    ALICENT followed her weak husband, with Alylla slowly following behind as she was told to, and Aegon and Aemond right behind her.

    In the kings chambers, Alicent paced, "Husband. My king."

   Viserys was put to bed, and was given milk of the poppy by the maester, "Alicent-"

    "I don't think it's a good idea," She spoke, Alylla glanced to her two brothers, Aemond stood with his arms behind his back, a stern look on his face.

    Alylla didn't say a word, and Viserys coughed, making eye contact with Alylla before saying, "Alylla, you will wed prince Jacaerys Velaryon, and you will do so without a protest."

    Alylla opened her mouth, before just nodding her head. It had nothing to do with Jace, she loved him. Her feelings for him went back to the days of youth. Both she never wished to wed, through the many years Alicent had done everything to prevent it, even with Viserys pushing, as she wished to see Alylla happy with a family.

    Alicent stepped away from her husband, whom rested his eyes, before the big dinner, which was held late that evening.

    "Mother," Aemond spoke up, "I dislike this," Alicent sighed, sitting down, Alylla looked between everyone, she saw Aegon grab wine, "My daughter will be wedding one of her plain features sons..." Alicent mumbled and Aegon laughed to himself.

    "Bastards."

    Alylla sighed, "It will put an end to the gossip," Alicent whispered and nodded to herself, Aemond looked down, he'd heard about Alylla's night in the street of silk, and what had occurred.

    "You're not going to do anything about this? Mother?" Aemond asked, looking at his mother, "I can not, it's your father choice, nor mine anymore. I've done many years of protecting her from marriage. I can not anymore..."

    Aemond stormed away, out of the chambers, leaving Alicent holding back her tears.

ALYLLA had found her sister, with her twins. She needed away from her mother and two brothers and always found comfort with Helaena.

Alylla listen to the young twins babble, "Adoring," Alylla spoke, looking at the twins.

Helaena looked upon her sister and saw a look on her face she only made when she needed to confess.
