Princess Rhaenys:
It's been near six years

since I last saw
my lord husband, Maester.

I must know... will he live?

Maester Kelvyn:
He led his sailors
into an ambush.

A ship made to look
as if it were abandoned.

In the fighting,
his neck was slashed
by a corsair's dagger.

He fell overboard into the sea.

The wound was severe.

Much blood was lost.

But the greater concern
is the fever that followed.

The ship's maester said
he burns from within.

(seabirds calling)

The ravens came in from?

Kelvyn:
Evenfall, Princess.

So they arrive in three days.

Let all be made ready
to receive him, Maester Kelvyn.

The Sea Snake is strong.

Vaemond Velaryon:
No doubt.

And yet, I have seen
blood fever overcome
men half his age.

I will not suffer the talk
of crows in my house,
Vaemond.

I love my brother...

but we must be honest
with ourselves.

We may greet his ship
to find him gone.

And who will take
the Driftwood Throne?

My grandmother seems
quite comfortable here.

She presides
only in the absence
of her husband.

On his death, the seat passes.

To Lucerys Velaryon.

As is my lord
husband's desire.

I am the Sea Snake's
own blood,

the closest kin he has left.

Be careful, good-brother.

One could take
your words for treason.

I speak the truth, Rhaenys.

And you know it.

The matter has been decided.

Vaemond:
By a man whose ambition

has brought down on us
calamity after calamity.

My brother cares only
for the history books.

But what of the Velaryon line?

Is it to be snuffed out,

supplanted by the pups
of House Strong?

Driftmark is mine
by all rights.

And while I should
like your support,

I do not... need it.

The winds have shifted.

The crown has good reason...
to take my side.

My cousin the King would
have your tongue for this.

But it's not a king who sits
the Iron Throne these days,
good-sister.

It's a queen.

Joffrey... come.

He means to call
into question
Luke's legitimacy.

And by extension Jace,

and by extension
my own claim to the throne.

Vaemond cares only
about Driftmark

and the Velaryon line.

Not about our politics.

Has he made common cause
with Otto Hightower yet?

Hm, this is what I fear.

Rhaenys has flown to court.

-Surely, she cannot be
planning to back him.
-No.

Whatever disagreements
we may have had,

she's not cruel...

-or stupid enough to do that.
-Disagreements?

She believes
we had her son killed
so that we might marry.

Yes... and yet,
she's taken Baela to ward.

Yes. It is Laena's

She has no love for us.

Lyman Beesbury:
We have continued to enjoy
improved customs duties

Grand Maester Orwyle:
It was my understanding
Lord Corlys wished

for his grandson Lucerys

to succeed him
as Lord of the Tides.

The boy has been raised
most of his life
away from Driftmark.

He can fly a dragon, yes,
but can he command a fleet?

Ability does not
alter his claim.

The Sea Snake has never
formally named him as heir,

if it comes to that.

The crown must choose
what is best for the realm.

He is Laenor's son.

Dyana.
What a pretty name.

I understand you've found
yourself in some trouble.

I was fetching
the Prince his wine,

and I put it on his table,

I didn't see him.

I asked him to stop,
Your Grace.

I did, truly...

Shh.

Thank you for telling me,
Dyana.

-I know it wasn't your fault.
-Hm?

Y-You do?

I do.

But what I worry about...

is what others might believe.

You were alone with the Prince,
were you not?

Yes, I-- (stammers)

And no one else
saw what happened
between the two of you.

If anyone else were
to hear about this--

-I haven't told anyone.
-You told Ser Erryk
and Talya and now me.

And though I believe
you are not to blame,

others might not
be so trusting.

They might think you
were trying to besmirch
the Prince, or worse...

that you're the sort of girl
that might have enticed him
in the first place.

And you know what happens
to girls like that.

I, I wouldn't dream

to anyone, Your Grace.

I, I swear it on my life.

a different person.

could see the King,

Princess Rhaenyra.

-And Prince Daemon.
-Daemon: Hm.

It has been so long

the joy of your presence.

Indeed, Your Grace.

Though not long enough
to merit a greeting
upon our arrival.

I'm sure the Queen
had pressing business,
my love.

What can either of us
know of ruling a kingdom?

I do not rule,
as you well know.

My father and I are mere
stewards of the King's
will and wisdom.

Daemon:
And how exactly is
that wisdom expressed...

hm?

In blinks and wheezes?

I'd be surprised
if he could remember
his own name.

-Or if you could.
-King Viserys's condition

-has worsened
since you saw him last.
-Hah.

It subjects him
to considerable pain.

-On the advice
of the maesters--
-Ah, the maesters.

Of course.
It is they who keep him...

addled on milk of the poppy

warm his throne.

Rhaenyra, if you would
see him without it,

-almost blind with suffering.
-Oh, Alicent, I have no doubt

it was... an act
of the purest mercy,

but tell me,
for the King's suffering,

did the maesters also prescribe

the removal
of Targaryen heraldry

and the installation
in its stead of various
statues and stars?

The emblems of the Seven
serve only to guide us
on an uncertain path.

-To remind us
of a higher authority.
-And on the morrow,

which authority will sit
in judgment of my son's claim
on his own inheritance?

-That would be mine...
and the Hand's.
-Daemon: Ah.

But be assured,
the Father is just
and commands me

to forget the accusations
you have hurled
in this room today.

Hyah!

-But we must be prepared
if he does not.

The realm has enjoyed
a long peace,

a credit to the work
of both Jaehaerys
and Viserys,

but the threat of war looms

Princess.

was in coming here.

Whether you'd speak
for or against the suit
brought by Ser Vaemond.

But then, I realized...

you intend to advocate

This is no fair proceeding.

It is a trap

to proclaim
my son illegitimate.

Yet you did worse
than that with Laenor.

Did you not?

I loved your son.

You may not believe it
to be true, but I did.

I did not order his death.

Nor was I complicit in it.
I swear this to you.

I'll make you an offer.

Back Luke's claim,

and let us betroth
Laena's children to mine.

Baela will be Queen
of the Seven Kingdoms

and her sons will be
heirs to the throne.

Rhaena will rule
in Driftmark, and...

the seat will pass
to her and Lucerys's
children in time.

A generous offer.

Though it is the great
hope of this court

that Lord Corlys Velaryon
survive his wounds,

we gather here
with the grim task

of dealing with
the succession of Driftmark.

As Hand, I speak with
the King's voice on this

and all other matters.

The crown will now
hear the petitions.

Ser Vaemond of House Velaryon.

Vaemond: My Queen.

My Lord Hand.

The history
of our noble houses

extends beyond
the Seven Kingdoms

to the days of Old Valyria.

For as long
as House Targaryen
has ruled the skies,

House Velaryon
has ruled the seas.

When the Doom fell on Valyria,

our houses became
the last of their kind.

Our forebearers
came to this new land,

knowing that were they to fail,

it would mean the end
to their bloodlines
and their name.

I have spent my entire life
on Driftmark defending
my brother's seat.

I am Lord Corlys's closest kin,
his own blood.

The true, unimpeachable
blood of House Velaryon
runs through my veins.

As it does in my sons,
the offspring
of Laenor Velaryon.

If you cared so much
about your house's blood,
Ser Vaemond,

you would not be so bold as
to supplant its rightful heir.

No, you only
speak for yourself

-and for your own ambition.
-You will have chance

to make
your own petition,
Princess Rhaenyra.

Do Ser Vaemond
the courtesy of allowing
his to be heard.

What do you know
of Velaryon blood,
Princess?

I could cut my veins
and show it to you

and you still
wouldn't recognize it.

This is about the future
and survival of my house,
not yours.

My Queen, my Lord Hand.

This is a matter of blood,
not ambition.

I place the continuation
of the survival of my house
and my line above all.

I humbly put myself before you
as my brother's successor...

the Lord of Driftmark
and Lord of the Tides.

Thank you, Ser Vaemond.

Princess Rhaenyra,
you may now speak

for your son,
Lucerys Velaryon.

If I am to grace this farce
with some answer,

I will start by reminding
the court that nearly
20 years ago, in this very--

King Viserys
of House Targaryen,

the First of His Name,

King of the Andals,
and the Rhoynar,

and the First Men,

Lord of the Seven Kingdoms,
and Protector of the Realm.

-Aemond.

Prince Aemond: Come...

let us drain our cups
to these three...

-Strong boys.
-I dare you to say that again.

Why? 'Twas only a compliment.

Do you not think
yourself Strong?

-Rhaenyra: Jace!
-Alicent: That is enough!

(grunts)

(chuckles)

(grunting)

Why would you
say such a thing
before these people?

I was merely expressing
how proud I am
of my family, Mother.

Mm, though it seems
my nephews aren't quite
as proud of theirs.

Daemon: Wait, wait!

Rhaenyra:
Go to your quarters.
All of you go, now.

(sighs)

(footsteps retreating)

Mm.

Rhaenyra.

It's best, I think, if we
go back to Dragonstone.

You've only just arrived.

Let me see
the children home.

I'll, um...

return on dragonback.

The King and I
would both like that.

(indistinct chatter)

(mysterious music playing)

(dog barking)

(chatter continues)

It's been quite a night
at the castle, it seems.

Yes, my lady.

Believe what to be true,
my King?

Don't you remember?

Aegon...

Our son?

His Dream.

The Song of Ice...

and Fi--

It is true.

What he saw in the North.

The Prince That Was Promised.

I don't understand, Viserys.

(sighs)
The Prince.

Prince Aegon?

To unite the realm

against the cold...
and the dark.

It is you.

You are the one.

You must do this.

(softly) You must do this.

Shh, shh.

I understand, my King.
