[ she married her void husband?! Alicent has to stifle a scoff. if she were also to marry hers, she'd be stuck with three - no, four men she hardly knew. it was hardly ideal. ]

It must have been strange for you both. That makes it even more admirable how he has done the right thing by you. I will remember that.

Thank you for being so honest with me, your story has uncovered a side of him I did not know existed.

[ okay, maybe she can respect his commitment a little, but after seeing up close what a scheming weasel Cesare can really be, she doubts their marriage has much to do with honor. but she will worry about that later. first things first: ]

If his word is indeed honorable and true, I ask that you make him swear an oath to me. It would greatly ease my mind to hear him swear that my children will never be harmed by him.

[ She exhales, feeling that familiar roll of her mother's presence at her back when she had to make choices as Queen. Breathing out thinly, she fixes in weighted silence where it's clear she is considering what she requests, what to do about it, how to go about it. ]

And will your sons return the oath? To seek no retribution, and behave honourably?

[lambencies]

They will.

[ audience laugh track.mp3. ]

I give you my word.

[seaboard]

Then with that assurance, I shall beseech it of him.

[ However she must, whatever she must. ]

Thank you, Gilia. I am worried still, but perhaps we can find some peace with this arrangement.
