not with the pure rage showing in her fathers eyes

"i will not hear you say such blasphemy ever again, do you hear me alicent!" his voice rose shaking her with every word, his hand flinching up ready to strike her for such foul behavior, for having the utmost audacity to say such ...lies!

"let me go!" cried alicent pushing him back but the man didn't even move an inch

the altercation within the room caught the ears of the guards outside as they stormed in instantly seeing "queen mother" they were quick to separate them with alicent quickly stumbling back "get him away from me" cried the brunette holding her now sore arm from his iron grip

"get your hands from me you fools, the king shall hear from this!" yelled otto, a mad look now in his eyes that truly made alicent look to her father with new light, a new perspective of him that finally came to her senses—the true form of her "father"

"mother?"

alicent gasped lightly at a hand touching her arm, the brunette was quick to flinch back looking up to see her son standing before her "dear heavens" she breathed out holding her chest in attempts to calm her fast beating heart

aemond held a look of confusion tilting his head slightly to the side "are you quite alright mother?"

alicent breathed out mustering up a smile as she nodded clearing her throat "yes, yes i am, why would i not be?" she assured, yet aemond didn't believe it but left it be "aegon has requested our presence in the council room" he was quick to inform

the woman straightened her form at that knowing she'd have to face her father after days of their last encounter, one that haunts her like a reminder "..ofcourse"

with one last suspicious look, aemond led his mother to the council room where all had already been seated chatting amongst themselves of their next move regarding the newly crowned queen rhaenyra

aegon caught sight of his mother and brother and turned his attention to them, alicent and aemond bowed respectfully "your grace" aegon nodded in return gesturing for them to sit before continuing his previous conversation "if it is not force we should take, what will convince my dear half sister to bend the knee and give up her silly attempts at regaining a throne that is mine and not acknowledge me as king?" questioned the king

"with her husband, the prince daemon and his daughter now at her stead, there is no chance at resorting to this matter in a more peaceful route your grace—if force is what you decided to inquire, than force it shall be" said lord jasper wylde

alicent kept her gaze on her hands trying to hide her face morphing into one of sadness at the mention of the tall woman, the very woman that seem to fill her everyday thought making no effort to leave her mind, a painful reminder alicent had endured every time she blinked

"if i may your grace" otto now spoke up with aegon now turning to him "i could deliver your message to the princess rhaenyra myself" aegon furrowed his brows

"you do know the dangers of going to dragonstone alone?" said the king

otto merely hummed "it will be more effective than a simple raven nor guard, i shall be accompanied by guards ofcourse if you'll allow me to fall through"

alicent had hoped he would get harmed whilst being in dragonstone, she had hoped zaenya would hurt hi–

no alicent, he is your father

no father harms their daughter, misuses their daughter like this!

yet he is your father
