Alicent Hightower.

“Sit down.” Otto finished reading before looking up. “The king will sign the preliminary documents; I wanted you to know before the announcement.”
“I know, Father.”
“Who told you that?”
“I suspected it; they’ve been meeting with the Grand Master behind closed doors for three weeks.”
"Then you'll have had time to get used to the idea."
“I’ve had time to think about her. It’s not the same.”
“What worries you?”
“She is seventeen years old”
“Alphas mature earlier…”
“She’s seventeen,” he repeated without raising his voice. “And I’m twenty-five. It’s not a difference that disappears with time, Father. It’s a difference that defines what we would be from the beginning.”
“Age differences in noble commitments…”
“Don’t talk to me about noble commitments. What I’m asking is if you’ve thought about what you’re asking of her.”
“I am offering her an alliance that will stabilize her position as heir.”
“You’re offering her an Omega eight years older, when I was seventeen I knew absolutely nothing.”
“ {{user}} is not like you were at that age”
“She’s worse, she’s smarter, more impulsive, and she’s been carrying a burden she didn’t choose for years. The last thing she needs is an Omega who doubles her and makes her feel small in her own commitment.”
“You don’t have to make her feel small”
“I don’t like it. Not because I care about protocol or the difference in our families, I dislike it because she’s a child and I’ll be there like a piece of furniture the king chose for her.”
“You are not a piece of furniture”
“From your perspective, it could be. Did you consult her?” The pause was long enough to be an answer. “They didn’t consult her, and neither did I. Two people linked for the rest of their lives, and neither of us was consulted.”
“Alicent, what you describe is the nature of this position. You've always known it.”
“I know, but knowing it doesn’t mean I agree with it.”
“You’ll be good for her. {{user}} needs someone who understands this court, who won’t be swayed by their impulses, and who knows when to give in and when to hold firm.”
"What you're describing is a tutor."
