I stood next to my aunt Rhaenys as we looked towards the queen wrapped with her son on the pryer. Tears fell from my  eyes. Poor aemma, poor baelon. The queen had suffered many failed labors and miscarriages and finally she succumbs to her downfall. A new fear unlocked inside of  laenyra. The fear of childbirth.

" Dra- Dracarys" Rhaenyra lets out with a quiver.

I look as the pryer becomes inflamed in dragon fire. Tears leaving my eyes as I turn and walk away, back to the castle for the feast. 

I enter the castle wall and find myself in the throne room. I walk toward the velaryon table and sit next to my father. 

we sit and eat and talk with others.

Until the music began and everyone starts to dance, I sat in my seat, what was there to dance or celebrate for. Our queen had just died trying to bear an heir for the king and his kingdom and their celebrating.  

" laenyra get up and dance with the others" My father tells me sternly. 

He gives me a look to not disobey him, so i stand and walk to the center of the ball room. 

I bow my head as I join the dance.

 I feel an arm grabbing mine.

 I turn around to be faced with Tyland lannister. 

I give him a polite smile as he asks me for a dance I turn to look at my father who gives me a stern look and tells me to continue with him.

 I feel as he takes my hand and we begin to dance with the others, He spins me and then pulls me into him closely. 

" I've always dreamed of dancing with you Princess , your truly a beauty" He tells me 

I look away from his face and see otto and daemon standing from there seats and looking at me and Tyland.

Before i knew it daemon was walking down the stairs from his seat and towards me and Tyland. 

" I shall take this beauty from your grasp lord tyland" Daemon tells him with his evil smirk. 

Tyland lets go of me and bows walking away. Daemon grabs my hand and takes me into the center of the ball room where we dance together. Everyone stared at us even the hightowers looked shocked.  He spins me a couple times before lifting me in the air and putting me back onto the ground.

" You are the most exquisite girl I ever met" He tells me in my ear.

I smile to myself as the music ends, and we pull apart from one another.

" Until next time prince daemon" I tell him as I bow and leave the throne room with a smile.

As i am exiting the throne room I bump into someone.

" Sorry my lord" I let out before i look up at the person.

" My apologies princess I did not see you walking out " he bows his head at me 

" No need for apologies lord hightower it was my fault im so clumsy" I tell him with a smile.

He laughs before accidentally saying " No apologies princess your mother was clumsy too".

The princess's smile falters and she looks at him directly now.

" You knew my mother" She asks curiously. 

" Yes your mother was a great friend of mine" He says with a smile. 

Before laenyra could ask him anything she is cut off by the voice of her aunt rhaenys.

" Laenyra head to your chambers now it's past your bedtime and i had the maid start you a bath". My aunt says sternly. 

I bow my head at otto and excuse myself from him, 

Not missing the look of hatred from my aunt towards him.
