The Blazing Hour {Aegon II Targaryen}

008

WAKING UP, Alyra looked to Aegon's side of the bed only to find that his wasn't there. She found it confusing, she knew he had left but they would always come back before dawn when they were together at least. It also meant that her first born son was still gone, which did worry her but hopefully her husband won't let anything bad happen to their heir. As per usually the maids knocked, but instead Queen Alicent came in asking for Aegon.

"Sorry your grace, he isn't here." Alyra replied 

"Sit child, I have news." Alicent sat her down on one of the sofa rubbing her shoulders "The king is dead." Of course everyone knew the time was coming, "With his final breath, he said to me that he wished for Aegon to be king. In turn you will be the queen as Vamyx will be heir to the throne." Alyra couldn't be happier yet putting on the facade. "Get change, come with me." The queen commended.

She lead me into a room with lit fireplace as Aemond sat infront of it, Alyra pacing around the room with Alicent picking around her nails slightly. Ser Cole came in, stating that Aegon and Vamyx were no where to be found in the castle walls and that Ser Erryk was sent into the city to find them. Alicent walked up to Criston as she trusted him with the task of finding the missing royals as the fate of the seven kingdoms depended on it. 

"I'll come with you." Aemond spoke up.

"As will I." Alyra stepped up. 

Alicent tired to stop them as it was not her desire, escipally for Alyra she told her it was no place for a lady as it was dangerous. Mostly to hide the fact she saw the girl as her own because when she looked at her all she saw was a mirror.

"It may be no place for a lady. Yet my son is there, so it's a place for a mother. Do not underestimate that, My queen we both know that." Alicent nodded knowing were the girl is coming from.

OUTSIDE THE KEEP, the three walked around in their cheap clothing. "Aegon brought me to the street of silk on my thirteen name day." Aemond spoke up, "It was his duty as my brother, he said." walking down the stairs of the streets with Cole fidgeting with his hat. "To ensure I was educated as he was." We arrived as he knocked on the door. No one got the hit he was trying to give to his good sister, Aemond didn't know it himself but the man had suspicions about his brother. "At least that's what I understood him to mean" Cole tilted his head as he didn't follow "He said, time to get it wet." 

Cole sighed as we waited for the door, "Every woman is the image of the mother to be spoken of with reverence." he shook his head knocking on the door again. The door finally opened to a woman asking to described the man we were looking for. Upon finding out that it was prince Aegon she immediately recognized his wife.

"Your his wife aren't you? You tired out my girls, every time you fall with child." It was no secret to Alyra that Aegon had gone to these houses when he really needed to, of course every time he would tell her. She was okay with it. Especially after she sent a spy. As the spy described the women he left with to be almost spitting images of her. During this time she also noticed that her brother in law was keeping his head down. "The prince is not here, He hasn't been for years. Not since the birth of princess Vysela. I wish you luck good Ser and my Lady, and my best to your friend." Cole stepped away. "How you've grown." She said to Aemond as the man didn't say anything to the woman who made him a man and left.
