The Hightowers finally get what they wished for, but is their house still divided? We recap HouseOfTheDragon Episode 9:
The king is dead, long live the, um… Queen? King? Who knows? Take your pick! But choose carefully, because Lord Otto Hightower isn’t shaking hands with anyone not willing to swear fealty to his grandson, King Aegon II in this week's episode of House of the Dragon. As a matter of fact, depending on how you wish to express your discontentment with the Hightower’s choice of a monarch, you might even end up hanging from one of the Red Keep’s many walls.
What Alicent didn't know was that the small council already had their own plans to make sure that Aegon will sit on that throne. The only person not on board is the Master of Coin, Lord Lyman Beesbury , whose concerns are quickly silenced by Ser Criston’s winning argument of smashing the other party’s head on the council’s table. Classy as always, Ser Criston.
One thing is for certain: Aegon is somewhere enjoying the pleasures of King’s Landing. Aemond and Criston go looking for him in the town’s brothels, but come up short. Throughout their search, however, the second-born prince lets the Kingsguard in on a little secret, that he believes himself to be fitter to be king than his older brother. Meanwhile, the Cargylls’ investigation proves to be considerably more fruitful and reveals some interesting facts about Prince Aegon himself.
The White Worm sure seems to have a good hold on the royals of King’s Landing, perhaps just as good as Lord Varys . She even gets to bargain for the information she provides to the Lord Hand himself, stating that she will only reveal the prince’s whereabouts if the Crown puts an end to the child fights. Sadly, her reign might be nearing its end.
