- But kepa said that he will leave me here with a sworn protector - Daena said with a grin on her lips. Nyra smiled at her and then said.
- great! I love having you around sister. - the younger cousin said, getting excited.
- me too Nyra... - Daena paused for a minute, then asked - So what should i wear for my eighteen's name day? - she asked her cousin.
- well im sure father will sent someone to make you a dress, if you don't find anything else to wear - Rhaenyra said, - what about this one? - she asked picking a dark plum and black dress.
- isn't it too dark? - Daena asked confused. She couldn't even pick colours for her birthday. - Nyra - Daena called her, when she got an idea.
- yes?
- wanna go for a ride? - asked Daena smirking at her, she was bored sitting in the Keep for days, and she thought it was a better idea.
- yes, but let's go check on my mother first - Nyra said and Daena smiled.
- of course. I missed aunt Aemma. - the girls went to see queen Aemma. She was having a child and looked extremely tired.
- mother - said Rhaenyra hugging the queen.
- my sweet child. How have you been? - she asked her daughter.
- shouldn't i be the one to ask you this question? - said Rhaenyra, Aemma only chuckled.
- I'm fine Nyra. And Daena how are you?
- better now that kepa is here auntie, are you alright? You look paler than usual - asked Daena stepping closer.
- this pregnancy is a bit tougher than i thought it would be, but i'll be fine - Daena smiled and Rhaenyra kissed her mother's cheek and said.
- we're leaving for a ride, look after yourself muñnykea.
- you know i don't like when you're riding, when I'm in this condition - the queen said, which made Rhae roll her eyes.
- you don't like when we're riding when you're in any condition - she answered her mother and they left to the dragon pit.
Once they were high in the skies it was extremely beautiful and mind-blowing. When the girls got ready to land their dragons, Daena noticed two knights were standing and waiting for them.
- What's happening? - Daena asked her sister with furrowed eyebrows.
- i do not know. Let's see. Tegon Syrax - when dragons landed and the girls came down they saw who was waiting for them. Ser Harrold Westerling and Ser Harwin Strong waiting for princesses to come down.
- Ser Harrold what's going on? - Nyra asked. Daena already knew. It wasn't hard to knew who sent them and why. Sometimes Viserys thought it was dangerous to ride the dragons. Daena came down of Sylvarion and whispered - nyke jāhor ūndegon ao tolī 𝙞 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙨𝙚𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙧 and then joined the group.
- your father's request princess. Come with us. - Daena was awfully quiet, she didn't say a word to them since they come down of their dragons.
- something wrong princess? - Harwin was always fond of the older princess. Even though she often resembled her father. She looked exactly like him, talked exactly like him and was very stubborn just like him. Even though Rhaenyra was realm's delight, Ser Harwin preferred Daena more. 𝙎𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙖𝙣 𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙡, 𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙡.

- not really, but if uncle says that I'm not behaving, i'll leave on dragon back. - Daena stated, she was dead serious. She wasn't stupid, she could defend herself if needed and she had a dragon.
- i'm here for you princess, anytime you need me - Harwin was crazy about 𝙝𝙞𝙨 princess, he would do anything for her.
- thank you Ser Harwin - Daena said quietly. Her uncle was way too strict with her. She didn't know why, but that fact irritated her a lot.
- you called us father? - asked Rhaenyra walking into the room.
- yes i did. Your uncle Daemon left for Stepstones. - he said looking at Rhaenyra.
- without saying goodbye to me? - Daena asked then added - Did you exiled him again uncle? - Daena was so sure he did.
- i had to - Viserys whispered slowly looking down.
'Had to? For the love of seven stop lying.' Thought Daena, but stayed silent. Then she left the room without saying any word. Daena's father has showed her all the secret corridors and roads of the Keep and she was using them quite a lot. Ser Harwin followed her but she was no where to be found.
- Rytsa issa jorrāelagon. Skorkydoso glaesā? Avy jorrāelan tolī (you are my little love. How are you feeling? I love you) - whispered Daena to her dragon. Sylvarion was on the hill enjoying the sunset, when Daena came. She was leaning into his arm, in semi laying pose. - ziry vēttan kepa jikagon qrīdrughagon arlī. Nyke gaomagon daor gīmigon skoro syt ziry does ziry. (He made father go away again. I do not know why he does it)
- princess? - a voice called her. Daena would guess who it was everytime. Her dragon growled. - Gīda ilagon Sylvarion. Ao kostagon pāsagon Harwin - Daena calmed him down. (Calm down Sylvarion. You can trust Harwin)
- Ser Harwin what are doing here? - she questioned him. She wasn't sure her father talked with about being her sworn protector and she decided to stay silent.
- you shouldn't go away without telling anyone - Harwin said stepping closer to princess.
- I'm not exactly in the mood to talk to anyone. Are you worrying about me Ser? - Daena teased him. She liked him, he was always understanding and gentle. But she never knew that those feelings was mutual.
- yes i am princess. If you don't want to tell no one, just tell me. Your secret is safe with me. - he said with a small smile. Daena knew that she could trust him. She smiled at him and he reciprocated it.
- i would like to take a walk, would you join me? - she asked him.
