"Rhaenyra Targaryen was fiercely protective of her children. It was commonplace that she took extraordinary measures to shield them from the machinations and schemes of her rival, Alicent Hightower. Stories abound of her intercepting messages and rumors intended to undermine her heirs, and she would often personally oversee their safety during periods of heightened danger. There were multiple occasions in which the Queen moved them between trusted allies' strongholds to ensure their safety."

"It was well-known among the courtiers and maesters alike that Rhaenyra's sons never lacked for attention. Whether Aegon and Aemond were honing their swordsmanship in the yard or engrossed in their studies, the Queen made it a point to be present. Her frequent appearances were not mere ceremonial gestures but genuine acts of love."

"Rhaenyra's support for Helaena's queer fascination with insects—a hobby many found peculiar—underlined the deep understanding she had of her daughter's unique spirit. It is said that she facilitated Helaena's passion by arranging for entomologists and scholars to visit the palace, ensuring that Helaena's curiosity was nurtured with the same dedication as any royal duty."

"It was often remarked at court that Aemond was rarely seen apart from his mother. Among Rhaenyra's children, he was most often by her side, whether she was attending to matters of state or simply enjoying a quiet moment. Even as he aged, Aemond Targaryen remained fiercely loyal to the Queen."

"Helaena often spoke in riddles, a gesture her mother took interest in. It is rumored that Rhaenyra believed her daughter to have prophetic visions, though the sept rejected these claims as mere fantasy. Whether there was any truth to Helaena's whispers remains a question known only to Rhaenyra."
