I will betray you
"Will he be asleep for most of the day?" asked alicent as she watched the maesters fuss over viserys, feeding him milk of the poppy and tending to his open wounds. the sight greatly made the woman nauseous as she was tempted to look away but continued to watch
the maester nodded "the kings health declines each day and i'm afraid there won't be much time for him to live" he said solemnly wiping the sweat that coated viserys forehead
alicent breathed in and nodded her head looking down to the rings on her fingers "he will need to be tended to more cautiously then, his daughter and her family is to arrive here from dragonstone along with the lords and ladies of the court, the king shall need all the rest and care he can get before rhaenyra comes, and he will need to stay in the confinement of his chambers" she informed the maester
"ofcourse your grace" he stood and bowed to her before alicent returned it with a nod and left the room, the overwhelming feeling washing over her as it did for nearly a whole week now
she allowed her father to imprint her mind for far to long and she had not known how to escape from it, the fear of losing her family haunted her each day, the fear of losing herself haunted each night—the fear of losing zaenya haunted her each second of every day and night that passed like a blur
alicent had made a grave mistake of allowing her heart to stay vulnerable whilst with zaenya, if she had just kept her guard up and follow direct orders from her father, she wouldn't be in this position
she wouldn't have fell for the tall woman the way she has now
and alicent had a feeling something was to happen, something very bad that left her in suspense, in fright to the point where she was tempted to look over her shoulder now and then
"your grace" alicent jumped slightly snapping her eyes to see her handmaiden in her sights, she closed her eyes briefly calming her racing heart "what is it?"
"your dress is ready, guest are nearly here soon" she reminded the queen whilst looking to her in worry, it wasn't like alicent to be this paranoid
alicent breathed out nodding her head and walked ahead not waiting for her handmaiden, heels clicking rapidly against the floors as she hurried to her room
