Eyra was stunned, she didn't expect them to respond so quickly; after recovering from the initial shock she replied:
-It is wonderful news, the reasons are quite futile, but it is good news. I notice that Dad is not there, I guess you have deceived me again; I shouldn't expect anything new from you snakes. If you wanted me to eat with you just ask -
-What did you say? - asks shocked Alicent
- That if you wanted me to eat with you just ask - replies Eyra in mocking tone
-Not that. What did you call us? - question Alicent furiously approaching the girl
-Oh! That one, I called you snakes; what is it you don't like to be called that? And yet, that is what you are, you get in everywhere, you are slimy, false and incorrect. Crawl around all the islands and spread slander of all kinds- explains Eyra and continues by saying:
- You think Nyra is stupid enough to believe that it was Dad who called this advice and doubted Luke's legitimacy on Driftmark, he adores his grandchildren would never do it. Your policy of hatred will only bring death and destruction, you must be careful because you reap what you sow; if you spread mange you cannot expect to reap peace -
-Is it a threat Eyra ? - question furious Alicent
-No mom, it's a promise- says solemnly Eyra closing her eyes and expecting a slap on the face that never comes.
Amazed by this, she opens her eyes and sees that her mother's hand is blocked by that of her brother
-Aemond! What are you doing? Let me go now, your sister deserves a lesson- exclaims Alicent astonished by her son's behaviour
-No mother, you and Otto will no longer lay a hand on Eyra. From now on she is under my protection- says serious Aemond
-You can't be serious, I remind you that she took your eye, she also has no regard for you- exclaim Alicent trying to convince Aemond to change her mind.
-You're wrong, she took out my eye, it's true, but she did it to defend those...- Aemond wanted to add bastards to the sentence but, seeing the look of his sister, made him change his mind
-Our nephews; moreover, she tried to make it up to me by looking after me day and night, even though I rejected her with insults. And I forgave her, that day I lost an eye but I gained Vhagar, and it was worth it- explains, in a solemn tone, Aemond distancing his mother from her sister.
-You don't understand, she will be the ruin of this family. Don't you want to be king someday Aegon? It's your right- speaks Alicent
-Want the truth mother? - Question Aegon drinking a sip of wine from his glass
-Yes!- exclaims Alicent
- I don't want to be king, I don't care particularly, and I like being with Haelena and our children. I do not hate Rhaenyra, of course I condemn that his children are bastards sons of Harwin Strong, but I do not hate; however, I do not want to rule I was not prepared but Rhaenyra is; so, as soon as the time will come she will ascend the throne- explains Aegon
Alicent was shocked, did not expect such an act of rebellion from her children, turned to Eyra and shouted:
- This is all your fault! You turned my own children against me; you brainwashed them by telling them about me. You'll pay for this-
-Is it a threat mother? - asked shocked Eyra
-Yes, it is a threat- Otto replies, dragging Alicent out of the room.
Eyra began to panic, and immediately Haelena approached her, hugging her and saying:
-Quiet. Green and red will join the phoenix to its former glory-
- Lena, I don't understand what you mean- question Eyra
-But first they must die and then rise again and bring peace- Haelena continues
-Lena, I don't understand you, who has to die? - question concerned Eyra but before she can get an answer Aegon says:
-I hate them, my nephews, they are bastards to whom everything is due- Eyra looks at him but, before she can defend them, Aegon continues:
-But if they make you happy, they make us happy. We were stupid last night, we did not react rationally; we will not leave you like a whore with your son. Mom won't want you to marry Lucerys, but we'll make sure you get married like ancient Valyria wanted, making sure mom can't call off the wedding-
-We apologize byka perzys (small fire) - speak Haelena
-Do they forgive us? - Question Aemond
-I don't know what to say. Tell the truth you made the most learned speech to the most stupid to make me remain speechless- joking Eyra sitting at the table and starting to eat
- Well, we have used the most effective strategy to our advantage. The idea to start was to use one of the twins to apologize, but it was too much- joke Aegon
-So forgive us? - all three ask together
- Of course I forgive you, you are my brothers. But you're gonna have to choose sides, if Mom can get Aegon on the throne, there's gonna be a war, and I'm gonna side with Nyra. This time you can't back out- explains Eyra taking food with him and leaving the room leaving his brothers speechless.
The girl went to the pit of Viserion:
- Rytsa Viserion (hello Viserion) - speaks in Valyrian Eyra
- Ivestragī iksos jikagon syt nykeā kipagon, rōva (Let's go for a ride big guy) -
- Sōvegon Viserion (fly Viserion)- commands, with kindness, Eyra; that said the two hovered in the air.
Every time Eyra was in the sky with Viserion she lost track of time, but this time, she came prepared and took her breakfast and other things with her. They stood in the sky until Eyra said,
- Gaomagon daor ao pendagon ziry iksos gevie bē kesīr, viserion? (don't you think it's nice up here Viserion?) -
The dragon snorts in response, as if to express his opinion.
- Ao issi paktot, issa gevie zaldrīzes, īlon kostagon daor (You're right, my beautiful dragon, the peace that is up here is not found anywhere else) -the girl speaks.
- Māzigon va ziry iksos, ivestragī iksos jikagon arlī ilagon (It's getting late, let's go back down) -
After say goodbye to Viserion, Eyra goes to her room but, as soon as she enters the room, she is grabbed from behind and thrown to the ground
- I warned you to stop messing with me and your mother- says Otto, starting to beat Eyra who instinctively protects her belly with her arms.
- You're crazy, my father will have your hands for what you're doing- shouts Eyra trying to call for help but, in that coin, the corridor where his room was located was empty; so, no one comes to help her.
Otto continues to beat Eyra by kicking, punching and even grabbing her hair until he hears a deafening roar. Viserion, having heard the cries of his mistress, had begun to make noise so that they understood that his knight was in danger.
In fact, it worked because Otto was afraid that someone might come and check it out; he left the girl's room.
Mary, alerted by Viserion's roars, slings to see if the princess is okay, but as soon as she enters the room, she is shocked by what she sees: the unconscious princess lying on the floor of her room.
