As Elaena and Jacaerys continued to dance, arm in arm, they stopped to look at Aemond stood. Just from the way he shot of from his seat Elaena could tell her uncle was going to cause utter chaos.
"Final tribute, to the health of my nephews, and niece..of course" Aemond began as he smirked, making Elaena eye him cautiously.
"Jace, Luke, Joffrey ....Elaena. Each of you wise, brave....strong" Aemond said holding his glass of wine.
"Aemond" Alicent said warning her son.
"Come, let us drain our cups to these four...strong Velaryons" Aemond said, his choice of words now settling upon the room.
"I dare you to say that again!" Jacaerys yelled to him.
"Shut your mouth, Uncle" Elaena warned him with a vicious look on her face.
"Why? Twas only a compliment" Aemond said beginning to walk up to the two that were on his left.
"Do you not think yourself strong? I believe you to be very strong indeed, niece" Aemond said now rubbing it in.
Jacaerys needed to hear no more of his uncles words, and as soon as he insulted Elaena he threw a punch, hitting his uncle on the nose.
Aegon grabbed Lucerys's head, and slammed it on the table. Elaena saw her twin and glared at her eldest uncle. She grabbed a nearby vase, and smashed it hardly on his head, making Daemon cheer at her actions.
Aegon, however did not find it amusing at all. He quickly lifted his head, before walking over to his niece and grabbing her by the throat harshly.
Before his actions could do any harm, Elaena kicked him harshly between his legs, making his squat in pain, groaning. Elaena saw this and quickly grabbed his head and threw it against the floor.
She then stepped back, feeling she he done enough but was quickly shoved onto the floor and soon as she turned, her forehead harshly colliding with the floor.
She looked up to see Aegon looking down at her smirking, but before she could reciprocate his actions the guards he grabbed her, yanking her away from the prince.
Jacaerys had slipped free on one of the guards hands, and ran up to fight his uncle again, but stopped when daemon intervened.
"Wait, wait" Daemon said making Jacaerys walk behind his uncle in a huff.
"Go to your quarters, all of you, now" Rhaenyra ordered. They all left, clearly still angered by their uncles words.
"Rhaenyra" Alicent said softly as she walked over to her.
"It's best, I think if we go back to Dragonstone" Rhaenyra said looking down.
Alicent placed her arm on Rhaenyras with a sad look. "But you've only just arrived" Alicent said sadly.
They both looked down at where Alicent had her hand on Rhaenyras, a wave of nostalgia washing over them. Being close like this felt natural to them both, and reminded them of when they were the best of friends, when they were only young.
Rhaenyra nodded her head with her eyes closed, before opening them to look at Alicent once more.
"Let me see the children home. I'll um... return on dragon back" Rhaenyra said.
Alicent smiled softly at the women's words, looking up at her old friend before saying "The king and I both, would like that"
Rhaenyra smiled at her before nodding one last time and leaving the dining the room.
Elaena walked through the halls, and she felt like crying. Why must she always be tormented for her looks? It is not her own fault, therefore she should not be teased about it everyday.
She bid all her family goodnight, continuing to walk with Jacaerys, as his chambers were the only ones close by to hers.
She leaned her head against his side as they walked, sighing every minute or so. She noticed he was quite tense.
"Are you alright?" Elaena asked softly. She knew he wasn't, but she also knew he'd never confide in her, he'd see himself as annoying.
"I just- Aemond can torment me all he pleases, but I cannot stand it when he does it to you!" Jacaerys yelled.
Elaena sighed taking his hand in hers "Jace, for some unknown reason, people enjoy upsetting others for their own entertainment. You must not let it get to you, that's what he wants. I've let it go, now you must too" She pleaded, stopping them from walking entirely.
Jacaerys looked away for a moment, before closing his eyes and sighing, nodding at her words, knowing she was right.
"Anyways, in years you shall be king, and so you may behead him if it pleases you so" She said smirking.
Jacaerys smiled at her words. He found it adorable that she was trying to cheer him up, and honestly it meant quite a lot to him.
"I must go to bed, it is late" Elaena told him with a sad smile.
"Indeed" he replied, kissing her on the lips softly, before smiling and pulling away to open his chamber doors.
"Jace?" Elaena called out.
He turned to look at her, wondering what she was going to say to him.
"I'm glad it's you I'll marry, really, I'm glad" she told him with a smile.
"And I you" he said making her smile at him gently, bidding him goodnight for a second time that evening.
They shared a look before both of them closed their doors, happiness lingering inside them from their conversation.
However their happiness was about to be ripped away from them, as sad news was now to be told. But this sad news brought along even worse news.......
