     AEMOND SPENT ALL HIS DAYS IN THE LIBRARY, after everything, he put all his work into learning high valyrian to speak to his new dragon.

     Alaena awoke, to feel a wetness in her bed, she looked down to see red blood on her sheets, "Uh!" She didn't know what it was, a handmaiden walked in and saw the state Alaena was in.

    "I'll get the queen!" She ran out of the room and Alaena sat on her bed looking at the blood.

     Queen Alicent walked in, "Poor girl," She looked at the bloody sheets, "This is normal."

      Alicent had explained everything to Alaena, about how she had bled she can have children. Which means her wedding is soon to come.

    ALAENA SAT IN HER CHAMBERS, her sheets had been thrown out, and she sat on a chair with her silver hair down.

     Alaena stared at the floor, scared. The queen had told her that her and Aegon would wed within the week to come.

      The princess didn't want this, it all flashed before her eyes, she didn't like the idea of the wedding, she would be bidding herself to Aegon forever. Her mind also wondered to poor Helaena, whom had to bid herself to Aemond whom hid away from everyone.

       "Princess, the queen wishes for you to have your measurements for the wedding dress," Elaena, her handmaiden walked in her chambers, snapping her out of her thoughts, Alaena nodded and got up, and three more handmaiden walked in with dresses in hand.

       Alaena sighed, as they all held different colour dresses, one green, another red and black, and the other a light blue.

      "The queen wishes for the green one, princess," Alaena shook her head, "I like the red and black one," The Targaryen colours drew her in, "Uh-" One of the ladies were to say something but Elaena butted in, "-Of course princess."

      They had Alaena dress in her desired dress, which was the red and black one, the chambers door opened and queen Alicent walked in seeing her in the red and black dress, "You didn't like the green one?"

      Alaena shook her head, "My apologies your grace, I don't think green is my colour."

      Alicent hummed, before looking Alaena up and down, "You look-" She tried to find something kind to say, "-Beautiful."

       Alaena smiled and looked down, "Yes my lady, you will be a beautiful bride."

        Alaena, a girl of ten and two, felt off, she wasn't feeling herself, being in kings landing without her mother and having to wed her uncle felt wrong. She didn't feel like the girl she once was.

"Your grace..." Alaena whispered, Alicent pushed back her hair that hung over her shoulders, "Is my mother coming to the wedding?" Alicent sighed, she knew Rhaenyra would insist coming to the wedding, with prince Daemon.
