Summary
At five and ten, Rhaenyra plays the game of thrones.
Dance of the Dragons Fix-it | The Dance never happens
—
Chapter 11 preview, Rhaenyra VI:
The revelry was tiring instead of rewarding, for there was something she had been anxious to attend to. At the foot of the raised table where the rest of the family sat, stood Ser Criston; watchful and loyal, his presence never strayed far from his Queen. This dedication was nothing more but a bitter reminder that come morning, she must make a decision and remove him from service.
It would be the first time she’ll ever be directly responsible for someone else’s fate. Treason warranted death as punishment, yet she could not give it in clear conscience — Ser Criston had indeed followed her orders under her own less than noble interest. He had been loyal, to a point.
Yet, she knew what she must do. No complication would stand in her way; not now, not ever, even if she had to hide the blood under her fingernails.
On the morrow, Ser Criston would be gone.

Summary
Perhaps in madness, Alicent had refashioned Rhaenyra as a witch—that would explain why, when the tip of the princess’ tongue landed in the crevice between hand and wrist, Alicent felt the movement below her stomach. Perhaps Rhaenyra had disembodied her, scrambled her. Distantly, she was grateful: now a man would never split her open.
There are things Alicent knows, and many more she forgets.

"I thought you could go to her and offer her comfort."
"In her chambers…? I… I wouldn't know what to say…”

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?
