Rhaenyra and Rhaegar rush into the hall to see everyone shouting and yelling at each other while Daemon and Helaena watch from the side lines amused. Rhaenyra and Rhaegar rush to their sons' sides looking over them as everyone argues sounding like little children.

Helaena who was growing to look just like her mother, stood tall and true watching annoyed and tired. If Rhyaella had not died then people would have thought Helaena was her mother as she stood with her father Prince Daemon.

Daemon stands an arm around Helaena's shoulders as she lent her head back onto his shoulder watching as their Aegon argued with Aemond son of Alicent Hightower with Jacaerys, Lucerys, Baela and Rhaena on his side with Aemond (Hightower boy) and Alicent. 

While Viserys tries to get them to quieten, finally Helaena steps out from her father's arm and says loudly 'Quiet! You all sound like children'

Everyone looks over at Helaena who looks back at them an eyebrow raised as Daemon smiles amused. 'Can you figure it out before the sun rises?' She says 'Because until you do we are not allowed leave and I would like to sleep'

Helaena looks around at them all before stepping back with a nod of approval as her father puts his arm around her shoulders again and kisses the side of her head just above her ear.


The rest of the argument is tuned out by Helaena as she watches unhearing until she sees Alicent take Viserys' knife and run at Rhaenyra. Quickly before anything can happen Helaena steps in front of her cousin's family grabbing the knife with her hand.

Alicent looks at her shocked as Helaena looks coolly back at her as blood drips down from her hand with is clenched around the blade as Daemon rushes forwards instantly becoming the worried father.

'Now they see you for what you are, your grace' Helaena spits as she glares at Alicent who thinks for a moment it is Rhyaella glaring at her. 'How does it feel how the mask can be dropped?' Helaena smirks before pushing Alicent back into Viserys who looks at his niece worried as blood falls from Helaena's hand to the ground.

Helaena looks at her father as he picks up her hand worried before hugging her tightly as he looks at Viserys and Alicent who looks at the knife in her hand before quickly dropping it as she looks at her niece-in-law who's family quickly surround her making sure she is okay before glaring at Alicent.

How I am not sure if you have ever had 11 Targaryens glaring at you hate in their eyes murder in their hearts, but it would freeze the hardest of soldier. So, as Alicent stands with her husband with Daemon, Rhaenyra, Rhaegar, Aegon, Aemond, Rhaenys, Helaena, Jacaerys, Lucerys, Baela and Rhaena glare at her she is glad looks cannot kill a person.

Even her own Aegon, Aemond and Helaena were looking at her horrified. Aegon in particular glares at his mother before looking worried over at his cousin who looks back over at him before looking over at her father who is glaring at Alicent.

'I want her punished!' roars Daemon scaring everyone bar his own children as he glares at Viserys and goes to move forwards making everyone before him step back but is stopped by Helaena who raps her hand around her father's sleeve.

'Papa, please-' Helaena starts

'She hurt my daughter and I demand she be punished!' Daemon cuts Helaena off as he glares at his brother who looks between his brother and his wife calculating.

'Very well' Daemon says after Viserys does not say anything for several moments. Daemon steps out of Helaena's clutches as he pulls his dagger from his belt. Everyone tries to stop him is given a bone chilling glare making them step back as Daemon walks over to Alicent who stands petrified of her brother by law.

'Daemon-' she begins but is cut of by a pain in her arm. She looks down to see Daemon had cut her on the arm. The cut starts to bleed heavily as Ser Cristin Cole rushes over to the Queen before turning to Daemon furious

'How dare you' he says 

'Careful,' says Daemon 'people only act that concerned for a brother, a sister, a son, a daughter... or a lover'

The new Lord of Harrenhal and the man from Dorne freeze horrified as Daemon turns and returns to his daughter whispering to her in High Valryon as he cups her face before turning to the Greens

'I will not be so generous next time, consider this a warning'


From now on the story will be told from Helaena's POV (BTW the daughter of Rhyaella and Daemon. Who will also be played by Charlize Theron)
