The Godswood welcomes Alicent with warmness of the scorching sun, the aurburn haired stood under the tree for a while, but as soon as she turned abruptly, Daenerys brushed her cheek with a hot slap.

Agitated, Alicent slapped her back. "Don't ever raise your hand on me again!" she yells.

Furious, Rheanyra suddenly comes face to face with Alicent raging, she realizes her best friend is now silent and doesn't utter a word.

Daenerys held her cheeks, boiling with anger.

"What did you do to my father?" Rheanyra demanded. "Has this been planned all along?"

"No! Ofcourse not!" Alicent defends.

"Liar! You slept with him!" Daenerys tries to attack the aurburn haired but Rheanyra stops her.

"I did not sleep with your father." Alicent denied the allegation.

"But you visited his chambers. Did you not?" Rheanyra questioned.

Alicent has no real protest. Bitting her gum, trying the hardest not to cry, of all the things in the world, she knows her life will now forever be in service and duty to her husband, her house and her father using her as a pawn for his selfish gains.

"Is this what you want?" Rheanyra asked, as she held her best friend's teary brown orbs.

"It doesn't matter what I want Rheanyra." Alicent hides her eyes.

Daenerys hissed. "The audacity. Just admit you were bitter, Aenar didn't marry you."

"Enough Daenerys! That's not true." Alicent yells.

"Then speak the truth then! So because Aenar married Francesa, you sort to seduce my Father to spite him. You sort to take my mother's place on purpose to catch my uncle's attention? Are you jealous of his wife?!" Rheanyra questioned.

Alicent instantly defended herself. "Rheanyra.. I'm not jealous of Princess Francesa. It's not what you think....."

"Not what we think? I always knew you were a pretender from the onset, the nerve you have to pimp yourself out like a harlot to our father is unbelievable!" Daenerys exclaimed.

"No wonder you felt happy at the small council earlier, I saw how happy you were, when my father betrothed you.!" She spat with venom. "You've always envied our family!"

"That's a vile accusation Daenerys." Alicent spat defiantly with tears in her eyes.

Shocked, Rheanyra hardened her fists, pacing back and forth as Alicent cuts her nails with tensed pressure and anxiety.

Rheanyra was breathing heavily until it faltered. "How long have you been seeing my father?"

Alicent blinked, not knowing how to answer. It's hard for her to admit but she tells the truth. "My father sent me to console and tend to the King after your mother's death......"

Daenerys is aghast. "Tend. What the fuck does that mean. To lure my father in your web?"

"So you were also visiting my father, right after my mother's funeral? So that day yu wore that dress, it was my chambers you went to visit? You. You. You. WHORE!" Rheanyra yelled.
