"And you said I was dramatic."

(Age 22)

Edwina and Kate walked into the foyer of the Bridgerton home. It was beautiful. White, blue and cold painted the room with the touch of nice dark oak wooden floors. The girls had instantly looked up to see the paintings. The paintings were beautiful, some more than others. But one stood out of them, it was two paintings, one of a girl with white hair and other with her looking much older. Edwina wasn't going to say anything or ask anything, she was too shy. She wanted to make a good impression on them. But Kate didn't care, so she asked.

"Who is that? She's beautiful." Kate asked pointing to the painting. "I've seen the same on almost similar at Lady Danbury's house." She stated as Anthony stopped to look up at it. "It's arrived yesterday." Violet said stopping to look up at it. "That is our dear Daemerys." Lady Danbury said loudly. "She looks beautiful." Edwina whispered. "Well yes she is." Benedict said. "That was her when she was 13." Lady Danbury said pointing to the painting on the left. "And I suppose that is her currently." Lady Danbury stated. "It is." Anthony stated as Violets head snapped towards him. "How do you know Anthony?" Eloise asked. "Look at her hair, eyes, and most importantly the way she is standing." He pointed out. "She always stands like that when something important happens." He said as Edwina looked up to him. "You are friends with her, my lord are you not?" Edwina asked as he smiled. "We're very close, Indeed." He stated before checking his watch. "You must excuse me Ms. Edwina, I have something I must attend too." He said walking away. "Do not worry about his Viscounts relationship with her Majesty." Lady Danbury said as Edwina looked to Kate. "You have nothing to worry about Bon Bon." Kate said before glaring at the woman in the painting.

Later that day Kate and Edwina were together in their rooms. Edwina looked down while Kate looked out the window. Clearly Edwina was upset about the earlier conversation.

"Do you think he likes that woman Kate? I mean she is oddly beautiful." Edwina stated as Kate chuckled sarcastically. "Wouldn't put it past him." Kate muttered. "Kate!" Edwina said stressed. "Edwina, I'm sure whatever she had with the Viscount-" Kate started to say. "Had?!" Edwina yelled. "Lady Danbury said you wouldn't be worried about it." Kate stated. "What if she comes here?" Edwina asked as a knock appeared on the door. "Come in!" Edwina said as a miad opened the door holding towels. "I hope you two are comfortable here." The maid said. "Yes it is very lovely." Kate said as the maid smiled. "Im sure she'll be very happy to hear." The maid said as confusion ran through Edwina and Kate's face. "She?" Kate asked as the maid smiled. "Her highness Daemerys." The maid answered. "This used to be her room growing up." The maid said. "Everybody loved her when she came every year." The maid said. "Oh I forgot!" The maid said cheerful. "The Viscount and his family wants you to join them outside." The maid said before bowing her head and leaving. "Edwina-" Kate said concerned. "She's everywhere Kate." Edwina stated. "How am I supposed to compete with that, when everybody loves her." Edwina asked. "Let's just join the Viscount and his family and get some fresh air, alright?" Kate asked as Edwina nodded. "You are the diamond of the season, you shouldn't have anything to worry about." KAte said cupping her cheeks. "You're right." Edwina said as Kate kissed her forehead. "Good, now let's go." Kate said dragging her out of the room.

Kate knew Edwina was worried about the woman, hell Kate was worried about her too. She knew Edwina wanted to become apart of the Bridgerton family acting as their Viscountess, she also knew she was worried about her and Anthony's "hatred" for each-other. Kate knew she would do anything to make sure Edwina was happy. But when the time came she had no idea how.

"I do hope Edwina wasn't to upset with all the talk of Daemerys." VIolet said to Lady Mary, Kate and Edwina's mother. "Should I be worried about it?" Mary asked concerned as Lady Danbury chuckled. "No, they are siblings. And she is married." Lady Danbury said as shock hit Lady Mary's face. "Forgive me Viscouhtess, but she looks nothing alike your children." Mary said as violet smiled. "Forgive me." Lady Mary said unsure. "Daemerys is not my child biological, but after her mother died I took her in, and raised her." Violet explained. "I owed it to her mother." Violet said. "Is she-" Mary started to asked. "She passed when Daemerys was only a baby." Lady Danbury explained. "If she does come," Violet began to say before taking lady Mary's hand. "Do not be so quick to judge her. She's been through a lot already." Violet said as Mary nodded. "Yes she has. No person should've ever gone through what she had to." Lady Danbury added. "If you don't mind me asking, what has she gone through?" Lady Mary asked.

Violet took a deep breath before thinking, "is this my place to tell?" Violet turned to Lady Danbury as Lady Danbury sighed. Clearly this was a tough subject for the two ladies.

"She endured a lot of abuse when she wasn't here with us, from her older brother." Violet said uneasy. "He's done a lot of things to her I shouldn't say, but one thing I could tell you, is that she is a warrior." Violet said giving Mary a weak smile. "I couldn't be more prouder." Violet said as Lady Danbury smiled. "I must say I am also proud of her, I mean she won and came out on top and now look at her. A Queen, her mother would be proud." Lady Danbury said. "She's a Queen?" Lady Mary asked shocked. "Yes she is-" Violet said as something flew over them. "Ahh!" The heard Edwina scream as the big beast landed near her.

Daemerys landed on the field. The grass was green and looked and smelled freshly cut. Her hair blew into the wind as she disassembled from her dragon. Once she got off the ground, she looked back to Drogon smiling at him before he took off leaving her. Then came stomping over an angry Anthony. "Where the hell have you been?"

"And you said I was dramatic."
