chapter twelve !
the summoning of a new age
◆
ALAYNE, 134 AC
Gaze narrowed, Alayne pursed her lips in challenge. Jace sat across from her with equal determination, his jaw clenched. To his right, Luke's eyes were wide as they flickered between them like a candle's flame in the wind. Baela and Rhaena were on either side of their older sister, the former sitting with her arms crossed and a brow lifted, and the latter could do little to hide her mirth, hands covering her mouth to muffle her giggles.
On the lounges across the room, Rhaenyra and Daemon sat with their youngest children, toddler Aegon on the floor playing with his father and big brother Joffrey, and little Viserys cradled in his mother's arms. Both parents shared amused grins.
"I call bullshit," Jace hissed, earning a sharp protest from Rhaenyra for his language in front of the babies.
Alayne slammed both hands on the table, her cards landing with a smack. "Check the fucking pile," she commanded in Valyrian, switching to the language since the little ones wouldn't understand it yet.
