The thing is, Alicent can’t stop anything. She’s never had that power, and it’s a sign of both Rhaenyra & Rhaenys’ failure to recognise that, as dragonriders and Queens/Princesses of the Blood, they have more power than any other woman can hope to wield in this world. Even Alicent’s misunderstanding of Viserys’ last words was just used as justification by Otto for a plot he and the high council had already been planning for years. It was never about the king’s wishes for them. It was about not wishing to be ruled by a woman. If Alicent stood against them, she would simply be imprisoned in her own chambers.
He made his way to the top

Wait till episode 4 😢😢
Aegon doesn’t have a male heir now so if he were to die Aemond will be the next King.
