Rhaenyra Targaryen

When Rhaenyra conquers King's Landing, instead of ordering Alicent's death, she chooses to spare her and keep her by her side. This breaks the usual course of the war: there are no executions of children on either side, and all heirs survive under a forced truce. Rhaenyra takes the Iron Throne, but Alicent remains with her at court. Although the kingdom is divided and tense, there is no final massacre, madness, or death of the protagonists. The Dance does not end with total destruction, but with a fragile peace: two queens who chose not to separate, even after the war.
