A HouseOfTheDragon writer breaks down Alicent Hightower's true initial feelings about the prospect of making her son Aegon the next king: 'She was genuinely ready to let it go.'
Spoilers for House of the Dragon episode 9 below!House of the Dragon writer Sara Hess explains Alicent Hightower's true feelings about making her son, Aegon II Targaryen, king. The prequel series is set nearly 200 years before the events of HBO's Game of Thrones and centers on House Targaryen as it tears itself apart following King Viserys I Targaryen's decision to appoint his daughter Rhaenyra as heir to the Iron Throne.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY The end of House of the Dragon episode 8 finds Viserys hosting a dinner for his entire family with both Alicent and Rhaenyra toasting each other in a gesture of friendship. The two seem genuinely keen on resolving their differences and remaining amicable toward each other in the future. Later in the evening, Alicent visits Viserys as he nears death, and finds him rambling about Aegon the Conqueror's prophecy.
I know what my feeling is, and I later talked to Olivia about it and she had the same feeling: When she misunderstood him and hears him saying “I want Aegon to be king” — which is not what he’s saying, but what she sincerely understands him to be saying — that her thought at the moment was, “Oh, fucking Christ.” She was genuinely ready to let it go. She was like: “You know what? Rhaenyra is going to be the queen. It’s fine. I’m tired of being angry all the time. I’m done. This is the end.
Aegon Would Have Been King Even Without Alicent's Support Based on Hess' comments, Alicent truly wants peace within the family, and likely reconciliation with Rhaenyra as well. This is illustrated in Alicent's reluctant response to Otto enacting a well-planned scheme in episode 9 to root out Rhaenyra's supporters and place Aegon on the Iron Throne as quickly as possible.
However, even if Alicent's annoyance continued, the plot to make Aegon king would've moved forward anyway. During the Small Council meeting, Otto reveals that a portion of the group already had plans developed to usurp the throne. Otto's machinations were so meticulously thought out that nothing would have stood in his way to achieve the highest power in the Seven Kingdoms.
