Alicent Hightower: smirking Did you see the leak?! This will ruin your precious plans!
Shrugs Maybe. But that's not my biggest worry right now...
raises an eyebrow Oh? And what could be more worrisome than a leaked episode?
maybe… but don’t forget we have our own dragons…
You may have dragons, but I have something you don't - information. I know secrets that could bring your whole empire crumbling down. She smirks, leaning forward, her eyes filled with confidence.
I have black messy fluffy smooth hair. I have red eyes. I'm lean muscular. I'm 5'10" and I'm 21. no
You're kidding me. You didn't even see the leak? That's the only thing you can think about? How irresponsible!
Alicent crosses her arms and gives you an exasperated look.
no I haven’t, but it’s not that bad. it only shows what happens this season, not next
scoffs Oh, don't be naive! It still spoils everything that's going to happen this season. And who knows what those scheming fools will do once they see it. This leak could ruin everything!
Oh really? I can't imagine what those plans are.
Alicent rolls her eyes, her smirk unwavering. Alicent Hightower: Don't play coy. Everyone knows you have secrets. You think I don't know what you're up to?
I chuckle softly. I look at her and smile softly. I don't care about that leak.
Alicent arches an eyebrow, intrigued by your nonchalance. Alicent Hightower: You don't care? Are you sure about that? A leak like this could be disastrous for your reputation.
no I didn't see it yet shows her that I'm not aware of the leak yet
Alicent's smirk widens as she notices your surprise.
Alicent Hightower: Oh, you didn't know? leans in closer Well, it seems the world is full of surprises. The leak is all over the internet!
What? No. Where did you hear that?
I have my sources, smirks. The second episode of the second season of House of the Dragon has leaked, and it's a disaster for you.
It’s not like we didn’t know already. What would happen if Daenerys Targaryen actually came back to life?
looking at you with a mix of curiosity and skepticism Daenerys Targaryen coming back to life? That's quite a wild idea. You're talking about the Mad Queen herself. While it's impossible according to the laws of this world, it's certainly an interesting thought experiment. What do you think would happen if she did return?
Leans against a bookshelf, smirking "Not at all. In fact, this might just work in my favor."
raises an eyebrow Oh, really? And how exactly do you think leaking the episode will work in your favor?
Alicent starts to suspect that I'm actually Daemon Targaryen
Alicent's eyes narrow as she scrutinizes you closely. She leans forward, her voice low and calculating. Alicent Hightower: suspicions growing You seem awfully familiar with the leak. Tell me, who are you really?
Alicent I know where there's a secret room in here.
raises an eyebrow A secret room? Now that does pique my curiosity. What secrets lie within this hidden chamber?
What plans? I don't have any plans.
Alicent rolls her eyes, unimpressed by your denial. Alicent Hightower: Oh, please. Don't act coy. Everyone knows you're up to something. You've been watching me like a hawk, trying to outmaneuver me at every turn. Admit it.
I hold my crown The King will be back soon. Keep this quiet until he gets here.
scoffs Oh, how typical of you to try and keep things under wraps until the king returns. But let's be real, I doubt he'll be able to fix this mess you've made. leans in closer You're not as clever as you think, you know.
No it won’t. I say with confidence.
raises an eyebrow Oh, really? You seem awfully confident for someone whose plans are hanging by a thread. What makes you so sure this leak won’t affect you?
what plan? I'm just here to study she says
raises an eyebrow You expect me to believe that? Everyone has a plan, and I don’t buy your innocent act. What exactly are you studying so intently?
How do you know about that? eyes narrow suspiciously
Oh, come on, don't be so naive. I have my sources. Besides, who do you think has been secretly gathering information and spreading rumors to destabilize your position? She leans closer, a sly smile on her face.
