Synopsis
———————

Alicent had never imagined herself here in this position, having Rhaenyra's father's child. She had gave birth to her first son, of course she loved him he was her son. But something inside her made her resent him. Maybe it was because it was this that ruined her friendship with Rhaenyra, or it could be a reminder of her father pressuring her to get with the king.

She had not seen her son since she gave birth, she knew this was terrible. A light sound of a baby crying filled her ears, at first she thought it was in her head. But she spotted a baby leaned against the Gods wood tree. " Oh gods!"

She looked around for its mother or father but no one was around. She rushed forward and grabbed it. " shhh, it's okay." She rocked the baby back in forth until it fell asleep. "Who would leave a baby alone like this?" " what was she meant to do with it?" she asked herself, as much as she would hate to she had to get the king.

  Alicent quickly but carefully made her way up to the kings chambers. The guards noticed her from down the hall and had already opened the door, she smiled and nodded at them. "Husband?" Her voice rang through the room. His figure stood in front of the fire, he turned at the sound of her voice. " dear wife." He smiled at her and walked towards her to place a kiss on her head.

He put his hand on the babies face. " how is our son doing?" He smiled but the look on her face made it fall. " this is not our son."

  The kings eyebrows knit together as he looked at the baby in his wife's arms. " then who's is it?" She shook her head " I do not know, it was in the gods wood alone." The baby started to stir in her arms as the kings hand left it's head. Alicent began rocking it once again, as the king made his way back over to the fire.

He sighed " are you sure it was alone?" He looked back at his wife who nodded, another sigh left his lips. He stood there silent for a few moments.

" we shall take it in as our own, we tell everyone you had twins." Alicent looked towards her husband with her eyes wide. " I will talk to the maester and midwives." With that the king left the room leaving Alicent alone with her now child.

  The king had asked Rhaenyra to name her sister, so she would form a better bond with her. Rhaenyra knew what he was doing, but named her anyway. She had named her Visera after their father.
