Lilith's Pov
I let my sour thoughts taint me for most of the remainder of the days. The castle had sense been a little more on the rowdy side. Alicent alone had three kids. Aegon, Aemond and Halena. I loved sitting with Halena as she played with different insects she spoke in riddles that were a little to accurate for taste.Aegon just drank to much even at his promise age of six and ten. Rhaenyra's children also happened to join in on the little taunting that happened with Aemond being one of the few who has yet to secure his own Dragon yet. There was kids everywhere on all sides of the family growing up.
It was a usual day with Halena, she let the large worm crawl over her palm with great force before she looked back up to gaze at me, a kind smile appeared on her face.
"Princess Lilith you love a gem that also loves a gem that treasures them don't you?" I stared at her for a moment in confusion, chuckling quietly as I kept watching her slightly picking at the slight bids of thread on my dress.
"Your riddles speak a little too close to home I fear dear, Rhaenyra yes." I nodded my head a couple times flicking my head up to focus on on the soft emerge sight of the blue sky. I cracked another soft smile.
"I sometimes wish it was me who married her you know? She's always had a tug on my strange heart, I must really be like my brother we are both too strange." She hummed focusing in on me before she moved to rest her head on my lap with a kind smile and chuckle.
"Wait till the night were the treasure waits. She yearns." I chuckled in my own defense before stroking at her hair gently. Making her relax in her own type of relaxation. The one time two people alike could just be themselves and accept the affection that was given their way. She rarely got it from her own mother from time to time.

By extreme night fall I was sitting by the roaring fire in my room, reading my usual night time books. The castle at the late hours was almost as horrifying as you could imagine. I perked up suddenly hearing a couple knocks firmly at my door. I stood up with ease lightly pulling the edge of my nightgown opening my door peering my head out, just relaxing at the sight but a scolding tone took over me."You are suppose to be resting Rhaenyra what are you doing?" I joked opening up the door wider for her. She smiled at me, stepping inside with quiet tippy toes on the cold floor, helping me shut the door behind our own frames with ease.
"The handmaiden is helping me get Jeffory to sleep. I just wanted to see you, my chambers have been lonely with Laenor gone most of the nights." I lifted an eyebrow in her direction as well. I grabbed her hand with ease, helping her sit down on the edge of my bed, the crackling of the flames lighting up her own eyes.
"You guys have an arrangement don't you?" She scoffed out a little before sighing dropping her head down to face the floors, nodding a few times in my direction.
"We perform our duties in front of my father. I allow him to go sleep with the finest boys and drink the finest wine as am I my boys.." I quietly shushed her, I already knew... I knew a lot of people knew and spoke hush about it behind others as well.
"I know Rhaenyra you don't have to explain it to me okay. I know deep in your heart you feel lonely don't you?" I watched the way her breath hitched her head tilting up, she breathed out a firm breath before nodding letting her warm tears flow down her cheeks.
"I haven't felt like this since I was a young girl Lilith.. It's always someone leaving me and then you made that promise of always staying here.. You've never gone far." She chuckled looking down at me some more. I smiled gazing up at her gently.
"How could I ever leave you Rheanyra when you've always been there for me as well? Maybe it's the other sparks in me but no one should ever leave you." A faint smile grew on her face.
I focused my total attention on her before I found myself standing up in front of her, cupping at her face, I watched the way her head tilted up a bit towards me, her eyes flicking from the features of my face before towards my lips. I leaned in with a soft motion, kissing her with soft yet deep motion cupping under her jaw even more.
I could hear her own soft breath hitching before she pressed herself close to me. Her hands holding onto the surface of my arms. I leaned in closer moving my lips slow yet passionately with her own feeling her sliding her grip to grab at the back of my neck to pull me closer to her.
