── ୨୧ ──

    ALAENA'S heart felt as if it stopped. From hearing of her dear loving brothers death.

    It had been a week since hearing of his death from Alicent, whom was disappointed in her son. Alaena stayed in her bed chambers most days, Helaena would visit, but Alaena was in no mood to speak to anyone.

    Aegon, well he spent most of his days trying to be a good 'king' while his wife cries to herself most days and nights.

     Alaena's son turned four over the week of mourning her brothers death, and the queen hadn't heard a word from her mother, which worried her. Did she believe Alaena to be a traitor?

     A knock was heard from the door, which Alaena lifted her head to look up as she had her knees pulled up to her body, "Alaena," Helaena's sweet voice was heard, Alaena closed her eyes, as her eyes were puffy and red.

       Alaena heard whispering, from outside her chamber, but she ignored it, until she heard her daughter, "Mommy?"

       Alaena had seen her children once in a while, whenever she felt like company.

       "Come," Her voice was raspy from not using it, and the chamber door opened, and Daella ran in. She was dressed in red and Helaena walked in holding Rhaegar, whom wasn't so small anymore.

      Alaena smiled as Daella tried to climb onto the bed which Alaena had to help, while Helaena stood at her side, sitting Rhaegar down on the bed, his silver hair longer then before.

       "I've requested that they wore red today," Helaena looked down, the two hadn't spoken much over the days of Lucerys Velaryon's death.

      "I thank you Helaena, truly."

      Helaena nodded, before bowing softly, "Nonsense, you're my sister by law, none of that."

       Helaena smiled at Alaena whom seem to better with her children and her sister by law around.

        "I'm sorry," Helaena whispered and Alaena nodded, "Me too," Alaena's meaning that that sentence, could have meant a lot of thing, did Alaena know that Rhaenyra would want revenge? Did Alaena know something would happen? No one knows.

     Helaena looked at the children before Alaena, "Join me? To the gardens?" Alaena sighed, she hadn't left the room in days, her did have Aegon beg her to leave the room to show everyone the new queen. But Alaena refused to leave as she wished to mourn her dead brother.

       "It would be good, for you, and the children."

      Alaena softly and slowly nodded, as Helaena smiled to herself, as Alaena got out of bed, with Daella by her side. And Rhaegar trying to move to get down which Helaena helped him.

      Alaena got dressed, all black. While Helaena braided her silver hair, "Mommy! We have the same braid!" Alaena saw that Helaena had done both Daella and Alaena's hair the same which she adored.

       Once she stepped out of her chambers, whenever she passed lord or a lady, they would bow whispers, "your grace," With Alaena leaving her chambers her swore guard followed behind Alaena, Helaena and the two children.
