Helaena sits in her uncle's rooms holding his dead hand as the maids clean his body. In the council room Alicent sits at the head defending Helaena from the men who want Rhaenyra to be the Queen.
When they ask where the Princess is Alicent says she is in Viserys' rooms over watching as the maids put her Uncle into his burring clothes.
Helaena looks around as Rhaenys walks into the room. Helaena smiles at her Aunt who smiles back at her as she hugs her tightly
'I do not want this, lady Aunt' Helaena says into Rhaenys' shoulder. 'I do not want to be Queen, help me'
'If you are not Queen, then Aegon is King' Rhaenys says
'What of Rhaenyra?'
'She, I believe would bring this realm to its knees'
'Rhaegar will not stand for his wife not to be Queen. He has wanted the throne for as long as I remember'
'You will be Queen, Helaena. The people love you as they did your mother. They will stand behind you'
'Will you be with me?'
'Of course, I will. Driftmark is with you'
'Thank you'
Rhaenys kisses Helaena's head as Helaena hugs her tightly.
Helaena walks the streets of Kingslanding as the Hightowers and their Targaryens ride in the carriages refusing to 'lower' themselves to the hight of the commoners who cheer as Helaena walks past them with the Velaryon soldiers along with the Targaryen soldiers behind her.
Helaena waves to them and they wave back cheering as she walks into the Dragon Pit where she walks through the crowds who kneel to her as she walks to Rhaenys who stands with the Greens behind her as she holds the crown of Good Queen Alysanne in her hands which had been mixed with Old King Jacaerys'. The wood of Driftmark was the thing that held them all together.
As Helaena reaches Rhaenys she kneels down before her. Rhaenys smiles as she puts the crown onto Helaena's head before she stands looking at the people
'Long Live Queen Helaena!'
'Queen Helaena!'
The people yell
