i've gotten word from Daemon that Alyssa and her most trusted knight have departed and are on their way here to winterfell. i've heard word about the princess. she's kind, smart, strong, can hatch dragons with just a touch allegedly too. and has 3 of them. i've heard whispers of the people's want for her to be queen one day. but those are all words from other people. what is she really like? how will she fare in the cold?

what ails her so badly that she needs refuge here of all places and not with her family. everyone's heard word of her betrothal to Aemond. we all thought it'd heal the targaryens squabbles. apparently not, if she's fled kingslanding and is coming here.

i stay away from her for a day. guilt eating me. i raped her. beat her. i head to the chambers we often than not share and weirdly enough...Ser Lyle is not out here. he must be inside. i pause...the door is cracked. i open the door and see the room in disarray. pillows torn, ripped, everything broken. and most of all...blood. there's blood everywhere. and my bride to be is nowhere in sight. the bed sheets bloody too. guilt. is that from my actions? or the attack she suffered? there's too much blood around this room for her to have made it out alive. i shout in agony. she's dead. gone. soon i'm joined by my mother and others "aemond what has happened?" "someone broke in. she's gone mother" i say numb. angry. i didn't even get the chance to make it right. apologize.

"then we will search everywhere for her" she starts to give orders to criston. i shake my head "my betrothed is dead." my grand sire says "you don't know that aemond she could be a captive" "look at all this blood! there's no way she could live missing this much of it" i huff, "what of her guard?" my mother says. Helaena asks "you raped her didn't you" how could she know? eyes. i look away in shame "aemond tell me you didn't" my mother begs. i shake my head "i cannot" slap. "do you know what you have fucking done? the daughter of daemon? the wildest of this family? and you very may have well caused this fucking war besides what you did to lucerys! he will have your fucking head on a spike as the fucking moon turns aemond! and Alyssa? that girl loved you aemond! all she wanted was a chance at this marriage she was forced into and you raped her?! among keeping her captive when there was no need to? i wouldn't be surprised if she killed herself honestly to get away from you" she snaps.

"i-" i start and mother snaps "i do not care. we will lay alyssa to rest. and we will fight this war you have started when you killed lucerys velaryon who was an envoy." storming out.
