Full Bloom / Alicent Hightower x OC Male

21. Fantasy

"Can you believe him?" Otto spat.

"No." Alicent whispered looking up from her book.

"Trying to get his daughter on the throne."

Is that not what you are trying to do? Alicent wanted to counter.

"She is a child and manipitlating Viserys into this meeting," OTto went on with a huff.

"Yes well... perhaps it will be a good match." Alicent offered.

" you are such a fool. I raised you better than that." Otto corrected.

He raised her to be a weak woman that wouldn't think for herself, but she had started thinking for herself. She started wanting more for herself than what he thought she wanted and needed.. that was the thing about fathers. They wanted what they wanted and they wanted control and getting it.

He seemed to be having less and less control over the council these days, even though he was hand of the king. He kept control by controlling his daughters movements

But not anymore.

"What was it like flying the Black Dread? You were Balerion's last rider."

"Only for a short time before he died. With Balerion died the last memory of Valyria of Old. But Vhagar still lives... somewhere." Viserys said with a sigh.

"Bit too large for the Dragon pit. Some would say too large for our world. Do you know where she nests?" Laena questioned.

"I'm sorry?" Viserys had too much on his mind to be talking dragons with a child, a child he was never going to marry, ever. He knew that for a fact, he didn't know why he was bothering entertaining the idea.

"Do you know where Vhagar is now?"

Miguel was shoved forward, stumbling over his feet and the loose pebbles he was supposed to be fixing His brother questioned him what he was doing and why he was staring at the king like that. Miguel shrugged. He didn't know if he was looking at the King or looking at him with a child such as laena. He felt bad that women didn't get to say in their lives. He felt bad for the child walking with the king and for the love of his life. Because he thought she would've chose him if she had any say

But maybe that was wishful thinking

" I missed you." Alicent said kissing Miguel. he echoed her words holding her close. If only they could stay just the two of them forever it would make things so much easier.

" what's wrong? Your pretty head seems conflicted." he noted. Alicent shook her head.

" you used to speak of high Gardens gardens... would you want to go there with me?"

" I would love to I would pack up right now and go." Miguel agreed confused, but he would play along with this little fantasy. " when shall we leave and what shall we pack? My oodles and oodles of riches of course they will come with us."

" And my jewelry that weighs more than I do." Alicent agreed.

" and we shall take the finest carriage-"

" with the most beautiful dornish stallions." Alicent added.

" and we shall be married on the way there." Miguel agreed she nodded eagerly she wanted to marry him.

" and make love the rest of the way." Alicent added against his lips.

" I like that... I love that idea." Miguel agreed " when shall we go?"

" let's leave right now." Alicent begged.

" what a wonderful fantasy."

Yeah... Unfortunately, it was a fantasy .

But what if it didn't have to be?
