A New Age Of Dragons

Confession

Trigger warning: homophobic slur

Tower of the hand

Otto had been writing a letter and gave the sealed letter to Grandmaester Mellos.

"Send a letter to Oldtown straight away." He said, and Mellos nodded. When Mellos left, Otto saw Alicent, and she entered his chambers.

"My lady." Mellos greeted.

Alicent walked to her father, and when she looked at him, she wanted to know what her father wanted so that she could see Baelon after.

"My darling." Otto greeted his daughter."Where's Rhaenyra and Laena?" He asked.

"She's with her mother." Alicent said. "I think Laena is also with her mother."

"I found myself thinking about your own mother today." He said

"How is Prince Baelon?" She asked.

"He wasn't in the council. I assume that he's in high spirits after winning his nameday tourney. Which is why I sent for you. I thought you might go to him, offer him your congratulations." Otto said as he went to sit down in his chair.

"In his chambers? I wouldn't know what to say." Alicent said and started biting her fingers.

"Stop that." He commanded. "He'll be glad of a visitor." He said and went back to writing a letter. Alicent then walked out but stopped at her father's voice. "You might wear one of your mother's dresses." He told her, and she nodded and left the tower of the hand.

Royal chambers

Rhaenyra was in her parents' chambers searching for something in her mother's closet.

"What are you doing?" Aemma asked when she entered her room.

"Do you have any old dresses?" Rhaenyra inquired.

"You're looking for a dress at this hour?" Aemma raised an eyebrow.

"I...It's for Alicent." Rhaenyra said. "She wanted to try on some dresses, and I told her that you have old ones that you're not using. I want to find it before I forget."

Aemma knew that her daughter was lying, but she chose to ignore it.

"Let me help." Aemma helped her daughter search for a dress. "Ah, this is the perfect one. I wore it when I met your father for our betrothal celebration." Aemma gave her daughter a pink and purple dress with golden dragon embroidery. "Alicent will love this." Aemma winked.

"Thank you mother. You have no idea what this means to me. I mean what it means to Alicent. What it will mean to her." Rheanyra quickly corrected herself.

"I'm glad that she will be happy." Aemma winked and laughed when her daughter left the room.

Corlys and Rhaenys chambers

"You're sure?" Corlys asked.

"I am. I want to marry Prince Baelon Targaryen. I love him. He makes me feel happy and more than the daughter of the Sea Snake. Laena said. I meant no offense."

"I didn't take any." Corlys said.

"What your father is trying to say is, he's happy that you're happy." Rhaenys interjected. She then presented a black and yellow dress with golden embroidery. "Baelon will love you in this."

"Thank you, mother." Laena went her chambers to get dressed and left for Baelons chambers

Baelons chambers

When Alicent arrived at Baelons chambers, she found Rhaenyra and Laena already there.

"What are the two of you doing here?" Alicent asked.
