AFTER LOSING SIGHT OF RHAENYRA SER CRISTON WENT AND reported it to the Queen who was talking with her children. He knocked on the chamber doors which were opened by Aemond who looked at him questionably. "Ser Criston," Alicent says with a smile smile, "what wrong?"
"There was a small incident regarding Princess Rhaenyra." He starts and before he could explain everyone in the chamber now had their attention onto him, Aegon was now standing, Helaena had put her centipede down and Aemond was now narrowing his eye toward them guard. "We followed her out into the gardens where she told us to give her and Princess Rhaenys some privacy and it looked like they were going to have a quarrel, but Rhaenys walked off leaving Princess Rhaenyra to stand there looking a little lost before storming off after her. We ended up losing her after she gave us quite a chase, we're looking for her now, but you told me to come to you if something like this were to happen; though, she looked really upset."
Alicent felt a little sick after hearing this, she turns to Aegon and Aemond. "Split up and find Rhaenyra, Helaena and I will go with Ser Criston and look around for her." Her sons nodded before leaving the chambers but in different directions, "let's hope nothing bad has happened to her." She said taking her daughter's hand as they and Ser Criston went looking for the missing Princess.

Rhaenyra cries quietly as she walked behind the back of the last bookshelf, she sat on the floor out of breath rubbing her baby bump. Rhaenys was right, she was desperate, but she just wanted the families to come together, she wanted to change the world that they lived in now.
She cries for her father, for her children and husband, but she sobs into her hand after feeling so humiliated. She let Alicent see her vulnerable, she had let herself go at the Queen's request and she'd fell for their tricks, again. They were using her to get the throne from her, they were going to force her to her knees and they were going to hurt her. She hugs her bump with one of her arms and tucked her knees up to her chest, she was afraid for her life for the first time in forever.
She seized her sobs when the doors to the library opened, she tried not to sniffle, she tried so hard not to give herself away. Nobody could see her like this, it would ruin her image. She could hear someone walking around as if they were searching for something, her heart stopped when she heard a gentle voice call out for her. "Rhaenyra, come on out, little one." She hears Aemond speak softly as though he were talking to a baby dragon that had just hatched, "I am not going to hurt you, nobody is." He began, she could hear his footsteps come closer, she tries to make herself small and fit in between a bookshelf crack in the wall and hide herself as much as she could.
She heard his boots click against the brick floor stop, she slightly pulled herself to look and saw that he was standing right in front of her staring down at her. He bent down to the level of where she sat and stared at her puffy face and watched her tears fall from her violet eyes. "Tis okay, sister." He says reaching out for her causing her to flinch back.
"No touch!" Her words were slurred like last night's, she felt so small and she craved for comfort but she knew what his intentions were.
"Easy, hush, little one." His face softened as he gently laid his hand on top of her clothed leg, "nobody is going to hurt you, not while I am here, not while Aegon is here."
"No!" She whimpers out, "I-I know what yous are doing, what your intentions are!" She sniffles and chokes on her words, she was trying to get them out quickly before her throat had began to close up.
"Intentions?" He mumbles, "I am afraid I don't know what you are talking about, sister. Our only concern is for you, we want to see you happy." He says watching as more tears fell from her eyes, he watched her struggle to form words, he wipes her tears and picks her up while being mindful of her baby bump. She whines into his neck and weakly kicks her legs in protest, "hush, byka zaldrīzes, your big brother is here to look after you." He cooes bouncing her slightly before walking back out of the library.
He walks through the halls with her still sniffling, he rubs his hand up and down her back while humming a song his mother used to sing to him when he was younger. It seemed to do the trick and calm her down, but she immediately tensed up when Aegon suddenly calls out to the both of them, the older boy took notice of the way she was hiding into Aemond's neck and how his brother held her against him tightly.
She really was their little sister. He felt relieved that she had been finally found, he glances at her red face that began to take over from the puffy facade, her eyes were rimmed red and there were tear imprints that led down her cheeks. "Thank the gods that's you are alright, hm riñītsos?"
"Aegon, we will take the byka zaldrīzes to her chambers and stay with her until she falls asleep." He mutters, "our dear old Uncle won't be there, he's still tending to our father."
The older Prince smiles and nods his head, "let's take care of our, little sister."
