Lowborn!Aemond x Highborn!Reader

Summary: You are the daughter of Prince Daemon and a close friend of Prince Aegon who, like your father, is notorious for sneaking off to the streets of flea bottom. The one time you decide to join him on his nightly endeavours, you run into a charming yet mysterious someone who’s as beautiful as the sapphire that’s replaced one of his eyes.

Now a year later after the both of you went your separate ways, it would seem like the goodbyes you both exchanged were not permanent.

Warnings: none.

part 1, part 2, part 3

Part 4 [final chapter]

Aemond felt that Ashai seemed to be dull in comparison to King's Landing but then again he sensed that it was simply because he was presently a bit down after having to say goodbye to his princess.

Stop it, he scolded himself, you knew this was going to happen the moment you dared to fall for her.

Still, it had been well over a few months since he'd made his arrival to this new town and it was bothersome that he still felt for you the same way he did when he first kissed you.

Aemond had taken up a proper job this time, instead of resorting to his regular ways of stealing. He had started out as a chimney sweep for a Barron; Robert, a widower, who lived further down the harbour in a lavish manor. Then later he'd been given the job to read to the older man since he was a bit short-sighted. Eventually, Robert began to treat Aemond like a son, even though he had one of his own. He had Aemond dine at the table with him and his boy. The baron and his son weren’t as close and with the man taking a liking toward Aemond, it only increased the animosity between father and son.

Robert had then begun to take Aemond's input regarding his business of wine and Aemond was happy to give insights, which proved to be beneficial to the business. Aemond was granted access to the manor's library and he spent his spare time reading. He began to take an interest in history, particularly the Targaryen dynasty. Of course, it had nothing to do with you.

Aemond was well aware of the fights that arose between Robert and his son on his account and had many times considered leaving but the Baron told him to ignore his boy. Finally there came a day when the Baron's son wanted to make a life of his own, away from this small town. He took whatever wealth he needed and left, leaving the Baron quiet heart broken.

"Aemond" Robert called for the boy who was sitting in the library but a few feet away from him "come here son"

Aemond put away his book, slightly annoyed that he was interrupted when he was getting to the best part. He was reading about this war dragon, Vhagar.

"Yes, sir?" he politely asked as he sat in a chair across from the older man.

"I have no wife, and now it would seem that my son has left as well" he spoke in a calm voice "my business has been doing well as of late, I suppose I have to thank you for some of your suggestions"

"I was happy to help" Aemond smiled.

"Yes, and it would seem that the royal family too has much appreciation for my wine," he said rather proudly "They wish to serve it at a grand feast they’re having at the end of this month, a feast to which I have received an invite. How would you like to go with me, as my heritor"

"Uh.. I-" Aemond was at a loss for words. Was he truly considering taking him to the royal feast?

"I'm getting old and more weak by the day, I need someone to take on my business and carry my name after I have passed" he went on "Someone who is equally just as involved with the winery as I have been"

"That is quiet an honour, sir" Aemond subtlety pinched his arm to make sure he wasn’t dreaming.

"First off, we need to buy you something better to wear. Maybe something that might catch the eye of the princess Y/N"

"Princess Y/N" Aemond's heart skipped a beat at the mention of your name "she-she'll be at the feast?"

"Of course she'll be at the feast, it's been arranged for her to begin with," Robert said as a matter-of-factly "Oh you don’t know about the details of the feast do you?"

Aemond only nodded in confusion.

"It is a gathering for the princess to find herself a suitor"

As excited as Aemond was for the feast, he felt just as much nervous. The boy felt like a fish out of water. He had never stepped foot inside the castle and once he found himself in the midst of nobles, he immediately felt out of place. And it did not help when people constantly kept turning to stare at him and his eye patch, it made him even more self-conscious.

"Don’t fidget" Robert whispered and Aemond immediately stopped fiddling with the buttons at the cuff of his sleeve.

The hall in which the feast was being held was rather spacious and Aemond immediately felt so small.

"I'll only be a moment" Robert told him before he wandered off to find the king and the queen, to thank them for the invite, leaving a rather nervous Aemond amidst the sea of nobles.

You were seated at the large table next to Aegon. You huffed a sigh as you slouched in your chair and Aegon snickered at the sight.

"You have a room full of suitable husbands and this is how you spend the evening?" he raised a brow as he playfully nudged you "you should feel lucky you get to pick who you marry, a privilege I was not granted sadly"

"I hardly call this a privilege" you scoffed in response, reaching for your goblet of wine "all these men are here only because of my title. Besides, I did not wish to get married so soon"

"Remember when we were children, we promised each other that if we didn’t find a partner, we'd marry each other" Aegon chuckled at the memory "gods, we were so naïve"

You smiled softly as you took a sip of your wine. Things were so much simpler when you were younger. All you had to worry about that time was which dress you'd wear for the day.

You lazily looked around and almost choked on the wine you were drinking. You immediately spat it back into the cup, not caring how improper that was of you.

"Are you alright?" Aegon asked with concern, patting your back as you began to cough.

"I'm fine" you responded in a strained voice before you quickly stood up, your chair screeching against the stone floor as you pushed it backwards. You left the table in a hurry, not bothering to say an 'excuse me' before you walked toward the crowd of nobles.

"Finally" Aegon sighed, thinking that at last you decided to go and actually talk with the men who had come with hopes of being betrothed to you.

You did not care about them. No, a certain someone with an eye patch, who was looking around like a lost puppy had caught your eye instead.

You were unsure at first, if it was truly him. What would he be doing at the Red keep? He was in Ashai to your knowledge or maybe he had left for Dorn, where he'd told you his younger sister was staying ever since she joined the sisters of the faith. Still, there was an ounce of hope that maybe, just maybe, it was him.

"Aemond?" you called out, expecting no reaction from the boy who was curiously looking around as he fidgeted with his sleeves.

To your surprise, he turned at the mention of his name, his blue eye meeting yours.

You froze, as if you'd seen a ghost or worse: as if you were dreaming. Your breath hitched in your throat and by the looks of it, even Aemond seemed stunned.

"What are you-"

"How have you-"

The both of you spoke at the same time and immediately, a soft chuckle escaped your lips. Aemond only smiled, allowing you to speak first.

"You're here" you simply stated, taking a step toward him and Aemond instinctively responded by holding out his hand for you to take, just like how he always would when the both of you met in secret.

"I am" his voice came out in a whisper when he felt you slip your hand into his.

Your eyes darted from his face toward his neck and you reached out with your other hand to gently examine what caught your attention. Aemond drew a sharp breath when he felt your cool fingers graze against the skin of his neck as you touched the piece of jewellery he wore. It was a simple silver chain with a small ring dangling from it. Your ring.

"You still have it" the corners of your lips turned up to form a smile.

"Of course" he looked down adoringly at you as he tried to pinch himself to make sure this was real, a gesture that you happened to catch.

"I'm here" you assured as you gently caressed his cheek, right below his scar and Aemond tilted his head a bit to further press his cheek into your palm.

"How did you.." you wanted to asked him how he entered but you knew it sounded rude. By the way he was dressed, in a sharp formal attire, there was a chance he was accompanied by someone "Who are you here with?"

"Oh, the Baron of Ashai, Robert" he told you, momentarily looking away to find him in the crown but to no avail. He turned to look at you again "He's the one who is supplying wine for the feast"

"You're with the Baron?" You repeated, a bit shocked "he mentioned he was here with his son"

"Ah well, he sort of-" Aemond heaved a nervous sigh "he's named me his heritor. I must admit, him calling me his son is a touch overwhelming"

"So that means you’re a Barron" You asked to which Aemond responded with a shy grin. Gods you had missed his smile.

"Man with a title" he looked down at you with a playful smirk "something I recall being of some sort of importance when it comes to courting you"

You bit your lip to control your girlish giggle but it didn’t work; Aemond never failed to make you laugh.

"I take it you are hoping to win my hand?" you asked with the same amount of playfulness to which Aemond simply shrugged, pretending at first that he didn’t care which only made you giggle more to his reaction.

"Will kissing you help me being named victor?" he asked slyly and you rolled your eyes at his playful demeanour.

"It most certainly will" you smiled but quickly placed your finger on his lips when he leaned closer. You went to whisper in his ear when you saw confusion flash across his face. He clearly did not know of the mannerisms one had to follow at court and that was alright, you were patient enough to tell him about each one "not here. It would give rise to quite a scandalous rumour"

"Oh" he cleared his throat "apologies, I thought that since-"

"It's alright" you assured him with a gentle squeeze of his hand "come, I have to introduce you to my kepa"

"Kepa?" Aemond asked as he followed you.

"My father" you translated "he's at the table with the rest of my family"

"Oh your family" Aemond felt the nerves getting to him again. He did not know if he would manage to maintain his calm composure in front of the King and the Queen "m-must I meet them?"

"It is a requirement if you wish to court me" you playfully nudged him "don’t worry, they're not as intimidating as they seem. Besides, you do have to speak to them at some point if you wish to discuss a possible betrothal"

"I- I can ask for your hand in marriage?" Aemond had never been more grateful for his title and suddenly seemed to be a touch more eager than yourself to meet your family.

As you walked, you turned to look at him and without thinking you leaned toward him and kissed his cheek, catching him by surprise.

"Thought you said kissing was off limits for now" he grinned.

"I think an innocent kiss to the cheek is alright" you smirked up at him to which Aemond chuckled in response.

The both of you walked toward you family, laughing joyously, hand in hand.

Part Thirty-Nine

Summary:  Baldwin Montclair had a string of ex girlfriends, a single child, and a  lifetime longer than most people could dream of to make all kinds of  mistakes. His family knew one which kept coming out of the woodwork to  irritate him every other century.

Also on AO3

'We should build in contingencies for when this madness ends,' said Martin.

The other delegates had broken off, each claiming an administration room within the palace for themselves. Philippe had, of course, picked the most spacious one for himself; a broad fireplace, sturdy wooden chairs and large windows with a clear view of the city.

'You think it ever will?' Gerbert sneered.

'The humans can hardly hate us forever.'

'Wait and see.'

'In the meantime, how long should we lead for?' Philippe interrupted, brandishing a quill.

'One hundred years' said Gerbert.

'Witches may live that long, but not daemons' Martin pointed out.

'Seventy years' said Philippe.

Martin raised an eyebrow. 'Do you want an infirm daemon making decisions? Fifty years. The better part of a life, with room for a second term if they prove particularly long-lived.'

'They should be allowed to serve terms back to back,' Gerbert said through a smile.

'But only after being sworn in officially a second time.' Martin added.

Philippe took notes through argument and counter-argument.

'-all creatures are to abstain from achieving positions of authority within religious orders whereby they can shape religious doctrine or practise?'

'What?' Gerbert demanded.

Martin glared at him. 'I refuse to stage another false funeral for you because you want to be Pope. I have not the strength.'

'Which leads us into-' Philippe checked his list of suggestions. '-"All creatures will refuse any honour above the lowest rank accorded a man of state".'

'A baron' Gerbert sat back hard in his chair.

'Do you mean to tell me this will limit your political machinations?' Martin scoffed with a grin.

________________________________________________________________

The witches were surprisingly accommodating. They had been open to the idea of a one hundred year seat, with back to back terms, and made no fuss about religious isolationism.

'We will, of course, concede to the majority,' Jean de Villiers inclined his head towards the rest of the room. He was sitting beside Irakli, a witch from Sakartvelo, and Quincey Toussaint, another Frenchman. 'A fifty year term. Now, we do have some suggestions of our own.'

He paused and cleared his throat.

'No member of the Congregation may hold a seat of power within it concurrent to governance within any other organisation.'

Martin raised his hand. 'This is for human organisations as well as creature? Or only the former?'

'The former, I think. To simplify matters.' Polissena, the daemon nun who had spoken up during the initial meeting, was from Milan. She was sitting across from Martin on the right, flanked by a Swedish hän called Uoti, and a male daemon from Scotland called Ingeramium.

'And will you be relinquishing control of the Knights Hospitaller?' Philippe asked. Martin looked at him with the corner of his eye; he was projecting an outward sense of calm, but Martin knew him well enough to see the anger sizzling beneath.

No other De Clermonts in the Congregation. Not as long as they are the head of the Knights of Lazarus. Pity.

'I have already made arrangements to pass on my appointment' Jean reassured.

________________________________________________________________

Martin clutched the leatherbound book in his hands as the carriage lurched through Arles. He had painstakingly written down the agreed-upon tenets of the Congregation's laws, binding his notes so that he would not lose them. He had even had them signed; Philippe volunteered a signature, then Gerbert. Polissena's spider-like lettering prickled across the page above her seal, next to Uoti's blocky handwriting and Ingeramium's neat scrawl.

The carriage lurched over something and there was a clank as the seals hit his leg. Jean had said that they would authenticate the copy and make it more official. Irakli had laughed and said that the seals made the book look like a patent of nobility.

The carriage swung sharply to the left, up a secret track leading up into the forest at the edge of the city. The track smoothed into a cobblestone laneway as they climbed higher into the mountains, a tree tunnel of silver birch obscuring Martin's view.

The road ended in a solid wall of interlocking branches choking the way. As the carriage rolled closer the branches parted to reveal a wide forecourt and a towering golden-brown fortress.

Martin had many mansions and castle throughout Burgundy, but Kamb-atsu was his true home. It had started life as a wooden fortress he had built atop a series of rockpools and caves, and when the mineral deposits in the ground had turned the foundations to stone he had used magic to rapidly petrify the rest.

Kamb-atsu's outer shell was an inverted copy of his castle at Beaune; a rectangular pentagon pointing out over a cliff with a river flowing gently below.

There were four towers, two to each side. A door set in the front tower on the left led into the library and the entrance hall. The tower to the right, and the section of the building behind it, contained the kitchen and laundry, the stores, and the servant's quarters.

Martin's guests were waiting for him in entrance hall. 'Ladies, welcome.'

'You summoned us, m'lord?' Rochelle Laisnié bowed stiffly, and smiled to let Martin know she was joking. Bertille Garnier and Joachine Moreau hadn't bothered standing; they raised their hands and Martin kissed the back of them, and pulled out Rochelle's chair for her so she could sit down.

'I am sure you are all aware that this meeting is..no longer legal.'

'We are, m'lord' Joachine grimaced like she had tasted something foul. She and Bertille had known Martin their entire lives; Rochelle's family had moved into the area when she was sixteen.

'I do not wish to sacrifice the relationship your families have with me,' Martin said evenly. 'But that is not for myself alone to decide.'

The witches stirred, glancing at each other.

'You know me. There will be no repercussions if you wish to leave.'

Bertille hesitated, then reached out and gently to Rochelle and Joachine by the hand. She straightened in her chair.

'What is a little high treason among friends?'

Author's Notes

Excerpt from The World of All Souls, page 37 (I believe this may be a picture of Hamish's notes on Congregation law):

Notes on Creatures from the Jerusalem Codex (trans. from Latin)

"We therefore agree, because of the dangerous temper of the times, to undertake these solemn oaths and promises to ensure the safety and well-being (solus?) of our selves, our progeny and our future. We undertake to bind daemon to witch, witch to lamia, and lamia to daemon within the solemn vow of the covenant."

"With respect to the great controversies and inconveniances that have accompanied the holding of titles and offices by the lamia, the covenant forbides them from accepting any honour above the lowest rank accorded a man of state. The daemons and witches are likewise barred from accepting such honours, for to do otherwise would sow discord among the covenanted."

"Similarly, daemons, lamia, and witches must, from this moment forth, abstain from debates over matters of faith. Covenanted creatures may choose to enter religious orders, but shall not aspire to positions within them that shapes religious doctrine or practise."

The Congregation was originally founded in Jerusalem, but moved to Constantinople after the fall of Outremer. I decided to speed up the process.

Jean de Villiers and Jaques de Taxi were real people! According to Wikipedia, "[he] was the twenty-second Grand Master of the Knights Hospitaller, serving from 1285 until 1293 after the death of Nicolas Lorgne. Jacques de Taxi became Grand Master ad interim, perhaps through 27 June 1286, while awaiting the arrival of the newly elected Grand Master from the Holy Land. De Villiers was present at the Siege of Acre in 1291, but escaped just before the city fell to the Mamluks. He was succeeded by Odon de Pins."

I feel that daemons have a long history of electing female spokespeople for the Congregation.

The Finnish language doesn't have gendered nouns or personal pronouns like she/her, he/him, they/them. Instead, they use hän as a gender-neutral, all-encompassing term. It was first recorded in the Abckiria, or the ABC book, which was the first book published in the Finnish language in 1543, but the term pre-dates the this.

In this instance, I have used hän as a descriptive for Uoti both because it is correct grammar for a Finnish person, and because they are a gender-neutral individual. Non-binary people have existed in the past, even as far back as the Iron Age:

This is what a patent of nobility looks like:

since I am back on my rhaenicent bullshit, may I present the latest in my mashup au that I’ll never write series:

SAF x HOTD AU

Curtwen would be Rhaenicent (Owen~Alicent, Curt~Rhaenyra)

Otto or Larys Strong as the baron

Daemon as Cynthia

Laenor as Tati

Vizzy T as Mrs Mega

Harwin Strong as Barb

Criston Cole or Larys Strong as The Informant

Plot wise: it’s literally Spies Are Forever but with House of The Dragon Characters

You know what's a good way of doing the demon of Sloth Belphegor

A genius, wasting their talent on garbage. A king of knockoffs,a sultan of slapdash and snake oil,Baron of bootlegs(sorry about that). A master at making crappy copies of things like artifacts, abilities potentially even people.

Seem interesting?

Hmmmm. HmMMMMM. HMMMM!

I like it! I like it a lot! Though perhaps it should be an original demon, rather than Belphegor, who tends to inspire genius ideas that encourage laziness and greed in those who invent and use them. A demon of laziness and corner cutting, shoddy crafts and poor copies...

I have something budding in my head right now. An idea that could use a little refinement (especially to differentiate it from my existing Daemon Harbinger of Corner-Cutting), but there's a thought-diamond in this thought-coal, i can feel it!

Many vintage Halloween songs are based off the monster and horror movies that were popular in those days.
