   Summary

   After the Last Supper, Alicent and Rhaenyra say goodnight to Viserys together. Fully aware of Viserys's wishes, Alicent must now choose between her king's love for his daughter, and her own love for their sons. And though she 'knows' in her heart that her family deserves the throne, claiming it comes with a price: Rhaenyra's life.

   Or does it?

   Alicent knows Aegon's not fit to rule, but she still fears Daemon's ascension. Inspired by the fate of the first and last Storm Queen, she proposes a creative way to save Rhaenyra by installing Aemond as her King Consort. Aemond gets to reign, Otto gets to rule, Aegon gets to relax, Ser Criston gets revenge, and Alicent gets Rhaenyra. Everyone gets what they want. Every one of the Greens, that is.

   Rhaenyra is the key to the Seven Kingdoms, and the Hightowers hold her in their hands. More importantly, they hold the mother of seven children. And while Daemon is a formidable commander, he's also a terrible parent.
