Aemond: Remind me of your place on the small council.
Alicent: You know very well I represented your father during the last years of his life, and I have been a councilor to Aegon.
Aemond: Capably so. My father's dead and Aegon is ... You served the realm well at a time of need. That need is ended. You are no longer obliged.
Alicent: It's not a matter of obligation. This council has need of a tempering voice.
Aemond: We have more than enough of those, if you ask me.
Alicent: You have the impetuousness of youth and its arrogance, neither of which is to be desired in a king.
Aemond: I release you of your seat, such as it was. I'm sure you'll be much pleased to return to more domestic pursuits.
Alicent: Have the indignities of your childhood not yet sufficiently been avenged?
Aemond: You have the gratitude of the crown.
