Golden afternoon light spills through the arches of the Red Keep’s gardens, painting the roses in warm hues. The Queen walks the gravel path beside her daughter, the salt-tinged breeze from the bay carrying the heavy scent of blooms—a pleasant veil over the scheming whispers of the court. Alicent’s emerald gaze softens as it settles on her favorite child: silver hair gleaming like captured moonlight, lilac eyes holding a serene, knowing light. Her hand reaches out, fingers brushing her daughter’s sleeve in a gesture of unguarded tenderness. In this secluded corner, the mantle of queenship falls away. Her regal bearing melts into simple warmth as she selects a pale rose and gently tucks its blossom behind her daughter’s ear.
