Princess Rhaenyra:
There you are.

The Sea Snake
is going to die,
isn't he?

-Luke--
-I can't be Lord of the Tides.

Grandsire was
the greatest sailor
who ever lived.

I get greensick
before the ship

even leaves the harbor.

I'll just ruin everything.

I don't want Driftmark.

It should've passed on
to Ser Vaemond.

We don't choose
our destiny, Luke.
It chooses us.

Grandsire let you choose
whether you'd be his heir.

You told us so.

And do you want
to know the truth of it?

I was frightened.

I was... four-and-ten.

Same as you are now.

I wasn't ready

to be Queen
of the Seven Kingdoms.

But... it was my duty.

And, in time,
I came to understand

I had to earn
my inheritance.

I'm not like you.

-In what way, sweet boy?
-I'm not so...

perfect.

(kisses)

-I am anything but.
-(footsteps approach)

My father looked after me

and helped to prepare me
for my duties.

Your mother will do
the same for you.

Lorent Marbrand:
Good morrow, Princess.

Good morrow, Ser Lorent.

Princess Rhaenys has
just arrived on dragonback.

She urgently requests
an audience with you
and Prince Daemon.

(door opens)

The Princess Rhaenys Targaryen.

Thank you, Ser Lorent.

Princess Rhaenys...

might we hope for news
of Lord Corlys's recovery?

Viserys is dead.

♪ ♪

I grieve this loss with you,
Rhaenyra.

My cousin, your father...

possessed a kind heart.

There is more.

Aegon has been crowned
as his successor.

(whimpers)

They crowned him?

How did Viserys die?

I could not say.

-How long ago?
-A day past, perhaps two.

I was made a prisoner
in my quarters

while the Queen
made her preparations.

Viserys has been slain.

Alicent demanded
you declare for Aegon.

She did.

-I refused her.
-And yet you are alive.

The High Septon crowned Aegon
in the Dragonpit.

I witnessed it myself
just before I fled on Meleys.

They crowned him
before the masses.

Princess Rhaenys:
So that the masses would see
him as their rightful king.

That whore of a Queen
murdered my brother
and stole his throne.

And you could have
burned them all for it.

A war is like to be fought
over this treachery, to be sure.

Mm.

But that war is
not mine to begin.

I only rushed
this warning to you

out of loyalty
to my husband
and to my house.

The Greens are coming
for you, Rhaenyra.

And for your children.

You should leave
Dragonstone at once.

(tense music playing)

(whimpers, gasps)

The babe is coming.

(breathing heavily)

(Rhaenyra groaning)

Her term is far
from complete.

This should not
be happening.

It is fucking happening.

Older Midwife:
Keep your head about you,
Princess. Come.

Elinda:
We've done this
five times before.

Keep your spirit,
and the sixth
will be no different.

Get off, get off,
get off, get off!

Ow, ow, ow. (gasps)

I want patrols along
the island's perimeter,

looking for any small ships
that might set ashore.

If the Greens attack now,
it will be by stealth...

-(Rhaenyra groaning)
-...not directly.

We don't have enough men
to surround the island,

but we can make ourselves
appear stronger than they are.

(Rhaenyra screaming)

Conscript the Dragonkeepers.
They're capable fighters.

-Waste no time.
-It will be done, my Prince.

(Rhaenyra screaming)

-(grunting)
-(swords clanging)

-What was that?
-(grunts) I'm sorry.

You might go easier

on him, my Prince,

so he can learn what
you're trying to teach.

Rhaenys:
Your lady mother
needs to see you!

Both of you.

-(gasps)
-Prince Jacaerys: Mother?

(Rhaenyra groaning)

Rhaenyra: Fuck.

Maester Gerardys:
Princess.

Your grandsire,
King Viserys, has passed.

V-Viserys?

The Greens
have repudiated
the succession

and claimed the Iron Throne.

Aegon has been crowned king.

-What is to be done about it?
-Nothing yet.

-And where is Daemon?
-Rhaenyra: I don't know.

Gone to madness.

Gone to plot his war.

-Jacaerys:
Leave Daemon with me.
-Rhaenyra: Jace.

Jacaerys.

Whatever claim remains to me,
you are now its heir.

Naught is to be done
but by my command.

(groaning)

Bartimos Celtigar:
A raven flew in this morning.

The Sea Snake's
fever has broken,

and he has left Evenfall.

-Where is he sailing?
-That much is unclear,
my Prince.

We'll send ravens
to our nearest allies:

Lords Darklyn, Massey...

-and Bar Emmon.
-Rhaenyra: (shouts) Daemon!

Do you want to speak
to the maester, my Prince?

I'll fly to
the Riverlands myself

and affirm
Lord Tully's support.

You will do no such thing.

My mother has decreed
no action be taken
while she's abed.

It's good you're here,
young Prince.

You're needed to patrol
the skies on Vermax.

Did you hear what I said?

(Rhaenyra screaming)

The ravens, Lord Bartimos.

I shall see it done.

Summon Ser Steffon.

Our Kingsguard are needed
on the Dragonmont.

Come with me.
I'll show you the true
meaning of loyalty.

You swore an oath
as knights of the Kingsguard.

As do all who wear
the white cloak, my Prince.

To whom?

I swore first
to King Jaehaerys,
my Prince.

And then to His Grace,

King Viserys,
when he succeeded him.

Do you acknowledge
the true line of succession?

-Yes.
-Yes, my Prince.

Do you recall...

Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen,
First of Her Name,

Queen of the Andals

and the First Men.

Lady of the Seven Kingdoms
and Protector of the Realm.

Your Grace.

Wine, my Queen.

Thank you, Rhaena.

Come.

-What is our standing?
-Daemon: We have 30 knights,

a hundred crossbowmen,
and 300 men-at-arms.

Dragonstone is
relatively easy to defend,

but as an instrument
of conquest,

our army leaves
a lot to be desired.

We have sent word
to my loyal men
in the City Watch.

I'll have some support there,

but I cannot speak
to the numbers.

We already have declarations
from Celtigar and Staunton,

Massey, Darklyn, Bar Emmon.

My lady mother was an Arryn.

The Vale will not
turn cloak against
their own kin.

Riverrun was
always a close friend

to your father,
Your Grace.

With Prince Daemon's
acquiescence,

I've already sent ravens
to Lord Grover.

Lord Grover is fickle
and easily swayed.

He will need to be convinced
of the strength of our position

and that we will support him
should it come to war.

I'm going to treat
with him myself.

Steffon Darklyn:
What of Storm's End
and Winterfell?

Bartimos:
There has never lived
a Stark who forgot an oath.

And with House Stark,
the North will follow.

Lord Borros Baratheon
will need to be reminded
of his father's promises.

What news from Driftmark?

Lord Corlys sails
for Dragonstone.

To declare for his Queen.

The Velaryon fleet is
in my husband's yoke.

He decides where they sail.

Rhaenyra:
We shall pray for both you
and your husband's support.

Just as we prayed nightly
for the Sea Snake's
return to good health.

There's no port
on the Narrow Sea
would dare to make

an enemy
of the Velaryon fleet.

-And our enemies?
-We have no friends
among the Lannisters.

Tyland has served the Hand
too long to turn against him.

And Otto Hightower
needs the Lannister fleet.

Without the Lannisters,
we are not like to find

-any allies west
of the Golden Tooth.
-Daemon: No.

The Riverlands
are essential,
Your Grace.

Pray forgive my bluntness,
Your Grace,

but talk of men is moot.

Your cause owns a power

that has not been
seen in this world

since the days of Old Valyria.

Dragons.

The Greens have dragons as well.

Daemon:
They have three adults,
by my count.

We have Syrax,
Caraxes, and Meleys.

Your sons have Vermax,
Arrax, and Tyraxes.

Baela has Moondancer.

Daemon, none of our dragons
have been to war.

There are also
unclaimed dragons.

Seasmoke still
resides on Driftmark.

Vermithor and Silverwing
dwell on the Dragonmont,

still riderless.

Then there are
the three wild dragons,
all of whom nest here.

Rhaenyra:
And who is to ride them?

Daemon:
Dragonstone has 13 to their 4.

I also have a score
of eggs incubating
in the Dragonmont.

Now... we need
a place to gather,

a toehold large enough
to house a sizable host.

Here, at Harrenhal.
We cut off the west,

surround King's Landing
with the dragons.

And we could have
every Green head
mounted on spikes

before the fucking
moon turns.

Your Grace...

a ship has been
sighted offshore:

a lone galleon,
flying a banner

of a three-headed
green dragon.

Alert the watchtowers.

I come at the behest
of the Dowager Queen Alicent,

mother of King Aegon,
Second of His Name,

Lord and Protector

to deliver her message

only to Princess Rhaenyra.

Where is the Princess?

(Syrax screeches)

(roars)

(screeches)

(roaring)

(bellows)

Princess Rhaenyra.

I'm Queen Rhaenyra now.

And you all are
traitors to the realm.

King Aegon Targaryen,
Second of His Name...

in his wisdom
and desire for peace,

is offering terms.

Acknowledge Aegon as king

and swear obeisance
before the Iron Throne.

In exchange,
His Grace will confirm

your possession
of Dragonstone.

It will pass
to your trueborn son,

Jacaerys, upon your death.

Lucerys will be confirmed

as the legitimate
heir to Driftmark

and all the lands
and holdings
of House Velaryon.

Your sons
by Prince Daemon

will also be given places
of high honor at court:

Aegon the Younger
as the King's squire,

Viserys as his cupbearer.

Finally, the King,
in his good grace,

will pardon any knight or lord

who conspired
against his ascent.

I would rather feed
my sons to the dragons

than have them
carry shields and cups

for your drunken,
usurper cunt of a king.

Aegon Targaryen
sits the Iron Throne.

He wears
the Conqueror's crown,

wields the Conqueror's sword,

has the Conqueror's name.

He was anointed
by a septon of the Faith

before the eyes of thousands.

Every symbol of legitimacy
belongs to him.

And then there is Stark,
Tully, Baratheon.

Houses that have also received,

and are at present,

considering generous terms
from their king.

Stark, Tully, and Baratheon
all swore to me

when King Viserys
named me his heir.

Stale oaths will not put
you on the Iron Throne,
Princess.

The succession changed the day
your father sired a son.

I only regret that you
and he were the last
to see the truth of it.

You are no more Hand
than Aegon is king.

Fucking traitor.

Grand Maester.

What the fuck is this?

Otto Hightower:
Queen Alicent has
not forgotten the love

you once had for each other.

No blood need be spilled,

so the realm can
carry on in peace.

Queen Alicent
eagerly awaits your answer.

She can have her answer now,
stuffed in her father's mouth

along with his withered cock.

Let's end this
mummer's farce.

Ser Erryk,
bring me Lord Hightower

so I may take
the pleasure myself.

King's Landing will have
my answer on the morrow.

Daemon:
It's no easy thing for a man
to be a dragonslayer.

But dragons can kill dragons.
And have.

The simple truth is this:
we have more dragons than Aegon.

Viserys spoke often
of the Valyrian histories.

I know them well.

When dragons flew to war...

everything burned.

I do not wish to rule
over a kingdom of ash
and bone.

Are you considering
the Hightowers' terms,
Your Grace?

As Queen,
what is my true duty

to the realm,
Lord Bartimos?

Ensuring peace and unity?

Or that I sit the Iron Throne,
no matter the cost?

-That's your father talking.
-My father's dead.

And he chose me
as his successor...

to defend the realm,
not cast it headlong into war.

Well, the enemy
have declared war.

What are you
gonna do about it?

Clear the room.

Does the promise
of war excite you?

You cannot bend the knee
to the Hightowers.

They stole your birthright.

If you could take
the Iron Throne

without putting
Otto Hightower's
head on a spike,

-would you?
-Are you not angry?

-I should declare war
because I'm angry?
-No.

Because it's your duty
as Queen to crush rebellion.

You know my oath

reaches beyond
our personal ambitions.

A Song of Ice and Fire.

What?

The coming war against
the darkness in the North,

The Conqueror's Dream.

Viserys shared it with me
when he named me heir.

(struggles to breathe)

My brother...
was a slave to his
omens and portents.

Anything to make
his feckless reign

Heedless ambition
has always been
a Velaryon weakness.

And for nothing.

Our pursuit
of the Iron Throne...
is at an end.

We shall declare for no one.

We will retire to High Tide

to be content...

with our grandchildren and--

Jace, Luke, and Joff are
claimants to the throne.

Those boys'll not be safe
so long as Aegon is king.

Rhaenyra was complicit
in our son's death.

That girl destroys
everything she touches.

That "girl"...

is holding the realm
together at present.

Every man standing
'round the Painted Table

urges her to plunge
the realm into war.

Rhaenyra's the only one
who's demonstrated restraint.

Bartimos:
The purpose of war
is to fill graveyards,

my dear Lord Staunton.

The trick is to put
more of their men

in the ground
than your own.

Easy words for a lord
who commands

-from the safety of his castle.
-Doesn't make it any less true.

Erryk:
The Lord of the Tides!

Lord Corlys Velaryon...

and his wife,
the Princess Rhaenys Targaryen.

My lords.

Rhaenyra: Lord Corlys.

It brings much relief
to see you hale
and healthy again.

I'm very sorry
about your father,
Princess.

He was a good man.

Where is Daemon?

There were other
concerns which demanded
the Prince's attention.

Mm.

Your declared allies?

-Yes.
-Too few to win a war
for the throne.

Well, we would
also hope to have
the support

-of Houses Arryn,
Baratheon, and Stark.
-Corlys: Hope...

is the fool's ally.

Both Arryn and Baratheon
share blood with my house.

But all of them
swore oaths to me.

As did House Hightower...

if I remember.

As did you, Lord Corlys.

Your father's realm...

was one of justice
and honor.

Our houses are bound
by common blood

and common cause.

This Hightower treason
cannot stand.

for the support of the North.

Prince Lucerys will fly
south to Storm's End
