After breakfast, Visenya walked from the room after Daenerys had disappeared. But as she reached the doorway, she rolled her eyes, seeing Maegor peek his head to see if she was coming out. As she walked past him, she heard him following. "What is it for today? A little spar?" he asked as she shook her head, and he rolled his eyes.

"I have lessons with my septa," she told him, knowing of his dislike toward the faith of the seven. "I could teach more valuable things than they ever could, " he told her as she continued walking, ignoring his words. She knew he had gone when she no longer felt his presence.

She made her way to the room where she had her lessons; at times, Princess Helaena would join her. She walked into the small room with an open balcony that let the cool morning air in. The walls held rows and rows of history books, and in the center was a desk her septa would use. There was a smaller desk and stool beside it for her.

"Today we shall start on your needlework, " her Septa, Mariya, told her as she watched the young girl take her seat. "Could I make a gift to my brother?" Visenya asked as Septa Mariya handed her what she would. "If you follow my instructions, you may have great work to gift."

Visenya gave the woman a confident nod, and when Mariya started, she watched and attempted to get as close as possible. She felt a presence over her shoulder and glanced, seeing a woman dressed in a nightgown that had been stained with red.

Visenya had once told her mother that she saw a lady which had caused her mother to weep as she revealed it was her grandmother Aemma Arryn. Aemma had watched every move the little girl had made. She tried to keep the young girl protected from some of the ghosts but it never had seemed to work.

"Don't pay me any mind; you are doing well, darling," Aemma told her, giving the girl a soft smile and squatting down beside her, pointing her fingers at what she would do next. Soon after, though, her Septa stood to answer the door as a knock was heard.

"Thank you, grandmother." She said, giving the woman a grateful smile, knowing she could not remember all the instructions. Aemma ghosted her hand over the girl's head as if to pat her head, though it would not make contact. Aemma had become fond of the girl since she was in the cradle, often watching her when Maegor was away.

"Princess, it is Ser Harwin. He has come to escort you along with your brothers. Your mother has started her labors." Septa Mariya told her as Aemma nodded, letting her know she would watch over Rhaenyra and nothing would go wrong, unlike what had happened to her.

Visenya stood and made her way to the door giving the woman one last look before she disappeared completely. "Your brothers are already at the carriage, Princess." He told her as she nodded and took his hand. Ser Harwin could not stop the smile coming to his face as they made their way to the courtyard and the carriage.

Once she got in the carriage and the door was shut, they began their journey to the dragon pit, where they would pick an egg, as Jace had told her. She felt the gravel rumble under the carriage wheels as they made their way. As her brothers spoke to each other, she had only one thought: her mother.

As they reached the dragon pit, Ser Harwin opened the door to the three children, and they let Visenya exit first, then Luke then Jace. Visenya took Luke's hand as they made their way inside. She had been there once before, even though she had yet to claim a dragon.

The Queen Alicent could never stop herself from making remarks about it to anyone who would listen. Rhaenyra had told her daughter that she would claim a magnificent dragon when her time came; she had faith in her.

They made their way toward the center, where the dragon keepers had three eggs in each open pot to show the colors. "You should choose, Luke," Jace said as Visenya nodded but followed her elder brother toward the three eggs. Luke picked the one in the middle after some thought, and Visenya smiled, seeing the dark violet egg, knowing it would be a beautiful dragon.
