As soon as Vaenaera returned to dragonstone she found herself walking towards the library.

When she entered the library her eyes landed on her mother who stood a few feet away from another woman. Vaenaera bowed her head as both womens eyes went onto her.

"Vaenaera" Rhaenyra greeted her daughter as she looked at the dark haired women who stood a few feet away from her "You may go now"

The dark haired woman bowed her head before walking past Vaenaera and out the library. Making Vaenaera want to follow after her, wanting to know who she was and why she had been left alone with her mother.

But instead she turned to her mother and asked "Who was she"

"None of your concern Vaenaera"

"Why were you alone with her" Vaenaera questioned as she approached Rhaenyra "Did Daemon bring her here"

"Daemon is none of your concern either Vaenaera"

"I worry or you mother just as Jacaerys does" Rhaenyra sighs as Vaenaera looks at the open book on her mothers desk "Your reading about Visenya"

"Trying to yes"

Vaenaera looked up from the book "Why on earth would you wish to be like Visenya"

"I never said that Vaenaera"

"Yet you're not denying it mother"

Rhaenyra sighs again.

"Visenya was a conqueror mother" Vaenaera stated "But She had Aegon and Rhaenys at her side"

"Vaenaera I do not need to be taught our house's History. Especially not from my own daughter"

Vaenaera nods slightly as he steps away "Mother if you wish to take back the throne then you must act now. You cannot stay hidden away here reading about the past, not when our future is at stake"

"Everyone else thinks otherwise" Rhaenyra admits  "Vaenaera I need time to think"

"Of course mother" Were the last words Vaenaera muttered to her mother before leaving the library.

************************************

Vaenaera wanted the greens to pay for what they had taken from her mother. For who they had taken from her and Jacaerys.

She hated the fact she couldn't fight, she hated that she had said no to daemon. If she had said yes, Aemond would have no longer been a threat. But Vaenaera had been and still was worrying about her mother.

What were they supposed to do if the Queen lost her life. What was she and Jacaerys suppose to do without their mother.

"Sister" She heard her brother speak as she looked at him. She hadn't heard him enter or even call her name.

"Jacaerys it's late" She muttered as he took a seat next to her.

"And yet you aren't in bed"

"I cant sleep" She admitted "Nor can you"

Jacaerys sighs as he looks away "Mother needs to act now"

"I've told her that.But at the same time Daemon took it upon himself to make a move" She pauses "One that turned out to be an awful mistake"

"Daemon is no longer here"

"You think the greens will attack, don't you?"

Her brother nods "Wont they"

"Even our uncles aren't that stupid" She stated as she changes the subject "I heard you spent time with Baela earlier"

"I helped her practise some archery"

"Just Archery"

"We are in the middle of a war Vaenaera"

"Baela is your future Queen, you are allowed to show her that you care"

"I heard you've been going to driftmark alot more than you used to" Jacaerys changes the subject knowing if she brought up Baela again. He wouldn't be able to stop rambling about his future wife and queen.

"I'm learning what it means to be the future lady of driftmark"

"So there is no other reason"

Vaenaera stays silent as her thoughts go straight to the ship steward she had spoken to the last few visit to her grandfather shipyard.

She smiles ever so slightly as she speaks "Perhaps there is someone I like talking to"

"So who is h-" Before Jace can finish his sentence a guard rushes in and within seconds both Velaryons are rushing to their queen.

************************************

As soon as Vaenaera had entered her mothers chambers she gasped. Her eyes had immediately landed on the dead twins laying in the middle of the ground. She knew this was Aegons doing and just as quickly as she had rushed to her mothers chambers. She was rushing away.

Within minutes she had arrived in the dragonpit and called for her dragon. Just as she was about to get onto her dragon's back she heard someone calling her name, stopping her from flying to kings landing and taking her revenge.

"Step away from your dragon, Granddaughter"

Vaenaera scoffed slightly but did as she was told and stepped away "They sent a man to kill my mother, in her own bed"

Vaenaera turned around as she looked at her grandmother.

"Just as Daemon did to the young boy"

"That was an awful mistake"

"Granddaughter if you act only on impulse. Then you will end up exactly like those knights" Rhaenys stated.

"My mother has just been attacked, it could have been one of the babes or even Joffrey"

"The queen is unharmed." Rhaenys reminds her as she changes to the role of her grandmother "Now go to your chambers and rest"

"Grandmother"

"Vaenaera rest and then we shall speak on the morrow"

Vaenaera looks at Saphira for a split second before walking away and past Rhaenys. Vaenaera would one day fight for her mother, but that wasent today.

An- Vaenaera knows jace loves Baela and Jace knows full well Vaenaera met someone
