Lord Alliser attended this event grudgingly. Unlike his brother these events were not a pleasure for him, His only wish was to not be too noticed by the royal procession. The Gods only know how far from favor I have fallen since Aegon has died. And with the past kings royal pronouncement of all bastards being legitimized there has been no end of consternation from the nobility. Where before I was merely a pawn of the kings playthings, now I have become the man who has allowed for the perversion of the natural order of succession. How was I supposed to know that he would decide that all his bastards would be legitimized? I only hope that at the end of this my house does not suffer from a spiteful razing, in an attempt to remove us from the histories of the Maesters. Gods know we are a small house, and the Florients still support us because of the taxes we pay, but if a war occurs and we can not continue to support the heavy tax bills... who knows if he might decided that I am no longer useful for his purposes.
A gentle touch on his arm of his Lady Wife draws him back to the moment from his reverie, and he looks down on the smiling face of his wife. She points with excitement towards the prince, as two bannermen holding aloft the tall banners of house targyeon bring him along. He smiles at her warmly, her enthusiastic smile causing Alliser to feel that comfortable warmth of slowly grown affection. With and pats her hand, his face sliding back into a calm expression with his slight practiced smile showing towards the crown. The colorful banners continued, announcing the hundreds of knights and their closest retainers. Lord Alliser continues to sit, only shifting slightly in his seat as the multicolored serpent continues onwards.
