Naerys was not ready to face the reality. How would she explain her children with Daemon. She loved, she did. Yet, now, coming into reality that she was a princess who had a duty to fulfill. Daemon assured her everything would be fine and her father would understand sooner rather than later. She'd hoped it would be sooner. Daemon and Naerys spent a whole day together before the big day, where they both would make their presence known in King's Landing.

Naerys laid awake that night, thinking of the backlash she would receive from her father and her sister. But, what was done was done, there was no going back. Her dragon landed in the dragon pit, her two eldest were with her and her two youngest, were with her trusted companions.

Her sister, the princess Rhaenyra awaited for her eagerly, she had arrived as soon as she was informed of the sighting of her sister's dragon. As soon as Naerys made her way off her dragon Rhaenyra made her way towards her but came to a halt at the sight of two white haired boys. Her smile instantly fell off her face. She was confused. "Naerys?" Rhaenyra called out to her sister. "Nyra!" Naerys replied happily.

Rhaenyra was at loss of words at the sight of her sister and the boys. "Naerys.. what is this?" Rhaenyra asked as she pointed at the boys. "Who are they?" Naerys grabbed her sister's hand. "Nyra, just let me explain" she began. Rhaenyra nodded and led her to their carriage. "On my ten and five name day, I decided I wanted to become a mother. It was something I gave thought you and you know when sometimes enters my mind there is no way to change it" Rhaenyra nodded. Not sure if she wanted to hear the whole story.

Naerys saw disappointment in Rhaenyra's eyes. Naerys knew she had to tell her sister the truth. "After I tell you this, you cannot tell anyone ever. No matter who asks" Rhaenyra nodded. "Daemon is the father. I begged him to help me be with child. It was all I ever wanted but I did not wish to be married to someone I did not love. I wanted to have children with someone of my choosing" Rhaenyra once again did not know what to say to this new turn of events. "Naerys" she said in a whisper. "I know, sister. But, it was my choice and I shall stand by it no matter the cost. Rhaenyra saw the glint in her eyes. Determination. "What's done is done, sister. I am happy with my children. This is Baelon and his twin, Aemon. And Visenya and Alyssa should be here soon" Rhaenyra's eyes soften at the mention of her grandfather and grandmother's names. Specially Visenya as it was the name she wanted for the daughter she never had. "Naerys" she said once again. Yet, a small smile on her face was evident. "I will tell father I met a man from Lys on one of my travels, I will tell him we fell in love and I decided to have his children but he died a few months before the girls were born" her story was made up. She was ready to lie to anyone's face but her sister's.

Rhaenyra and Naerys waited by the entrance for her children. The maids and the rest of her people arrived a bit after she did. "Come, Nyra. Meet your nieces" she told her as Mera, brought the girls to them. Rhaenyra held Visenya, she fell in love with her and the other three. She was excited to be an aunt to her sister's children. "It will be heard but it's not impossible. Your secret it safe with me sister" Rhaenyra said to her. "I know" was the only think Naerys said. She knew that no matter what, Rhaenyra would always have her back, just like she always had. Now, comes the hard part. Facing her father.

The council room was at it's full swing, everyone was talking and sharing their ideas when Ser Harrold announced the princess. The children had been left in the princess chambers. Naerys walked into the room, she felt like a child once again, granted she was still a child but it had been ten long summers since she had last been in that room. Her father sat in the middle, he was the king after all. At the other end, sat Lord Corlys Velaryon the richest man in the realm. Besides her father sat Lyonel Strong, the hand of the king and the rest to her were not of interest.

"Your grace" she said as she greeted her father. "My lords" she acknowledged them. "Princess" they all replied. "Daughter, is good to have you back at the Keep" Naerys saw he wanted to approach her but it had been so long since she hoped for a tiny bit of her attention that at the time they were in she was not interested. Yet, she made the effort and walked over to him. "It's good to see you, papa" she told him with a smile, one that the king returned and he nodded. "I will let you settled in and I hope to see you during supper?" Viserys asked and she nodded. "Yes, before that... do you think I can speak privately in my chambers?" She asked and he nodded. "Father, my lords" she said with a nod before making her way out.

Naerys paced back and forth. "Nyra" she began. "Have I made a mistake?" Naerys asked. "Laena and Daemon will be here soon. And I have feel.. guilty" she said as tears pooled in her eyes. "I was thinking about what I wanted and not how it could affect those around me" she told her sister. Rhaenyra stood from her seat and walked over to her sister taking her hands into her own. "Naerys, it will be fine. I think part of me understands. You have been along in Dragonsone since you were seven. You wanted a family, my father was barely present in your life and I tried to be there but I couldn't always be there. You wanted a family of your own. You wanted a family to love" she smiled at Rhaenyra who understood.

Rhaenyra kissed her sister on the cheek. "It does not matter what father says. I will stand with you, against anybody that wishes you any harm" Naerys felt the tears falling down her cheeks. Their moment end cut off by Vhagar and Caraxes roars letting everyone know of their arrival. Naerys took a deep breath, ready to act as if Daemon was not the father of her children and a married man too. Rhaenyra gave her sister a reassuring smile. It was time. How will this turn out? Only time will tell.
