The first night of their marriage, Aelora and Aemond didn't get much sleep.....they made love to one another again, now that they are man and wife, their love became even stronger and more vibrant for one another, the tension of them wanting to take back Aelora's throne was almost forgotten about.

Aelora awoke to her naked body under the sheets, her curly silver locks over her face, the Queen immediately turned over as the sun shone down on her tired face, she turned over to finding an empty bed side, the Queen didn't think much of it, she got herself up and dressed, she wore a crimson red attire and put upon her head, her mothers bronze crown.

Aelora stumbled upon a letter Aemond had left her on her dressing table.

"I've gone for a flight with Vhagar, I will be back soon my love.

- Your King."

Aelora blushed at the letter, she adored the fact she had a king consort by her side, Aelora then got a sudden sadness that took over her mind, she thought about how distant she became with the greens, she hadn't spoke to Princess Helaena or Prince Aegon since they arrived, Aelora often thought about Queen Alicent too, she found it strange how Alicent had been so quiet about her and Aemond's wedding, despite Aemond not talking about his mother not participating at his wedding, she knew it was getting to him.

Aelora respected that Aemond wanted some time alone to think about his mother and family members, however, Aelora wanted to get close with her new family, she wanted to make up for all the tension her family has been through for the past couple of months.

Aelora made her way down the sunlit halls, Dragonstone had a spring air flowing through the walls, this made the Queen feel fresh, she felt the breeze and took in a deep breath. Finally, Aelora made it to Princess Helaenas chambers, Aelora almost forgot she was Queen and that she could just walk in without knocking, however, Aelora respected Helaena more than anyone after Aemond, she knew how close Aemond and Helaena were to one another. Additionally, Aelora gave the door a polite knock, she heard a soft toned voice replying to her.

"Come in."

Aelora walked in to find Helaena sewing in a chair, with Prince Jaehaerys and Princess Jaehaera, they were playing with a handmaiden with two wooden dragon toys.

"Princess Helaena? Id hope we might have a nice catch up?" Aelora softly spoke.

"Why yes of course, your grace. Please do sit down." Helaena replied.

Aelora took her place next to the Princess, she didn't want this conversation to be awkward but she knew Helaenas ways with physical touch.

"I hope you've settled in Dragonstone nicely?"

"Why yes the children love it, they didn't really get out much back in Kingslanding."

Helaena looked over at her children in awe, she smiled whilst talking about them.

"They're both lovely, you and Aegon must be very proud."

"Yes we love our children very much, I couldn't imagine a world without them in it."

"That's one of natures greatest honours, becoming a mother.." Aelora reassured.

Helaena looked at Aelora with a confused expression, she begs to sit closer to the Queen.

"Are you and my brother expecting a child?" Helaena questioned.

Aelora turned sharply to Helaena, she didn't know how to reply to that sentence.

"I wouldn't know Princess, me and Aemond have obviously bedded one another.....however I've had no signs of baring a child."

"Take my advice my Queen, it wouldn't surprise me if you were..." Helaena responded.
