Summary
“Has… has your Father found you a husband already?” A whisper at best. One that Alicent could pretend she didn’t hear and they could both go on as if nothing happened. Rhaenyra wished she had done that.
“Yes.”
Rhaenyra nodded. She didn’t feel like she had much of a place to reveal more about herself to Alicent than she already has. She could survive Alicent leaving for a little while to get married, fulfill her duty to her House and that of her future lord husband. What she couldn’t survive was Alicent turning away from her, running from her with disgust at worst and soft regret in her eyes at best. Because even though she may leave in a few days’ time, Rhaenyra would get her back to the Red Keep one way or the other. If she couldn’t reason with Otto Hightower, then she would reason with whoever could count himself the lucky lord that has been promised the hand of Lady Hightower in marriage. And if she could not, well, she would cross that bridge if it ever came to that too.
