Dragon's Oracle // Daemon Targaryen

17. Exile

Aelana walked away from Alicent and Rhaenyra, the taste of literal bile in her mouth making her feel squirmy.

She decided to get to her brother an talk about whatever this rumor was but before that she decided to drop by the kitchens. She reached the kitchens and without stopping or saying anything to anyone, Aelana stomped inside.

Everyone could see how angry the High Lady was and no one wanted to be the face their death today so they parted like sea and made way for her.

Ignoring all the bows and courtesy, she headed to the counter and pick up a huge jug from the counter. Looking around for a glass, Aelana didnt found one and she wasn't in mood to look for one so she lift up the jug and took a huge gulp from it.

she heard many gasps but she ignored them, taking a huge gulp of water, Aelana swish the water around her mouth to remove the taste of bile and vomit and threw the water down the drain. she repeated the process twice and then threw the jug in the sink, washing her hand.

Aelana took a step back and look for something fresh or with strong taste to put in her mouth, she was looking for orange juice but then her eyes settled on the Dornish wine.

It was inside a goblet which was placed inside a tray, the tray also had a plate filled with fruits and cheese and roasted chicken.

Aelana took a step toward the tray and pick up the glass, taking a huge gulp of the wine. she was drinking it when she heard a meek "That was Lord Hand-" the girl was immediately got silenced when she realized she was talking to Aelana .

Aelana look at the girl and realized that the scared girl had said out her thought loudly, she wasn't planning to punish her but her lips turned upward into a smirk and she look at the girl "For otto?"

the girll nodded meekly still looking down, Aelana look down the cup, it was half filled. she was planning drinking it whole but then an idea came into her mind. She look up at the girl "bring me a wine pitcher"

the girl rushed and brought her a pitcher, every servant was standing in the kitchen, watching her. Aelana brought the cup to her mouth and instead of taking a gulp, Aelana open her mouth and spit a huge amount of saliva into otto drink. then she filled it with more wine.

Putting the wine pitcher back, Aelana saw that even though she had put more wine, you could see some bubbles of her spit, annoyed she looked at the servant girl who was biting her nails.

Aelana looked at her fingers, filled with dirt and grease. she moved the cup in front of the servant girl and ordered "Stir"

the servant girl looked at Aelana at she was about to turn to pick up a spoon to stir it but Aelana interrupted her "With your finger"

The girl paused in her step and horrified look at Aelana, she than turned her head a little to look at Layla - the head of kitchen servant - but Layla didnt said anything.

the girl looked back at Aelana and then she close her whole left fist but her forefinger and rub her finger on her shirt, to clean it before she stir the drink with her finger. but Aelana shook her head "Stir it with your dirtiest finger"

The servant girl paused in her action and look at Aelana, nodding she lift her right hand finger and slowly and cautiously put it in the drink and stir in. Aelana saw the girl was a bit scared but after two stirs, she could see the devious smile on the servant face.

once done the girl took out her finger and Aelana put the glass on the tray. turning around she faced the servants "someone get Lord Hand his breakfast, we must not keep him waiting"

their was a smile on Layla face and Aelana heard a choked whimper like someone was trying to stifle their laugh but she walked out from the kitchen and to find her brother.
