283 A.C.
King's Landing

Leia stared at the parchment. The words didn't comprehend in her mind. Not a sennight ago, did she receive a letter about Rhaegar's suspected win.

Rhaegar is dead.

Her love is dead. Leia couldn't even cry. Her body wasn't functioning. It couldn't be true.

How was she going to tell Rhayria and Aecerys? Gods, he didn't even know about her being pregnant.

Leia could feel her body shaking, and she dropped the letter. She wrapped her arms around her body and crawled into the corner of her bed.

Elia and Ashara walked into the chambers and were talking amiably, until they noticed the eerie feeling.

They both turned around and saw Leia staring at the parchment on the floor and hiding in the depths of her coverlet.

Elia walked over to her and sat down. She hugged Leia, as Ashara walked over to the parchment.

Leia,
Rhaegar is dead. I killed him for us. He is out of the way, so I can have you now. We can live our lives out together. I do have one question though, do you wish to be Queen? Is that why you married him? I can make you Queen. We can rule the seven realms together. I love you.
Yours truly, Robert.

"He's dead." Leia whispered.

"What?" Elia asked concerned. Ashara walked over and handed Elia the letter, her hands were also shaking. She hugged Leia in Elia's absence.

Elia's eyes widened as she read the parchment and its contents. She dropped the letter and hugged Leia also.

Leia didn't respond to their affection and stared blankly at the letter. "He's dead." She whispered again.

They both withdrew and stared at their friend with pity. "Leia, it is ok." Elia said quietly.

Leia began shaking her rapidly. "No. It's not. He's dead. My love is dead."

"But your children are still alive." Ashara said.

"He promised." Leia said, her bottom lip quivering. "He promised he would never leave me." Tears began to flood down her face. "Now and forever." She whispered.

"Where is Papa?" Rhayria asked with a confused face.

Rhayria, Aecerys, Ashara, Elia and Leia has decided to take a walk through the gardens, to get away from the havoc.  It had been a sennight since she had received word of her husband's untimely death.

"Somewhere safe." Leia said with a small smile. She stared at Aecerys little face. He was asleep in her arms.

"When can we see him?" Rhayria asked. Ashara and Elia looked down.

"Hopefully in a long time." Leia said, she could see from the corner of her eye, a servant approaching.

"Your Grace." A servant said. Leia hummed in response. "The King requires your advise."

Leia laughed sarcastically. "Of course he requires it now." The servant stood their wordlessly in shock. Leia rolled her eyes and stood up. "Take me to him."

She passed Elia, Aecerys and guided Rhayria to Ashara. Leia followed the servant through the Red Keep. He walked to the council chambers.

Leia gave him a brief smile and pushed open the doors. She walked into the room, and curtsied gracefully. "Your Grace." She said with no emotion.
