'House of the Dragon' Episode 9: Alicent and the Prophecy Explained

'House of the Dragon' Episode 9: Alicent and the Prophecy Explained

it depends on how you use it.

Despite rumors that the former couple's baby boy is due any day, the 31-year-old NBA star shocked the world yet again with his decision to hit a club, called Bonbonniere, more than 6,700 miles away from the Keeping Up with the Kardashians alum, 38, and their four-year-old daughter True.

She's hoping to get some answers about their mysterious family secret before it's too late. She visits her father, Viserys, one night, knowing he's probably going to die soon. What does Rhaenyra ask Viserys in episode 8? Rhaenyra has a brood of children and a new husband in Daemon, her uncle. It's 20 years on from the events of House of the Dragon, episode 1, and a lot has happened.

During his night out, the professional athlete looked like he didn't have a care in the world as he seemingly smoked hookah and mingled with a group of friends as well as some young ladies that hung on to the dad-of-three's every word.

Viserys shakes his head -- he's of course referring to Aegon the Conquerer. The Prince That Was Promised." The Prince is a reference to the inscription on Aegon the Conquerer's dagger: "From my blood come the Prince That Was Promised and his will be the Song of Ice and Fire." What he saw in the North. The Song of Ice and Fi -- It is true.

He doesn't finish the sentence but goes on to speak about how there have been many dragon riders in his line, a few of whom have been dreamers, aka prophets. He then describes what he himself has dreamed:

Tristan Thompson was see partying into the wee hours with multiple women while vacationing in Mykonos, Greece ahead of the 'imminent' birth of his second child with his ex-girlfriend Khloe Kardashian via surrogate on Friday.

Tabia Lee began working at De Anza College, located just outside of San Jose, in August 2021. Since then, she has objected being forced to join a 'socialist network' and had to fight to bring a 'Jewish inclusion' event to the school, according

"It is the truth, uttered with his own lips, his last words to me and I was the only one to hear it. "I saw him last night, before he … he told me he wished for Aegon to be king," Alicent tells her father Otto Hightower, the Hand of the King.

Rhaenyra reads the inscription, visible when the blade is heated in fire: "From my blood come the Prince That Was Promised and his will be the Song of Ice and Fire." Who's the Prince That Was Promised? In episode 4 of House of the Dragon, Viserys says that, before Aegon's death, the last of the Valyrian pyromancers hid "his song" in the steel.

Becoming a dragonrider, Jon helps defeat the Night King in the Battle of Winterfell, the White Walkers becoming extinct for good. As we discover in Game of Thrones, the Prince That Was Promised is Jon Snow. Jon helps fulfil Aegon the Conquerer's dream by making an alliance with Daenerys Targaryen against the White Walkers. Jon's true name and royal lineage -- his parents are Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen -- are hidden to protect him from those seeking to annihilate all Targaryens.

And naming her heir would begin to set things right ... I never imagined I would remarry... "I thought Rhaenyra was the way out of my abyss of grief and regret. that I would have a son.

He was the founder of the Targaryens' ruling dynasty over Westeros but, as his prophecy reveals, he also wanted to unify the land against a common enemy. Aegon refers to Aegon the Conqueror, the first Lord of the Seven Kingdoms in Westeros. His prophecy isn't to be dismissed, because before him a Targaryen, Daenys the Dreamer, had a correct prophetic dream of Valyria's destruction by fire.  And 12 years later, Valyria -- the capital of the Valyrian Freehold, a large civilization in Essos ruled by dragonriders -- was indeed destroyed by an unexplained cataclysm.

In the final season, Arya kills the Night King using Aegon's dagger, preventing the undead from "erasing the world" as Bran explains in season 7 on the Night King's motivations. In Game of Thrones, the dagger was first used in an assassination attempt on Bran Stark (an assassin is known as a "catspaw").

Let's break down what Viserys says: What exactly is the prophecy (part 1)? All the way back in episode 1, King Viserys passes a family secret onto his daughter Princess Rhaenyra -- a doomsday prophecy telling of the end of men.

This comes after several outlets claimed that she has no interest in getting back together with the love rat, who has cheated on her several times, most recently last year when he impregnated Maralee Nichols.

Really she should take into account all of Viserys' words, instead of hearing what best suits her family over at House Hightower. Episode 9 of House of the Dragon validated our worst fears about Queen Alicent. Sadly, Alicent believes King Viserys' dying wish was to have their son Prince Aegon succeed the throne.

Episode 9 confirms that Alicent believes Viserys is asking her, his wife, to ensure their firstborn Prince Aegon inherits the Iron Throne -- over the named heir Princess Rhaenyra. This isn't the case, though: Viserys thought he was talking to Rhaenyra. It sounds like Viserys is telling Alicent she is "the one" to ensure this will happen; that the "Prince That Was Promised" comes from her line. What will Alicent do with the prophecy?
