Part 6/9:
As alliances were tested, the political landscape shifted dramatically with the death of Viserys. Otto, the counsel’s manipulative hand, aimed to secure the throne for Aegon, Viserys's son with Alicent, despite Rena's claim. Yet, the seeds of dissent had been sown. Rena, now crowned Queen, stood defiant against the encroaching shadows of manipulation threatening her lineage.

Otto's aspirations to solidify Aegon’s position culminated in a series of skirmishes, leaving Rena with little choice but to prepare for war.
