To Love A King || Maegor Targaryen
"Monster, Tyrant, Cruel and Ruthless, they whisper behind my back, but when I say 'I love you', it's not because I want you or because I can't have you. It has nothing to do with me. I love what you are, what you do, how you try. I've seen your kindness and your strength. I've seen the best and worst of you. And I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are. You're a hell of a woman. You're the one, Alicent. You are my wife, My Queen. MINE."
~ Maegor Targaryen
"My mother was made to produce heirs, until it killed her. I won't subject myself to the same fate."
~ Rheanyra Targaryen
"How sweetly the fox speaks when it's been cornered by the hounds."
~ Alicent Hightower
"You will never be a Queen, and he will never love you sweet sister, you will end up miserable, looking for death in your marriage."
~ Charlotte Hightower
"Dreams didn't make us Kings. Dragons did."
~Daemon Targaryen
"Every traits I hate about your mother, persist in you, she was insolent when I married her, I hope you'd grow out of it as she had Alicent, but alas, time continues to prove me wrong".
~ Ser Otto Hightower
TO LOVE A KING tells the tale of two half sisters driven to edge of the sword. Charlotte and Alicent Hightower. The strife both women, torn apart by the death of their mothers, family & duty. Also their history forms part of the core of House of The Dragon.
Rheanyra and Charlotte are inseparable friends, loyal and faithful to each other. Even when Charlotte starts visiting Maegor Targaryen, after the death of his wife, Queen Mellario, Rheanyra isn't offended, she even wants her best friend to marry her uncle, the King.
