Alicent's Cry

Alicent Hightower, the Queen Regent, is a complex and conflicted character. She has always been torn between her duty to her family and her desire for peace. In the Season 2 finale, she is forced to make a decision that will have far-reaching consequences.

A Mother's Love

Alicent is a mother first and foremost. She loves her children dearly and would do anything to protect them. But she also knows that the realm is in danger. The Greens and the Blacks are on the brink of war, and Alicent fears that her children will be caught in the crossfire.

In the finale, Alicent is forced to choose between her children and the realm. She knows that if she does not support Aegon's claim to the throne, he will likely be killed. But if she does support him, it will mean war. Alicent is heartbroken by this decision, but she ultimately chooses the realm over her children.
