"Confess..." Helaena spoke up, Alylla turned to her, "What?"
"I know that look sister."
Alylla shook her head, "It's been killing me from the inside."
Helaena listened, putting down what she had in her hand to listen, "I... slept with our brother," Helaena titled her head to the side, "Aegon."
Helaena nodded slowly, deep down she didn't care, he was her brother and they weren't as close as Alylla was with the two brothers, "But what's been killing me most, was whom spoke these to mother?"
"The saddest thing about betrayal is that it never comes from your enemies. But one you call friend."
Alylla eyes widen at those words that Helaena spoke, whom didn't even realize she had spoken words. Alylla's mind already knowing whom to ask first.
"I know whom," She spoke standing up, "Alylla?" Helaena asked, missing something.
"I must speak with a friend," Alylla spoke, placing a kiss on Helaena's cheek but not before ruffling the twins silver hair, before leaving.

ALYLLA'S footsteps were heard, they echoed.
Alylla went to the Weirwoods tree, near the gardens. Hoping to find the person she'd wanted to find.
She met with the back of the lady, "I knew I would find you here," Alylla spoke out, making the woman jump slightly.
"Alylla."
Lady Saena turned her body, "Where were you the other night?" Alylla questioned, her eyes meeting lady Saena, whom laughed nervously, "Oh come on, I was in the castle, most likely finding some sleep."
Alylla nodded, "Right."
"The saddest thing about betrayal is that it never comes from your enemies. But one you call friend," Alylla repeated her own sisters words to lady Saena, "What?"
"Who paid you? To do it?" Alylla asked, she already knew it was her; whom spy on her that night. Her own sisters prophecy told her it all.
"It's not all that easy, Alylla."
Alylla shook her head, "No. You. I trusted you the most!"
Lady Saena nodded, "I know, I know. But I didn't have a choice!"
Alylla laughed, "A lady of court not having a choice to spy on the princess of the seven kingdoms..."
Lady Saena looked down, her mind racing, "Why?" Alylla voice broke. But she got no answer, "I would never tell anyone you fucked Aegon in a pleasure house!"
"Lair!"
Lady Saena had tears falling down her face, Lady Saena moved towards her to grab her hands, to hold them, "Alylla, princess, you are like a sister to me. Please. Forgive me!"
Alylla couldn't, because of her the word was spreading about her being a whore. It was because of her that she must wed.
"No."
"Alylla please..."
"No! You. I never wish to see you again!"
Alylla felt the tears fall, sobbing in front of her so called best friend, whom had her own tears running down her own face, "Aly?"
Alylla shook her head, her voice breaking, "I trusted you."
Alylla ripped her hands out of lady Saena's, as she turned to leave. Lady Saena watching with tears in her eyes.
