25: Brothers Against Sister

Daelora's POV

I woke up to the sound of someone banging against my door and I felt Damon's hand tighten around me, I turned my head, "Daemon, Daemon wake up" I said, he slowly opened his eyes and smiled at me.

The door opened, Criston rushed in looking worried, "Your grace, something has happened with the princes" he said, I looked at Daemon worried, "Inform the King, take me to them"

We quickly walked down the halls, I held Daemons hand tightly thinking the worst. We approached a group of guards all holding my sweet boys, Baela, Rhaena, Jace and Luke trailing behind. I saw blood dripping from each guard, I covered my mouth as I felt tears run down my cheek.

We reached the hall and I saw every noble present, the maesters motioned the guards to placed my boys on the couches brought in. "Mother" Aegon said softly, I approached them. Three Masters present, each helping one boy, the master lifted Aegon's shirt, he had a stab wound, I gasped as I saw it, tears streaming down my face.

Aerion had not woken, I sat next to him "Aerion, Aerion wake up" I said but he hadn't opened his eyes, "He is breathing, your grace" the maester said, I sighed in releaf but felt more tears fall down my cheeks.

Viserys walked in, followed by Helaena and Daeron, "Mother!" they both yelled as they ran to me. Helaena gasped as she saw the scene, "Mother what happened?" she asked in a hushed voice, "We are yet to find out, dear"

I watched as they stitched Aegon's stab wound, then Aegon's eye and finally I saw Aerion's hair on the floor as they stitched the cut on his head. "How could you allow such a thing to happen. I will have answers" Viserys said

"The princes were supposed to be abed, my king" Ser Westerling said, "Who had the watch?" Viserys asked, "The young princes were attacked by their own cousin, your grace" Criston said, attacked whom would attack my boy, I thought as I left Damon's hand in my shoulder.

"You swore oaths, to protect and defend my blood!" Viserys said, he was clearly angry those were his children. "I'm very sorry your grace" Ser Westerling said, "The Kingsguard had never had to protect princes from prince's, your grace" Criston stated.

"That is no answer!" Viserys yelled at him, I watched my boys all in pain. "The wounds will heal, will it not Maester" I asked, biting my lip to stop it from quivering, "The flesh will heal, your grace, but the eye is lost" one of the maester said, "The knife missed all organs, your grace" the other said, "Prince Aerion is yet to wake up, your grace"

I gasped and covered my mouth, Aemond lost an eye, Aegon stabbed, Aerion, unconscious. I looked to Aegon and saw tear stained cheek, "Oh my boys" I said and held both their hands.

"When will Aerion wake?" Daeron asked, I closed my eyes and took in a sharp breathe, "Soon, my dear" I said and kissed his cheek.

"What is the meaning of this" I heard my father say as he and my mother descended the stair. Baela and Rhaena rushed over to her, crying. My parents stood next to me and I saw Baela whisper something to Aemond.

The doors opened and I saw Rhaenyra rushing to her children, I looked at her with hate. "Who did this?" she asked looking around.

"They attacked us!" Aemond yelled, "Aerion shoved Rhaena!" Luke yelled, "Jace stabbed me!" Aegon added, "Luke hit Aerion with a rock!" Baela yelled, "Aemond stole Vhagar!" Rhaena yelled, "Luke slashed my eye" Aemond yelled, "They called us bastard!" Jace yelled, "Liar!" Baela yelled.

"Silence!" Viserys yelled and everyone stopped yelling, I looked at my sons, my eyes landed on Aerion, I saw his eyes twitch and slowly opened, "Mother?" He called out, I bit my tongue as I sat back down, "Oh Aerion, I'm here" I said and hugged him.
