Ever since Viserys...
Rhaenyra heard of what had happened after Verena had come to her just after. They both walked to go and meet with Verena's husband and Rhaenyra's lover. When they reached the room, Verena could hear Edmund, Harwin and Lyonel yelling at each other. They spoke about the shame Edmund and Harwin had just brought on the Strong name. Lyonel screamed about the rumours of Rhaenyra's children's father. And their illegitimacy.
Rhaenyra stood listening while Verena slowly walked away to go and find her children but before she left, she softly kissed Rhaenyra's cheek who just smiled slightly at the gesture. Before she walked away leaving Rhaenyra.

Verena sat in her chambers braiding Athena's hair while Maelor practised his High Valyrian. Verena asked Maelor questions for him to answer in Valyrian,
"qilōni istan aegon se conqueror's zaldrīzes, issa jorrāelagon? "Who was Aegon the Conqueror's dragon, my love?
"bona's eais mama, balerion se zōbrie draed, Nyke jaelagon naejot kipagon nykeā zaldrīzes." "That's easy mama, Balerion The Black Dread.... I want to ride a dragon."
Verena chuckled before beckoning Maelor over to her.
"zaldrīzoti issi fearsome creatures, issa dōna valonqar. Nyke emagon ivestretan ao naenie jēdi hen skori nyke flew va syrax rūsīr rhaenyra. Konīr's daorun olvie raqagon being va nykeā zaldrīzes. Ao kostagon daor emagon nykeā zaldrīzes nykeā sagon nykeā zaldrīzes yn. Mēre tubis maybe ao'll emagon se chance, sepār raqagon nyke emagon. Ao'll emagon naejot mazverdagon ēlī." "Dragons are fearsome creatures, my sweet boy. I have told you many times of when I flew on Syrax with Rhaenyra. There's nothing quite like being on a dragon. You may not have a dragon or be a dragon but... One day maybe you'll have the chance, Just like I have.... You'll have to grow first."
Verena laughed watching her son pout. She loves her children, that fact would never be trifled with. Maelor began to reply when Edmund entered, his eyes meeting Verena and shaking his head.
"maelor gūrogon aōha mandia naejot aōha tistākēlio se pikībagon zȳhon nykeā tembyr bē zaldrīzoti, okay? Nyke jorrāelagon naejot ȳzaldrīzes rūsīr ao kepa." "Maelor take your sister to your room and read her a book about dragons, okay? I need to speak with you father."
Maelor nodded and gave his mother a kiss on the cheek. And took his sister out of the room. The door shut and Verena stood up and walked towards Edmund, He spoke surprising her,
"I am being sent back home to Harrenhal, You and my children will be coming with me. My father is outraged by Harwin's infidelity, But somehow he got out unscathed with no punishment. We leave the next night."
