''Syrax brought a fresh clutch three eggs three eggs!'' Daemon exclaimed "place them in a North facing warming circle.' Daemon instructed passing them off.
''At once my prince." They took the eggs from Daemon. "the maester brought this.... just arrived from the princess Rhaenys on driftmark.' Daemon took the scroll as the two men walked away Daemon read it over slowly.

''The Conqueror and his sisters sailed with a great army.'' Jace repeated
''Se Blakuata Rasho dranot vilinio viartis." Maester Gerardys told him in high valayian. Jace let out a sigh as he tried to remember the right translation.
''And landed at the Blackwater Rush." Jace told him
"Dranot." He corrected and Jace's face pinched
'Dranot, Dranot, Dranot.'' He repeated again and again.
''At the end?'' Gerardys urged. Jace closed his eyes as he paced.
''The mouth.'' Rhaenyra told him as she walked forward.
''Mouth!'' he declared a moment too late.
"Ah, come on, Jace, you knew that."
" Dranot, dranot, dranot vilinio viartis. Dranot, dranot." He repeated again. Avalon smiled kissing his forehead. He looked up at her with ambition.
''Come on, Jace. Perhaps that's enough for this morning." Rhaenyra suggested.
''No, no. I-I want to keep going.'' Jace assured. "I can get it. Watch mama." Jace instructed. Rhaenyra didnt mind that her boys called Avalon mama, she loved that loved her too. Avalon nodded stroking his hair. ''Maester.'' He begged.
''Guesi misenakson Aegon undas.'' Gerardys went on
''Aegon... ordered that the trees should be..." Jace pursed his lips in concentration ''...killed.''
''Felled.' Avalon corrected as she moved to little joffrey. She knelt beside him and he beamed up at her. "Hi little love." She whispered kissing the top of his head.
''It is a related word.' Jace offered hopefully.
"It is." Avalon agreed.
''I don't expect you to learn High Valyrian in a day, Jace.'' Rhaenyra reminded him
''A king should honor the traditions of his forbears.'' Jace reminded her.
''Well... unless you're planning to depose your own mother, you have plenty of time to study.'' Rhaenyra reminded him.
"Jace is too sweet for murder." Avalon assured. Jace nodded a laugh on his lips as the door opened. "He agrees, so modest too." Jace laughed out.
"Leave us." Rhaenyra told them all as Daemon came in.
''Joffrey... come.'' Jace said extending a hand for him.
"Check on Luke and the girls for me." Avalon requested as daemon moved with urgency. "Baby whats wrong?" Avalon questioned as Daemon reached her. He held out the letter and Rhaenyra read over Avalon's shoulder.
"Vaemond... Gods..." Avalon tsked. "He has no right, no grounds." Avalon assured. Rhaenyra didnt seem so confident though.
''He means to call into question Luke's legitimacy. And by extension Jace, and by extension my own claim to the throne''. Rhaenyra remarked appalled. Avalon held onto Rhaenyra's hand.
"Viserys loves you, he will never listen to Vaemond's idiocy." Avalon assured.
" Vaemond cares only about Driftmark and the Velaryon line. Not about our politics. Has he made common cause with Otto Hightower yet?" Rhaenyra went on and Daemon tilted his head from side to side in contemplation.
''Hm, this is what I fear. Rhaenys has flown to court.'' Daemon agreed.
"Rhaenys doesnt care for Vaemond." Avalon countered.
"No." Daemon agreed.
''Surely, she cannot be planning to back him.'' Rhaenyra added confused.
''No. Whatever disagreements we may have had, she's not cruel..." Avalon assured.
"Or stupid enough to do that.'' Daemon murmured. Avalon nudged him.
''Disagreements?'' Rhaenyra countered.
"Oh honey." Avalon cooed.
''She believes we had her son killed so that we might marry.'' Daemon reminded her and Rhaenyra rolled her eyes.
"Yes... we did." Rhaenyra agreed kissing Avalons cheek. Avalon smiled brightly leaning into Rhaenyra.
"Rhaenys still holds no love for us."
"Yet she told you what she was doing?" Avalon countered.
"Technically, she sent it to you." Daemon admitted. Avalon looked at the signing again. It did say Avalon.
"Reading my ravens husband." Avalon tsked. Rhaenyra grumbled.
''Has the vipers' venom spread so far?''
"Vipers you mean Otto Hightower, yes." Avalon agreed. "I believe he will poison the realms against you."
''Those vipers rule in my father's name. And my father..." Rhaenyra sighed. ''What choice do I have?''
''To King's Landing, then.'' Daemon agreed.
"Why?" Amara questioned.
"To see uncle Viserys.' Avalon answered packing a bag for her girls.
"Mama?" Amara questioned.
"Yes my love?"
"Why didnt you have any more children?" Amara questioned. Avalon stopped packing.
"Because you and your sisters are perfect." Avalon answered.
"Do you not love daddy anymore?"
"I love him almost as much as I love you." Avalon corrected.
"But Nyra has more children with daddy."
"Yes. It's wonderful." Avalon agreed.
"Is it?" amara countered.
"You know I love Nyra very, very much."
"More than daddy?"
"More than daddy what?" Daemon questioned.
"Nothing." Avalon assured as she sealed up Amaras bag.
"Give mama another baby." Amara corrected. Avalon laughed out.
"Right now?" Daemon questioned pulling Avalon's hips back into him.
