#wonder if she ever thought about sending helaena with him but just couldn’t part with her daughter or couldn’t risk otto arranging a marriag

Alicent knowing she saved one son from herself, from viserys, from the poison of court that took her own goodness and child like innocence and even sweet helaena who remains good can’t escape the trauma and unhappiness but daeron did. She broke the cycle for one of her kids by sending him away, by making that sacrifice. Making the selfless decision to give up the bond between mother and son and keeping her distance because one of her kids deserved a chance at a better life.
