'The Valyrian capital was built into a volcano, much like Dragonstone. And the dragonlords, the highest of the nobility, lived here, at the volcanic face, closest to the source of their magic and power. And this was the Anogrion. Where the bloodmages worked their craft." Viserys told Alicent.

'It is truly wondrous what you've built.' Alicent remarked.

'Oh no. I only pore over the histories and provide the plans. The stonemasons built the structures.' Viserys corrected.

"Do you believe that Westeros can be another Valyria, Your Grace?" Alicent pondered as Aislynn peered in unnoticed.

" That depends, whether you speak of the Freehold at its height or at its fall. Over a thousand dragons, a navy large enough to span the seas of the world. The glory of Old Valyria will never be seen again." Viserys remarked but his cup slipped through his fingers crashing to the ground. 'Seven Hells.' He muttered. He sucked in a deep breath looking to Alicent. 'Tell me, how is Rhaenyra?'

'What do you mean?'

'Well, these days, she doesn't say more than a few words to me. I think she might find it difficult... to discuss personal matters.' Viserys told her. Alicent had visited him often, which he found he enjoyed.

'It will take time. It did when I lost mine own mother.' Alicent informed him. "I had Aislynn, she was not only my best friend but my sister and mother and protector... I'm grateful for her every day."

"I wish she would approach me." Viserys told Alicent softly.

"What if you went to her?" Alicent offered.

"There are times when I would rather face the Black Dread himself than mine own daughter of 15." Viserys informed her bleakly. Alicent chuckled.

"I think she would open herself to you if invited. You do have such an easy way about you, Your Grace." Alicent remarked.

"Um..." Viserys took a step away from Alicent. 'you do not mention our talks to Rhaenyra, do you?' Viserys questioned and Alicent stared at him a moment longer confused. 'I just... I fear that she wouldn't understand them.'

'No, Your Grace.' Alicent answered before she caught Aislynns eye and excused herself.

"I'm heading home... I'm bringing Finny and the boys back." Aislynn whispered as she hugged Alicent. "I'm going to miss you."

"You can't leave already." Alicent corrected.

"Just for a bit."

"Stay another week, please, they get you all the time. I miss you more." Alicent begged hugging her tight.

"Of course.'' Aislynn agreed. "Hey sweetie, is every thing okay?"

"Yeah." Alicent answered softly.

"Is it?" Aislynn countered touching her torn and bloody cuticles.

"Just... the queens death brought up... memories of mom." Alicent offered and Aislynn nodded holding her closer.

"You don't need to be the one to comfort the king, its not your job." Aislynn assured. "I don't want you hurting yourself... he should be talking to his daughter. Rhaenyra needs a friend too."

"I know." Alicent agreed. "I just..."

"Just what sweetie?"

Father wants me to the seduce the king and I'm terrified and don't want to tell you because you might kill father and I just want to be perfect for him, Alicent thought miserably. But she didn't want to tell Aislynn because Aislynn would stop this, Alicent would be able to breathe again. She just needed her sister to stay and everything would be okay.

But apparently the words came out of her mouth because Aislynns jaw dropped.

"Father is making you do what?" Aislynn shouted.

"You heard that? Or did you read my mind?" Alicent countered.

"Ali! This is serious you are a kid. A child. You shouldnt be seducing anyone for another two years at the least." Aislynn remarked and a small pitiful smile met Alicents face.

"Dont tell father I told you." Alicent begged

"Why the hell not? You are not marrying him."

"Father will be mad and I just want to please him." Alicent remarked.

"Its your life. Your future. Your happiness. Not fathers that im concerned about." Aislynn corrected. "I will handle it."

"Lynnie-"

"Dont worry. Dont you know by now Aislynn knows best." Aislynn assured kissing her forehead.  Alicent had just wanted to make her father happy, proud, she was willing to do anything for him but she felt it eating away at her soul. She knew Aislynn would fix it but she didnt know how.

She didnt want to see Aislynn mad or worse... disappointed, she didnt want anyone to worry but what happened if their fathers plan worked... how much of herself would she lose in the process of becoming who her father wanted her to be... it was like aislynn could read her mind and held her little sister tight.

"You wont lose your light my dearest. I wont let them take your light."

"Do you ever think about being queen?" Alicent questioned.

"I didnt but damn I would look good in a crown. Too bad rhaenyras the heir I could had seduced Daemon and got myself a crown." Aislynn offered innocently.

"You could try with the king." Alicent offered.

"I could." Aislynn agreed. "But Viserys? I dont know. Hes not so bad I suppose." Aislynn remarked. She figured it would be the easiest way to keep him from Alicent. She could convince tommy to join the queens guard and things need not change. And she would be in charge. That would be nice.

"Dont worry Ali I will handle it. Dont visit the king again though." Alicent nodded eagerly.

"You want to what?" Tommy spat.

"Father was manipulating Ali into it because she has a soft heart. I dont want that to happen. Not our little Ali." Aislynn remarked as she rested her chin on his chest. Big green eyes stared back at him. Tommy sighed his hands moving along her spine feeling every bone and grove. Aislynn smiled back at him as her leg shifted over his own. He felt the pulse of her cunt against him and held her closer.

"You like Viserys?"

"He likes to sit and read I like to do things to explore!" Aislynn corrected. "We are not a good match. Not that he could keep up with me anyways."

"He couldnt," tommy agreed.

"But I could try and if it works im queen and Ali doesnt have to be miserable."

"So you would be miserable instead?" Tommy countered.

"Not if you became my sworn sword." Aislynn corrected. "Its kind of perfect Tom. Dont you see? Father will stop with the bogus unions and I will be in a marriage with a man I dont love so you dont need to worry about me falling in love and all I need to do it pop out a few kids and bam! Happily ever after."

"Rhaenyra will see your children as a threat. They will be in danger." Tommy corrected kissing her gently.

"If Rhaenyra becomes a problem we handle her too."
