Alicent is quite boring to me especially in season two because the writers seem too afraid to do anything substantial with her character and since Helaena is clearly not driven mad by grief⦠I want to see Alicent kill her children.
Alicent, grief stricken and furious to find Helaena not mourning for Aemondās death. If anything, Helaena merely alludes to the fact she knew it would happen and how Aegon will be king once more.
It causes mother and daughter to argue, to fight. Alicent pushes Helaena, causing her to fall from her window and to her death.
This would then lead into a character arc for Season 4; a season where Alicent has lost all composure and is filled with guilt over the death of her children, haunted by dreams of Helaenaās fall and her faith.
She believes she must save Aegon; she poisons her eldest son and cradles his body close, muttering broken prayers to The Seven and kissing his forehead, wiping the blood from his nose and mouth with her sleeves.
Mayhaps Jaehaera falls victim to her grandmotherās religious psychosis too.
