Storms End
Jon Connington sat in the sept in Storms End, watching as the boy who had come to him as 5 year old in Pentos, draped a red and black cloak around his aunt, and smiled. Aegon had become a man right before his eyes, and he felt proud of him. Danaerys had arrived at Storms End a week ago, with her dragons as well as her army of unsullied and sellswords, any tension Jon had felt about Danaerys possibly rejecting Aegon had been put to rest when she had embraced him and had looked at him with what Jon thought was a mixture of love and awe.
They were granted a boon in the fact that both Aegon and Danaerys seemed to have taken to each other almost immediately, in fact so quickly did their relationship develop during the week that Danaerys had been at Storms End that Jon could have sworn that this wedding had become more than just one of convenience for the both of them and rather one that they both truly wanted.
Jon knew that know that Danaerys was here, both she and Aegon would be keen to march on Kingslanding immediately but a raven had arrived in the morning from Lord Tyrell, pledging his fealty to his rightful king and queen, but also proposing a second marriage between his daughter and Aegon. Jon had been very bemused by the raven, they had heard of course of the accusations that had been levelled against her by the Lannister woman, and of course she had been cleared of all charges by the Faith. Aegon had been slightly more infuriated by the raven, Jon thought that it was quite good that Aegon had not immediately jumped at the opportunity, but then of course they had been reminded by Danaerys that she could not bear children and that perhaps it would be wise to accept Mace Tyrell's offer.
The fact that Danaerys could not bear children had been a very very big worry for Jon, but with the offer from Mace it did seem to be a practical solution to the problem, Danaerys had managed to persuade Aegon to see it as such as well by telling him rather softly that they need not tell the Tyrells about her condition at all if that was what it would take to make Aegon more compliant.
Ultimately Aegon had caved in and agreed. Mace Tyrell's raven had said that they would be in the Saltpans for his son and heir' Willas's marriage to Sansa Stark, therefore Jon had with Aegon and Danaerys's consent decided that they would take some of the Targaryen forces up north with them to the Saltpans for Aegon's marriage, and also to get the Stark boy Dareon to bend the knee as well.
The only slight worry that Jon had had in the past two weeks was the fact that Danaerys had said that Quentyn Martell had died whilst staying with her in Meeren, according to Danaerys he had tried to tame one of her dragons and had been roasted alive for his efforts. Danaerys had seemed truly sorry for Quentyn's death and had even written a letter and sent it to Prince Doran assuring of this, and had received one in return assuring her that it was ok and that he didnot blame her and that Dorne's forces were still at their disposal. Jon suspected that had more to do with Aegon being Elia's son than anything else as he had noticed that the Dornish contingent that had arrived with Princess Arianne had stayed away from Danaerys after she had told them of Arianne's brother's death.
Jon was taken out of his reverie by a large cheer that went up in the sept, and looked up to see Aegon and Danaerys kissing and then walking back down the aisle. Jon saw Aegon flash him a very big smile as he walked down the aisle, Jon managed to return it though once Aegon had passed it turned into a grimace the greyscale was slowly creeping up his body.
He only hoped that he could stay well long enough to see Aegon and Danaerys take Kings Landing and their throne soon so that the Bells in his head would finally stop, they had after all been lessening since the capture of Storm's End and Danaerys Arrival.
