SHORTLY AFTER Aelora had laid in bed, a pounding knock sounded at her door, before two small figures stumbled in, shouting something along the lines of Aemond and fighting.
That was all it had taken for Aelora to rush out of bed, quickly following behind the two girls, their rambling going over her head, she couldn't make out what they were saying.
Once the sound of shouting took over it all made sense, but the sound of a cry made Aelora's pace quicken.
She saw Aemond lying on the ground, blood pouring from his face, Luke standing above him, a blade in hand. "Luke?" She questioned, "What have you done?" Aelora kneeled beside Aemond, she could tell he was trying to be strong, though by all the blood she knew he was in pain. She covered his hand with hers, trying to stop the blood, it hadn't worked.
"Move over!" Someone had shouted, before two guards made their way towards the young boy, rushing to grab him, ordering the other children to follow.
Aelora looked down at her hands noticing the blood that now stained them, they began to shake as she followed the others. How had this happened?

The moment Alicent made her way in the room with her other children she had snapped, shouting and demanding answers. The children had stayed frozen, none of them wanting to speak.
Aelora's eyes stayed trained on her bloodied hands by her sides, they had still been shaking. But the sound of gasps and an angry Alicent snapped her from her daze as she noticed Aerion making his way towards her.
"Princess, are you hurt?" He questioned, grabbing her hands, inspecting them. She just shook her head, unable to speak.
"Aerion!" Alicent shouted, but he had ignored her. His focus only on the girl in front of him. The anger in his face clear, though none of it had been towards Aelora.
The rest of the evening happened in a blur, everything had happened so fast before Aelora had been separated from Aerion and rushed back inside her chambers.
"Don't leave this room." Her mother instructed. Her tone had been soft but Aelora hadn't planned on leaving anyhow. She just stared at her hands that had been covered in blood moments ago, that were now red from scrubbing instead.

Aelora woke rather early, once again she hadn't gotten much sleep. Her head was too full, she could only picture Aemond on the ground.
As she ran a brush through her hair, someone had poked their head past her door, a smile formed on her face when she noticed him. Even after everything he could make her happy.
