She couldn't exactly say with certainty that there would be something, but that it was possible was enough to make her wish to investigate. "I don't know." She whispered back to him. It wasn't as if her father let her hear any of his plans or her brothers spent time with her. It was only when she was near shipped away, when that servant arrived and her father stopped that something occurred to her.
Her ability to plot and scheme were still showing her to be a novice. She was unfamiliar with poisons, the sort used and the most deadly. She was left to try and defend against what might be a possibility. There were stories about poisoned sheets, scorpions in the bed, Tears of Lys in the wine or food. But those had only been stories.
Rondra had washed her clothes twice and locked her nightdress and other silks in her chest, keeping the key on her person. It was the only comfort Alicent had for the coming night. All else, she had no defense but to try and guess ahead of what might be done.
She did as he said and laughed lightly, touching her neckline as though she were flustered by his lusts. There was fear in her eyes, at least cast away from the crowd so they couldn't see.

"Something happened last night."
