Things are about to get messy in Westeros tonight when House of the Dragon Episode 9, “The Green Council,” premieres on HBO. If you caught last week’s episode, you know that King Viserys (Paddy Considine) is now dead and the next person in line will have to have their coronation to become the next king or queen. But will Viserys’ named heir Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy) sit the Iron Throne, or will it be Viserys and Alicent’s (Olivia Cooke) firstborn son Aegon (Tom Glynn-Carney)?
I’m certainly rooting for Rhaenyra to become the queen just as Viserys wanted, but with that misinterpreted conversation that occurred just before the king died in Episode 8, the line of succession is now not as clear. To Alicent, at least, and anyone she tells. Can Rhaenyra and her family ever have peace? Probably not with the Hightowers around.
Check out the trailer for House of the Dragon Episode 9 below while we wait for it to premiere tonight:

Anyone else notice that Rhaenyra and Daemon (Matt Smith) are nowhere to be found in the Episode 9 preview? I don’t like that! I’ll be rooting for team black all the way in tonight’s episode which, as the title suggests, will definitely focus on the greens.
