She was nervous, tense and upset. She had gone through the conversation she was about to have hundreds of times in her head, replaying every possible situation and analyzing and discarding it so many times that her head hurt.
She looked at her father, who nodded encouragingly, but not before casting a disapproving look at her fingers. Alicent hid her hands behind her back and turned around as the door to her chambers opened.
Aemond was dressed in black, as always. From time to time he wore a green robe, but the war had not dissuaded him from his favorite color. Alicent didn't hold it against him. She never intended to use the color green as her mark of protest against Rhaenyra, but when she stormed her former friend's wedding in a green dress, her family's color, everyone accepted her as the pioneer of the Green Rebellion.

"You should read this," she urged him, and she saw the distrust in his eyes. He seemed a little hesitant, as if he suspected the worst.
"What am I supposed to do with this?" he asked and Alicent took a deep breath. She felt helpless and worried, she was afraid of his reaction, but she had no choice but to bite the bitter apple. It was her duty as former Queen and as his mother.
