Quotes 

• Queen Alicent Hightower : I disgraced myself. And ensured my husband's favor will forever rest on her.

  Ser Otto Hightower : And yet I've never seen that side of you, my daughter. I even doubted its existence.

  Queen Alicent Hightower : It was an ugly thing. I regret it.

  Ser Otto Hightower : We play an ugly game. And now, for the first time, I see that you have the determination to win it.

• [Rhaenyra struggles with Alicent] 

  Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen : You've gone too far.

  Queen Alicent Hightower : I? What have I done but what was expected of me? Forever upholding the kingdom, the family, the law. While you flout all to do as you please.

  King Viserys I Targaryen : Alicent, let her go!

  Queen Alicent Hightower : Where is duty? Where is sacrifice? It's trampled under your pretty foot again.

  Ser Otto Hightower : Release the blade, Alicent.

  Queen Alicent Hightower : And now you take my son's eye, and to even that, you feel entitled.

  Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen : Exhausting, wasn't it? Hiding beneath the cloak of your own righteousness.

  Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen : [whispers]  But now they see you as you are.

  [Alicent cuts Rhaenyra deeply to everyone's horror]
