I left early in the morning nearly two weeks ago, next time I'm going on dragon back this takes far too long.

It's pitch black out, the only light is the lanterns.

I walk to the palace doors and they are opened by two knights standing near the entrance.

I hear gasps and whispers as I enter. I keep a straight face and hold my head up high.

I walk past a mirror attached to one of the brick pillars and see myself wearing a long emerald green dress.

I find myself near my old chambers and open the door.

"Who's there?" I can tell it's Aemond from the voice.

I grab one of the torches and light it, using that one I light the rest of them.

"Rhane?" he asks, getting up slowly, walking over to me.

He pokes me with his finger as if trying to figure out if I'm a dream.

"I'm real you twat." I say.

He comes up and hugs me.

"Why are you here? Why are you wearing green?" He asks, still hugging me.

I push him off of me.

"I'm here because I blame my mother just as much as I blame you for my brother's death." I say.

He looks at me with a pained look.

"I'm so sorry Rhane, I was just trying to mess with him. I never meant for Vhagar to take it that far." He says

"Take it that far? He killed my brother and Arrax." I say.

"I didn't mean to." He says "I'm so sorry." He says again.

"Did you think of me at all while you were chasing my 14 year old brother with your 190 year old war dragon.? Did you think of me at all when I was holding you telling you everything would be okay after you murdered my brother?" I start shouting and I can feel tears brim my eyes.

He tries to say something but I cut him off.

"Get out, this is my room. Get out." I say.

After a while of him just staring at me he whispers "Okay." and leaves

Once the doors close I change into a night dress and lie down in bed. Not falling asleep though, this place makes me feel uneasy. Especially now.

I feel some kind of pressure near my leg so I open my eyes.

"Holy shit." I say jumping up when I see Alicent sitting on the side of my bed.

"Why are you back?" She asks

"Lucerys' blood is as much on my mothers hands as it is on Aemond's." I say.

"I'd rather be here than constantly reminded that he's gone at home." She looks at me sadly.

"I'm sorry for your loss. Luke was a good boy." She says patting my leg.

She gives me a weird look before speaking.

"Stand up." She says

I do as she says and I stand up.

She pulls me forward and puts her hand on my chest squeezing my right boob.

"What the fuck are you doing?" I ask her then she lets go.

"Nothing." She says quickly before leaving abruptly.

"That was fucking weird." I mumble before grabbing a hideous green dress and putting it on.

I think the second worst thing, other than having to pretend like I don't want to burn everyone here, is that I have to wear green dresses. I absolutely hate green, of course I was born feeling like I needed to hate it but I grew to actually hate it with a passion. I refuse to look at myself in the mirror for longer than a second.
