You knew from the beginning that after the death of your husband Aegon the Uncrowned, your uncle Maegor would summon you. That's why you had sent your twins Rhaella and Aerea to other places, even you didn't know where they were sent in case Maegor took you captive. And although Maegor had first stolen the throne that belonged to your husband and then killed your husband in battle, he still did not leave you alone and actually summoned you to court.

You knew that if you disobeyed your command, your uncle would burn the whole place to ashes. That's why you obeyed his command. You were not told why Maegor summoned you to court, although you may have some guesses.

When you arrived at the court a few days ago, you were told that Maegor will take three wives. Three brides who have proven their fertility and are expected to give heirs to Maegor. One of them was you. All three of you had been given a few days to mourn, but those few days passed quickly. Maegor was king, and although he expected obedience from all people, many whispered among themselves that you would not swear your marriage vows to Maegor.

Today was the wedding day, but everywhere there was a mourning atmosphere rather than a wedding atmosphere. You three were called the black brides, and you were the third and final black bride, Jeyne and Elinor had sworn their vows to Maegor as expected. But here you were, standing in front of Maegor, with not a single word out of your mouth yet. You were disobedient in a way not expected from any other bride. Maegor's brows furrowed slightly before his gaze turned to Tyanna, one of his wives.

Not long after leaving the great hall, Tyanna returned with your twin daughters, Rhaella and Aerea, that even you don't know where they was. The way Tyanna held your daughters was an obvious, if non-verbal, threat. It was clear that Maegor had been expecting your disobedience for a very long time. He spoke while looking at you with his cold eyes.

"Does the priest have to repeat the vows so you remember them?"
