You were Rhaenyra's younger twin brother, you both had a decent relationship and you knew that you would never betray her but you never forgotten the hidden feelings you had for her ex-best friend, Alicent Hightower, now the Dowager Queen.

You had always tried to crush your feelings, bury them, forget about the few close moments you'd had with Alicent when she was younger; before she married your father.

You had basically ran from Kings'Landing after Alicent and Viserys' marriage because you couldn't watch her be with a man she clearly didn't want while Rhaenyra stayed.

It wasn't until you, Rhaenyra, and Daemon had come to Kings'Landing, to take it back from the Greens, however when you got there, only Alicent, Helaena, and Jaehaera remained so Daemon flew off to challenge Aemond and Vhagar while you stayed back with Rhaenyra and her children, hoping to hear something about the Usurper Aegon's location. You had a strange want to kill him for everything he had done to your family.

You always tried to tell yourself that you hated Alicent, for usurping the throne, taking everything from you, you tried really hard and spent many nights sleepless.

Alicent approached you, randomly, as you were strolling through the gardens with one of your nephews, little Aegon... just so happening to have Jaehaera with her. They ran off to play and that left you and Alicent.

There was an uncomfortable silence for several minutes as you remained silent, refusing to talk to her, but then she spoke. You hadn't expected it and you refused to let it show on your face, convinced that she had forgotten any love she might have had for you years ago.

"My prince..." Alicent said slowly, her voice mixed with coldness but a hint of gentleness, you weren't even sure how she'd managed that one. "I have been meaning to speak to you, how are you doing?" She was trying to make conversation... probably not liking the awkward silence.
