   Summary

   What if Alicent Hightower and Daemon Targaryen were never meant to be enemies, but the realm demanded they were?

   Alicent Hightower always wanted to be queen and Daemon Targaryen always wanted to be king.

   ---

   In this universe Viserys chooses duty over love, and marries Laena Velaryon instead of Alicent Hightower. Rhea Rhoyce died in 102 AC, so Daemon is free to marry and so is Alicent, which leads to Viserys having an interesting idea.
