After the tournament, there was a feast. So the princess went with her family to her chamber's as they left for theirs.

Daenys waited for the maids to fill her metal bath tub. As she was doing so, she understood some whispers of one of the maids who insulted her as she filled the tub, thinking she didn't understand  her name being said along with the words bastard, freak and abomination from the gods. This angered her, but she waited for them to leave and to her luck. Well, the maids bad luck, she was about to leave last but was stopped by a tail wrapping around her leg, dragging her back as she hit the floor with a scream.

When the maid screamed, the Princess roared at her, causing her mother and father to come running.

When Rhaenyra and Damon entered her chamber's, the maid was in the corner crying and shaking, beging for mercy, but it fell on deaf ears as she didn't understand what she was saying.

"What is going on, Daenys?" Her mother asked her in high valyrian.

"She called me a freak an abomination and a bastard." Daenys replied in a low growl as she stared at the maid.

Rhaenyra sighed before going to find a night. While Daemon and Daenys were left alone with the maid still begging.

"Please, my Prince, have mercy. I... I won't do it again... I... I promise... please." She wailed.

"Shut up, you brought this on yourself." Daemon spat at her before Rhaenyra came back with a few guards who grabbed the maid and dragged her to the dungeons.

Once taken care of, Rhaenyra stayed to help her daughter bathe, but before she got in, she warmed the water up again with a quick blast of fire.

Once cleaned, Rhaenyra helped her out the tub and got her dressed in the same type of dress she wore for her tour, with a few alterations to fit her wings and tail. Her hair was braided delicately and fell down her back below her waist. Then Rhaenyra added the necklace Daemon gave her around her age.

Once done, they left to the great hall meeting up with the others near the door before going in and being introduced by the guard at the door.

Zoning out, she looked around at all the faces as she walked down the steps only to lock eyes with the same young man she had a few days ago and earlier today. He smirked at her, raising his cup towards her before taking a sip. Daenys thought he was a little cocky and up to something, and she wanted to avoid anything that may happen.

"That's the same dress her mother wore on her tour." His father whispered to him as they walked by.

He looked at his father before looking back at the Princess as she looked forward and up the stairs to take a seat next to her mother.

"Welcome all, I want to thank you all for coming and taking part in the festivals. Tomorrow, we will be heading out to hunt, but tonight, eat and drink. And dance the night away." King Viserys spoke to the crowd.

With that, everyone started to plate their food up and eat and filled their cups with wine. After some time, some Lords and their sons came up to give congratulations to the king and his family and also the princess as she took part in the fight and won. Then the Blackwood's and the Brackens came up, making Daenys tense up as the tension grew as they came near. The family all tensed up, knowing this could go wrong.

The Brackens got to the table first with two guards. One looked at Princess Daenys with a look she could not tell, but Daemon could as he stared the man down before the knight looked away as if nothing had happened.

"Your grace, thank you for inviting us. And congratulations, Princess Daenys, you fought well." Lord Bracken spoke in a false niceness.

Daenys just nodded, keeping her eyes looking at the young man behind them. The young Bracken noticing this stepped forward to talk to Princess.
