King Viserys appears as a gentle king. Everything becomes complicated after his wife, Aemma passed. The hand, Otto Hightower shows self-interest, using his daughter to get King’s attention. That’s all start. Employing and trusting someone with personal matters can ruin the entire kingdom. Always be mindful of the people around you. Do they have a distinctive desire? Only choose people who have pure-good intentions. It might not be easy. But we can be more meticulous about our circle.
2. Choose The Right Person.
The situation in house of the dragon is always complicated. The king was urged to have a new queen after the first queen’s death. The king was choosing Alicent the daughter of the hand. Since the beginning, Otto Hightower’s desire was to hold the throne. The important lesson is that we have to choose the right person even if the situation might be hard. Take time to clear your mind. So, we can think, is it the right person for me? Or I just have no choice.
3. Parenting with cruelty or compassion can make difference.
Queen Alicent Hightower and Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen have shown us the different types of parenting. Alicent shows cruelty and ambition in the way she raises her children. Differently, Rhaenyra shows compassion and explanation in the way of nurturing her heir. In the future, everything is going to be different. Someone with abusive nurture will tend to rule with terror.
4. Leadership with ambition but a lack of wisdom.
Do we need a strong-powerful leader or the wise one? The wise leader who can listen and solve our problems. King Viserys has shown gentle leadership more than ruling with power and blood. For generations, King Jacerys and Viserys can keep the realm in peace. Everything becomes chaos after the Hightower family brings their ambition to Westeros. Now, we can see how ambition takes us too far.
5. Not everything can be forced.
House of the dragon become complicated after King Viserys married Alicent Hightower. Even more complicated when Princess Rhaenyra married Laenor Velaryon who’s queer. Rhaenyra can’t have children from him and has an affair with Harwin Strong. Their children become a big problem for the realm. The lesson we can learn, sometimes can’t force everything. The marriage between Laenor and Rhaenyra is hurting both of them. Not only the parent but also the children. Some things we must let go of. Setting free someone who’s not meant to be.
6. Everything happens at the perfect time.
The sparks of romance between uncle and niece, Rhaenyra and Daemon Targaryen. It has happened since the beginning of their adolescence. Everything seems too complicated for them because Rhaenyra must fulfill her duty to marry Ser Laenor Valeryon. As time goes by, they get back together and then get married. If Rhaenyra marries his uncle at the beginning, there won’t be Velaryon allies. Everything happened for reason. Sometimes, we have to be patient.
