Jacaerys and Elaena walked into the room, staring at their mother. A guard announced them to Rhaenyra, who was leaning onto a table, reading an old book.

"Prince Jacaerys, and princess Elaena your grace" the man said before leaving the room. It was awkward. They knew their mother was annoyed at them for leaving for the twins, without discussing it with her before.

Their mother looked up, seeing her two children at the other end of the room. She stared for a minute, before returning to look at her book instead. Elaena swallowed, not only was their mother already angry, but she was going to receive even more shocking news.

Jacaerys took his wife's hand, before they walked over to their mother. When they made it to the table, Rhaenyra simply gave them a disappointed look before staring at her book again.

Elaena looked at Jacaerys, who was too scared to say anything either. The atmosphere in the room had gotten even more tense, so Elaena stared at him, raising her eyebrows, as if to tell him to say something.

He cleared his throat, looking down at the book his mother was reading, and he noticed a well known Targaryen "Visenya" He said.

Their mother raised her eyebrows up and down quickly, before answering "Vhagars first rider, and the first wielded of Dark Sister" Rhaenyra said.

"I hope you do not mean to use her as an example" Jacaerys said looking around the room nervously.

"Why shouldn't I?" Rhaenyra shot back, now lifting her head to look at her son and daughter, annoyance written all over her face.

"W- mother he only means it was a long time ago" Elaena said nervously, trying not to upset her mother any further.

Jacaerys rolled his eyes at his mother, turning around angrily, waking a few steps away until she spoke again. "What is the mood at the twins? Did his lordship quibble?" Rhaenyra asked.

Elaena smiled at her mothers attempt to keep her son in the room, as he turned around to face her once more, walking back to Elaena as he spoke "He wishes for the Freys to be granted Harrenhal"

"At wars end, assuming" Elaena added, walking back a little to stand beside her husband, who placed a protective hand on her side.

Rhaenyra turned around, inhaling "I'm proud of you Jace, and you too Elaena. You two have down our cause a great service" She said turning back around to look at the book.

Elaena sighed, taking Jacaerys hand and walking over to their mother again, sensing she wasn't really happy "Then why do you look so angry?" Jacaerys asked.

Rhaenyra quickly shut her book angrily, moving to walk over to the left side of the room, the two Velaryon looking at her worriedly.

"You chafed at being prevented from action, imagined my lot. I'm a dragonrider as well, with a war being fought over my ascension. And yet..I must wait here. Always prudent, sending others to fight and be felled in my name. Even you have managed to do your part" She said walking away in a huff.

"You are the queen..the tie that binds us. No harm can come to you!" Jacaerys said walking closer to his mother.

"And you are my son, and I did not give you two leave to go" She said walking away again.

"You do not give me leave to do anything! But who else is there? Rhaenys is dead and Baela cannot near the burden alone!" He yelled making Elaena wince, this was not the mood she wanted her mother to be in when she told her that she was with child.

"And when Aemond comes hunting for you? Your dragon is young! Will you fly before vhagar as Luke did?" Their mother asked making them both swallow at the reminder of their late brother.
