Princess Rhaenyra's virtue is brought into question after she's spotted in a brothel with her dear uncle -- but what really happened? (via toofab)
With Alicent having already given birth to a male heir to the throne, Otto Hightower was hoping that Viserys would go ahead and name the baby Ageon as his new heir. Three years later, he's still standing by Rhaenyra. Even though the likelihood of him ascending to the throne himself is slim in any scenario, Otto desperately wants a direct link to the throne.
As Rhaenyra escaped the bowels of the pleasure house, we saw someone following her. That someone turned out to be one of Otto's spies. He's been keeping tabs on the princess for just such an opportunity. If Viserys won't remove her as heir, maybe he can be made to believe he must. The word that he brings to the king, though, is not entirely accurate. He may be jumping ahead himself here, or his informant did, but Otto's message was that Daemon and Rhaenyra were seen"coupling" in the pleasure house. They were kissing and groping and dropping trou', but it never got quite that far.
What Viserys finally sees is the ambition of his Hand, dating back to when Otto first took the position. He now sees not only that the Hand has been spying on Rhaenyra in an attempt to get her removed as heir for his grandson, but he also deduces that even Alicent was a plant by Otto to create an heir from his line in the first place.
It's a few years too late, but Viserys' eyes are fully open to the Machiavellian moves happening all around him as people vie for his throne. The moral of the story in Westeros is never trust anyone unless they're trying to kill you. At least that's probably honest.
