At Harrenhal, Alicent recites her fake story about her “escape” from the Red Keep and rattles on about the trusted knight who helped her make the journey. Ormund doesn’t react; instead, he asks Corlys why he’s bothered to ally himself with the “brutish and incurious” Targaryens. Alys doesn’t like the sound of that. At Harrenhal, Alicent makes another attempt to reason with her son. Rhaenyra doesn’t offer forgiveness—she shoos him out with an “it’s late”—but you can tell how upset this whole situation has made her.
