(I will try to follow the first option.
First meeting with Alys Harroway.)

Returning from the war, Maegor began to make up for the time he had missed with his daughter. And the first thing he noticed was that Rhaenyra began to mention a certain Alys quite often. At first, he thought she had imagined her, but that was until she mentioned Ser Jon, her current sworn shield.

 - She is Ser Jon's sister! She brought me lemon pies! 

It turns out that in Maegor's absence, one septa dared to raise her hand against his daughter as an educational measure. You see, Rhaenyra read the prayer of the seven incorrectly. But fortunately, his girl did not remain silent and, pushing the old woman away, ran away from the lesson. Ser Jon immediately followed her, and as a loyal knight, did not betray her. On the contrary, he tried to console her, although he did not succeed very well and he called his sister Alys Harroway for help. And since she is his mother's lady-in-waiting, she immediately reported what had happened to her, and of course she immediately punished the septa. 

"That old bitch was lucky that I wasn't in the castle."

 If he had been here, that septa's head would have been impaled on a pike long ago. As for this Alys Harroway, as Maegor noted, she had really sunk into his daughter's soul. She was so impatiently waiting for the opportunity to see her be honest, he even became interested in looking at the one who had captured his daughter's heart. And such an opportunity was presented to him. 

- Grandmother!!- Rhaenyra exclaimed joyfully, running to meet Visenya, who was waiting for her at the entrance to the castle.
- Be careful Rhaenyra, or you'll fall.Son, I'm glad to see you.
- I'm a mother too.

Unlike her son, Visenya began to live on Dragonstone on a permanent basis.Only occasionally arriving in Red Castle to see her husband.

 - A little tired?
- No! I want to fly!
- So you came to me only for the flight to Vhagar, cunning zaldrīzes (dragon) ?
 - No! I missed you and Vhagar!
- I readily believe you, dear.Okay, first rest a little and then I promise to take you to Vhagar.

If Visenya prepared stories about Valyria and flights on her dragon for her granddaughter, then for her son she put aside a couple of questions that require consideration and decision from him as the prince of dragonstone.In the first case, one of the blacksmiths, due to the fact that he had a red-haired child, suspected his wife of treason and committed lynching on the second, the child, on the orders of his mentor, stole the work of another blacksmith. The injured blacksmith demands punishment for the kidnapper and compensation. Then he came across a request from the citadel. They want to send the septa and several maesters to work on Dragonstone. Which he of course opposed. Even though his wife was from Oldtown, he still didn't trust the maesters. And after the incident with his daughter, now he didn't trust the septas either. A few hours later, having finished his work, Maegor went to check on his daughter. Since Vhagar's roar was not heard, she and her mother should have already returned to the castle. And he was right. Rhaenyra was indeed in her chambers, but not alone. Entering the chambers, he found the following scene: His daughter, holding a green dragon in her arms, was spinning around a young girl sitting in the middle of the chambers on soft pillows.

- Vhagar is flying straight to the lands of Harroway!
 - Oh, no, have mercy, my lady!
 - No! Vhagar is thirsty for battle and no one will stop her! - Rhaenyra cried.

 Here the woman took one of the pillows in her hands and put it in front of her.

 - Except for the pillow.
 - No, the fire of Vhagar will burn it!
- And I will take another one.
 - So unfair, Alys!

Here Maegor saw the very same Alys who had captured his daughter's heart. Looking at her, he could not help but admit that she was beautiful. Her dark long hair was loose, her yellow and black dress emphasized her figure well, and there was a soft smile on her face. Well, outwardly she was not bad-looking, but what her motives were was still unknown to him. While he was lost in his thoughts, his presence was finally noticed. 

- Kepa (Father)? - asked Rhaenyra, finally noticing her father. 

 - Prince Maegor.

 Alys immediately jumped up from the pillows to greet the arriving member of the royal family.

 - Issi ao having kirimves, zaldrīzes?(Are you having fun, dragon)?
 - Yes! We played conquest with Alys! Oh, right! Kepa, bisa iksos alys! Se mēre! (Father, this is Alys! The one! ) 
- I see. Glad to meet Lady Harroway, my daughter has told me a lot about you.
 -Kepa (Father)! - the girl was indignant.
- I have heard a lot about you too. But forgive me for my impudence, I can't tell you what exactly. I promised Lady Rhaenyra to keep a secret. - putting a finger to her lips, the girl said.
