"So...." I said as I stood on the rampart of the castle, "So that's what happened....."
Olyver was kneeling down behind me, "Yes." He said, "I just heard the news as well. I was getting the report from Ezra, he is the one who informed me."
"Daella." I said as I looked down, "What a shame, she must be devastated."
I was just told that a mob broke out in King's Landing, and coincidentally, both Daella and Viserra were there. They were caught up in the chaos, and Daella suffered an accident, losing the child in her belly.
It was not something I expected to hear, I was a bit surprised by it.
"Yes, My Lord." He said, "From what I can tell, Prince Aemon is also devastated by this. The Crown is in mourning."
I sighed, "Well..." I said, "I figure both Maegelle and Saera would want to go there and show some support."
"Right." He said
"How did she fall, if you don't mind me asking." I said as I looked ahead, "Daella...."
"Nobody knows." Olyver said
"Hm." I said, "Interesting."
"And nobody will." He said
I glanced at him, ".....Hm....." I said, "I see."
He didn't lift his gaze up, he simply looked down as he was kneeling down on one knee.
No words needed to be spoken.
"Yes." He said, "I will say no more."
"Very well." I said, "You are dismissed. There is nothing else I need from you. And Olyver."
He looked up at me, "Yes?"
"You are clean." I told him before walking away, "That is all."
"Thank you." He said as I walked away

"I want to be there for her." Maegelle said softly as she sat on the couch, "This is horrible."
Vaella was sitting on her lap as she was holding a doll in her hand. Maegelle's hand was gently caressing her hair as she merely looked in front of her.
"I could take you there." I said as I leaned back, "But I doubt my presence would be appreciated."
Maegelle looked at me, "Isn't there anything you could do?"
"I am not the God of charity, Maegelle." I said, "I brought Daenerys back, that should be enough."
"But Drakken, this...." She said, "This is horrible, Daella lost her child. It is not something anyone should go through. What if I had gone throu-"
"Do not finish that sentence." I told her with a serious tone, "Maegelle, I need to remind you that your Father made the choice not to give me Daella. If she was mine, nothing would have happened to her and we would not be in this situation."
She frowned, "You must be glad, right?" She asked, "That Aemon is going through so much pain. He lost his wife and son years ago and now, he lost his unborn child. You must be happy about this."
"Would it make me feel better that the thought of his misery hasn't gone through my head?" I asked her, "Because that is the truth. I am a bit more regretful about Daella, the poor thing."
"You should at least go and heal her." She said softly, "Do at least that for her."
"As I said, I am no god of charity." I said, "If you want to heal her using the arts I taught you, be my guest. You can take Astorias and Vaella with you, have them meet their Grandmother. Rile them up a bit."
She frowned, "I...." She looked down, "I would like to be there, but.....I don't know if it is appropriate taking the girls there."
There was a knock on the door and I looked up to see that Jocelyn opened the door and walked in.
"Is this...." She said softly, "Is this a bad time?"
Maegelle looked at her, "Lady Jocelyn." She said, "How can we help you?"
"Well..." Jocelyn looked behind her, "The Princess Astorias was crying a lot, giving Princess Saera so much trouble. She is trying her best to comfort her without Lord Drakken's help."
I sighed and stood up, "I'll go and handle it." I said as I looked at Maegelle, "We'll speak later."
As I walked over to the door, Jocelyn gave me a look.
I exited the room and began to make my way down the hallway, hearing that Jocelyn was walking behind me.
After a few minutes of walking, I heard her footsteps getting faster, as if she was trying to catch up to me.
I glanced at her, "What is it?" I asked as I stopped, "Is there something on your mind?"
She stood in front of me, "Well..." She said softly, "I.....I just wanted to ask you something."
"Here is a question from me first." I said, "How is it that you went from Mya's wing to Maegelle's?"
"Lady Mya allowed it." She said as she looked down, flustered, "Is that a problem?"
"Hm." I said, "I guess not. What is it?"
She looked at me, "D-Did I have children?"
I blinked, "Huh?"
"Before I died." She started, "Did I have children?"
"Why do you ask?" I asked her
"Well, you said that you slipped an aphrodisiac in my drink to cause a passionate night." She said, "And considering the kind of man I know you to be, you wouldn't do that for no reason. So I have come to the realization that I could have been a mother."
"Is there any memory of that?" I asked her, a bit intrigued
"No." She shook her head, "It's just a thought."
"Hm." I said, "Well, what does it matter?"
She reached for my hand, "It matters to me." She said softly, her eyes looking directly into mine, "Please. I need to know."
I pulled away from her, "What you need to know......" I started, "Is that I am the one who resurrected you, brought you back from the void."
"I can easily send you back should you overstep."

"I am sorry for this...." Aemon sniffed, "Daella...."
He was sitting next to her bed, holding her hand as she laid on her side, tears in her eyes.
"Aemon...." She said softly, "I should be the one who is sorry. I lost our child...."
Aemon leaned in to her, kissing her on the forehead, "My sweet love.." He said, his voice shaky, "It is not your fault.....and I know that it hurts me.....but this pain is nothing compared to what you are going through. I......I should have been with you. If I were, this would not have happened."
Daella's lips quivered, "It hurts....everywhere...." She said softly, "But it hurts more...here...."
She pointed at her chest when she said that.
"I will make this right." Aemon grabbed both of her hands, "I will, I swear."
"Don't...." She said, "Don't do anything foolish."
"I am sick of it." Aemon said as tears ran down his cheeks, "I am so sick of it. I cannot handle holding it in, my daughters deserve to know. The Realm deserves to know what Drakken did."
"Aemon." Daella said softly, "We are hurting right now....I am hurting. Do not do this....it will simply open the wound even more and your daughters will be in so much more pain. They are hurt as well. To them, their mother lost their sibling. It...you cannot.....please...."
Aemon looked down, "I need him to do this for us." He said, "If he brought Jocelyn and Daenerys back. He can do this for us, he can make things right."
"Don't." Daella said as tears rolled down her cheek, "Don't give me hope, Aemon. Please....."
"I have to try." Aemon said, "I have to. For you. For us."
"I have to make him bring our child back."
