Fans call out Alicent for her hypocrisy

Alicent drinking Moon Tea to get rid of Criston Cole’s child mirrors what happened to young Rhaenyra in Season 1 after King Viserys finds out about her night adventures. Fans were shocked to see her in this condition and said:

Alicent is drinking moon tea because she got pregnant by Criston Cole. Where is the duty, Alicent, where is the sacrifice?😄😄😄#HouseOfTheDragon #HOTD pic.twitter.com/j4YmzXXnoS

#HOTD Theory time 🐉🔥:
In the books Alicent never leaves her chambers after the war and stays there up until her death by “fever”. “She is attended only by her septa, serving girls, and guards.” What if the show is going to say it’s because she got pregnant?🤰#HouseOfTheDragon pic.twitter.com/09pauQkNnD
