THE FESTIVAL – CELEBRATION WAS A BIG ONE, Valeria guessed this was small to her Grandfather Viserys. She was still inside the carriage as her Mother fixed her blue embroidered seahorse tunic, and for the first time in ages, she wore a king black skirt with her usual boots. Rhaenyra then placed a headpiece over Valeria's head, the piece had sapphire gems glittering upon it which fell down the back of her loose curls and then the dark blue veil it covered her face and her ears, "there, you are perfect."
"Thank you, Mother." She says as she stares outside, "you and Father will help me if I feel overwhelmed, right? I would hate to run away again," she felt slightly embarrassed at her behaviour at dinner and how Laenor had showed her the bent fork that she'd done, saying she cannot do things like this and she agreed.
"Of course we will, your Grandfather is also here if you need him, sweetling." She says as she fixed the veil in place, "there, are you ready to present yourself as Valeria Velaryon, the heir of Dragonborn, and the last Dragonborn?"
"I think so, yes." She nods and watches as her Mother had basically given the thumbs up to her Father who started with, 'in many generations,' which slightly made her feel embarrassed. He seemed to be happy giving his little speech when he suddenly calls out her name causing her to take a deep breath and walks out of the carriage with the help of a guard who gently took her hand helping her down the steps.
Many eyes were trained on her, she doesn't put her head down. Instead, she placed her hands in front of her trying not to fidget at the intense looks. She glanced at her Grandfather who was still making a big speech while smiling brightly upon seeing her, the queen next to him was smiling slightly, she was probably wondering about why Valeria felt the need to cover her face up when this event was for her. Next, Helaena smiles softly at her and offered a small wave, Aegon was drinking wine, he seemed very unbothered, but as soon as she stepped out his eyes trailed on her. And Aemond who was watching her with a blank face, but his eyes gave everything away, he stares at her in confusion, awe and wonder, her brothers were just happy she was there and her Father Laenor was walking towards Rhaenyra and helping her out while taking ahold of Joffrey.
The interactions with people was very awkward and nerve wracking, some bent the knee to her calling her out to be a true dragon, and some made small speeches to her and then you had the ones who wanted to touch her and bless the gods for their gift. She went and sat down with Helaena, they both were eating lemon cake, and Valeria couldn't help but wonder is this what Helaena feels like when she hated touch? She would never ask, but she just sat in silence.
Helaena grabs Valeria's hand, "do not trust the rat, the rat sees, and hears everything, he hides in the walls, he watches and he tells." She mumbles wistfully, Valeria looks at her friend. She couldn't help but wonder who the rat was.
