Third P.O.V.

Alyssa was waiting in her children's room sitting next to Rhea and Hades' crib with Rhaenyra as she held Hades as Alyssa held Rhea.

The door opens to reveal the children. But the eldest eight stopped seeing their mother's red and puffy eyes.

"Muña, what happened-" Ally starts before a big sad roar is heard.

"Was that Bomris?" Freya asks.

"Yeah, there is something that I need to tell you." Alyssa said.

"And you might want to sit down." Rhaenyra told the children who gathered around their mother before sitting down.

"What I'm about to tell you is going to be upsetting." Alyssa said and the kids all looked confused.

"Where is kepa?" Fala asks.

"Your father is dead. The Maesters are looking over is body." Alyssa said and it was quiet before tears came to her children's eyes.

They hugged their mother as she tried her hardest to comfort them.

"Nyra, I need you hand this to Helaena and tell her to give it to Scatha." Alyssa told her older sister who nodded.

She takes the letter before walking out of the room. She finds Helaena who was sitting in the garden.

"Helaena, Alyssa told me to give this to you and then have you give it to Scatha." Rhaenyra said.

"Okay, thank you." Helaena said.

Helaena grabs the letter calling her guards and walking to the clearing. The dragons all looked up and walk over to her.

They give her a sniff and she smiles. She looks around and finds Scatha cuddling with Bomris who had a big puddle of water laying around him which meant he cried.

"Scatha.." Helaena said softly and said dragon looks up.

Helaena walks over and shows her the letter.

"Alyssa wants you to deliver this. Alfred's siblings." Helaena said softly.

Scatha gets up and puts her head down next to her, as Helaena sees a small box attached to the saddle. She puts it inside and kisses Scatha's nose.






Alyssa was with her children when her father walked in. He smiles sadly at her as he sees her trying to comfort her children.

"I'm so sorry, my dear." Viserys said.

"How am I supposed to care for my children alone?" Alyssa asks.

"You have myself, Rhaenyra, and Helaena to help you." Viserys told his daughter.

"You're right. Have the Maesters figured out how he died?" Alyssa asks.

"They have and he was, poisoned." Viserys said.

"Someone poisoned my husband!?" Alyssa asks in disbelief.

"Don't worry we'll find out who did it and when we do, they'll be arrested for treason." Viserys said.

"Thank you father." Alyssa said.

"You're welcome." Viserys said kissing his daughter's forehead.

*Skip a few days*

It was the day of the funeral. Alfred's siblings had arrived with Scatha the day before. They stayed with Alyssa and the children so Alyssa's family didn't get to meet them.
