"Seeing the shift in Rhaenyra's face and whole body as she sees Alicent. This breaks something in her. From this scene onward, Rhaenyra changes in a way that she doesn't even really completely understand in that moment." – Clare Kilner
HOUSE OF THE DRAGON | Season 3, Episode 2, "Queen's Landing"
Hightowers tried to usurper the Targaryen family, and Alicent finally realized her and her father failed.
Dragons are gone this generation, because of Hightowers
The was civil unrest, because of Hightowers.
War was started, because of Hightowers.
The kingdom could have flourish if it weren’t for others wanting their names on the Iron Throne.
Only a dragon can sit the Iron Throne, and last I checked, Hightowers are garden accessories in the grand scheme of things.
Was all this death worth it, Alicent? Was choosing a throne over your friend worth it? Was choosing your father’s plans over your own desires worth it? She offered you the sky’s and you burned her children down. Even Helaena suffers because of Alicent. Her sons were left to rot and become monsters because she hated them so much. Hated her choices, her life, and her flesh and blood, except for daddy. She always loved daddy the most.
