rhaenyra telling alicent that "history will remember you as a villain; a cold queen grasping for power and then defeated" while we know full well what history did to rhaenyra's memory gave me emotional damage

Snippet of Rhaenyra trying to acts-of-service-gift-giving her way into Alicent's pants because she made her mad again

...............................................................................

Alicent dared not gaze down at the woman kneeled in front of her feet. She feared if she saw the pleading look in her eyes she'd either melt like the candles in the cripts...or claw her eyes out.

She would not cave to the temptation. This is always how the story goes. Rhaenyra, ever entitled and ever the spoiled princess of the seven kingdoms, toys with her head, breaks all her boundaries without care...just to sway her way back to Alicent's good graces with a few fictitious apologies.

A kiss on her palm, a tender warm embrace and a whine of repentance whispered in her ear was always all it took to make her forget the princess' wrongdoings. Forever going back to the hand that feeds her.

Not this time. Not after all the humiliation and ignorance. This was Rhaenyra's final transgression.

"Won't you look at me, your highness" That lucrative voice rang in her ears again from where she was kneeled in front of Alicent. Yet she did not give in. She continued to feign interest in the book she was holding.

The dowager queen heaved in shock as she felt rough hands grabbing her ankle suddenly, pulling it closer to her assailant.

"Let go of me at once" She commanded In the most stern voice she could master.

"Speaking so harshly to the heir of the throne" Rhaenyra's eyes finally met hers. Those sickly and inhuman lilac irises stared at her pleadingly, eyebrows arched to exaggerate her sad expression. "My love, you're cruel."

"You're insatiable. Selfish. Spoiled. I want peace. And once again- you're disturbing it"

Rhaenyra dismissed her completely. Reaching for a box she placed next to her before she kneeled in front of Alicent.

"I come bearing gifts"

"I have no need for your flattery-"

A gasp replaced her words as Rhaenyra suddenly took hold of her ankle, placing the shinny heel on her foot in the process.

The queen took a moment to inspect the shiny garment. The exceptional detail of it was a product of weeks of carefull and meticulous work no doubt, and clearly custom made with a specific description.

"Satisfied? Your grace?" Asked the lilac eyed devil at her feet.

Alicent of course, wanted to drown in this moment of appreciation. Wanted to pause time forever and revel in Rhaenyra's adoration for the rest of eternity. For this was the only thing that truly brought light in Alicent's dark and unbearable life.

She wanted to gloat over being the object of Rhaenyra's attention, parade around like a proud pet wearing a tag with their owner's name.

Of course, she would not admit that out loud.

"I could request for the finest footwear that Westeros has to offer to be made for me within a day's notice. You know this. So why waste time on cheap endowment."

The princess chuckled. A genuine laugh and a sigh "oh how I crave your honeyed words"

And so Rhaenyra tried to stand up and bring her mouth close to Alicent's neck, a motion that was abruptly stopped by the green queen's new heel on her torso. With said motion, the brunette woman slowly lowered the other back to her original position, kneeled in front her.

Eye contact was not broken even for a spare minute. Rhaenyra's wide eyed gaze focused in primal concentration on Alicent's brown eyes which were staring back at her, not daring to give the vile woman beneath her the satisfaction of surrendering first.

Another chuckle from the silver haired terror. Her hand came up to stroke the smooth pale skin of the queen's leg. She brought her lips to her ankle, not quit kissing it, more like nuzzling her face in the crook of it. Her eyes looked up to Alicent as she said the following words.

"It seems it takes more than gifts to make you forgive me for my transgressions. In that case-" A single kiss on her ankle. "- Let me show you precisely how remorseful I am." Another kiss, higher this time "In the only way I properly know how"

I just finished watching all of the videos featuring Alice's and Orpheus' lore... and it just confirms for me that this fanbase doesn't know the lore of this game LMAO.

Thank god someone made this reddit post so I'd have an easier time keeping track of key details...

I'm going to make a bigger post at a later date, but I just wanted to point out something important:

The Prologue and the first act of Time of Reunion is set-up for the reveal of Orpheus being "Nightmare" - the person who is creating and carrying out the games. It is also setting up the reveal of Orpheus being the child of the forest ranger who is responsible for the death of Alice's parents. The blond man and woman in this painting are Alice's parents, not Orpheus'.

There's also this letter mentioning Orpheus' sick mother. Orpheus' father planned to rob from the DeRoss family fortune so he could pay for her healthcare.

Here's the same painting taken from AoM - its also in the same room as the TOR painting. It's interesting how Orpheus remembers the maid and his father as forest rangers when in reality his father was the forest ranger.

A photo of Alice and her parents from AoM:

Alice calling Orpheus her playmate:

Orpheus' knows the Nightingale Song that opens all the doors in the manor and the outside gate, which implies he was an unwitting participant in his fathers scheme to murder the DeRoss family and steal their fortune.

The nightingale song in AOM is the same one used in The Novelist backstory video by the way. Timestamp is 0:39

There's just SO MUCH to unpack lmao.

Curse Words: Spellcasting for Fun and Prophet series (The Cursed Heart, The Labyrinth of Dreams, The Heiress of Duniyasar, From the Top of the World, and other stories) by Derin Edala

Kayden was six months old when the doctor found the curse in his heart. From then on, his life was a struggle to manage it, to keep it locked away and dormant and above all secret, dreading the day that it would finally break free and wreak havoc. Now he's fourteen, and that day has come.

Things look bad, but there's hope — the world's most prestigious magical school is willing to take him in, keep him safe, and pay his legal fees to avoid bankrupting his family. Most importantly, they can teach him to control his curse, to avoid ever hurting anyone else. It sounds far too good to be true, but what other option does he have?

Kayden quickly finds himself embroiled in a large political game he doesn't understand. But he'd better learn fast. Because the secrets of his new school run deeper than he ever expected, and his actions have far more dangerous consequences than he could ever have known.

𝙙𝙖𝙨𝙝 𝙜𝙖𝙢𝙚, which tragic death would you suffer ?

the prophetic hero.

you die saving the world, as you were always supposed to. peace comes only with your blood. the world will remember you for centuries. they will write poems, create art, and film movies all about you. no one will remember what you were before your death. maybe you don't even know it either. you have spent so long saving the world time after time that there is nothing left of you except the heroism. you die never knowing love.
