Chapter 118 - White Harbor (II)
"Let the fighting begin." Visenya II Targaryen, looking at Rhaenys and Arianne.

Walking down the wooden bridge that connected the ship to the pier, Visenya and Rhaella couldn't help but be shocked to see Aenar up close. His height really surprised them, which wasn't unusual given that he had grown twenty-five centimeters in a year and a half.
"Husband." Visenya quickly snapped out of her state of surprise. She approached Aenar and greeted him like a virtuous wife. Who would have thought that such a delicate, sweet face could excite on the battlefield like a true Valkyrie?
"Visenya, my dear queen." Aenar held Visenya's face and gently kissed her forehead as he looked at the almost twenty-year-old woman before him. She had only grown a few centimeters, which was not unusual.
Only a few humans could grow as much as him in a short space of time. Honestly, if Aenar hadn't controlled his growth rate, he would have been at least forty centimeters taller than he was now (two meters and ten).
Visenya couldn't help but show a happy expression at Aenar's actions. Even if it was something simple, it was the small demonstrations of affection that really showed that he cared about her.
"You've grown up." After seeing that they had both greeted each other, Rhaella commented with a slightly shocked expression. Aenar's height really was something of a surprise. However, when she saw Leda's height, she knew it was her grandson's doing, as Titus and Sigismund were of a similar height.
One person of such height was surprising, two were rare, three unusual and four already formed a pattern she couldn't ignore. Rhaella assumed that Aenar was using blood magic to strengthen the people next to him, but obviously didn't ask about it in front of strangers, as it was a sensitive subject.
"Well, I'm still in the growing phase, dear grandmother." Aenar commented with an amused tone, making Rhaella roll her eyes at her grandson's obvious lie.
"Queen Visenya, Queen Dowager Rhaella." Wyman greeted both queens with respect. His eyes turned to the sky, where three dragons could be seen flying over White Harbor.
