"Father, oh, what have I done to be blessed with your wonderful presence?" Anna asked sarcastically from where she was sitting at her vanity, brushing her hair, when her father barged into her chambers.

"Do not take that tone with me, young lady! I needed to make sure that you have gotten up already; practically all of the houses in the realm will be here, and you need to look presentable. The King wishes to see you; he has heard apparently good things about you and wishes to see you, so be on your best behavior." Otto ranted before leaving her chambers, slamming the door.

She rolled her eyes at her immature father before doing her hair and getting into her dress before leaving her chambers and walking down the hall towards Alicent's chambers.

"Hello, Ser," Anna greeted the guard. In front of her sister's chamber door, before knocking and entering, she saw her sister still asleep. She laughed lightly, seeing Rhaenyra next to her asleep as well.

"UP, my lovely girl's it the day of the tourney, many things to do, many things to eat, and gruesome fights to watch the definition of a perfect day." Anna spoke loudly, opening up the curtain to bring in natural light, making both sleeping girls wake and groan.

"Get up the both of you, or I will make sure you get no lemon cake, Rhaenyra, and you will get no pudding, Alicent," she threatened, half heartily, making both girls tumble out of bed and making her laugh.

"well Rhaenyra Your dress is in your room, on your bed. I will do your hair if you wish. Alicent, your dress is here. No move along, chop chop," she said, clapping her hand at the end before leaving the room to get the girl some food.

"Ugh, it's too early," Rhaenyra mumbled, making Alicent laugh.

"We better get up, or she may try to drown us again." Alicent said, referring to the time Anna dumped a pitcher of cold water on them when they refused to get up. She rolled over, not realizing she was on the edge of the bed, making her fall to the floor.

"Ohh," she whined as Rhaenyra sat up. "Are you ok?" she asked, rubbing the sleep from her eyes.

"Ya," Alicent sighed out.

"Be Welcome! I know many of you have traveled long distances to be at these games, but I promise you will not be disappointed when I look at the fine knights on these lists. I see a group without equal in our histories, and this great day has been made more auspicious by the news that I am happy to share that Queen Aemma has begun her labors." Viserys declared, and the stadiums filled with noble houses erupted into ear-piercing cheers at the happy news.

"May the luck of the seven shine upon all combatants!" Viserys announced this to everyone there before sitting back down on his throne-like seat in the royal viewing booth.

Viserys went to ask Otto where his own daughter was when he saw a beautiful burette in a stunning red dress that showed her curved figure very well walk up the stairs and in his direction before stopping in front of him and bowing.

"Your grace, Father, is sorry for my lateness. I did not wish to interrupt the king's joyful speech. Congratulations on the queen's labor, your grace," she said, and Viserys was shocked, never seeing anyone so beautiful in his lifetime. She looked radiant and stunning.

"No, no, of course you. I'm sure your beauty would have caught people's attention. You must be the great Lady Anna. I have heard many things about you," the King said, stuttering and scolding himself silently.

"Thank you, my king," she replied, blushing slightly before mentally scolding herself. This is the king, a married man, her friend's father.

"And yes, your Grace, that is me," she said softly, giving him a sweet smile.
