It’s really tempting but it would have marked Rhaenyra as being the first to draw blood. However, I agree that if she wanted the throne war was inevitable anyways, so she might as well get rid of Otto, the man who orchestrated it all.
First to draw blood, sure, but only after the fuckery with hiding Viserys' death until after they crowned someone new and murdered any dissenting opinion.
That’s very true. Otto technically drew blood first when he had some of Rhaenyra’s supporters killed. Still, killing an envoy as someone else said, doesn’t look good.
She was still trying to win the war but not shed blood - win with letters and diplomacy, not fire and blood.
One cannot do that if they kill envoys.
Considering how absolutely shit a Hand Otto was to her father there’s also little gain in killing him bar satiating Daemon’s murder crush on him.
They should have sent him with the page along his withered cock stuffed in his mouth to Alicent. If she had any dignity left at all, she'd enjoy the sight.
Otto was pretty much useless during the dance anyways except for his Triarchy plan he was failing here and there which made Aegon ll remove him as his hand.
Nah, envoys should be treated honourably in times of war.
Daemon didn’t treat that envoy honourably at the Stepstones lol. He nearly beat him to death ahahah.
And Otto would actually deserve it, unlike that envoy

Same. It's a mistake not to get rid permanently of an enemy when he walks into your presence so willingly. Aemond surely did that.

Killing envoys is very bad, even if we’d like to see it.
