I mislike straight-up counseling Viserys against marrying Alicent, for two reasons. First, it's not at all clear that she's been mooted to the King as an option, and if she hasn't I don't want to be the one to put the idea in his head even if our stated position is against the match. Second, why did we bother researching alternatives if we weren't going to propose one?
Because the ones we found all suck. Well, that happens.
But if our aim is to prevent a marriage with Alicent, and if our relations with our father are broadly positive... well, then why beat around the bush, and not just say what it is that we want? If we don't propose any specific option, but just that it not be that one option... then I think Viserys would take heed.
And I am pretty sure Otto will bring up Alicent himself regardless.
