In the assembly hall, you, one of Viserys Targaryen's sons, were discreetly serving as cupbearer, intently watching the members of the court gather to discuss important matters. Your heart was heavy with the news that was to come, for you had already heard the whispers in the corridors about the possibility of your father remarrying, so soon after your mother's departure.

When Viserys entered the room with a serious expression, announcing to everyone that he was engaged to Lady Alicent Hightower, her best friend. And she watched with a heavy heart as he left the meeting hall immediately after the wedding announcement. Without hesitation, she followed him into the sacred grove.

"I had no choice" Alicent began, her voice laced with sadness at seeing him deeply hurt. Each syllable weighed heavily on her chest, carrying with it the burden of her own anguish and regrets.
