@goateditsr2: one of the most beautiful things a father can do | viserys & rhaenyra targaryen | -song: formidable instrumental -insta: @goatedits® & snxz_edit viserys did not simply name Rhaenyra his heir — he stood by that decision for years. After the death of his first wife, he chose his daughter as the Princess of Dragonstone and made the realm swear loyalty to her. Even when others questioned her claim, Viserys continued to defend Rhaenyra, refusing to let anyone erase the succession he had established. Until his final days, the crown he wore was meant to pass to his daughter. But while Viserys tried to preserve peace within his family, Otto Hightower and Alicent Hightower helped create a division that would eventually tear the realm apart. Otto never accepted Rhaenyra's position as the future queen, while Alicent's belief that her son Aegon should inherit the throne became the heart of the Green cause. After Viserys' death, the decision he had defended for decades was overturned in a single night — Aegon was crowned while Rhaenyra was still the named heir. And that was where the Dance of the Dragons truly began. A family divided, a kingdom split in two, and House Targaryen turning its greatest strength — its dragons — against itself. Viserys spent his reign trying to keep his family together, but the struggle over his succession became the very thing that brought the Targaryen dynasty to its knees. The tragedy was not that Viserys never chose an heir. **The tragedy was that the realm chose to betray the heir he had already chosen. He defended her until his last breath. They fought her after his. 🖤 From House of the Dragon — The Dance of the Dragons #houseofthedragon #rhaenyratargaryen #viserystargaryenedit #emmadarcy #fyp
