This news came as a shock to all. Although he was I'll, he seemed to face still some fight left in him. Rhaenyra and Daemon had fled for Dragonstone with her children before receiving the news.

While they were gone much happened. Alicent declared to her father that her husbands dying wish was for Aegon to be his successor. This of course shocked many, was it true? Who knows.. however those who did not believe her, were killed.

Princess Rhaenys had fled the castle by help of a knight, after telling Alicent she would not bend the knee to Aegon.

The coronation took place in the dragonpit, which was to her advantage. After seeing the prince crowned as king she quickly went underneath the floor. She took Meleys, her own dragon, and fled.

She arrived to Dragonstone to tell Rhaenyra the most unfortunate news, which came as a shock to the princess, so much that she had now gone into labour.

As of now, Elaena remained unknown to her mother's situation and the kingdom, as she stood on the beach with her brothers, watching them practice their swords skills against each other.

She watched as they sparred, the sound of swords clinking and waves splashing easing her minds, however when Jacaerys bent down to tell at her twin she had to intervene.

"What was that?!" Jacaerys yelled at his younger brother, who seemed to be not trying at all.

"Jace leave him!" Elaena sighed.

"I'm sorry!" Lucerys said still sitting on the sand.

"You might go easier on him, my prince, so he can learn what you're trying to teach" One of the Sers told him, making Elaena send him a smile.

All their heads turned however, when a well known woman's voice interrupted them, it was princess Rhaenys.

"Your lady mother needs to see you! Both of you" Rhaenys yelled from far away.

Elaena quickly ran with her brothers as she heard that her mother was in labour. She was worried, her mother was about to give birth far too soon.

"Mother?!" Jacaerys yelled as they ran into the room where she was.

They all gulped seeing her yell in pain, standing up butch still leaning against a nearby pillar as she cried.

Elaena, being the only daughter, quickly ran over to her mother, placing a hand on her back  "I'm here, it will be ok, I'm here" she whispered making her mother cry again.

Eventually Rhaenyra turned to her other children as she said "Your grandsire, king viserys, has passed"

"Viserys?!" Lucerys asked with shock.

"The greens have repudiated the succession and claimed the iron throne. Aegon has been crowned king" Rhaenyra told them.

Elaena gasped loudly. She knew that the greens did not much appreciate her part of the family, however she did not expect them to completely ignore the fact that her mother had been named heir almost twenty years ago now.

"What is to be down about it?" Jacaerys asked, clearly infuriated at the news.

"Nothing yet" Rhaenyra yelled, now standing up from the pillar.

"Where is Daemon?" Jacaerys asked.

"I don't know! Gone to madness. Gone to plot his war" Rhaenyra said her hand on her bump.

"That does not matter, because I'm here, and I'm going to stay here with you" Elaena told her mother comfortingly.

Jacerays sighed "Leave Daemon to me"

He and his brother began to walk out of the room, before Rhaenyra began to call after him.

"Jacaerys!" She yelled making him stop and turn to her while standing at the door.

"Whatever claim remains to me, you are now it's heir, you and Elaena. Naught is to be done but by my command" Rhaenyra said.

Jacaerys looked at his mother for a moment, taking in the information, before nodding, giving his betrothed one last look before leaving the room.

Rhaenyra cried out in pain again making Elaena rub her back soothingly "all will be well" she whispered repeatedly.

Elaena watched her mother with fear, as she yelled out, blood dripping from her.

"Mother please allow us to help you, please!" She said fighting back tears as her mother screamed in pain.

"No!" Her mothers said

After a minute her mother was squatting on the floor, clearly about to give birth, screaming as a pool of blood left her.

"Get out!" Rhaenyra yelled.

Elaena had now kneeled in front of her mothers, her arm on her mothers shoulder as she screamed.

With one final push, the baby left her. However Elaenas face was not one of grief, as she looked at the child, it was dead.

Her mother looked the child, before taking it into her arms, it seems as though she already knew it would happen before it did.

Elaena let out cries, her hand going to her mouth as tears fell down her cheeks, she felt like screaming, the world was so unfair to them.

After a few minutes the maesters had convinced  Rhaenyra to wrap the baby up on cloth, to prepare for its funeral that would must likely take place the next day.

Elaena cried to herself as she watched her mother kiss her child one last time, holding it close to her as she cried.

Elaena had felt something inside of her die that day. All the things the greens had done had finally caught up to her. She was tired of it, and she would do everything in her power to avenge her deceased sibling.

Later that night Elaena cried in Jacaerys arms. He had offered to let her sleep with him that night, knowing she had felt extremely upset. He too of course was distraught hearing the baby was stillborn, however he did not watch as their mother birthed it, and cried holding it close to her, Elaena had.

"I'm so mad, Jace. I'm so mad" she cried, her arms in his own, her head tucked against his chest as he held her tightly.

"Me too" he answered, his hands going through her hair soothingly, trying to calm her slightly.

The next day they all stood on the rocks at the coast, at the little baby's funeral. Elaena watched as its corpse burned, the traditional Targaryen funeral.

Jacaerys had his arm around her comfortingly, as she stood against his side on his left.

They all turned their attention to a knight that began to walk up the pathway where  Rhaenyra and Daemon were.

"I mean no harm brothers" he said as the knight's protecting Rhaenyra drew their swords as he walked closer to them. He removed his helmet, making them lower their swords.

He walked up until he reached Daemon, before stopping and kneeling to him, or perhaps it was Rhaenyra he knelt for.

He moved his hand to pull out a crown from his bag he had around his waist. He held it up and began to talk " I swear to ward the queen, with all my strength, and give my blood for hers, is shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall guard her secrets, obey her commands, rude at her side, and defend her name and honour" The knight said as Daemon took the crown from him.

Elaena watched with her other siblings, as her uncle walked over to her mother, and placed the crown on her head. Elaena smiled at this.

Everyone then bowed for their queen, as Rhaenyra watched in shock. This was it, she was finally the queen.

Whether the greens like it or not.
