be a rather skilled swordsman, so I put that to the test myself. He's good, but not better than me." 

"Of course." Jon said with a slight smile, "Prince Aegor is a force to be reckoned with." 

"Prince Aegor." Rhaenyra spoke up, "A word." 

"Ah." Aegor said with a slight smirk, "My beloved cousin desires to speak to me about something. The three of you can get acquainted. I know Tristan loves a good war story, Laenor, entertain him." 

Aegor and Rhaenyra stepped to the side and she gripped his arm tightly. 

"What in the seven hells do you think you are doing?" Rhaenyra whispered, "In front of everyone? Are you mad?!" 

"Hey now." Aegor pulled away from her, "What are you doing? Touching me like that in public. My wife might see you, Rhaenyra." 

"What is your plan here, Aegor?" Rhaenyra asked, "Are you mad?" 

Aegor leaned down and whispered to her ear, "I want to get you nice and angry, hot enough for my cock to penetrate you roughly later." I told her, "You want that, don't you?" 

Rhaenyra scowled as she stepped away, "You are sick in the head." 

Aegor placed his hands behind his back, "Don't worry about a thing." I said, "Nothing will happen while your father is present. But when he decides to call it a night and your Uncle moves the party to the private wing, well....." 

"You...." Rhaenyra said

Aegor gave her a slight smile, "I will see you later, cousin." He said with a chuckle, "Allow me to spend some time with my wife." 

"She is very beautiful at the moment."
