''I know your pain. I do. The loss of someone you love can tear a hole in the soul. But can you not imagine that he must hurt also. He lost you." Alicent offered.
"He chose to lose me. He made his choice. There might not ever be a way to reconcile. Some things are just too far gone.'' Davina countered. Alicent locked her finger with Davina's. "I'm glad I have you and Harwin, the kids... I think I would sooner rip heads off if I wasnt worried about the repercussions of any of them getting hurt. ''
'I wonder where Mama Dav is..." Luke questioned as Jace and Luke were walking the courtyard while the men were training.
"Probably killing Daemon." Jace said hopefully.
'Jace....'' Luke warned, he didn't much like Daemon either but he knew better than to say it out loud. Their mother was so smitten with him. But he was controlling and manipulative. Rhaenyra didn't spend much time with her sons of Strong blood so their visits to the capital were always welcomed.
''See? I told you this would still be here. Mama Dav is sentimental with weapons of mass destruction." Jace picked up a sword, one of the old swords from when they were training as children. ''And you thought you could swing Criston's morning star.''
''And you almost took your own head off.'' Luke counted. ''What's your problem?''
''Everyone's staring at us.'' Jace told him as his eyes shifted around
''Hyah!'' they heard the men dualling behind them.
''No one would question me being heir to Driftmark... if... if I looked more like Ser Laenor Velaryon than Ser Gael Strong.'' Jace hissed, he knew the truth, Davina had told him years ago but still she loved him. It seemed like his own mother resented his bloodline even though he had no control over who Rhaenyra fucked.
''It doesn't matter what they think.'' Luke reminded him, they heard a crowd cheering and a not so distant grunting they ran forward to get a better look as the crowd gasped. Aemonds sword whooshed through the air.
"Well done, my Prince. You'll be winning tourneys in no time." Aemond smiled as the crowd applauded him.
''I don't give a shit about tourneys." Aemond remarked then he saw Jace and Luke staring at him ''Nephews... have you come to train?''
"Hello Aemond." They echoed.
"Welcome back... you bring your parents this time?" Aemond questioned and they nodded annoyed. "Mama Dav will be so thrilled." Aemond added sarcastically.
"Hi Draeya." Luke whispered as she moved through the crowd.
"Hi Luke." She answered hugging him.
"I missed you." Luke said blushing up at her.
"Of course you did. I'm wonderful." Draeya agreed leaning back into Aemond.

''Open the gate!"
''Hold your nerve, Alicent. I'm still rattled from the fucking spider incident." Davina reminded her. "I feel sick." Davina said bringing a hand to her throat, feeling the bile rising, between Viserys fading more and more and now Corlys still missing, Daemon and Rhaenyra here and now the fucking spiders.
''He may yet live.'' Alicent offered.
"There is always hope." Davina agreed but Davina and Rhaenys and Corlys were not the biggest fans of one another, perhaps it was for the best if he faded away. But Davina preferred Corlys to Rhaenys the queen that never was.
''But we must be prepared if he does not.'' Vaemond remarked.
"The realm has enjoyed a long peace, a credit to the work of both Jaehaerys and Viserys, but the threat of war looms and the devil just arrived on the shores." Davina added.
