The Moon Behind the Tower

The Grand Coronation

The next week after the arrival of the crown prince plans were made for the wedding to be on the hunting grounds, to show the unity of the Empires and the Iron Throne. Otto was growing more impatient by the second. He had planned all of Amata's future so that she would be the Queen, now she would be Empress Consort of a faraway empire! This was all his father's fault! Alicent was in her father's office, and fear and worry filled her heart. Since her sister was getting married to a future Emperor the talk was nonstop in the court. Members congratulated her grandfather every day, and Amata had the favor of Sultana Mihrimah! Alicent was burning with jealousy at Amata, again she was the real star, the one that took the show and all the hearts of those that saw her! Her father only cared for Amata because she was more capable of being a Queen than her. Alicent was the older sister! Amata was two years younger than her! But here she is now!

Otto: This can't be happening! If Amata marries the crown prince of the Star Empire, this will be a great advantage to my father! He may even get the position of Grand Viser! Agha will have a great teacher to show him how to be a great ruler, and with Amata as his Empress, he will be a great threat to us! Both Sultan Osman and Crown Prince Agha don't like me at all. Amata is the perfect Empress, and because of all of her schooling, she will be the main mind of the Empire! 

Alicent: Father, even if she married the king, would she stay loyal to us anyway? She is no fool father and will get rid of us the first chance she gets.

Otto suddenly spun around and slapped Alicent in the face. She yelps in shock as she fell to the ground. Alicent reached her hand to her cheek, tears falling from her eyes as she looked up at her father.

Otto: That is because my father had made up lies about us to her!!! Don't forget that you are the useless one, you don't have the skills, the brains, and the strength to even step up and take full control of the court. Amata is the one that has the skill, the brains, and the strength to rule ten courts if she wanted to!! 

Alicent has filled with rage and hatred again. Amata this and Amata that! It was always her! Her father could only see Amata as the golden child, and Amata hated him! She wanted nothing to do with him, she never even asked about her older siblings! Why was she getting all of the attention!!! The glory and honor! Why!!!!???

Otto fell to his knees, there was no time to make a move, and if he did, he would lose his position and his oldest daughter will be at the mercy of her grandfather, who made it very clear that he didn't care for his granddaughter if he stayed here at Westeros. This to Otto was his greatest loss to his father. 

Amata was in her chambers at the castle, brushing her hair when she heard the secret door open to her room open. It was Agha, and he walked to her and embraced her from behind. Amata took hold of his arm and leaned her head into his embrace, enjoying the smell of the sea on him.  To the two, it was too long since they saw each other. 

Agha: Askim, bircok ay gecti ve aci hic bitmedi (my love, many moons have passed, and the pain never ceased.)

Amata: Denizler murekkep haline geiseydi, sana hic durmadan yazardim. (If the seas became ink, I would write to you without fail.)

Agha: Kral nazik bir aptaldir ve babanizla birlikte, onun yaninda, kiz kardesiniz prenses iein bir tehdit olacaktir. Ne yapacksiniz? (The King is a kind fool and with your father, by his side, your sister will be a threat to the princess. What will you do?) 

Amata: Kiz kardesimin evlenecegi ayar landi, ancak anne olarak hic bir deneyimi yok ve sadece babamiza bagli olacak. Onun tecrubesizligini kandi avantajima kullanacagim. (It is set that my sister will marry, but she has no experience as a mother, and will solely depend on our father. I will use her inexperience to my advantage.)
