Aelora: The Magnificent

Chapter 21

Meanwhile, Queen Aelora was with Otto and Lanos and the whole gang with the other Lords she decided to take out with her to the fields and discuss together the problems that have happened in the meantime. The Lords were completely confused that the Queen chose to take up work instead of punishing them all for going against the Queen. But this is how Aelora figured out so easily why the Lords went behind her and simply chose to join Vaemond Velaryon to stand against her because of her gender and her choices within her rule. This is how it was, the Lords went against everything because Aelora wasn't there. After everything in the court went into chaos, you get a little lost when you don't have your most important person and leader around. You want to be seen and heard, and if you are not led by anyone and become completely restless enough to not be able to do anything, then you do things to finally be heard. Just like children and some adults also do it sometimes, but maybe not in the same way. But Aelora did not mention anything but she went friendly and mature to discuss about the problems that were going on for the farmers and for the marketing. The reason why all the wheat, flour and everything else has gone moldy is because both the farmers and the Lords could not, or rather were not allowed to do their jobs within the new and better systems that Aelora had fixed for both groupings within the professions and create an excellent calculation for salary and money fixing. But apparently everyone around her admitted that thanks to the money debts, the money could not be enough to make up or be enough. And the Lords that Aelora has with her now, are marketers who work for the whole Crownlands and King's Landing and the city has become more spacious thanks to Aelora. But there were two other major problems that existed as well. All the fields were in front of each other in several rows up, but the lands had become completely bone dry and completely useless to use again and one of the biggest problems was that the very water river that the people used to draw water to water the fields had also dried up. Aelora feared the worst about that thing, and that water came from a large river stream that was several meters away and then up a large hill. People had created a simple waterfall to bring down enough water for a canal that led to the river to the city. That canal was built during a time when King Aenys ruled the land, and the river itself has been there forever and that water has been useful for many other things, for medicines, cool water for the smiths, drinking water for some animals, bath water for the sick. But as said, Aelora feared if there was still water there beyond the hill. Aelora wanted to take a look but Lanos dismissed that idea because the day was drawing to a close and he thought the Queen looked more tired. He wondered if his friend still needed to recover from her coma. Aelora agreed with her advisor and told everyone that was enough for today. Aelora went to her carriage and got in and sat down, one thing she managed to hide out there was that she was having those cramps again in her head. Her illness could be such a nightmare to deal with. She would probably agree that she needed to heal more and maybe needed to move to a much better environment. But she can't leave everything as it is now. It was absolutely impossible. How could she? Aelora went to her room immediately and took off her clothes, she had been sweating like a hundred times again, even though it was spring outside. She needed something to drink but had such a pain in her head. She cursed everything around her in silence so no one could hear her. Aelora was breathing heavily and panting, enduring the pain until it passed.
