In a horrifying instant, Jaehaerys was killed, his life taken to satisfy the cruel decree of vengeance. Helaena, paralyzed with grief and shock, instinctively grabbed you and Jaehaera, fleeing the blood-soaked room. She stumbled through the dark corridors, her heart pounding with fear and sorrow.

Bursting into Queen Alicent’s chambers, she found Alicent and Ser Criston Cole in a compromising and shameful position. Alicent’s face blanched at the intrusion, but the sight of Helaena’s wild eyes and trembling form quickly brought reality crashing down.

“They killed the boy.” Helaena could barely murmur as she collapsed onto the floor, her voice a broken whisper. Her arms clutched you and Jaehaera tightly, as if her grip alone could shield you from the horrors of the night. Trembling with shock and panic, she rocked back and forth, her mind unable to fully grasp the brutal act that had just shattered her world. The room fell into a stunned silence, the weight of loss and the echo of vengeance hanging heavy in the air.
