The two teens walked inside, until they
made it to the council room. They found their mother and Dameon waiting for them, gulping, they realised they were about to get scolded.

"Hello mother, Daemon" Elaena said trying to mask her nervousness.

Daemon smirked noticing the two young adults were holding hands, sending Rhaenyra a knowing look, making her smile for a moment, but then putting on her strict face once more.

"Do not mother me Elaena!" Rhaenyra said in an angry tone.

Elaena gulped, sharing a look with Jacaerys that said shit

"Where in the gods names have you two been?" Their mother yelled angrily.

"We were just on a ride mother" Jacaerys explained to her unbothered.

"And do you realise the hour?" Their mother held back at the two.

"We lost track of time mother, please, forgive us" Elaena said looking at the floor nervously.

"Do not let this happen again" Their mother warned them.

They both nodded at their mother, relief washing over them that they had not been punished.

"We have something we must discuss with you two" Daemon said making the two look at their uncle.

"Me and Daemon must travel to kings landing, for a few days, to discuss matters with your grandsire and Alicent" Rhaenyra explained to her children.

"Matters? What matters?" Jacaerys asked confused.

"Their have been rumours that....some believe luke is not fit for the role of taking over Driftmark" Rhaenyra explained.

"Let me guess, they question our legitimacy, again" Jacaerys said angrily.

Rhaenyra coughed, looking at the floor, indicating that he was right.

Elaena sighed "When will the talk stop?" She said sadly. Jacaerys placed his hand on her shoulder comfortingly, knowing she got upset when that was mentioned. She was no fool, she knew Laenor was not her blood father, but in her mind he was always her father, and she missed him dearly.

"That is why we must travel their, to put a stop to it. We shall bring Aegon and Viserys, to introduce them to their grandsire, so ask that you watch over Joffrey while we are away" Rhaenyra said to her children.

Elaena nodded, leaning into Jacaerys arm on her shoulder.

"We will leave in the morn. Come with me Elaena, I must discuss something with you" Rhaenyra said walked up to the door.

Elaena shared one last look with Jacaerys her eyes lingering on his own, before reluctantly following her mother, letting go of his hand.

Jacaerys watched her go, his eyes remaining on her figure as she left the room. Daemon walked up to him, placing a hand on his shoulder before saying "Try not to knock her up while we are away" Daemon teased.

"I- What?!" Jacaerys said becoming flustered by his uncles words.

"I was only teasing you, nephew" Daemon smirked as he smirked, drinking wine as he left the room.

Jacaerys blushed madly, embarrassed as he realised his uncle was not stupid, and knew the two did more than just, ride dragons, while they were away.

Rhaenyra walked with her daughter to her room, closing the door behind her as they entered, looking at all the maids in the room "leave us" she ordered to them. This made Elaena tense knowing what she was going to say, must not be heard by others.
