While at the children's fight pit, Ser Erryk and his brother are approached by a mysterious woman who says she knows where Aegon is. Queen Alicent tries to persuade Rhaenys to back Aegon. Have you never imagined yourself on the Iron Throne?"Īlicent rejects the hypothetical and tells Rhaenys to call her when she's made up her mind. You desire not to be free, but to make a window in the wall of your prison. "You are wiser than I believed you to be … and yet you toil still in service to men. "We do not rule, but we may guide the men who do," Alicent says, "away from violence and sure destruction, and instead toward peace." Queen Alicent says that Rhaenys should have been made ruler over Viserys - that Viserys was better suited to being a country lord who spent his time hunting and reading history books.

One lord and one lady object, saying they won't break their oath to Princess Rhaenyra. "You once swore your banners to Rhaenyra, you must now pledge them to the future king," Hightower decrees. ![]() It's a shakedown: He's forcing them to bend the knee to the new king. In the meantime, Otto Hightower has assembled King's Landing's lords and ladies in the Great Hall. Naturally, the first place Aemond thinks Aegon will be is a pleasure house.
