**Warning – Spoilers ahead for House of the Dragon**

Just when we thought House Targaryen, Velaryon, and Hightower were making amends, King Viserys dropped a prophecy bomb on Alicent’s shoulders that promised a civil war next week. We look ahead to preview Episode 9 of House of the Dragon and confirm the date and time of its release.

Episode 8, titled The Lord of the Tides, saw the throne of Driftmark up for grabs after Lord Corlys suffered a grave blow. Rhaenyra’s son Lucerys was the rightful heir, however, Lord Corlys’ brother, Vaemond, wanted the heir of Driftmark to be of Velaryon blood, airing the common thought that Rhaenyra’s son was Ser Harwin Strong’s bastard.

Created by George R. R. Martin and Ryan J. Condal for HBO, House of the Dragon will serve as a prequel to Game of Thrones starring Paddy Considine, Emma D’Arcy, Matt Smith, Olivia Cooke, and more, following the beginning of the end for House Targaryen including the family’s war known as the Dance of Dragons.

Episode 9 Preview – The Green Council

During the closing moments of this week’s entry, we see a dying Viserys tell Alicent of The Prince That Was Promised prophecy, claiming their son Aegon is the rightful heir to the throne instead of his daughter Rhaenyra.

The trailer for Episode 9 suggests Alicent upholds the King’s wishes after his death and puts in motion for Aegon to be King, which will cause a civil war between the Hightowers, Targaryens, and Velaryons once again.

Furthermore, the King’s Hand, Otto Hightower, is putting his own plan in motion to uncover a secret against Rhaenyra, which is perhaps a ploy to get the people on the side of Aegon being King.
