Summary
Alicent could not sleep. Earlier that evening she’d come to Helaena’s chamber and discharged her long dreaded maternal duty: to inform a maiden daughter on the cusp of her wedding of the facts of life. Alicent had not been able to prevent herself from crying, a little, looking at Helaena’s lovely face, her delicate skin with its fine dusting of freckles. She had never been able to understand how she and Viserys, some unworthy night, made something this beautiful, a Targaryen girl with silver hair that curls like Alicent’s own. Every time she was pregnant, all Alicent could think of was it being over, of getting the babe out, but the second they’d put Helaena in her arms for the first time, delirious with pain, she’d slurred politely to the midwife, “Put her back, please.”

Summary
“There are ways to make it a good experience for a woman.” Whores were well enough before marriage, according to Viserys, but they did not teach one how to treat a princess, a queen, a wife. Aegon knew too keenly that he could do whatever he liked to them, and could give in to his basest instincts without consequence. Viserys’ days on the Street of Silk were long past when Alicent came to his bed. He often said how his beloved Aemma had made a man of him. Alicent remembered Rhaenyra’s elegant, gracious mother and wondered how much she owed her predecessor for encouraging an instinctive gentleness in her husband. Alicent is queen; her daughter will be queen after her.

Summary
A white immensity. Thrusting up above a deeper darkness. A sun? A white immensity cresting dark waters and shattering them into streams of red and gold. No, not quite. It is smaller than that, quite a bit smaller. She would think about it the next time she was so open time poured in. Or perhaps it was that time poured in so insistently it opened her up.
