shattered hearts

Not a word was spoken in the whole hour it took velaena to get cleaned up. Her main lady, Rose, had been the one to help her freshen up. Velaena hadn't asked for silence but Rose knew that's what she needed most at this moment.

"Rose" velaena spoke out still staring blankly, "yes princess?" She asked eagerly hoping she could help her with whatever it was that she needed.

"Where is my necklace?" She asked bringing her hand up to her bare neck. The necklace was given to her by her brother Lucerys as a gift and she hadn't taken it off since. Rose looked confused before realising what she meant.

"I'm not too sure princess, you didn't have it when you first arrived. Perhaps you took it off and forgot to put it back on?" Rose suggested.

"no, I couldn't have. I've not taken it off since I first got it" then the panic sunk in. She was very fundamental with things especially when gifted to her from her family.

Rose was still cleaning her face when Velaena shot up from her seat and headed towards the door. "Princess!" She shouted, "where are you going I'm not done cleaning you" but Velaena was too far gone.

The princess marched through the halls not caring that she still had some blood left on her face, she marched to the scene of the crime but this time Sir Vaemonds decapitated head wasn't rolling around on the floor. It felt almost empty without it there but that wasn't what she was here for.

She scanned the floor in hopes that the glimmer of the necklace will catch her eye but she couldn't see it. It was no where to be found. She flew to her hands and knees hoping to get a closer look believing she would find it that way.

"sister?" A concerned voice came from afar, then followed by footsteps creeping closer and closer until eventually they were right next to her.

"Velaena?" That same voice Said crouching down beside her hoping to grab her attention. But yet that didn't work either.

"Velaena" he repeated himself but this time stretching out a hand to her shoulder causing her to jump and snap.

"what!" She snapped looking round revealing it was Jacaerys. "jace," she sighed retreating from her original task. He reached out his hand offering it to Velaena and she took it. He helped her to her feet and stared confusingly at her.

"Everything okay?" He questioned looking at the distressed princess. "was it Aemond, god help me when I get my hands on him".

"no, no it wasn't him. Don't panic brother so far he has been rather pleasant" she shared a small smile with him causing his anger to ease. "I lost my necklace, that's all. I thought maybe I dropped it here when" she paused recalling the moments not so long ago.

"you've still got some on you, come here" he whispered grabbing a cloth from his pocket and wiping it from Velaenas face.

"I'm fine," she said but he continued to clean her up, that's what big brothers where for. "Jace" she said sternly causing him to laugh and back down.

"there, all done. Now you won't go around looking as if you've been in battle" he joked nudging her arm. "How about this" he proposed, "I will ask the guards to look out for this necklace but in return you relax and get some rest. Deal?".

"Thank you jace, and I'll try to relax. No promises" she smiled kissing his cheek before picking up her dress from the floor and walking out the throne room.

As soon as she left the throne room she made a dart to her chambers to change. Her way of relaxation isn't as relaxing as some might think.

"ah velaena there you are!" Rose smiles walking with velaena to her chambers. "Did you find your necklace?" Velaena shook her head holding her blank chest.
