[A/N: The story is 12 ahead over there (link in bio). The plan is to take it to 30 chapters since its meant to be super short. But if there's stuff I want to add and expand on, it will be more.
There's supposed to be a bit of drama here and there but at the end of the day, DaellaxVaelor is the focus so we'll do that.]
(Vaelor's POV)
"Mother, is this something you agree to?" I asked, "I don't know how I feel about this."
I was sitting down on the couch, holding a book as she was standing in front of a mirror as her servants were adjusting her dress and combing her hair. Apparently, there was some dinner that she and Father were going to host later tonight.
"Is there a problem?" She asked, "Your Father and I decided on this together. Lady Ellyn is a wonderful suitor for you, my son. You are young and are a dragonrider, she should be honored to marry a prince."
"She's also older than Aemon." I muttered
"Only by a single year, there is nothing to worry about." She said, "From what i hear, she is still a maiden."
"That's not my problem." I said, "But how would anyone know? She could be lying?"
"Are you to question her virtue, my Vaelor?" She turned around as the servants stepped to the side, "She is to be your wife. Did I teach you to be this rude when speaking to someone who will one day bear your children?"
I looked to the side, "Hmph....."
"This isn't like you, to be so.....grouchy about matters like these. That is more like Vaegon." Mother told me, "What is it you desire to speak about?"
"Nothing." I said
"Are you perhaps angry that you don't get to choose your bride?" She asked
"Something like that." I tapped the book with my finger, "I don't have time to worry about marriage. I don't feel like I am old enough to even bother thinking about it."
She walked over to me, giving me a slight smile, "You are not wrong." She said, "You are young. Very young. And I want nothing but the best for you, Vaelor. You are my son."
"If you want nothing but the best for me, you should give me the liberty of making my own choices." I said as I stood up and tried to walk past her, "Not forcing a marriage upon me."
She grabbed my shoulder, "Vaelor, wait."
I stopped, "What?"
She sighed and crouched down, patting my cheek, "I love you, you know that." She said with a smile, "I know this is not something you may not want at first, but give her a chance. I ask you to do that at least."
I looked to the side, "Tch...." I said, "Fine....."
She leaned in and kissed my cheek, "Now, I trust that you will behave and will not embarrass your betrothed." She said as she straightened up, "Can you do that?"
I nodded, "Sure....."
"Good boy." She ruffled my hair, "Lady Ellyn will spend some time at court, so do be sure to try and be present with her."
I sighed and walked towards the door, "As you wish." I said,
"I have no choice in that matter."

(Third Person POV)
"V-Vaelor.....is going to marry?" Daella said as she was sitting on Alyssa's couch, hugging a pillow as she had a sad look on her face, "When was this decided?"
Alyssa was sitting down on a chair, servants were combing her hair as well as adjusting her dress, "Quite recently." She said, "Lord Tyrell won the bidding war for Vaelor. His daughter will marry him soon. I think it is too fast, but I suppose we cannot really do much about it."
"Oh...." Daella said softly
"What is it?" Alyssa asked her
"I...." She started, "It is nothing...."
"Suitors will try to court you as well, but it is too early for you to marry." Alyssa told her, "Vaelor, being a Prince, is a different story. I am not sure if he's capable of becoming a Father so young. According to the Maesters, every boy is different. But I am sure House Tyrell will try to get their blood mixed with Targaryen Blood as quickly as possible."
Daella looked down, "I see...."
"You seem.....rather bothered by this news." Alyssa said with a frown, "Are you okay with this?"
"Vaelor.....I did not think he will marry soon...." She said softly, "W-When....."
"Hm?" Alyssa said as she waved the servants away, causing them to step back and look down, "What is it Daella?"
She stood up and walked over to her sister, who was getting tears in her eyes.
"If Vaelor marries...." Daella looked up at her, "Will I no longer be able to fly with him? What if he....stops speaking to me...."
Alyssa smiled warmly, "Oh, sweet Daella...." She said, "Vaelor is not that cruel. You are his sister; he loves you dearly. There is no doubt he will still speak to you."
"He called me a Little Flower....." Daella said, "I really liked those words.....he sounded very kind....I.....I enjoyed our time in the skies...."
Alyssa reached down for her cheek, "Daella...." She said softly, "Let me ask you a question."
"Yes?" She asked
"Are you in love with our brother?" Alyssa asked her
A tear rolled down Daella's cheek, the young girl looked up at her older sister, "I....." She said softly, "I think I am..."
"I see...." Alyssa said with a sad frown
"Vaelor....is not like Vaegon...." Daella looked down and wiped her tears away, "He does not think I am stupid. He does not look down on me. He actually likes me and he always speaks kindly....he is also brave.....and very gentle...."
Alyssa nodded, "Yes....that is true." She said, "Vaelor is not like Vaegon in the slightest."
"I thought that since Vaegon wanted to become a Maester, Father would betroth me to Vaelor...." She said softly, "But.....I suppose I was wrong about that..."
"Yes, that is what we thought as well." Alyssa sighed, "But I suppose we can be wrong sometimes. But worry not, sister. I am sure it will work out in the end."
"I hope so." Daella stood up and placed the pillow aside, "I think I am going to be in my chambers for the night...."
"I see." Alyssa said, "Baelon and I are required to be in this pointless dinner. I think Vaelor is going to be there too."
"I do wonder how he'll behave, haha."
