Ever since Verena Hightower was born her father, the hand of the king Otto Hightower loathed her, wanted more than nothing to be rid of her but because of duty and family, she lives...
Daemon rides for Harrenhall, everyone screaming seeing the shadow of Caraxes above them, Daemon lands and walks into the castle, to find what looked like a council room, they all panicked as Simon Strong quickly surrendered. Harwin had been stripped of his title to Harrenhal, Maelor would've been the heir, but Larys instead was the 'lord', but what could he do all the way in Kings Landing. Simon Strong admits he does not like Larys, believing him to have killed his nephew and his son, they do not share alliance with Larys the Clubfoot.
Verena missed Daemon, but knew she needed him to come to his sense, show the loyalty she knows he has for his family. Daemon acts as if he is King, not mentioning Rhaenyra or his wife. Simon asks about Verena often, Daemon shuts it down immediately changing the subject and continuing the conversation.

Verena stood tears leaving her face as they walked towards the carts of supplies and to say goodbye to their children, while Rhaenyra speaks to Rhaena, showing her the eggs, how they bare the future of this family, Rhaena finally realised the significance of this mission, Rhaenyra and Verena trust them to raise and love the next generation while they have to love from far away.
Baela and Rhaena say goodbye as Verena brings Athena into a tight embrace, tears leaving her eyes, whispering I love you in Valyrian over and over again. Before she turned to her babies, trying to stay strong, her heart breaking over and over again as she held her little babies. Rhaenyra spoke quickly to Rhaena,
"Tyraxes and Stormcloud are young and vulnerable. These eggs are even more fragile. But should all come to ruin here... you will bear our hope for the future."
Both Rhaenyra's and Verena's children cry for them, as they walk away holding each other feeling every part of them wanting to pick up their children and keep them safe in their arms. But they knew that was not possible. Verena ran down to the pits, seeking out Merikh. She needed the skies, she needed some peace, maybe she would join Baela watching the movements from the high ground.
