The funny thing is that before this scene, Alicent had let Larys get away with killing two people for her own benefit. Justice didn't matter much to her at that moment. She also had Criston as a Guard after he savagely killed someone, and she has been trying for years to have Rhaenyra and her children exiled or even worse, killed. She also hides information when it benefits her; she didn't mention Aegon when she went to complain to Viserys about the pig's joke, when she knows perfectly well that Aegon participated and possibly planned it. When she went to Aegon's chambers, she basically told him that he could keep bothering Aemond, but only him. Alicent can overlook the crimes or bad behavior of others as long as it benefits her cause and herself.

That's why what Rhaenyra told her is completely true: Alicent goes around believing herself honorable, morally superior, and more correct than others, and she loves to judge. But she will be quite willing to turn a blind eye and allow crimes and bad behavior as long as they benefit her, and then she will turn around and continue acting as if she were holier than others.

I agree with @kataraavatara. People (including @thekinslayed) forget that just minutes earlier on screen Rhaenyra was talking to Daemon about how she didn't think Alicent was capable of being involved in the Strongs' murder after all. But when she saw that Alicent was capable of attacking a 6/7-year-old child with a knife to intentionally hurt him, and the law and the king's order did not stop her from doing so, she realized that yes, Alicent was capable of murder. And that she's involved in the deaths of Harvin and Lyonel.

Moreover, I do not think that Alicent's life was some great sacrifice and service for which she had to be rewarded, but rather something that was normal in Westeros - arranged marriages were commonplace and the fact that a woman after marriage was supposed to be faithful to the family husband was the norm, not a sacrifice. It's as if Catelyn deserved to be called a saint because she took care of the Starks' interests after her marriage 🙄

20 Questions for Fic Writers

Thank you for the tag, my darling @itbmojojoejo 💙

1. How many works do you have on ao3(or masterlist)? - I've only ever uploaded to Tumblr. I have 4 stories total (but all have multiple parts).

2. What’s your total ao3/tumblr word count? - I literally never counted until now - 66,700 (plus an additional 3500 in the works)

3. What fandoms do you write for? - Mostly just Ewanverse (Salad Days, High Life, and TLK) but I have recently dabbled in HOTD (Modern AU Aegon & Aemond)

4. Top five fics by kudos - I'll just do top 3 with the most notes since I don't have many fics: Temptation Part 1 (Ettore/High Life - DD;DNE), Surrender Part 1 (Aegon Modern AU), Redemption Part 1 (Will- Salad Days)

5. Do you respond to comments? - YES! It is the BEST part of writing!

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? - I'm a sucker for happy endings. Temptation was definitely angsty but the ending of Part 2 of Surrender could also be considered a different sort of angsty (wiggles eyebrows).

7. What is the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? - Definitely Redemption (Will - Salad Days) but I'd say Devotion (Osferth - TLK) is a close second.

8. Do you get hate on fics? - No, I think I would crumple and cry if I ever did!

9. Do you write smut? - My fics are porn with little plot 😈

10. Craziest crossover? - Haven't considered but now you got me thinking!

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? - I sure hope not.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? - Not to my knowledge

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? - No, I think that would be difficult to blend creative ideas but kudos to those that do it!

14. All time favorite ship? - Call me crazy but I happened upon the most beautifully written fic on ao3 with the most unusual pairing but I instantly fell in love - Aemond x Aethelstan (TLK): A Red Dawn Rises by Avonne. Give it a read!

15. What’s a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will? - I literally fell hard for Aethelstan when writing Devotion and I tried my hand at writing for him. I do not think I will finish his story but I dearly love the character.

16. What are your writing strengths? - The smut! It comes most naturally despite never writing smut (or anything actually) until I published my first fic last summer.

17. What are your writing weaknesses? - Comprehensively telling a story without needing a ton of words to do so. I am working on keeping my fics shorter while still conveying a complete story without going overboard!

18. Thoughts on dialogue in another language? - I like it but I also need to know what they are saying so I can follow along.

19. First fandom you wrote in? - Ewanverse - Will from Salad Days

20. Favorite fic you’ve written? - Devotion is my personal favorite, there's just something calming and sweet about Osferth and his story flowed from my brain effortlessly.
