Chapter 7 (alone)

                                    

                                          
A loud knocking on her chamber doors startled her awake. She got out of bed quickly and pulled on a robe. 
"Enter!" She snapped, pissed that somebody woke her up. 
The doors opened and a guard stepped in, looking flushed and sweaty as he breathed heavily. 
"My lady, there has been an incident" He said between gasped. "Involving the Princes, and the Lady's Rhaena and Baela."
That was all it took for Laenys to dash out of the room, going towards where she could hear yelling. 
She pushed the doors open, stopping for only a second to scan the room. She saw maesters, blood, and tears. 
"Lucerys!" She cried, rushing to her nephew, taking his face in her hands as she knelt in front of him. 
"Show me, show me!" 
Lucerys pulled his hand away from his face, showing the blood pouring from his nose, and the cut in his lip. 
"Oh Like..." Laenys said softly, her face wincing as she tried wiping the blood from his face. She turned her head to look for her nieces, noticing they weren't with Lucerys and Jacaerys. 
"Girls! Come here" She beckoned, making the girls quickly run to their aunt. Laenys quickly grabbed then and pulled them into a quick hug before looking over every inch of them for injury. 
"Are you hurt?"
"No, we're okay Aunt Laenys" The girls said at the same time. 
"Luke!" Rhaenyra yelled, rushing into the room and towards her son as everyone else piled into the room finally. 
Laenys was busy fussing over the girls to realize that Alicent had turned her attention towards her. 
"And you! You think you can just steal my sons crown?!" Alicent screamed at Laenys who stood to her full height and used her body as a barrier between Alicent and the twins. 
"If you've forgotten Alicent, it was not I who chose to be the new heir, it was your husband, the King" Laenys said, her tone harsh as her father placed his hand on her shoulder. 
"See Criston" Alicent said, turning her gaze to him. "Bring me the eye of Lucerys Velaryon" 
That caused instant panic as Lucerys started yelling in terror, placing himself in the small between Rhaenyra and Laenys, gripping both women tightly. 
"Alicent!" 
"He can chose which eye to keep, a luxury which he did not grant my son" 
"Alicent, stop!" 
"Ser Cole! Do not move!" Viserys snapped. 
"Take the eye! Now!" Alicent yelled. 
"You are sworn to the Kings Guard!"
"You are sworn to ME!" Alicent roared, tears of anger and frustration gathering in her eyes. 
Criston stayed planted in place, not daring to move. Laenys had a sharp glare held on the man, that being the main reason he refused to move. 
"If you come anywhere near my nephew with malicious intent I will personally castrate you" Laenys growled, getting angrier by the second. 
The chaos died down enough for Laenys to turn around and kneel in front of Lucerys again, inspecting his bloodied face some more. 
As Viserys turned his back to Alicent, she rushed foward taking the knife from the kings side and raising it as she turned towards Laenys. 
"Alicent!"
