JACAERYS VELARYON WAS NOT LIKE THE REST. HE WAS KIND AND PATIENT, yet the war changed him like it undoubtedtly changed you. however, this didn't stop your jace from being the kind and compassionate boy he once was, he was just more tempermental and on edge, ready to snap at anyone at any given moment. you couldn't blame him, the stress of the coming war and loss of his brother, who was only a year younger destroyed the person jace once was. all shred of hope and happiness seemed to leave when lucerys did, when the great war started.
"you drew up some good faith treaties" rhaneyra told you as the two of you and jace and daemon gathered around the strategy table. "i believe aemond in particular will be susceptible to conditioning aegon into making peace. he hadn't wanted the crown in the first place and i believe he still refuses to make aemond his hand. if aemond agrees to this treaty and becomes my hand i do think he will convince aegon to step down. we shall send the raven off and wait for the greens' reply"
you beamed up at the rightful queen, before glancing over at jacaerys to gauge his reaction. however, he seemed in a world of his own, the crescents under his eyes appeared to be darker and darker as the moons passed. you were concerned for him but didnt want to push him, you knew he missed his brother.
it was always an unsaid rule between the two of you, that as soon as this war was over, you would be wed, the pain of the war being overcome by the beauty of a wedding between two lovers. but after being dismissed by rhaenyra, jace had ran off to his room, not being seen for the remainder of the day. his current state concerned you greatly and you finally decided enough was enough, you wanted to be there for your lover.
knocking on his chamber door, you heard a shuffling before the door was roughly pulled open revealing a disshelved jace holding a half drunken wine chalice. you stepped into his room, pulling the door softly behind you as jacaerys all but stumbled making as he sat on his bed.
"jace, drawing your curtains closed, and drinking your poision all alone isnt going to help. and i- i know i know nothing about what you're-"
jace's eyes flickered up to yours, glazing over as tears threatened to spill onto h is hollow cheeks "thats it! y/n. everyone thinks they know what it's like. but he- luke was my younger brother, the only person that knew me- and he- he's gone and it's all my fault, if i had only convinced mother for me to go instead, or for the letter to go by raven then- then he would still be here."
