How did it end? Even you yourself did not know how or why; it just did. All of it ended without a clear explanation. One did not know that the last kiss shared would truly be the last. Or did they know that the last lingering touch would no longer remain and burn the fire of longing. All of it just ended. Abrupt and unforseen. And all of it ended with the blandest of goodbyes.
Two years had passed, and you still had no clear explanation as to why he had left. Why did he leave with no warning or reason? Why did he leave his post— his duty— his oath that he would forever be by your side until his dying breath? Ser Aemond did not give an excuse as to why he had left you. You only garnered minuscule information here and there that Ser Aemond had to rush back to his family’s seat as his brother, Lord Aegon Targaryen, had fled as he had no wish for duty. Leaving the post to his brother, who quickly left his station, his princess, and his heart in the capitol.
It could be considered treason to be a deserter, but Aemond had enough forethought to tell the King of his situation but not enough as he had made no explanation to the princess. Leaving her in anguish as she could not understand why the man she loved, the man who promised her devotion and security, just left without a word. You were in a state of denial the first few weeks. Blaming yourself as you thought your ungratefulness and want of space made your knight leave. You wrote letter after letter, prayed prayer after prayer, hoping you would be heard and have Ser Aemond back. But after two moons of ignorance and neglect, you began to realize that you had lost him. You began to accept that he was never coming back. That he would never return to you. That the space you had foolishly wished for was given in full.
