CHAPTER 4, WOES OF A CUPBEARER













                       𝕳alf a year had passed since the death of their queen mother. The bond between sisters had grown stronger since. Rhaenyra had been a steady aide in helping Alaenna return to her true nature. She had begun eating again, it had always been small fruits, but Rhaenyra thought it was much better than swallowing the air inside her room. She brought Alaenna with her when she could, despite the Hand protests.


Since Rhaenyra's coronation, Otto Hightower seemed insufferable in ways they hadn't thought possible. Alicent also seemed to have disappeared from Rhaenyra's side as of late. While it was a little funny to hear her sister endlessly complain about minor things, she thought it strange that Alicent wasn't hovering around Rhaenyra as much.


Since his exile and unlawful occupation of Dragonstone, Alaenna had been wearing the necklace gifted to her by Daemon. Her sister did much of the same. Daemon nowadays had become the root of what Lord Corlys thought to be a lack of strength in the Targaryen house. Leanor had all but told her as much.


The accumulation of problems in the Stepstones and Dragonstone had led them to today. Alaenna and Rhaenyra stood atop a balcony overlooking the courtyard. Lack of voice in the Council grew grating at times for Rhaenyra, that much she honestly knew. Granted, her sister was young, but she still had great ideas. If they wouldn't listen to her, letting her have a choice in things like the Kingsguard was the bare minimum they should provide.
