Summary
And even if getting Rhaenyra in as a soloist was a staggering show of nepotism, she was still the best concert pianist on the planet. It was like when Dmitri Junior recorded Shostakovich’s second. You could get mad about it for a bit, but it was ultimately fair game. Alicent had already reached all these conclusions because Viserys had spoken to her weeks ago about programming the Concerto, which only had the unwanted effect of giving her time to turn it over in her brain like a particularly nauseating Rubix cube. Each solution of the puzzle led her to the same conclusion: she would be seeing Rhaenyra imminently, and there wasn’t a damn thing she could do about it.
After ten years apart, Rhaenyra Targaryen re-enters Alicent's life for a set of solo engagements with her orchestra. Things go about as well as expected (not very).

Summary
She stumbled backwards, knowing with horror that she was about to trip and fall and hit the ground in utter humiliation - when a hand shot out and grabbed her by the wrist. She was yanked back to her feet.
“Dreadfully sorry,” said the perpetrator of Alicent’s very near demise. “Are you alright?” Heart thumping, Alicent looked up, half-convinced she was on the floor and just hadn’t noticed it yet - and found herself staring straight into the violet eyes of Rhaenyra Targaryen.
