    Summary

    "He wears a crown of flowers." Helaena would murmur, her voice a haunting whisper whenever Alicent reminded her that Aegon was destined to be king. Though her words were lightless, devoid of the joy that should accompany such a prophecy, Alicent clung to them as if they were a good omen. Aegon would be king. That was the promise that held them all together, a fragile thread woven into the violent fabric of their lives. If Aegon were king, they would all be spared. Their house, their bloodline, their futures—everything rested on that brittle hope. Aegon would be spared.

    Aegon dies by his own hands before he is coronated. Aemond was named King, and Alicent can't forget her first boy. Or rather Aegon haunts her and guides her through stopping dance of the dragons.
