"Do you know where Jace and Luke are?" Rhaella asked as she walked into Rhaenyra's room. "They said something about the front yard for training with Aegon and Aemond." Rhaenyra explained as she turned around looking at the blonde girl standing in front of her.
"Is something wrong Rhaenyra?" Rhaella asked as Rhaenyra stopped staring. "You just look so much like me, sweet." Rhaenyra smiled making Rhaella grab a piece of her hair and lightly blush.
Rhaella then smiling, she left the room walking into a drunk Laenor. "Laenor?" Rhaella questioned as she grabbed hold onto both of his shoulders. "Ahhh, Rhanessa." Laenor hummed making Rhaella raise an eyebrow. "You're drunk." Rhaella laughed before letting him go.
"Ah, ah yes." Laenor smiled. "Your breath. reeks." Rhaella tilted her head up at him. "Yes yes, now is Rhaenyra in there?" Laenor questioned. "Yes, but I don't know if it's a good time—" Rhaella assumed before Laenor quickly walked away from her, barging into Rhaenyra's room. "Okay..." Rhaella sighed as she gritted her teeth.
Then as Rhaella walked to the front yard, she heard Ser Criston shouting as swords clanged against eachother. Looking from the stairs, she saw it was Aegon v Jace.
Suddenly Jace was on the ground and Aegon was still trying to fight him. So Rhaella did the best thing she could, grabbing a bow and arrow. She quickly shot it — just past Aegons hair to make him stop.
Suddenly as he stood back up, he looked to Rhaella's direction who did a sarcastic bow. "That's not fair!" Aegon shouted. "Yes because still fighting with a child who's already on the ground is fair?" Rhaella questioned as she walked over to him. Aegon then looking down at her with narrowed brows, he suddenly shot up.
"I wish to one v one against Aegon." Rhaella demanded as she grabbed a metal sword. "No, no!fighting isn't for little girls!" Aegon complained. "Afraid to get your ass beaten by a girl?" Rhaella asked. "Of course not, I'm just afraid I'll hurt you." Aegon argued as Rhaella rolled her eyes.
"Oh chucks, you care about me?" Rhaella smirked as her eyes softened. "Fine." Aegon muttered walking away from the girl and to Criston. "You're a girl, your underestimated. Work him like he should." Ser Harwin smirked. Rhaella then nodding, she turned around before putting her sword up.
"Are you sure you don't want a wooden sword, sister?" Aegon laughed. "I could be asking the same. The only thing that makes you work yourself is Ser Criston," Rhaella scoffed as Aegon lunged at her. "Imagine yourself out at war without getting words spat out for you." Rhaella whispered as her face got close to Aegons.
Aegon then grunting, he pushed his sword against hers before pulling himself off of her. He then charged towards the girl quickly kicking her leg, hard. She then fell to the ground, looking up at Aegon, she quickly put her sword up to his causing a huge clang suddenly as Viserys came outside.
The swords clashing released a spark in the small girl, a spark unexpected to cause fire. Aegon then grunting at the sudden kick to his stomach, he took many steps back making his stumble in his own tracks. "Stupid girl!" Aegon shouted as he quickly grabbed hold of her collar, shoving her harshly to the ground.
"Your weak, princess." Aegon stated as he took the sword from her hand. Suddenly something kicked into Rhaella when he said those words. As he looked back at her, her hand turning into a fist aimed for the bridge of his nose.
Suddenly he fell back onto his back, whining in pain. His blood splattered all on the ground. "Say I'm weak again, say it!" Rhaella yelled as Ser Harwin grabbed her before she could do anymore damage.
Ser Criston then grabbing Aegon he whispered something only they could hear in his ear. "You're a failure, getting hit by a girl." He scoffed as his grip on Aegon turned overpowering and tight.
Then as Rhaella got up she wiped the blood from her fist. "Come boys." Ser Harwin stated as he took Rhanessa, Luke and Jace to the steps where Criston and Aegon followed. "I'm sure her mother would like to have a word with the girl." Ser Criston stated.
"And she will, right now." Ser Harwin responded in a harsh tone. Mother? Then why are we going to Rhaenyra? Maybe Rhaella wasn't thinking straight when she heard it.

"Oh sweet child! What happened to you?" Rhaenyra asked as she quickly walked towards Rhaella and Ser Harwin. "I punched Aegon in the nose." Rhaella admitted — proud of herself as Ser Harwin grabbed a towel for her red, bloody knuckles. "Your definetly your father's girl." Rhaenyra smiled as she lightly placed Rhaella hair around her ear.
"Thank you, Ser Harwin." Rhaenyra smiled as her ice blue eyes clashed with Ser Harwin's olive green ones. "Alicent would like to see me." Rhaella said before pursing her lips. "No. You will rest. But I will have a word with her." Rhaenyra assured.
"Are you okay, Rhaella?" Luke questioned as he sat next to her on the couch. "I'm quite alright, Luke. No need to worry." Rhaella assured as she smiled softly at the small boy. "Jace?" Rhaella asked as she changed her gaze from Luke to him. "I'm okay!" Jace smiled as Ser Harwin held Joffery.
"He looks like you." Rhaella smiled at the older man as her hair stuck to her sweaty shoulders. Rhaella knew for years the boys were Ser Harwins, but it wasn't her place or anyone else's besides Rhaenyra's to tell them that. Ser Harwin then looking up at her, he nodded trying to hide his smile.
"I should go have a bath." Rhaella muttered as she got up. Quickly Jace ran to her side lifting her elbow. "Jace, really, I'm fine." Rhaella blushed as she looked slightly down at the boy. "No, but I can help you!" Jace pleaded. "Jace, let her be." Ser Harwin smiled stupidly. Jace then finally backing down he quickly ran to Ser Harwin begging to hold Joffery.

"Where's Ser Harwin?" Rhaella asked as she walked into Alicent's room. Alicent turning around to Rhaella, stood there, mouth shut not being able to explain. "Alicent? Where is he?" Rhaella demanded to know. "He's... gone, Rhaella." Alicent responded making a knot form in Rhaella's stomach.
"What?" Rhaella muttered. "Where's Rhaenyra?" Rhaella asked. "I wouldn't know." Alicent replied as she turned her back to Rhaella looking out the window. "Then I'll find her myself." Rhaella stated stubbornly.
Rhaella then quickly rushing to Rhaenyra's room, she opened the door to Rhaenyra's eyes all glossy as she looked at her. "Rhaenyra, I'm so sorry." Rhaella apologised. Rhaenyra shaking her head, she walked over to Rhaella before pulling her into a tight hug.
"Do the boys know?"Rhaella asked as she held onto Rhaenyra. "No." Rhaenyra responded in a sad tone. "Rhaenyra, I-" Rhaella didn't know what to say besides stay still in the arms of whom she wished was her mother some days. "It's not your fault, sweet girl." Rhaenyra huffed.
"But, me and the boys will be leaving Kings landing until further notice." Rhaenyra admitted hesitantly. "What?" Rhaella asked pulling away from Rhaenyra's arms. "Let me come with you then." Rhanessa requested. "Rhaella dear, I couldn't ask that of you." Rhaenyra sniffled. "I'm not asking." Rhaella demanded.
"Your mother... won't be happy about it." Rhaella knew she wouldn't that's why she wouldn't tell her — or any of them.
