Saerela was shocked to learn that her aunt Laena had passed away and that everyone was going to Driftmark to attend her funeral. The journey itself wasn't scary, but seeing her family once more was. She was terrified that someone had learned about her improper behaviour that one night. At least not to her, nobody had mentioned anything. When she had brought it up to Aegon in private, he had entirely forgotten about it and waved her aside, claiming he was drunk.

So Saera began to spend more time with Aemond. They would complain about their lack of dragons and they would discuss their desire to one day possess one. When the time came for them to go for Driftmark, her anxiety gradually subsided and she became eager to meet her brothers. She pondered on whether they look different. They occasionally communicated by letters. Jace would give her regular updates on his training and Valyrian lectures. She could speak the language with ease due to how infatuated she was with learning the language.

Since Saerela didn't have a dragon, she would go by boat. If she did, though, she would be riding a dragon, which is not the case. She hadn't been on many boats, so spending a few days on one made her very ill. She spent the entire trip to Driftmark confined to bed. Helaena and occasionally Aemond would pay her a visit. Aegon didn't make any attempt to see her. She felt happy in some parts of her, but hurt in others. She anticipated that he would approach her after their encounter because they were getting married shortly and she had bled.

When the pain in the stomach and the dampness between her legs woke her up, she was terrified. Once the handmaiden saw the condition she was in, her handmaiden understood what was happening and got the Queen. Alicent told Saera that she was a woman now and was prepared for marriage. Saera had been fearful of what might happen ever since that morning.

Saera was standing at a wall looking over the sea when she heard slow steps behind her. She looked over and saw her mother who had a big smile on her face. Saera ran to her mother and hugged her. She felt her mothers hand at the back of her head

"Oh my sweet how you've grown," Rheanyra said, smiling down at her daughter.

"Mother I have missed you so much" Saerela said "I have improved on my Valyrian and I have read almost all of the books in the library" she boasts

Saerela looks to her mother who chuckles at her last sentence. She takes a hold of Saeras hand and they both walk towards her brothers who tackle her with a big hug.

All the children chatter about what they have done for the past two years. Telling each other stories and sharing secrets

"Vermax has grown so much sister you have to see one day" Jacaerys says, still holding on to his twin's hand. Saera looks at him and nods her head. Lucaerys pulls her away from Jace and hands her a small wooden dragon
