"My Dearest Father,

I write to you with a heavy heart, burdened by the weight of troubling tidings from King's Landing. Aegon's court meetings have unveiled a sinister truth that cannot be ignored.

It pains me to convey that Aegon, in his folly, shows no inclination towards peace. Instead, he jests with his drunken companions about the betrayal of Rhaenyra should she entertain the notion of surrender. His callous disregard for the gravity of our situation is truly alarming.

Furthermore, Aegon's demeanor towards his own children is equally distressing. He speaks flippantly of their worth, reducing them to mere pawns in his ruthless game of war. Even the hatching of Jaehaera's dragon, a moment of joy and wonder, is marred by his indifference. He sees the dragon not as a symbol of hope, but as another tool in his arsenal, to be exploited for his own ambitions.

Father, I fear for the future of our house and the realm itself. Rhaenyra's path to victory grows ever more perilous in the face of such treachery. We must tread carefully and consider our next steps with utmost caution.

With a heavy heart and fervent prayers for our family's well-being,

                                                            -Alicent"
