Anduin woke up with a damn strong hangover in a strangely familiar chamber. He hoped it was his and not some nobleman's. He massaged his temples and sighed deeply. He knew this was how reminiscing with Muradin would end. It's just a pity that he doesn't remember anything from those memories. With his gaze he started looking for the dwarf. Lothar found him lying on a sturdy oak table, snoring loudly. He walked up to him and started shaking him
Muradin, get up! - Lothar shouted
I am ready to serve - the dwarf got to his feet with incredible speed
What happened? - Anduin asked the friend
You don't remember boy, we drank it clean - announced Muradin with dreamy eyes
Lothar was drenched in winter sweat. He prayed in his spirit that it was about the tavern.
Her? - Lothar cautiously asked
A tavern, of course. I see that you must have finally started to feel the lack of a woman," replied Muradin undeterred by Lothar's gaze.
Okay I'm going to get myself sorted out somehow. See you later, I'll catch you later," the dwarf noncommittally waved his hand already leaving
Lothar was brought a bath and prepared his clothes. Once he had freshened up he considered what he should do. The Velaryons should be here soon. Lothar got out of the bath and looked through his clothes. He heard the door open unceremoniously.
I told you I could dress myself," Lothar sighed loudly, turning his head toward the intruder. It turned out that the intruder was not a servant, but a noblewoman who seemed strangely familiar to him. After a moment, he recalled that it was the young girl from the tournament who had been so enamored of him, the daughter of Sea Serpent Laena Velaryon. She stared at him shamelessly, absorbing the sight of him with eyes darkened with desire. He frantically shook his head looking for something to cover himself with. Laena approached him cautiously as if he were a stranded animal
You were already impressive then, but now," Laena left the sentence unfinished while running her hand over his bare chest.
Lothar held his breath and closed his eyes. He felt that if he did not do something right away the event would clearly go beyond waving his hand
I remember you from the tournament, you were this cute little girl," said Lothar not knowing how else to start the conversation
Laena stopped and raised an eyebrow - do I still look like a girl? - she took two steps back so he could get a better look at her
Lothar admired her curvy figure and face with his eyes. Evidently she was no longer a girl Like Alicent the woman before him was phenomenal and ethereal. As if to emphasize her point, the girl took his hand and guided it to her breast hidden under the material. Without realizing what he was doing he squeezed it and the girl sighed. He took his hand away as if burned ashamed of his weakness.
Laena smiled superiorly, apparently recognizing that for the moment she had won.
I understand that now the time is too short, but you can be sure that we will return to this conversation," Laena smiled playfully, and on her way out she once again swept her eyes over him. Then she turned on her heel and left.
I'm in serious trouble," Lothar said to himself
Anduin quickly dressed and left the chamber. He began to walk collecting his thoughts, which were interrupted by a monstrous cry. He didn't realize it was possible to be so loud. He started to follow the source of the sound which was too difficult. He saw that the caregiver was trying to calm the girl down, judging by her clothes. When the child saw him, she immediately stopped crying while looking at him with large lavender eyes. Despite the different color, he knew they were Alicent's eyes. The servant turned around sobbing her eyes out
Lord Lothar forgive me, Princess Helane is quite... fussy. No one has been able to appease her - Pause - until now," the woman explained
Helaene put out her hands to him signaling that she wanted to be held. The servant made an apologetic face and began to move away from Anduin rocking Helaene. Judging by the child's forming grimace, this decision was not very optimal.
May I," asked Lothar extending his hands toward Helaene, who suddenly calmed down completely.
The attendant hesitated for a long moment but finally nodded and handed Helane to Lothar. The princess clung to him, relentlessly observing him as if she knew everything about him. When the analysis was over the child snuggled into him and immediately fell asleep.
You don't even realize how damn cute you are," Lothar told the sleeping princess
I find this whole view extremely charming and equally fascinating," replied a voice coming from behind the knight.
Lothar turned and saw Alicent with the biggest smile yet and something in her eyes that he could not quite identify
Your love, jaaa - stammered the attendant
Nothing has happened. I understand that Anduin is difficult to refuse, which my daughter apparently realizes - she gently stroked Helaene's head
You can leave us - she turned her head towards the servant girl
The woman bowed and left the chamber
You know, I was quite a difficult child myself - Lothar smiled crookedly - if the situation arises again I will be happy to help
Thank you
Alicent kissed Helaena's head then looked at him and judging by her furrowed brows and forehead deeply considered something. After a moment she nodded and placed a gentle kiss incredibly close to his lips. Lothar turned slightly red in the face.
