Do you investigate the crash?
Scouring The Debris
You make your way over to the carriage, climbing off Aerion when you are upon the wreckage. You then climb on top and gaze inside. There appear to be two people inside. One of them is a knight clad in plate armor, who appears to have passed out. The other looks to be a finely dressed woman, who is still conscious. You call out, "Are you alright?"
The woman turns to face you and weakly calls out, "I... I believe so."
"Hold on; I'll get you out!" you exclaim. You then lower yourself into the carriage through the window and help the woman sit up, soon noticing the bulge in her abdomen. This would have been tough enough with a regular woman, but this one is heavy with child. Still, you are not dissuaded.
You notice a large hole in the ceiling of the carriage, and you use the heel of your boots to make it bigger. Once it is wide enough for both you and the woman, you help her through with her arm around your shoulders.
On the other side, you find yourself confronted by a group of gold cloaks. One of them draws a sword on you, but the woman stops him and says, "Enough! This young man is only helping me."
"But Your Grace..." the gold cloak begins.
"I have spoken," she interrupts, though the manner of how she was addressed did not escape your notice. Looking at her in surprise, she just smiles and says, "Allow me to introduce myself. I am Queen Aemma, wife of King Jaeherys."
