Rhaenyra Targaryen found herself in a love dilemma. She, King Viserys Targaryen's firstborn, was in love with you, her father's second son with Alicent Hightower. The two of them had a clandestine romance, a forbidden love that flourished in the shadows of the palace. Although in public they acted like enemies, behind the scenes they indulged in the burning passion that consumed them.

The couple feared that Alicent would discover their secret, because they knew that she would do anything to break them up, she might even send him to Vilavelha, far away from the arms of his beloved. And in one of their furtive encounters, Rhaenyra anxiously awaited her lover in the sacred grove, one of the places that served as a refuge for both of them. With a sweet smile on her lips, she approached him and gently placed her hands on his face, touching their foreheads as she whispered tenderly: "I thought you weren't coming today, my love."
