   Summary

   King Viserys was ready to decline the marriage offer made by Corlys Velaryon, but his opinion changed, and so did the future of Westeros.

   Alongside that, Daemon Targaryen is forced to marry Alicent Hightower, the daughter of his most hated enemy, after his despised marriage was considered invalid by the High Septon under a request of the King.

   With his decisions, Viserys wanted to end the conflicts inside his realm and inside his small council, but things are never that simple.

   And so, in a few decisions, the future is changed and the green is replaced by the red.
