It has been a short time since your husband, Aegon, ascended to the iron throne. However, even this short period of time was enough to start a bloody war.

Aegon's half-sister, Rhaenyra, claimed the throne as her own. That's why she sent her sons as messengers to the houses to gather allies. However, one of Rhaenyra's sons, Lucerys, was murdered by Aemond.

Lucerys' death created a hunger for revenge in Rhaenyra's followers. And to avenge the death of Rhaenyra's son, two assassins were sent to the Red Keep. These assassins who called themselves blood and cheese murdered your son Jaehaerys.

And this action, which was nothing but cruelty, was called revenge. A son for a son.

Jaehaerys' death had affected both you and Aegon differently.

Aegon was secretly devastated by the murder of his young son. He was drinking more and more each day, becoming more impulsive and yelling at people. Aegon did not want to control his anger or actions since Jaehaerys died. He didn't care about dignity, he wanted revenge.

Blood, one of Jaehaerys' murderers, had been captured. And Aegon tortured Blood himself. No trace of Jaehaerys' other murderer, Cheese, was found. But Aegon would not let his son's blood remain on the ground. That's why he killed all the men he suspected of being Cheese and hung their corpses on the door of the Red Keep.

He had killed dozens of them, but that had not brought Jaehaerys back. And no matter how much Aegon wanted to not show it to his council, his heart was breaking more and more with pain every day.

When he came to her room today, Aegon was sitting in his chair. And he was crying in a way he never showed to you or to his own men. He always wanted to stand strong, being seen as weak was his worst fear.

Jaehaerys' heart was torn to pieces by his pain. Although he hid his sadness behind his anger, it was very difficult for him to escape his sadness when he was alone.

But he lost himself in his son's memories. He wasn't even aware you entered the room.
