Alicent Hightower was running around meeting the King in secret but unknown to her it was no longer a secret. At court the next day she noticed that many women were avoiding her, pulling their daughters out of her path with disgust. Men stared at her with leery longs and smirks suddenly she felt uncomfortable, she made her way over to the Princess but stopped when Visenyra turned to her with a dark glare "Stay away from my sister Alicent Hightower".
In an instant, Rhaenyra was surrounded by her ladies in waiting and escorted out. Visenyra walked up to Alicent pausing directly in front of her "Did you think you could run around in your mother's dresses and visit our father at night and rumours would not start." Alicent paled upon realising that they all knew. Visenyra wasn't done sowing the seeds of Hightower's downfall "You who spent time with our father both times our mother was pregnant are you our father's mistress the little secret in green, you want to be Queen fine but remember you will never replace our mother".
Visenyra's eyes moved from Alicent to Otto who was now also incredibly pale she patted Alicent's cheeks and walked off. The girl stared after her horrified while her father gently guided her out of the room. Alicent was catatonic from the shame and shock, Otto pulled his daughter into an empty room.
"Have you been bedded by the king?" He demanded neither aware of Joyanne Lannister listening in the secret passage. Alicent looked at her father in shock before nodding "Last night, he was drunk" Joyanne smirked and turned to the servant girl who had accompanied her "Inform the Princess".
Visenyra sat in her father's study as they spoke about the rumours "I warned you about her" Visenyra said while staring at the children her husband and uncle held. Before the king could reply there was a knock "Enter" Visenyra said without consulting her father who had his head in his hands "Princess, lady Joyanne sent me apparently Lady Alicent was bedded by the king last night".
Visenyra chuckled and turned to her father "You have three options father make her the official royal mistress, legally make her a consort or concubine or marry her but ensure it is known that she will remain Lady Alicent" The room grew silent as Visenyra rose to her feet.
The room grew silent as the reality of the King's stupidity and Visenyra was making sure that Alicent had no power over them. "Visenyra why would you do this?" The king looked at his daughter and froze those eyes were the eyes of a conqueror that was the look of a person who had knowledge they could not dream of.
Visenyra watched as her father paused and nodded. She gave her father a kiss on the cheek before leaving with her husband and children. Daemon stood with his brother considering if he should speak before he chose to protect his loved ones. "Visenyra has dragon dreams you of all people should know what that means to our family, in addition to that have you forgotten the promise you made to Aemma when you married her".
Daemon casually grabbed his sword and left, Viserys sat down with his head in his hands before deciding.

Visenyra made her way to the meeting spot and looked at the large dragon skull and then at her father "We are not gods father, dragons made us what we are they could have chosen another and if one day they die out whose to say we would still rule". She stared at Balerion's skull with sad eyes before touching the skull there was a small sting as she had cut her hand but Visenyra did not care she pressed her head to the skull of the dragon and spoke "May you find peace in the arms of the fourteen" Viserys watched his daughter and sighed it seemed that once again he had forgotten what was important.
"In a few days, I shall announce you, my heir". Visenyra did not turn to her father, but she spoke "I understand, I suppose it is a good thing I already have children" The king laughed before leaving his daughter with the skeleton of the dragon.
Unknown to either the fourteen had solidified Visenyra's rule in blood and magic as they had used her to return the Black Dread and soon Arrax would be reunited with the only other dragon that had seen Valyria.
The news that the king had chosen an heir ran through the streets, but what was even more shocking was his public announcement of Alicent Hightower being the only Royal Consort in years. The girl now flushed in shame as she walked into court as she was officially the King's woman, but she would never be queen, nor would she be Queen regent. Royal consorts only existed to be bedwarmers and bare children. They were higher than most nobles but lower than the royal family.
Otto Hightower was shocked at the announcement and nearly died of shock, however, the thought of being the grandfather to future rulers of the seven kingdoms appealed to him. But watching his daughter walk behind the king everywhere he went and how she still had to defer to both princesses annoyed him. What was worse the way Princess Visenyra watched him was off-putting.
Even Prince Consort Mekar seemed to be watching him with a strange expression. Things only got worse when Princess Rhaenys and her husband both gave him hard yet disgusted looks. What did the royal family know that he didn't? He soon found out when Lady Aurelia Tyrell gave him her condolences "I understand that you like green but in this time of mourning we never expected this of you". Otto was now quite taken aback "Lady Tyrell I have no idea what you mean" the girl blinked at him slowly before a look of shock and horror appeared on her face "Oh you don't know, my apologies I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news but your nephews and brother while on their way to the palace came upon misfortune; your brother passed only an hour ago".
The court watched as both Hightower's seemed to pale at the news in union before the Lord Hand collapsed. What Aurelia had failed to mention was that Lord Hightower's misfortune was due to delirium induced by a strange poison in his wine. A wine that was a gift from her to them not that anyone knew that. She made brief eye contact with Visenyra who slightly inclined her head before the Rose of Highgarden started crying softly apologising for causing a scene, repeatedly stating that she had no idea that the Hand of the King was so occupied in the capital that he had no idea what was happening with his family.
Truly a beautiful woman's best weapon was her tear and on many occasions her smile. In this case, the Tears of the Rose of Highgarden had done the trick. Visenyra had to wonder what would men think if they knew that the Tyrell women were poison experts that took care of their own and Otto Hightower had dug his own grave by breaking the agreed offer of marriage with their house.
