House of The Dragon Episode 9 preview sees the rise of a usurper

Game of Thrones prequel House of The Dragon is steadily moving towards its finale, with episode 8 premiering earlier today. It was the biggest episode of the series by far, at least in season 1, both in terms of the runtime and the impact it had on the storyline. A lot happened in the most recent chapter of the TV adaptation of George R. R. Martin’s work, from all the characters growing up to their final form that will continue till the end of the series to King Viserys finally dying and in turn giving way to the fated civil war. The preview to episode 9 is here, and things are not looking too good in Westeros.

The preview shows the aftermath of King Viserys’ death. The general populous is in utter confusion as supporters of Rhaenyra, Viserys’ original heir, are either locked up or worse. Queen Alicent is planning the rise of the Greens, with Criston Cole and Larys Strong by her side, unbeknownst to Rhaenyra who is at Dragonstone and with child. Then we finally see the rise of the usurper king, Aegon II, with his sister Helaena as his queen.
