"Father is dead." Aemond announced as he entered her chambers.
"Oh..." she whispered. She was sad of course, Viserys was her father but he never cared for her and was apart of her life. A few tears pooled in her eyes and she hugged herself then she felt Aemond lean his head on her shoulder. She turned and looked up to see Aemond with a few tears running down his face. Daella wrapped her arms around him tightly. She hated him but she never wished to see him upset.
"Come with me brother. Helaena and the twins would enjoy seeing you." Daella gave a small smile to him and guided him out of the room.
"Mother, sister." Daella said as she held Aemond's arm as they walked into the room.
"Dae." Helaena smiled as Daella sat next to her sister.
"Prince Aegon's not to be found within the castle walls, Your Grace. Your father has sent ser Erryk into the city to find him." Ser Criston said. Alicent and Daella looked at the man. "Ser Erryk knows Aegon. He has the advantage."
"Why do we need Aegon?" Daella asked her mother.
"Viserys told me that he wished for Aegon to be on the Iron Throne." Alicent sadly smiled and Daella shook her head. Why would he change his mind now?
"I trust again to you, Ser Criston, and to your loyalty. Aegon must be found and he must be brought to me. The fate of the Seven Kingdoms depends on it." Alicent said and Daella rose and joined beside Aemond. They looked at each other and knew what they wanted to do.
"I will not fail you." Criston said.
"We'll come with you." Aemond linked his arm with his sister's and they walked closer to their mother.
"That would not be my desire, children. If anything has happened..." Alicent whispered, looking over her two children and she held Aemond's other arm and lifted a hand up to stroke Daella's cheek.
"Cole needs us, mother. Ser Erryk isn't the only one who knows Aegon's doings." Daella went closer to Alicent's ear. "I have gone with Aegon countless times to the streets of silk, I know him like the back of my hand." she whispered.
Alicent nodded and the three set off.

Daella and Aemond put on cloaks and once Daella saw Criston she burst out laughing at his stupid disguise.
"Aegon brought me to the Street of Silk on my thirteenth name day. It was his duty as my brother, he said, to ensure I was as educated as he was. At least that's what I understood him to mean." Aemond told as they followed Daella through the winding streets. He knew Daella came here many times but he was still surprised how well she knew the place.
"I don't follow." Cole said, Daella scoffed at the knight's stupidity. But he would barely know anyways because he's been pining after Rhaenyra for decades.
"He said time to get it wet. Every woman is an image of the Mother, to be spoken with reverence." Aemond said as Daella knocked on the brothel door and was met by a woman.
