We Need to Talk About That Conversation Between Rhaenys and Alicent in 'House of the Dragon'

Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for Episodes 1-9 of House of the Dragon.For those whose loyalty have remained on the side of the Greens, House of the Dragon’s penultimate episode of the season seems to have made it a bit difficult to stay there.

RELATED: 'House of the Dragon' Episode 9 Explained: Let's Talk About the Dragon in the Coronation Room When the above statements don’t work, Alicent desperately pivots her points to Rhaenys’ pride where she proclaims that, despite her love for Viserys, it was Rhaenys who should have sat on the throne. Looking rather surprised, Rhaenys replies: “I little thought to hear those words from you.” Within a few minutes, we see Alicent hit Rhaenys with a hook, line, and sinker, but it all falls short when she utters the words: “We do not rule, but we may guide the men that do.

As Rhaenys observes, Alicent holds no power apart from what is willingly given to her by the men who actually wield it. Even if Alicent never misconstrued Viserys’ final words, episode 9 reveals the coup would have happened regardless. Leaving Alicent, again, another pawn in the games with only the faintest illusion of agency. In reality, Alicent’s mistake was just a happy accident for Otto’s existing plans.
