House of the Dragonis full of relationships, both romantic and otherwise.

Additionally, as the show continues, Alicent and Cole’s relationship can give Alicent more power.

Neither can publicly be in a relationship at the moment.

A more obvious issue is Cole’s Kingsguard oath, in which he swore to celibacy.

As a young woman, Alicent was married to Viserys, a man old enough to be her father.
