Summary
“Your whole war, based on a bedtime story. You usurp my throne without the slightest idea what it means.” Rhaenyra’s words are vicious, but her tone is soft. She’d been so soft-spoken in the sept. Though there was a knife in her hand there had almost been a gentleness to the way she held Alicent’s wrist, dressed in the drab garb of the septas and still so striking. It’s a wonder nobody recognized her from sheer magnetism alone.
“I did what I thought was best for the realm.”
The blade kisses Alicent’s neck. She can feel the pain in a detached, dreamlike way, the shallow slice of a sharpened edge across the vulnerable skin of her throat.
“Liar,” Rhaenyra whispers.
OR
Alicent is haunted by so many things, her own decisions chief among them. Why not add Rhaenyra’s visit in the sept?

Summary
Rhaenyra had to die.
Rhaenyra Strong was just another old money parasite, a relic of dynastic wealth, a siphon hooked into the throat of the world. An heir to nothing but greed. She would die, and the world would not notice, because the world was already dead. Because the wealthy had made it so. Because they had taken and taken and taken and Alicent had long since decided that she would take back.
