- Alicent understands nothing.
- The king is dead. Long live the Queen…we all know that won’t happen.
- Who is this child?
- Who found him first, I wonder. The child?
- HE DIDN’T SAY THAT ALICENT.
- I SWEAR.
- How convenient for you. No witnesses.
- Oh, Tayla is sending a message with the candles that the king is dead.
- Viserys the Peaceful. More like Viserys the Stand Back and Watcher.
- HE DIDN’T
- AHHHHHH
- And no one finds is suspicious that the king, who was adamant that Rhaenyra take the throne, would change his mind at the last second.
- This lord is the only one with a brain at this table.
- WHAT THE….
- Criston really just killed the only person there with any integrity.
- Criston is a murdering fiend at this point. He’s even willing to fight his commander.
- Oh, lovely. Let’s just sit with this dead body at the table as his blood slowly seeps across it.
- I mean, Criston just killed someone and none of you really batted an eye.
- SEND HIM TO THE WALL ANYWAY
- Go Lord Commander! Someone else has a brain there.
- And they let him leave? Even though he knows everything?
- Aegon is probably out at a brothel.
- Also, Helaena is the one with a brain too.
- What beast beneath the boards?
- WHAT BEAST?
- Why do the knights listen to Otto over the Queen?
- They really locked Rhaenys in?
- And all the servants who know about the king’s death are locked up too. And yet no one finds that suspicious?
- Criston literally killed someone earlier. And yet you still trust him?
- Aegon is a prick.
- And Aemond is in his imposter cloak, like Daemon’s.
- So, where is Aegon hiding out?
- And if you don’t pledge, then you get locked up.
- And again, none of the other lords find that concerning?
- Does that girl work for Mysaria?
- I’m sorry. Is this a child fighting pit?
- Aegon’s kid is there, watching the damn fighting pits. And they want him as king?
- Oh, I sense some animosity amongst the multiple sets of brothers.
- Oh, lots of trouble here.
- Yep, she works for Mysaria.
- Ruling through fear. Doing great, Otto.
- What does Larys really want?
- So, Alicent really did care for Viserys.
- Alicent really thinks Rhaenys will switch sides. After she was not allowed to take the throne she was in line for.
- DOWN WITH THE PATRIARCHY
- Oh, Otto came out of the castle.
- Mysaria knows all.
- YES MYSARIA
- End the child fighting.
- Otto, looking is not doing.
- Honestly, the women in this show actually run things. The men just make a mess.
- Aegon really doesn’t want to be king. Forcing him on the throne won’t make things better for anyone.
- Look at the King’s Guard already fighting each other. And it’s not even at Rhaenyra’s request.
- At least Aegon knows he isn’t suited for the throne.
- Aemond thought about it.
- Can’t Aegon just say he doesn’t want the throne? He has to accept being king but he can just, not.
- Finally, Alicent is trying to act like a queen.
- And Aegon is trying to run away, again, probably.
- I would not expect Otto to listen to Alicent. I’m sure he has other plots going on.
- Why did Alicent take off her shoes?
- Larys is staring at her feet and I’m very distrubed.
- Larys wants to get rid of Mysaria so he can be the leader of the spies.
- JESUS
- Is this their deal? I hate it.
- Yeah, Aegon looks thrilled to be king.
- I wonder how Rhaenys gets out of King’s Landing.
- Oh, Sir Erryk is getting her out. Good for him.
- And there’s Lord Caswell, who was trying to honor his oath.
- What about her dragon?
- Shouldn’t he take off his white cloak? He stands out.
- Yeah, Aegon doesn’t believe a word of this.
- You imbecile. A term of endearment.
- The people of King’s Landing won’t like all this pushing by the knights.
- There is no way all the people can hear Otto talking.
- Imagine if Aegon was taller. He could have been hit by those swords.
- Is Rhaenys going to the dragonpit? Because this is the perfect time to do so.
- Damn, Helaena was not ready to bend the knee to Aegon. And we kow Aemond doesn’t want to.
- The people would cheer for anyone to be crowned, I feel like.
- Crap. Now Aegon likes having power. This won’t go well.
- YES RHAENYS
- That is how you make a dramatic exit.
- Wait. They crowned him at the dragonpit and didn’t expect issues with dragons. Geniuses.
- Rhaenys really said mic drop.
- Alicent, I’m pretty sure anything you say to Rhaenys won’t make a diffference.
- You know, Helaena was right. There was a beast beneath the boards.
- Did Alicent really think Rhaenys was going to dracarys them? I mean, she should have. It would save a lot of trouble later.
