She Will Not Bow, She Will Not Break (смешанная)

Alicent had always known that her burden in being Viserys' second wife was a heavy one to shoulder. Long had she toiled in the service of men that she had thought she had encountered all the faces a man could wear, especially a king. It was she who had nursed Jaehaerys in his final days, who whispered broken Valyrian lullabies to soothe Viserys' open wounds and who held her tongue against the actions of her good brother against his wife, she did not even openly slander her good daughter for how she flouted the lines of propriety and invited scrutiny to Viserys reign with treason. Through all this Alicent had stayed her tongue but no more.
