Summary
“What’s she like?”
Alicent sighs. “I do not know. We were friends many years ago.”
At least, Alicent likes to think they were friends. But the princess was always sporadic with her attentions— quick to grow bored of things, discarding the old in favor of the new. Alicent supposes that’s what happened to her, as well. She had written letters, those first few moons after she returned to Oldtown.
The princess never responded.

The king is seeking a husband for his omega daughter, so countless lords send their sons to vie for the hand of the future queen.
Alicent is not a son. She is not a knight. Her presentation was surely a mistake, one that’s cost her everything. Now she is her brother’s squire, accompanying him to King’s Landing as he competes for the princess's hand.

Summary
It’s sometimes hard for Rhaenyra to comprehend how much her life has changed as of late.
A year ago she was betrothed to her dear cousin. She was fighting at her uncle’s side in the Stepstones. Slaughtering men by day. Sharing her bed with whores by night.
Rhaenyra thought that would be her lot in life. She was a second child— a forgotten spare in her father’s eyes on the best of days, and a cruel reminder of her mother’s violent death on the worst.
But everything has changed, now. Rhaenyra never knew that life has so much more to offer.
