"Only for you, my love."

"Fire burns even when it is against itself," Helaena whispered aloud to no one in particular, but it caught Viserra's ears though she decided not to comment on it just yet as she tried to process the girl's words.

"Sister, are you alright?" Aemond asked Viserra which broke her train of thought as his eye filled with slight worry when he saw the exhaustion behind Viserra's eyes once all the guests had left the royal family alone.

"I will be the second they leave King's Landing," she responded to him with a tight-lipped smile. "They do not belong here."

"Sweet girl, they will be gone soon enough," Alicent tried to comfort the stressed girl going over to her and pulling Viserra into a motherly embrace.

"Thank you," Viserra whispered to Alicent.

"For what, Viserra?"

"You are the mother, I wished for as a child."

When Alicent processed Viserra's words, her eyes welled with tears and a soft smile was placed in of her usual flat-lined one, "I am honored you consider me as one."

"When will Rhaenyra understand that the crown is not her to take anymore," Corlys exasperated to the family breaking the sweet moment between Viserra and Alicent. "That stunt they just pulled is a mockery."

"I expected more from my own daughter, but it shows that Daemon has finally gotten to her head once more," Viserys said as Alicent returned to his side helping him stand with his cane.

"Daemon got to her long before all of this," Alicent countered.

"Yes, I suppose I was too blind to see it before," Viserys admitted with a sigh.

"My sister seems to be quite delusional," Aegon commented. "She seems to lose more and more of her common sense as time goes on."

"That is if she had any to begin with," Viserra butted in earning a laugh from Aegon. "They always have to ruin everything and somehow make it about themselves every single time," Viserra sighed in frustration allowing Aegon to wrap his arm around her shoulder to pull her into his side.

"Darling-" Viserys started before getting cut off by his cousin.

"Viserys, she has point. We all know it," Rhaenys pointed out to him. "Though Daemon seems to be the main trouble of our worries."

"Daemon is blinded by his desire for power," Viserys stated. "It is sad that he has pulled Rhaenyra into his life of schemes."

"Power he will never have," Aegon scoffed.

"Daemon will know his place soon enough," Otto reassured him.

"Fire burns even when it is against itself," Helaena repeated again under her breath catching Viserra's attention once more.

"Helaena, sweet girl, could you say that again for me?" Viserra pulled herself out of Aegon's arms and took ahold of Helaena's hands. "What did you see?"

"Fire burns even when it is against itself," Helaena said once more. "Fire consumes, but only one will make it out alive."

"Helaena, I hope you do not mean-" Alicent started moving closer to the pair.
