Alaesa watched as the new lord hand a some of the Knights guard went out the gates.
She finally knew that the greens were preparing for war. Why would Alicent have her brother spend weeks travelling to kingslanding for nothing.
The Hightower man was the least of her worries although he was the only thing on her mind.
He had greeted her as if respected her. Like she was not being held against her will by his drunken nephew.
She knew she couldn't trust him nor should she like him. But out of all the greens she found him the most appealing to listen to and perhaps look at. Even though she had only spoken to him once.
But the Targaryen still kept her guard up by nightfall she'd be in dragonstone and by the morrow she'd be hunting down Ser Cole before he could reach wherever he was marching his men to.
"It would seem my brother is joining our lord hand in whatever fight is ahead" The dowager queen muttered as Alaesa snapped out her thoughts.
"It would seem Cole is marching your brother to his death" Alaesa corrected her.
"Alaesa one day you must accept the fact my son sits the throne"
Alaesa rolls her eyes "For now Alicent, but how long do you think our Queen will stay hidden away on dragonstone"
The dowager Queen stays quiet as she watches the Targaryen walk up the steps to enter the castle but before she does she stops "Cole is marching those men and your brother to there deaths. I can swear that to you, your grace"

"Granddaughter, how are you?" Rhaenys questioned.
Baela looks at her grandmother "One of my sisters has been sent away to the vale with my brothers and the other is being kept in king's landing. Then there's Aerion"
"Her grace didnt send the boy with Rhaena"
"Father would never allow that not while while my sister is in kingslanding. that"
"Alaesa may not be here but i'm sure she is fine"
Baela nods "Why didn't she go with you. You said she could have, why didn't she"
"Alaesa remained in kings landing for her own reasons"
"No she remains in kings landing because she cant get away"
Baela gets up and walks towards the doors.
"Granddaughter, do not let your anger lead you"
Baela stops as she sighs "I'm going to patrol the skys nothing more than that"
************************************
There was no more waiting as Alaesa walked through the dimmed halls of kings landing. It seemed as if Aemond and Aegon were nowhere in the castle. Then there was Helaena who was most likely with the young princess Jaehaera.
It was almost too easy for Alaesa as she kept walking trying to reach the courtyard as quick as she could. She wore a cloak with a hood covering her Targaryen hair.
Even if Aemond and Aegon were nowhere in sight, she knew the false king had more guards surrounding the castle. Protecting his own in case someone came after them once more.
She kept walking through the halls until she saw the doors that led to the courtyard, she knew there was a way out. It was how Aegon got in and out of the castle. After that all she had to do was get her dragon. She wouldn't leave Attor behind not when he was so close.
She sighed as she went to go out the castle but stopped when she heard voices, Alaesa quickly hie behind the wall as the voices got louder.
"They will all bow to you my king" A voice states as Alaesa sees Aegon and some guar- some low born cunts walk out into the courtyard.
Another reason that Aegon shouldn't be king. How foolish must he be. A king sneaking going out into the town with guard who could hardly loft a fucking sword. Alaesa waited a few minutes before she followed suit walking out into the dark and empty courtyard.
Then her eyes landed on the way out. If she knew it would have been this easy, well she would have been back on dragonstone a week ago.
As she left the castle walls she sighed of relief now all she had to do was get to Attor and that would be just as easy. The day Aegon had been crowned, she and Rhaenys were escorted through the town. Both Targaryen women had made it to the dragon pit but unlike Rhaenys, Alaesa had stayed not wanting to harm anyone....but that had all changed.
************************************
Baela bowed her head as she walked into one of the main halls of dragonstone.
The hall the council had taken place in since the Aegon had taken the crown.
Rhaenyra smiled softly as she saw her daughter "Baela, it is late"
"I've just came back from my patrol, your grace" Baela states as Rhaenyra nods "Should you not be resting"
"A war is coming Baela, there is no time to rest"
"There is no sign of any dragons or men leaving kingslanding"
"Mhm"
"D-do you know when my father will return"
"I've sent him a raven, I'm sure he will claim the river lands sooner then we both think"
Baela sighs again as Ser Lorent walks in.
"Your grace, lady Baela"
Rhaenyras eyes land onto the man "Ser Lorent it's late, what is it"
"A dragon has been seen landing on the shores of dragonstone your grace"
Baela turns to Rhaenyra and immediately speaks up "Your grace I shall take moon dancer and check for the threat"
Rhaenyra hesitates to answer but before she does they hear the doors open once more.
Both Rhaenyra and Baelas eyes widen as they see her. But Baela wastes no time on running over to the girl and embracing her.
Alaesa hugs her sister back before pulling away and walking over to Rhaenyra.
"Alaesa" Rhaenyra whispered almost surprised but then again the girl was her father's daughter.
Alaesa bows her head "Your grace, where is my father"
"Alaesa your fath-"
Baela finishes the sentence "Father is in harrenhal trying to claim the river lands"
"Of course he is"
"Alaesa are you harmed, should I fetch a Maester" Rhaenyra asks as Alaesa shakes her head "Are you sure"
"Kingslanding is only being protected by Vhagar" Alaesa states "It would be so easy to take kings landing, your grace."
"Alaesa you've only just returned and your thinking how Daemons does"
"Rhaenyra I practically walked out the gates"
Baela joins her sisters side "Sister its late and the queen is right"
Alaesa turns to her younger sister and nods "Then I'll go see to my so-"
"He's asleep"
Alaesa sighs as she watches Rhaenyra walk out. She waits for the doors to close before speaking up.
"So father ran away?"
Baela nods "Left without telling anyone"
"And Rhaena where is she"
"The vale with our brothers" Alaesa looks away "Ser cole marches somewhere, I do not know where b-"
"You should have told Rhaenyra"
"I don't need to"
"Alaesa"
"They fucking Hightowers kept me away from my son for two weeks" Alaesa snaps "Baela We're going hunting for a Hightower"
An - She's going hunting for cole and A Hightower..... also did everyone like this chapter
