House of the Dragon kicked off one of the saddest storylines in Game of Thrones history

*Warning: Contains spoilers for House of the Dragon*

If the show stays true to the books thenHouse of the Dragonhas just got the ball rolling on one of the saddest storylines in the history ofGame of Thrones.

Played by real life twins Elliott and Luke Tittensor, they've been in the background of episodes before, but in fresh episode 'The Green Council' we got a proper introduction to the knightly brothers.

Tasked with searching for Targaryen prince Aegon, who has gone missing in the aftermath of his father's death, the brothers set out on a search that changes their fate forever.

Given how terrible Aegon (Tom Glynn-Carney) is, the only happy ending to this story would have been if they'd never found him at all, but sadly the prince – who definitely wasn't promised – did eventually turn up.

但是，埃里克（Erryk）的搜索使他面对面，酿造的腐败和力量在红色海军上工作，他不喜欢他所看到的。

While the Kingsguard are meant to be loyal to their King, the big questionHouse of the Dragonseems to be building up to is who is going to sit on the Iron Throne.

Alicent then decides to push forward with putting Aegon on the Iron Throne, which is probably one of the worst decisions of all time.

With Westeros split and proclaiming different Targaryens as the rightful heir to Viserys, an absolutely massive civil war is brewing between the Greens and Blacks.

It's only a matter of time before things spill into all out conflict and the twins sadly end up on different sides – it's literally brother against brother.

In George R.R. Martin's books the brothers come to a sad end as they face each other in battle and end up killing one another, dying together in a war

That's great news for fans of the show as it's more of what they love, but it gives the showrunners the chance to really drag out the tragedy of the plotlines.
