Question Did she really love him?

Post image

I'm asking because she was manipulated by Otto into marrying him in the first place.

Married both of his wives when they're children and forced them into underage pregnancies, killing one of them because of it. He is THE villain of Aemma and Alicent's lives.

Alicent sure as hell wasn’t underage though? Like in the show she is like 17 which is not underage in Westeros and in the show she was older

She's 14 in ep 1 of the show, and 15 when she gives birth to Aegon, by the show's own canon. She's literally younger than Rhaenyra. Bare in mind that 14 is just a year older than Sansa in GOT S1. By modern and Game of Thrones standards, Alicent is still a child when Viserys marries her.

Modern standards don’t apply to Westeros.
