   Summary

   In another world, Rhaenyra had chosen to watch the tourney with Alicent. In this one, however, driven by a strange fear, she decided to spend time with her mother despite her father's protests. Due to that, she got the first row in the barbaric mummer’s play that played out in the Queen’s chambers under the King’s orders.
   This changed things for House Targaryen.

   Or,

   Aemma Arryn would be avenged. Rhaenyra would make sure her murderers would get what they deserved. Even if one of them were her father.
