Kingdom Fall : Aegon II Targaryen

Men.

The urge I had to title this chapter Girls Just Want To Have Fun.

Anne changes into shamefully the only blue dress that she owns, that she reserves for when she is either at Driftmark or either of her Grandparents visit Dragonstone which has not happened since her mother and Daemon had married and they had only visited Hightide once this past year to see Lord Corlys of to war in the Stepstones once more, she had travelled with Baela, Rhaena and Luke. Luke had spent his time with their Grandfather learning to become the next Lord of The Tides whilst much to Baela's ire they had spent their time with their Grandmother sometimes they would spend this time flying but more often than not it would be spent occupied by activities becoming of a Lady.

Since her dress had been made the previous year during the much cooler months of spring this meant that the dress was unsuitable for the hot summer heat of the day. The dress was made up of many layers of thick blue damask and gossamer silk that swayed in the wind or as she moved in a way that reminded her of the sea. The dress had long sleeves and a high neck, so her Lady's maids had removed the thick damask sleeves that covered her arms but kept the gossamer silk sleeves that fell from her shoulders. She also replaced the thick woollen underskirt which kept her modesty and her warm, instead her maid layered silk, that belonged to one of her many black dresses, underneath which had allowed ample movement of her skirts.

Her maids had attempted to assuage Annerys from removing the fine white cotton tunic that sat underneath the the bright Velaryon blue damask dress, as they argued that it's removal would make the dress far too revealing but Annerys had argued that if they did not remove the layer she would die from heat exhaustion so they begrudgingly agreed.

After her clothing change Anne had finally made it to the joust and took her seat of honour next to Aegon. As expected the Queen and her lickspittles had quickly taken to 'whispering' amongst themselves about the vulgarity of Anne's outfit, something which Anne took great pleasure in.

Once Anne has taken her seat Aegon smirks up at her and says "well would you look at that, you are late and i am not."

Rather than respond because what would her response actually be she chooses to pull a face at him and then turn her head and pointedly ignore him as he laughs to himself. The tourney begins shortly after she arrives.

Annerys watches on as Ser Robert Darklyn unhorses Ser Harlan Donniger, then Ser Ayden Deddings unhorsed Ser Harry Doggart and two more after that until it was Jace's turn he rides up to where the royal family is sat and presents his lance.

"Dearest Sister." Jace calls up from his horse.

"Jacaerys." Annerys returns.

"Might you do me the honour of moving to the side you're obstructing my view of our Lady Grandmother."

Anne smiles at her brother then leans her body to the side so that Jace can see past her.

"Grandmother, might you do me the honour of offering me your favour."

Rhaenys tilts her head at him as the corner of her lip upturns slightly before she says "would you not prefer the favour of a fair maiden, grandson."

"There would be no greater honour than for you to grant me your favour."Jace smiles.

Rhaenys shakes her head at him but still the corners of her lips curl slightly and she smiles at him "very well then."

Once she places her favour on his lance Jacaerys smiles triumphantly and goes to face his opponent, he wins his first round.

Eventually it's Daeron Velaryon's turn to play, he knocks Ser Reynold Beesbury from his horse and then makes his way to the royal stands. "Princess Annerys, might you do me the honour of offering me your favour?"
