Part 2/9:
Viserys, newly deemed heir, faced immediate challenges as council members discussed pressing issues, including threats from the Triarchy alliance. While he hoped for stability, his brother, Demon, known for his disregard of council meetings, enforced brutal laws to maintain order — a method criticized by many but thought necessary by Demon himself.
