The following day, Jacaerys and Elaena made their way into the council room. Elaena had been woken up with more terrible news. Her cousin, Prince Jahaerys had been murdered last night.

Although she hated Aegon, she loved her aunt Halaena dearly and her children too, and she felt awful for what happened. She knew of course, her mother would recieve the blame, but she knows also her mother would not dare do such a thing.

Jacaerys looked down at her sad face as they walked down the steps into the room, and placed his hand on her waist comfortingly, and placing a delicate kiss of her forehead too.

Once they had made it to the table they stopped, but Jacaerys spoke "let me fly out on vermax, Rhaenys is needed in the gullet and I can watch for movements from kings landing" he said.

Elaenas brows furred as he spoke, before her face showed worry. She didn't want what happened to Luke, happen to her husband.

"Jace no" she whispered, grabbing one of his arms with her hands.

"No" Rhaenyra said, agreeing with her daughter.

At this Elaena relaxed, glad that Jacaerys wouod not be flying out without her.

Jacaerys however sighed at his mothers words, huffing to himself, but seeing his wife's relief made him feel bad. He wrapped an arm around her waist as an apology, to which she accepted, leaning into his hold.

"It must be said that the damage to our position is immeasurable. At a time when we most need loyalty to our cause" One of the lords said from Rhaenyras right.

"But it's a lie" Rhaenyra said, laughing bitterly.

Her face then changed to a serious look "Having lost my own son, that I would inflict such a thing on Halaena, of all people, an innocent!" She said.

As her mother spoke Elaena listened to the words, and thought about someone who could dare do what was inflicted on the young prince. A name suddenly popped up in her mind, that she knew to be right.
Daemon.

She stared at Rhaenys who was looking at Daemon as well, she clearly had caught on too.

She listened as her mother argued with the maesters and lords, about how she wouldn't dare hurt Jahaerys.

Rhaenyra sat down, sighing as she did. She looked up to see her husband looking away, and saying nothing. Let's just say that is not like Daemon at all...

Rhaenyra quickly ordered everyone to clear the room making Elaena share a look with her husband, which showed he knew Daemon had done it too.

Later that day, Elaena had snook off to practice her crossbow, up high on a nearby mountain. She did this when something was troubling her, and she wanted to be alone.

"You missed supper" A voice said from begin the wooden beams.

Elanena quickly recognised this voice, it belonged to her husbands. She sighed, he knew her too well, and so he'd come here to question her.

"Yes well....I wasn't hungry" Elaena mumbled, continuing to stare at the wood.

"I don't think anyone was, really. Too many empty seats" Jacaerys said, walking up to her.

"Where did Daemon go, he left mother upset" she mumbled.

"Harrenhal I think" he said, going to stand up beside her.

"I hate him sometimes, really." She said shooting another shot, landing it perfectly, making Jacaerys smirk proudly.

"Yes well, we've had our fair share of fathers" he said, taking the crossbow out of her hands, making her sigh.

"Indeed" she said going to look at the sea, standing near the edge of the cliff.

"I miss him" she said, going to lean her head on Jacaerys shoulder admiring the rough waves before her.

"Which one?" He laughed, making her elbow him in the side.

"Laenor" she whispered after a minute, playing with her hands.

Jacaerys nodded, looking down at her "You know he held a special place in his heart for you" he said kissing her head.

"And cake" she giggled making him laugh with her.

After a minute of silence, Jacaerys spoke again, looking into the distance sadly "I miss luke" he admitted.

She pursed her lips, sighing at his words "Me too"

He gave her a sad smile, taking her hand in his own, before bring it up and kissing it softly, making her smile at him lovingly.

"I love you jace" she said.

"I love you too" he replied leaning down to kiss her on the lips, touching her cheek tenderly.

The two then walked back, hand in hand, talking of their found memories of Laenor, and how they both missed him dearly.
