It had been a few years since the night at Driftmark and since then Alicent and Rhaenyras kids have not seen one another.Alicent and her family with Viserys in Kings Landing and Rhaenyra and Daemon with their family on Dragonstone.
The day after they left news had rang out of Rhaenyra and Daemon having married on Dragonstone in the way of the Old Gods.
Aegon and Helaena had also been married except their marriage had been in the Faith of the Seven, the New Gods.
Though their marriage didn't seem to be going that well as Helaena still had not fallen pregnant, people beginning to spread word that she was barren.
Aemma had grown into a stunningly beautiful young lady, following in the footsteps of her mother in being a polite and courteous lady.
Though she had spirit, something her and her brother shared in common, they were both the quite ones in the family, but when together there was never a silent moment.
Viserys health continued to decline, him now missing an arm and an eye, his illness worsening and festering leaving him mostly bed ridden and drunk on milk of the poppy.
This leaving most of his work for the Queen and the Hand to pick up, sitting on the Small Council meetings, making decisions and such.
Which is what lead to this specific Small Council meeting as of now, only it wasn't a Small Council meeting as such.
The people gathered in the Small Council room was Alicent the Queen, Otto Hightower the Hand, Ser Criston Cole the Queens Sworn Sword.
That was normal to have them there every meeting it was the presence of Aegon, Helaena, Aemond and Aemma that was out of the ordinary.
Aemond and Aemma were sat together like two peas in a pod, sitting almost before everyone as they were being watched on.
It seems that they were the only two present at the meeting that didn't know what it was about.
"I'm guessing you've heard the rumors speculating about", Alicent started from where she sat at the head of the table, looking down to Aemond and Aemma.
"About what?", Aemond quizzed for the both of them, there was always rumors spreading around the Keep, it was hard to focus on just one.
"On your brother and sisters marriage", Otto answered from where he sat on Alicents right.
"That Helaenas womb is barren?", Aemma spoke up, looking sadly to her sister.
"Not quite", Alicent bit her lip, looking over to her father for help to answer.
"It's not Helaena that has the pregnancy issue", Otto tailed off as he looked over to Helaena and Aegon.
"Then what is?", Aemma furrowed her brows, beginning to pick at her nails, a habitat she'd picked up from her mother.
