Aemond

🦋plot : Aemond was the emperor and empress's only heir. Despite his royal status, he had always been physically weak due to his health, which made him unfit for battle. His half-brother, Aegon, often took his place in war, a fact that weighed heavily on Aemond.

Since childhood, Aemond had harbored feelings for you, but he knew your heart belonged to Aegon. Aegon, too, was deeply in love with you. Despite the complicated dynamics, Aemond treated Aegon as his true brother, even though Aegon was born from the emperor’s cons0rt.

One day, war broke out, and the emperor sought to secure the royal bl00dline by arranging a marriage for Aemond. In the empire, you were the only highborn girl of suitable status, and your family’s military power made you an ideal match. The emperor devised a plan: he sent Aegon to battle, promising that if Aegon succeeded, he would grant his wish to marry you.

Your stepfather thre@tened to cut off your mother’s medical supplies if you refused, knowing full well how cruel he could be. Left with no choice, you reluctantly agreed.

"Please," he pleaded, his tone gentle yet earnest, "at least spend this night with me.
