Chapter Text

"Announce it." The Maesters words spilled out of his mouth with no force nor any power behind it. "The Queen is dead."
and it felt as if the words were what finalised it, not the obviously gone, numb body laying on the blood soaked bed.
A thread snapped inside of those in the room along with the loss.
It should not even be a surprise, they all knew. She was found in a pool of her own blood already, -despite the drains drinking the red around her- and cuts along her body. One in each arm that opened red from wrist to elbow, more small tears on random places and one big wound in the middle of her chest.
The look was beyond scary. Much so that they had proclaimed her dead at first sight. And perhaps, if she were not the Queen, they would not have work on the women despite her shallow breaths.
In the end, one of the maesters had to push open the wooden door, letting the word out.
And after that, the news spread like wildfire, its flames lickling and flickering from mouth to mouth, from every corner to every men around. Ravens awaiting to be sent to eight pile houses of seven kingdoms.
One meant to reach the king and it felt like neither old nor the new gods could knew what that was to lead. Each word left on paper heavier than one before.
Apart from the apparent growing mourn that started to fill those who cared; people sheepishly wondered. All knowing the sun could set anytime or in any flap of wings.
They wondered what the king would do, now without his Queen, after everything... Doom must have been close.
an ill sight, the maester recorded on his own study. sick and disturbing. Unreal and somewhat purposeful. The Queen was found in a still breathing state with eeri calm on her.
We still wonder how that much blood could keep gushing out of one before death and why no voice were heared by her guards.
And her insides... as we inspected the Queen, we saw her insides and veins dry black. Blood seemed to stop pouring only once we took a look inside her chest only to find not even a clean drop.
Of course, that much was not told to the people and not had it been written to the king. Yet, There are whispers spoken before Dorne heard of her passing.
Assassination, Self killing, blood sacrifice -by the Queens own self or by one-. Revenge, a play displayed, a ritual... we do not know as well, I only assume it is somehow connected to magic.
And Some even say she is not dead and is on run, some say that is from her husband while some utter 'to him.'
At least the latter I know is not true. But one is outh to be and it will come out as I know the King will not rest until he knows what happened to the Snow Queen.
