Oh, God

I completely forgot
I’m so
Sorry. I’ll light a candle for him tonight.

It’s been a long few days.

The doctors said two things about Jacaerys - that there was no sign of a struggle, despite having been drowned, which is not an instant death and so there SHOULD be a struggle, and that they found a long blond hair on him.

So, as far as I can figure, there are three possibilities.
1) it was someone that he trusted.
2) he was drugged - his betrothed Baela doesn't believe this is likely because he was meant to meet her after the party rather than linger, but he could have been drugged forcefully.
or 3) some kind of magic.

And so, three potential culprits, at least that I can think of.

1) Daemon. Which sounds completely insane, but he IS completely insane. He murdered his first wife, he’s murdered children, he’s sent assassins at night to target people in their beds. Rhaenyra and Jacaerys both have a claim to the throne he wants. He has motive, ability, is sick in the head, Jacaerys wouldn’t have suspected him, and he has long blond hair. That he can make it look easy to accuse Aemond, all the better for him.

2) Lestat. He likes younger brunettes. Parisa was drained of every drop of blood, so one of the vampires has to be involved and he’s the only blond one. And they have the power to calm people, which would explain the lack of struggle.

3) Alia. Power of mind control, she could force somebody to walk right into the lake and they wouldn’t have a choice. She’s been good to me so I don’t want to accuse her unless I’m completely sure, but she’s very nonchalant about her history of murder, and would have the easiest time of it out of anyone.
