"I can't!" Laenor shouted. "I loved him." 

"Laenor." Corlys scolded. 

"Father dont make me, not today, please!" Laenor begged sobbing out. "He's dead! He is dead!" 

"You will move on," Coryls agreed. 

"If mother was killed right now would you just move the fuck on?" Laenor countered. 

"I married your mother, have been wed to her longer than you have been alive." Corlys corrected. "Dont compare us." 

"Father!" Laenor begged. "I can't do it! I can't marry her." 

"Is it awful that I still want to get married?" Alicent questioned. 

"No its wonderful because you and Michael are perfect for each other." Aislynn assured. "Viserys wants to push up the union, get it settled tonight. I dont see why you an MIchael couldnt say your vows tonight as well." 

"Really Lynnie?" Alicent declared hugging her tight. "That would be grand! I have to tell MIchael!" Alicent ran off, the biggest smile on her face.

"Laenor has been... misplaced." Alicent offered and Rhaenyra chuckled. 

"They lost Laenor." Aislynn agreed bluntly.

"I would like it to be known that I was being good, I was ready to marry him. I am not the problem child." Rhaenyra declared. 

"You are not the problem child, this time." Aislynn mused. 

"What does this mean?" Rhaenyra countered. 

"The Velaryons are rightfully pissed but not at you. At their son." Aislynn offered. "We are still having a wedding though." Rhaenyra's face fell. "Alicent and Michael are getting married in your stead." Rhaenyra let out the nervous breath she was holding in a whoosh of relief. 

"Yes, thats- Yes!" Rhaenyra agreed. 

Alicent put on her wedding dress, AIslynn fixed her hair while Rhaenyra spent the next hour sitting on the table, eating cake with Harwin Strong. 

"I'm newly single again." Rhaenyra remarked. 

"That you are." Harwin agreed. Rhaenyra smiled licking frosting from her lips. 

"My father will try to marry me off again." Rhaenyra realized. 

"Seems to be what your father and most do." Harwin agreed teasingly. 

"I know we dont know each other that well..." Rhaenyra began. "But I enjoy your company and I have known you for years..." she went on not able to look at him. "I was just thinking what if we... you know, I dont know if you have any suitors in mind-" 

"What are you asking me princess?" Harwin questioned. 

"Harwin Strong, would you marry me?" Rhaenyra questioned. harwin smiled, a big toothy smile. 

"I would be honored." Harwin agreed. Rhaenyra leaned in kissing him and sparks flew, he was the one for her. 

Aislynn clapped her hands getting everyones attention. 

"Places people! The bride is coming!" Aislynn demanded. Otto walked Alicent down the aisle, Finn stood in front of Aislynn, Anari in his arms babbling and pulling at the collar of Finn's shirt. 

"I have good news," Rhaenyra whispered. 

"After," Aislynn countered. "This is Alicent's wedding now. It's not all about you." She mused. Rhaenyra rolled her eyes but closed her mouth. "And I saw you kissing you Harwin already soooo," Aislynn drawled out with a wink. 

Alicent and Michael raced through their vows before Michael took her in his arms, dipped her back and kissed her like he needed her breath to breathe. Aislynn hooted out clapping for her little sister. Alicent was gasping for breath when he pulled her up. 

"Husband and wife, whatever may come!" Aislynn declared. "To Ali and MIchael!" 

"I would stay and celebrate..." Alicent offered hesitantly. 

"Go fuck your husband." AIslynn assured. "By order of the queen, have a great night." They ran off and no sooner did they leave, Viserys collapsed to the ground before them. Aislynn stared down at him frozen for a moment, her smile still on her face from Alicent's happy moment. But her smile slipped as she blinked down at Viserys lifeless body. Then she snapped into action. 

"Get the maester." Aislynn rasped dropping beside him. She felt for a pulse with shaking hands. "Tommy- Tommy-" She whimpered. He knelt beside her. "I cant... feel a-" Tommy replaced her hand with his and felt a weak pulse. 

"He's alive." Tommy announced. "I feel a pulse but its weak... Get the damn maester." 

There was no point in ruining Alicent's happy night, Aislynn didnt want Alicent to know, she deserved to have this night be magical. But Aislynn needed to talk to her sister, needed to talk to someone that wasnt her brother, her lover, she walked into the gardens flustered when she saw Criston. 

Ser Criston was going to kill himself after what he had done, the dishonor of it all. He let out a slow deep breath, his armor removed, his sword pressed to his chest, he just needed the courage to do it. 

''Ser Criston.'' Aislynn called out. "I'm kind of going through some stuff right now and you being a moody temperamental man child are adding to my stress." Aislynn informed him. "FUcking hell man, drop the blade. The king collapsed you fucked up, big deal. We all fuck up. Now drop the blade and get up." He listened to her dropping the blade. "Good..." Aislynn agreed. "Is it awful that I dont want him to die for two reasons and one of them is really fucking selfish?" 

"Your grace?" Criston questioned. 

"I love him, he is the father of my children, I dont want them to have to grow up without a father." Aislynn remarked sitting beside him. "And... I really like being queen and I'm not ready to give that up yet." Criston offered a choked smile. "See, we are all a little bit fucked up." Aislynn remarked.
