"Do you know what makes Targaryens so dangerous?" Daena asked, taking a moment to stare around at the sept's interior.
The High Sparrow remained wordless.
She turned to him with that violent look in her eyes, "We have the Blood of the Dragon, fire r...

Daena remained in her old rooms and was locked away again, though at least with some comfort.
Cersei had informed her that she was to wed Robert. Daena, while happy for her friend's excitement, also rued for her.
While Cersei was a choice with obvious financial benefits, she had thought her name might have been put forward to add legitimacy to Robert's rule.

The wedding was quickly approaching and Cersei was being swamped by planning details.
But she still made time for Daena and visited her often.

She rarely received visitors other than Cersei and occasionally Jamie.
But some days she preferred to be alone.
Her handmaiden was some Estermont girl, a cousin to Robert and therefore a spy. Daena did not trust her but the girl was of some use on occasion in bringing news from the world beyond her door.
