The first years of her marriage were pure bliss. Alyssa was fairly certain that the Mother had given her the very best of husbands (even if her ladies in waiting would disagree), the most welcoming sister-in-law, and a purpose in creating an orphanage within Kings Landing.

This moment is the catalyst for the Greens to test her loyalty- whether it be to them or to her lady Aunt (Rhaenys).
