What a grand day for Queen Aelora. She still sits on her Iron Throne and looks out to her great huge court with Lords and Ladies from all over Westeros that she now takes care of and helps with wealth and business. But now everyone must and must come to her to bow and serve their new regent and give their pledge to the Queen. One by one came forward in turn and bowed before Aelora who thanked and nodded her gratitude to everyone and it was a while later she admitted to herself that she got a little tense in her neck but she hid her irritation with her pride showing herself grand and watchful.

But after all this the whole castle is to have a big party in celebration and it was to be held in the courtyard outside and everyone in the family had helped make the party a striking day of celebration for everyone.

But in the meantime all the family were a little around in the throne room, keeping a watchful eye over the court and over the whole ceremony. Aelora concentrated on the court and beside her she had her Hand Ser Otto Hightower and on her other side she had her uncle who chose to give his Valyrian strength beside the new Queen.

But even Daemon could see what a grown woman his niece had become and he knows that Viserys would have probably wanted to see this and watch her act wooed to everyone and rule her he did before her. She may look strong but he will always help and support her, after all he also knows that not everyone is happy with Aelora on the Iron Throne and other men will take her by hook or by crook and do what they want with her. And he was a little disappointed at how Aelora still wanted Otto as her hand. While it's true right now that Daemon no longer wants to sit on the council, he still doesn't trust him and his cunning and selfish mind. Perhaps he was hoping that he can persuade his niece again and look for another man instead of a Hightower.

Rhaenyra, on the other hand, was standing with some friends from the court talking a little about Aelora and at the same time looking at Alicent who was standing upstairs looking at Aelora the whole time and Rhaenyra felt a sick suspicion as why she was looking at her sister for a long time without blinking or looking elsewhere. Rhaenyra thanked her friends for the conversation and excused herself and looked seriously at her former friend and Alicent noticed her and looked away a bit but Rhaenyra still wanted to pass the time wondering what was going on. Alicent saw that Rhaenyra was coming up to her and stopped and waited for the Princess. Rhaenyra came up to her and stood beside her and both looked out at the Queen. There was silence together for a long time and it wasn't an awkward silence either.

"We have a new Queen now." Rhaenyra said breaking the silence calmly and nicely.

"Yes we have. Long may she reign and live long." Alicent agreed.

"Long may she reign and perhaps even after her death too." Rhaenyra said smiling.

"Yeah maybe. She'll be a good leader. Even better than Viserys I can tell."
