chapter nine, helaena and aemond.
▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃
It had been two weeks since Daeron's departure from Kings Landing. Aegon and Alana stood next to each other as Aemond and Helaena both said there vows to each other. It was a small ceremony in the sept, as both Aemond and Helaena wanted something small.As the Septon spoke his words Aemond and Helaena shared a quick kiss, before the small crowd clapped for them.
Alana looked up at Helaena and noticed she held a slight grimace of the loud noises around her and Aemond who did not like this much eyes on him.

Despite the small crowd that saw the actual wedding there was a feast afterwards, with much more people. Aegon sat next to Alana, who watched Helaena and Aemond dance amongst the other lords and ladies.
Alana was surprised that Aemond was actually dancing, despite her being her for two moons her and Aemond never actually talked, but she didn't care. Alana just hoped Aemond would treat Helaena right.
"I'm surprised Aemond is dancing." Alana looked at Aegon, who had a goblet of wine in his hand but didn't drink it.
"He probably agreed because of Helaena and my Mother." Aegon said, putting his goblet down on the table. "I suppose he always was the responsible one." He plays with the edge of his green tunic.
Alana nods and looks back at Helaena and Aemond. "Do you want to dance?" She looked back at him.
Aegon looks at her with a hint of surprise, but nods nonetheless. "Don't expect me to be any good at it." He stood up from his chair.
Alana chuckled and stood up as well, "Don't worry, dancing hasn't been my best skill either."
"I suppose, we'll be fools together." Aegon smirked, before grabbing her hand and led her to the dance floor.
"Just copy what the lord and ladies are doing, I'm sure..we'll blend in." Alana smiled, as she looked around them.
Meanwhile, Alicent looked at the pair while standing on the sidelines of the dance floor..Aegon seemed happy, Helaena and Aemond seemed happy, Alicent missed Daeron, but as her father said his duty was in oldtown.
She felt a presence next to her, she looked up and saw her father Otto, who also looked at the pair. "Seems everyone is enjoying themselves."
"Indeed." Alicent nods, silently picking at the skin around her nail.
"I've noticed Aegon doesn't drink that often around Alana." Otto spoke, handing his wine to a servant.
"I've noticed.." Alicent replied, looking back at the dance floor.
"It's good." Otto had a sly smile on his lips, "But she hasn't fallen with child yet."
"Father." Alicent sent her father a sharp look. "They've only been married for a moon..it takes time."
"Perhaps, but she is young. Both of them are." Otto spoke, looking back at the couple.
"Aegon knows his duty to the realm." Alicent spoke looking back at Alana who laughed at something Aegon said.
Otto nodded, "Of course." He said with a hint of sarcasm.
"Aegon will do his duty when the time comes."
Alicent muttered.Otto nodded "Perhaps."
Alicent's jaw clenched at his words, "This is not the time to talk about such things. This is Helaena and Aemond day."
"Of course, later then. But do talk to Alana about not being with child yet." Otto spoke, before walking away.
Alicent breathed a sigh of relief, and walked back towards where the head table was. King Viserys sitting in the middle, looking out of place and confused.
She took her seat next to her husband who coughed into his cloth a few times, She couldn't even look at her own husband without feeling disgusted by his appearance, he looked as if he had just woken up from a thousand year old nap.
"Do you feel alright?" Alicent asked her husband, and placed her hand on his weak arm.
"Fine, I'm just tired as of late, but I am fine nonetheless." Viserys smiled, showing his missing teeth.
"You should rest, my love." Alicent rubbed her thumb over his sleeved arm.
"You're right..I should retire to my chambers." Viserys nodded, coughing into his bloodied cloth again.
"I'll have the maester's prepare your chambers." Alicent smiled at him, before getting up. Glancing at Alana and Aegon who continued to dance amongst other lords and ladies.
