After the episode last Sunday I needed a little happiness and revenge in my life.

We find out who the moth is. I hope you guys like it 🥰

10 days later.

Helaena had grown up seeing things that were not always the happiest, things had never been very clear and she was often confused trying to derive between what was real and her visions. The woman who had given birth to her had always been upset when she became quiet or when she said things that did not make much sense to others. Alicent had always squeezed her arm until she bruised and got upset when Helaena did not answer questions the way she wanted. Helaena had learned to become quiet and not to say much, which seemed to also annoy her mother. She had been miserable and knew that her future would be darker, which was something hard to understand at only three name days old. Things had changed when the gods had sent dreams to Rhaenyra and her sister realized how horrible things would be. She had not been sure of her sister at the beginning, not knowing what would happen.

Rhaenyra had shown to be someone sweet and warm , she did not call her stupid or get upset when Helaena went quiet. Her sister understood herand did not yell at her because she liked bugs. Since her sister had the dreams she had started taking care of them and Helaena had known for the first time what it was to have a mother , someone who loved her unconditionally and worried about her. Then Daemon had come and Helaena had been terrified , she had seen the rats and what they had done. Then time had passed and she had seen how much the man had come to care for them. She liked it when he accompanied her and helped her find bugs. He will sit with her for long periods of time and allow her to go on and on about her bugs. He would not become upset or annoyed when she just talked. She also liked when he hugged her and held her in his arms. She was very happy now that Rhaenyra and Daemon were her parents.

"Princess Helaena," Her entire body froze and her hands shook. She did not even turn as the man moved around to face her. "What are you doing here on your own?"

Her eyes filled with tears as images of blood appeared in front of her eyes and she saw her mother with her throat cut. She saw her father and brothers without heads and dragons killing everyone without anything or anyone to control them.

The man reached for her and she flinched, tears running down her face.

"Helaena!" The king's voice made the man step back. "What is wrong?"

She sobbed while looking at the king. "I want papa."

The king gave her a confused smile. "I am here."

"No!" She took a few steps back, pressing against the brick wall. "I want my papa!"

"Stop this." The queen moved closer to her, her eyes annoyed, just like they had been before. "What have I said about crying in front of everyone?"

She slid down the wall and covered her face with her hands, her voice lowered. "I want my papa."

Her father would protect her , he would not allow anyone to hurt her or her mother and siblings. She could feel Alicent's hands only a breath away and prepared herself for the pain.

"What is happening here?" The voice made her look up to see her father standing over the queen like an avenging dragon. "If you touch my daughter I will cut off your hand."

She saw Alicent's eyes fill with fear as she moved to step behind the king who was looking at them in confusion.

Her father kneeled in front of her, his eyes filled with worry. "What is wrong my sweet?"
