Summary
Alicent had done her duty, knowing it was the honorable thing to do, the right thing to do. Yet, was it honorable, was it right, watching her children being second best to their own father? Was it honorable, was it right, to plunge them into the game of thrones, letting them be sacrificed on the altar of someone else's ambition?
She had let her father done that to her. Not anymore.
Alicent was a mother now, she could be brave.
[Or, Alicent took the kids, faked their deaths, and ran away from Westeros]

Summary
Brutus still cherished the idea that once Caesar was out of the way, Antony's generous nature, ambition, and love of glory would respond to the noble example set by the conspirators, and that he would join them in helping their country to achieve her liberty.
-PlutarchIn the run-up to the most famous political assassination in history, principled-to-a-fault Marcus Brutus tried unsuccessfully to recruit Caesar's right-hand man, the controversial and outrageous Mark Antony; in this story, Antony accepts. They will spend the next nine months staggering from one crisis to the next, fending off all manner of detractors, power-seekers, each other, and one particularly determined youth who in another life became the first emperor of Rome.

Summary
“It makes me feel like a princess,” she admitted. “Just like in the stories. A fair maiden locked away in a far-off turret. Knowing that any strapping young knights wanting to court me will have to earn their way past the fierce, jealous dragon who guards my door. It’s quite comforting.”
Rhaenyra grinned sleepily. “A princess in a what now?”
Incredible. She could actually hear Alicent rolling her eyes. “In a high tower, yes, you’re very clever, Rhaenyra. Gods, why do I talk to you.”
