The Winds Of Fire & Blood || Alicent Hightower
"Only a week ago, my lord husband was alive, and the realm was at peace. He knew the realm would not accept a Queen, so he changed his mind, Rheanyra's supporters may believe what they wish, but Maëlor wanted Aegon to succeed him, howbeit we play the pieces over the board, the war will be fought, many will die, and the victor will eventually ascend the throne." ~ Queen Alicent Hightower.
"I've soon realized the gods have punished me for my indulgence. I am forever doomed to anger one person, in the pleasing of another. One moment there's peace in my household, the next there's fire on the mountain. Interminable fightings and madness, all because I chose to marry a girl from Old Town! A woman who refuses to give me piece of mind in my own home, just because I refute to make Aegon my heir! For all I know the boy is Alicent's blood! Her blood!"~ King Maëlor Targaryen.
"My father, chose me, his first born child to succeeded him, and now Alicent's son, sits my throne. I mean to fight this war and win it with fire and blood." ~Princess Rheanyra Targaryen

Pious and graceful, the King's wife has skeletons in her cupboard, yet her righteous nature, leads her and her house into peril and doom. The once Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, now known as the Queen in Chains.
