It's been a few months since Bealon returned to kings landing and already his presence has been noted by the courtiers today was Alicents birthday and the court in the Red keep is booming to get everything correct and proper for the nights feast in the great hall, but there was tension in the air as of the Health of Aegon was the talk of the concern he had caught a cold and alicent was constantly on edge Viserys did try to comfort alicent but nothing could console her but Bealon she trusted him a lot her trust in him has grown since the hunt and there bond inseparable even Rheanrya could sense the shift in the air around the red keep, whispers that there bond goes closer than friendship has grown since then some people believe the whispers, some don't but Bealon didn't care for these whispers in his eyes he was just helping alicent in need of a friend something clearly Viserys did not understand or struggled to comprehend.

Bealon was at the main throne room watching People set up for Alicents birthday party as Rheanrya walks up to him "uncle" Bealon smiled as he sees his niece walk up to him and lean next to him "I didn't know you were interested in party festivities?" Bealon chuckled "i don't Rhaenyra I just want to make sure Alicent has a night were she doesn't have to worry about Aegon's health" Rheanrya for once look at him understanding him "I may not get along with Alicent anymore but I do hate seeing my half brother suffering like that, mainly because this is fathers first son.." Bealon looks at her sympathetically "Rheanrya your father still loves you I know he does, your his heir and that you remind him of Aemma I can see by the way he looks at you it's the same way he looked at your mother" Rheanrya smiles and leans her head on Bealons shoulder.

Just then Alicent comes running in distraught "Bealon it's Aegon!!" Bealon comes rushing towards her followed by Rheanrya "what's happened?" Alicent trembling holds onto Bealon "it's the measters there gonna kill him" Bealon rushes off towards alicents chamber Alicent trembles as Rheanrya catches her as she breaks down in tears, Bealon bursts inside the room sword and grabs the grand measter "What are you doing!" The measter struggles as he speaks "aegon is gravely ill it's only natural to ease his pain" Bealons rage "Give me one reason why you should live and not have my sword pierce you lungs or better yet take your head!" The measter weeps in fear as Bealon grows as was about the kill him, Viserys, Alicent and Rheanrya walk in "brother!! That's enough I have heard enough!!".

Bealon pauses as he sees his brother walk in and calms down when he sees Rheanrya and Alicent "my wife has told me the truth of the matter, grand measter your here by freed from your royal service and to head back to the citadel" as the measter protests Viserys cuts him off with loud shout shutting him up "one more word and I'll let my brother here gut you now begon from here!" And with that Bealon left as alicent cradled Baby Aegon in her arms.

The Birthday Party for alicent was Going smoothly do alicent was still tense about Aegon her own feelings was relief that Aegon was safe so she put up a happy face, everyone was joking about the time a man lost a fight to Bealon and they asked the question if he could take them on he replied with "Agaforth didn't shit himself when I killed him, but you lot I doubt it" the mood changed and got tense but lifted again as Deamon Targaryen came in clapping his hands chuckling and walking towards the royal table, Bealon groans and continues to drink his ale Alicent walks over to Rheanrya "thank you for today" Rhenerya stayed quiet for a moment and then spoked "of course" there was silence for a moment until Rheanrya started giggling alicent looked at her confused "what is it?" Rheanrya turns to face alicent "the face the measter had when Bealon and Father went out I swear he nearly pissed himself" alicent gasps and chuckles "Rhaenyra!" They began to laugh with each other as Bealon smiled seeing them like that just like the old days.

As the night went on Bealon retired to his chambers until a knock on the door "come in?" Alicent walks in slightly tipsy back still conscious "oh hey alicent" Bealon noticed the wine and grins "I decided to bring some wine the great hall was getting unbearable" Bealon chuckles as alicent hands him a goblet of wine and they sit next to each other "thank you for saving Aegons life today Bealon, I can't thank you enough" Bealon looks at her and smiles.

"Always alicent, you and Rheanrya seemed to get along tonight" Alicent smiles for a moment and then her face falls grim, Bealon after sipping on his wine holds alicents hand softly "what's the matter" Alicent looks at Bealon tears in her eyes "I can't stand it here anymore, I don't feel safe, Aegon isn't safe, viserys says I'm being Paranoid but all he ever does is shut me away and goes to his study, I can't bare it!" Bealon hugs her tightly as she weeps and then looks at her in the heat of the moment Alicent kisses Bealons lips Bealon breaks the kiss holding her shoulders "Alicent are you sure you want this?" She nods and without hesitation they begin to kiss again.

Bealon unclothes alicent he kisses her neck as alicent takes his shirt and trousers off they lay in the bed making love as breathes of moans and passion echo through the room and out into the endless night as they experience the joy and ecstasy of the sweet dripping off there bodies skins moved in there passion and finally collapse snuggled together on the bed legs crossed over each alicents breats touching Bealon chest as Bealon kisses her forehead with the ambience of the fire in the background.

"Alicent come away with me to Dragonstone, Deamon is a man I trust with my life he can help us" Alicent looks at him her head of his shoulder "you sure what if" Bealon grins and kisses her lips "I'm sure will leave as the sun comes up, you and Aegon will be safe there" Alicent snuggles up to him "thank you" Bealon kisses alicents forehead "get some sleep" That morning they meet Deamon and leave for dragonstone.
