“ halaena, ” her tone immediately softened when her sister entered the room. rhaenyra stood up to face her, the smile on her face warm and welcoming. she gestured toward the chair by her side. it hurt her, seeing her sister, after everything that had happened—rhaenyra very much blamed herself for her sister's tragedy.
her sister had lost her child, in her name. she had not been the one to bear the knife, nor to order it, but she was just as culpable as the person who had. given it had been her husband. there is nothing she can do, nor say, that would make things right. but she would try. “ please sit. thank you for coming. i hope they are treating you well. ” she had given everyone strict orders to treat her sister as what she was: a princess of the realm. she was not the enemy. halaena was an innocent.
even without the deal she had made with alicent, she never would have hurt halaena. she sat back down, and as her sister spoke, she felt that fist tightening in her chest. “ i cannot help but feel that i am the one who should be asking you that, my sweet sister. ” she thought about it for a moment, and then, leaned forward, one of her hands reaching out to grab halaena's atop the table. “ whatever you need, whatever is within my reach to do for you, i will. though i cannot right the wrongs that have been done, i can at least give you whatever it is you wish. ” rhaenyra's voice trembled just a little. she meant what she was saying. halaena may be the only sibling she has left, when the war is done.
