Visera had not been around the whole of her family in six years, and that time had been a night filled with trouble and she expected this time would be no different. She had Aemond promise that he would not start a brawl or argument with their nephews. It took some convincing but he had agreed, only for the sake of her and their unborn child for the maester said too much stress will cause the babe harm.
"Where is your brother, where is Daeron?" The Queen asked walking up to them as the pair walked into the room, Visera shook her head because in truth she had no clue. Aemond though, he knew their brother was riding his dragon. " Seems he lost track of time, mother. He will be here." But they both knew he in fact would not be there, but atlas she nodded returning to her seat.
The tension in the room was high as Aemond helped Visera into her seat. Soon after the king's arrival, it was silent. Visera had always liked silence, but not this kind for it was painful. With her hand caressing her swollen stomach she looked towards her younger sister. " You look rather beautiful Lena." The red haired girl knew Heleana got uncomfortable in these situations, so she had tried to lighten the mood.

" This is an occasion for celebration it seems. My daughter will soon give birth." He pointed his hand towards Visera who sent him a smile. " My grandsons, Jace and Luke, will marry their cousins Baela and Rhaena, further strengthening the bond between our houses. A toast to the princess and princes." They all raised a glass, taking a gulp as this night was passing by slower than anticipated.
" Let us toast as well Prince Lucerys, a future Lord of the Tides." Aemond and Visera shared a look as Aegon leaned over to Jace more than likely acting a fool. Visera shook her head as she thought those days were behind them, but obviously not.
