The morning of the battle arrives in Wessex and the danish army arrive like expected, Rhaegar was placed on leading the main charge with men who had shield wall training alongside him is Alex, In the forest going along the hill to where The Dane's where is there sneak attack charge to catch the enemy of guard Belarea and Ophelia lead the attack from there when the battle is on fall swing, as for Aemond he needed to resort on leading the cavalry charge with king Alfred charging in as the vanguard.
Bealon had arrived the night before the battle with extra men from Mercia under his command, he would be attacking from the right side of the forest cutting them off from left right and center, the plan was set in motion for the battle of the early morning. Belarea walks to Aemond "you wanted to see me" Aemond breaths out "what I'm about to say will sound odd promise nothing will change once I say this" Belarea nodded and Aemond breathed out "I love you Belarea I always have I find you to be the most beautiful woman I know and... I want to marry you...... I know I'm not Rhaegar but..."
Belarea placed her hand on his shoulder "I love you.... But as a brother Aemond I know you see it when I look at Rhaegar and Ophelia, I admit I love Rhaegar and I'm sad he is with her but I don't want to be with you like That" Aemond nodded and as he was about to say another sentence the horn blow of battle and so the battle begins, Belarea taps his shoulder and smiles "see you on the other side" she then leaves with her men and Ophelia.
Alfred stood before his men on the battlefield and looked towards the sky and breathed out he look back towards his men who were waiting for battle either to come out alive or die for Wessex "we have spent to long defending ourselves from the heathens and Dane's of this land we called home no longer, we fight to our very last and we will not surrender god is on our side and god is with us we shall not let our wife's and children become slaves and die under there cruel way of life we will win no matter the cost we will never surrender this Country our Wessex and our England!!!" The men cheered alongside the cheers Rhaegar was proud to have Alfred as a Allie and friend.
The battle began when the two army's meet in the field of Edington Rhaegar was on his horse and was positioned next to Alfred the next minute the pagans arrived on the battlefield when it had begun wave after wave of troops using the shield wall, then came the cavalry charge with Aemond leading the march then with a horn of the ambush signaled then finally Ophelia and Belarea came charging from behind the Dane's causing mass panic and chaos, then Alfred, Rhaegar and Alex charged and destroyed the remaining enemy on the field but as things were looking up to be victory Alfred's heart drop as more Dane's and the leader of the heathen host of the army they were fighting appeared with reinforcements all hope of victory seemed to fading away as the clashed the Wessex soldiers in front, Aemond cursed wishing he had brought Vhagar and burned the Dane's to ash and see them into the pits of the seven in hell of the faithful.
but when all things looked to be a defeat for king Alfred on the seventh hour of the battle as the heathen leader marched towards Alfred to kill him as he stood, Baelon Targaryen came in there hour of need leading a Mercian host of 16000 strong with the old Mercian king beside him on horseback and by The 8th hour the heathen army of Dane's was defeated and the leader was forced to take a baptism to sealing it alfred had none of his men and women fighting beside live by converting them all into the catholic faith and to keep his Danish settlement safe under there new religion and role under the reign of king Alfred, the Duke of Essex was revoked of his title for the actions of his son Egbert who was sent away from Wessex on exile never to set foot
That night they feasted upon apon the feast and celebrated the marriage of Ophelia and and Rhaegar letting it to be known throughout the realms of the kingdoms surrounding Wessex, Mercia and Northumbria do it had to be explained to the now converted Dane's that had only grow up in Northumbria stating to them in Alfred's word "Northumbria and the danish lands of Jorvik" that satisfied them enough.
Belarea was almost half drunk by the time the party had gotten to the Third meal of the night Aemond wanted to comfort her after learning about her feelings earlier that day, but decided against it.
By 11 a hour before midnight Alfred had retired to his chambers satisfied and relieved to be back in the halls of Winchester, Rhaegar and Ophelia ran off to the bed chamber a hour later, Belarea was so upset by it people around her in the party supposed she might of drank all of the mead, ale and wine that night Aemond was so concerned he went to help and get to her tent outside Winchester but she wack his arm away in a rage "do not touch me Aemond! I don't love you nor will I ever, just leave me alone you obsessed freak!".
That cut deep in Aemond who simply nodded and walk away, Belarea regretted it immediately she wanted to apologise or say something anything to say she didn't mean it like but she froze all she could do was stand and watch as he left her standing alone, she left the party sad and in tears back to her tent.
That night Aemond was never the same again after that night after the event was done by that time it was around 3 in the morning at that point, Aemond had always been know to be a calm and caring person but after what he did at York with Vhagar and being embarrassed in front of the audience of Wessex lords and ladies he was longer that man he become bloodthirsty, angry and Jealous and Heartbroken.
He stalked around Winchester till he saw a Dane that had been converted to the Catholic faith, his rage boiled he grab his knife and stabbed the danish man to death it was too late for the Dane as he only just saw the him coming but was too drunk to stop it.
Aemond was he was done spat at the man lying dead on the floor he wiped his knife and concealed he grab a cloak and then grab his horse and left for Baelons estate in Mercia, but one thing was certain the Aemond they all knew was finally gone the darkness in Aemond arrived
