chapter thirteen
act two . war of hearts
── ୨୧ ──"VISERYS is dead," Rhaenys' voice echoed and Alylla glanced at Rhaenyra whom face dropped upon hearing the words.
"I grieve this loss with you two, Rhaenyra, Alylla. My cousin, your father..." Rhaenys glanced back at Alylla whom stepped forward to stand with Rhaenyra, "-Possessed a kind heart."
"There is more," Rhaenys spoke stepping toward them, and Alylla saw the tears starting to form in Rhaenyra's eyes, "Aegon has been crowned as his successor."
Alylla opened her mouth, the shock washing over her, Alylla heard Rhaenyra groan beside her. Alylla took a deep breath, "They crowned him?"
"How did Viserys die?" Daemon asked, "I could not say."
"How long ago?" Rhaenyra groaned, as she held her stomach, "A day past, perhaps two. I was made a prisoner in my quarters while the Queen made her preparations."
Daemon has took it upon himself to stand beside Rhaenyra, "Alicent demanded you declare for Aegon," Realizing washing over the princess as Alylla kept quiet.
"She did."
"I refused her."
"And yet you are alive."
"The High Septon crowned Aegon in the Dragonpit. I witnessed it myself just before I fled on Meleys," Rhaenys spoke, and Alylla met her eyes, "They crowned him before the masses?"
"So that the masses would see him as their rightful king.."
Daemon was angry, his voice rising as he spoke, "That whore of a Queen murdered my brother and stole his throne. And you could have burned them all for it."
"A war is like to be fought over this treachery, to be sure. But that war is not mine to begin. I only rushed this warning to you out of loyalty to my husband and to my house," Rhaenys made her statements known, as she stepped forward again, "The Greens are coming for you, Rhaenyra. And for your children, and Alylla. You should flee Dragonstone at once."
Alylla could see Rhaenyra struggling as she kept rubbing her stomach, and as Rhaenys took her leave, Rhaenyra groaned and leaned forward feeling a pain within her stomach.
Rhaenyra pulled at her dress, and put her hand to check the wet dripping down her leg only to see blood, "The baby is coming."
