“Your first task as a strategist ♟️ is to widen your concept of the enemy 🐍 , to include in that group those who are working against you, thwarting♟️you, even in subtle ways.” - Robert Greene, The 33 Strategies of War. ⚔️ Yeah, I think that all the stillbirths that Aemma had this whole time are really a result of poison. I sincerely hope the SI subtly finds proof of the conspiracy and flawlessly executes everyone that has been scheming to destabilize and destroy the House of the Dragon. 🐉
I can see a problem happening that concerns the plot aside Daemon(please make him part of the Blacks during the dance and one of Daeron children with the other girls can marry daemon daughter to form a alliance) the will I call it a plot hole? is that they can request for Daeron to heal the King of his illness (which I think is Tetanus) there by saving Viserys like he saved Aemma and I don't think the MC can refuse the orders of the King and he will have to consider Rhaenyra also he can't just let her father die right? am not saying you should save Viserys I honestly want him to die like in the show am just saying the problems Daeron could face soon
Well, Visery's POV is interesting and emotional for sure. You did it well! About Daemon's place in plot, it's still early to say. I think he could do what we did in canon, TV was too friendly sometimes for Blacks, after all he killed own wife without compunction... I see that he would be some kind of jocker for this book, who would be do chaotic things and provoke conflicts. Real Daemon from the book Succession disputes will only grow in time and with Dorne's support for Rhaenyra, a lot of lords would feel themselves angry because how I'd woman and dornish spawn would sit on the throne Aemma's reaction were much calmer and pieceful, I thought it would be new Doom at least 😅 We'll see what would be in future!
The only unusual thing I found in this chapter is that one moment the king accuses otto of dragging his brother in the mud and the next moment got angry at his brother by listening to the same otto . Why didn't he think that otto was trying to ruin his relationship with his brother ? He should have thought of it after going through this same song and dance all these years . Also , good point with the velaryons . I forgot that with the marriage alliance they will support the mc's side . Another theory from another ff is that the results of the first great council which was 20 to 1 was false and done by maesters who hated women in power .
