1
00:01:59,705 --> 00:02:02,291
- Good morrow, Lady Rhea.
- Cousin.
2
00:02:02,374 --> 00:02:04,334
What's today's quarry? Rabbit?
3
00:02:04,835 --> 00:02:07,963
- Deer.
- Oh, fine challenge.
4
00:02:08,046 --> 00:02:09,506
Care for some company?
5
00:02:09,589 --> 00:02:10,882
I'd rather ride alone.
6
00:02:13,302 --> 00:02:14,553
Good fortune to you.
7
00:03:01,725 --> 00:03:02,809
Husband.
8
00:03:08,357 --> 00:03:09,608
What brings you to the Vale?
9
00:03:14,196 --> 00:03:18,158
Or have you at last come
to consummate our marriage?
10
00:03:19,701 --> 00:03:22,245
The Vale's sheep might be willing,
11
00:03:22,329 --> 00:03:23,789
even if I'm not.
12
00:03:24,664 --> 00:03:27,542
Our sheep are prettier, after all.
13
00:03:29,044 --> 00:03:32,756
Or perhaps your brother has at last
had his fill of your company.
14
00:03:33,799 --> 00:03:36,760
Cast you aside
in favor of a little girl.
15
00:03:42,933 --> 00:03:44,518
What will you do now?
16
00:03:45,477 --> 00:03:48,605
Will you strike the child down?
17
00:03:48,688 --> 00:03:49,981
Or?
18
00:04:39,239 --> 00:04:41,116
I knew you couldn't finish.
19
00:04:43,034 --> 00:04:44,244
Craven!
20
00:05:24,159 --> 00:05:25,577
Thank you.
21
00:06:07,202 --> 00:06:08,370
A moment.
22
00:06:15,794 --> 00:06:17,170
I do not wish to see you go.
23
00:06:20,215 --> 00:06:22,133
Such is the King's decision.
24
00:06:22,217 --> 00:06:23,969
A decision I most bitterly regret.
25
00:06:27,013 --> 00:06:29,015
And yet, you made it possible.
26
00:06:31,226 --> 00:06:32,727
You chose Rhaenyra.
27
00:06:34,187 --> 00:06:35,730
She swore her innocence,
28
00:06:35,814 --> 00:06:37,357
and I believed her.
29
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,443
You wanted to believe her,
as did her father.
30
00:06:40,527 --> 00:06:41,945
Your informant was wrong.
31
00:06:42,028 --> 00:06:44,864
An honest mistake, perhaps,
but I did not foresee this!
32
00:06:44,948 --> 00:06:46,533
You should have.
33
00:06:46,616 --> 00:06:49,786
If you had not been so relentless
in advancing Aegon as heir!
34
00:07:00,463 --> 00:07:01,756
Listen to me, daughter.
35
00:07:03,133 --> 00:07:05,176
The King will die.
36
00:07:05,260 --> 00:07:08,555
It may be months or years,
but he'll not live to be an old man.
37
00:07:08,638 --> 00:07:10,599
And if Rhaenyra succeeds him,
38
00:07:10,682 --> 00:07:14,019
war will follow, do you understand?
39
00:07:14,102 --> 00:07:15,895
The realm will not accept her.
40
00:07:15,979 --> 00:07:17,480
And to secure her claim,
41
00:07:17,564 --> 00:07:20,233
she'll have to put
your children to the sword.
42
00:07:20,317 --> 00:07:21,610
She'll have no choice.
43
00:07:24,613 --> 00:07:26,323
You know it.
44
00:07:26,406 --> 00:07:30,076
You're no fool,
and yet you choose not to see it.
45
00:07:32,329 --> 00:07:34,456
The time is coming, Alicent.
46
00:07:35,915 --> 00:07:38,418
Either you prepare Aegon to rule,
47
00:07:38,501 --> 00:07:42,714
or you cleave to Rhaenyra
and pray for her mercy.
48
00:09:15,974 --> 00:09:19,561
Where is Lord Corlys?
He should be here to receive the King.
49
00:09:28,486 --> 00:09:29,821
Welcome to High Tide, Your Grace.
50
00:09:31,114 --> 00:09:33,324
What is the meaning of this, Lady Laena?
51
00:09:34,117 --> 00:09:36,119
Is this how House Velaryon
greets its King?
52
00:09:37,245 --> 00:09:40,039
My father has but just returned
from his long journey
53
00:09:40,790 --> 00:09:44,043
and he has hastened to the Hall of Nine
to await Your Grace's arrival.
54
00:09:47,672 --> 00:09:49,632
Let's just get on with it.
55
00:09:59,267 --> 00:10:00,727
An outsider...
56
00:10:01,728 --> 00:10:03,021
among the natives.
57
00:10:04,272 --> 00:10:05,482
Lord Larys.
58
00:10:07,233 --> 00:10:08,651
Malvales.
59
00:10:09,152 --> 00:10:10,278
A rare bloom.
60
00:10:11,780 --> 00:10:14,282
Indigenous to Braavos.
61
00:10:16,409 --> 00:10:20,079
By all rights,
it shouldn't be thriving here.
62
00:10:20,955 --> 00:10:23,708
Nature, such mystery.
63
00:10:25,043 --> 00:10:26,961
- The weather has been lovely.
- Indeed.
64
00:10:27,045 --> 00:10:28,880
And yet it is a dark day for the realm.
65
00:10:33,009 --> 00:10:34,260
Your father was a good man.
66
00:10:36,971 --> 00:10:38,473
As is yours who took his place.
67
00:10:42,435 --> 00:10:43,645
Yet still,
68
00:10:44,270 --> 00:10:46,898
the manner of your father's departure...
69
00:10:48,191 --> 00:10:50,777
it feels something of an injustice.
70
00:10:52,570 --> 00:10:54,739
What do you know of the matter
of his leaving?
71
00:10:54,823 --> 00:10:56,533
When one is never invited to speak,
72
00:10:56,616 --> 00:11:00,370
one learns instead to... observe.
73
00:11:02,664 --> 00:11:04,249
You're perhaps in need of an ally?
74
00:11:05,291 --> 00:11:06,501
I'm the Queen.
75
00:11:06,584 --> 00:11:09,003
- I have no shortage of allies.
- Naturally.
76
00:11:09,087 --> 00:11:11,089
Princess Rhaenyra, for example.
77
00:11:12,507 --> 00:11:14,133
State your purpose, my lord.
78
00:11:16,594 --> 00:11:17,804
Um...
79
00:11:17,887 --> 00:11:20,890
I did wonder if she could be relied upon
80
00:11:20,974 --> 00:11:23,601
now that she is unwell.
81
00:11:25,061 --> 00:11:28,147
Unwell? I haven't heard anything.
82
00:11:28,898 --> 00:11:30,942
Begging your pardon,
Your Grace, I may be mistaken.
83
00:11:32,610 --> 00:11:35,238
It's just that on the very same night
your father was dismissed,
84
00:11:35,321 --> 00:11:38,950
the Grand Maester delivered a tea
to the Princess's chambers.
85
00:11:41,077 --> 00:11:43,079
- A tea?
- Yes.
86
00:11:45,874 --> 00:11:48,084
That the Grand Maester himself brought?
87
00:11:48,167 --> 00:11:51,379
At the direction of the King,
as I understand it.
88
00:11:54,132 --> 00:11:56,342
I do hope she's not unwell.
89
00:11:57,844 --> 00:12:00,013
Rhaenyra sailed
with the King to Driftmark
90
00:12:00,096 --> 00:12:02,515
- yesterday at daybreak.
- Oh, what good news.
91
00:12:03,182 --> 00:12:04,392
I must've been in error.
92
00:12:05,977 --> 00:12:07,937
Ah, a relief.
93
00:12:09,814 --> 00:12:12,025
I thought for Mellos himself, well...
94
00:12:13,651 --> 00:12:15,653
her condition must be
something very serious.
95
00:12:16,905 --> 00:12:19,908
What happiness it is to have been wrong.
96
00:12:50,730 --> 00:12:51,898
I'm sorry.
97
00:12:51,981 --> 00:12:53,316
Come, cousin.
98
00:12:53,399 --> 00:12:56,027
Let us discover what might be had
for breakfast.
99
00:13:29,435 --> 00:13:30,853
Your Grace.
100
00:13:45,785 --> 00:13:47,787
Rise, Lord Corlys.
101
00:13:49,247 --> 00:13:50,540
Be welcome.
102
00:13:50,623 --> 00:13:52,250
May I offer you a chair?
103
00:13:54,085 --> 00:13:55,169
Cousin!
104
00:13:56,546 --> 00:13:57,922
Princess.
105
00:14:05,555 --> 00:14:07,765
- Are you well?
- Very.
106
00:14:08,933 --> 00:14:10,935
I congratulate you,
Lord Lyonel.
107
00:14:11,019 --> 00:14:14,230
I can think of no man more suited to be
the Hand of the King.
108
00:14:14,313 --> 00:14:17,025
That is very kind of you to say,
Lord Corlys.
109
00:14:17,108 --> 00:14:19,110
His Grace has honored me with the post.
110
00:14:21,487 --> 00:14:22,822
Pity about Ser Otto.
111
00:14:25,366 --> 00:14:28,661
Despite spending most of my days
amidst the grandeur of the Red Keep,
112
00:14:28,745 --> 00:14:31,622
the halls of High Tide
never fail to impress.
113
00:14:31,706 --> 00:14:33,374
You flatter me, Your Grace.
114
00:14:34,375 --> 00:14:37,045
Though I do wish we could meet
under happier pretenses.
115
00:14:38,588 --> 00:14:41,049
- How so?
- Daemon's wife,
116
00:14:41,132 --> 00:14:43,259
the Lady Rhea Royce, has passed.
117
00:14:44,260 --> 00:14:45,700
A hunting mishap.
118
00:14:46,679 --> 00:14:48,681
She was thrown from her horse.
119
00:14:48,765 --> 00:14:51,851
Her neck and skull
both crushed in the fall.
120
00:14:51,934 --> 00:14:54,187
A most surprising end.
121
00:14:54,270 --> 00:14:58,608
Lady Rhea's skill as both
rider and hunter were well-known.
122
00:14:58,691 --> 00:15:00,943
- The gods are cruel.
- Indeed.
123
00:15:01,819 --> 00:15:07,116
Lady Rhea was a fine woman
and a good wife to my brother.
124
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:11,037
Sad thing that she and Daemon
have no heirs to succeed her.
125
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:12,830
She stood to inherit Runestone.
126
00:15:13,956 --> 00:15:17,168
Mayhaps we can turn toward
happier pursuits.
127
00:15:18,002 --> 00:15:20,671
- No, thank you.
- What did you have in mind, Your Grace?
128
00:15:24,509 --> 00:15:27,845
I wish to propose a marriage
between your son, Ser Laenor...
129
00:15:28,805 --> 00:15:31,682
and my daughter and heir,
the Princess Rhaenyra.
130
00:15:31,766 --> 00:15:35,228
It's long past time our houses
were united in blood.
131
00:15:35,311 --> 00:15:37,522
The last pillars of Old Valyria.
132
00:15:38,397 --> 00:15:41,984
You honor both me
and my house, Your Grace.
133
00:15:42,068 --> 00:15:45,238
There are certain details
I would wish clarified
134
00:15:45,321 --> 00:15:48,533
before the Princess Rhaenys
and I could accept this most...
135
00:15:49,242 --> 00:15:50,868
generous proposal.
136
00:15:52,537 --> 00:15:54,163
What details?
137
00:15:56,999 --> 00:16:00,586
We would like to know
how the succession will be handled.
138
00:16:03,881 --> 00:16:06,134
Rhaenyra is my heir.
139
00:16:06,217 --> 00:16:09,428
Upon my death, my throne and my titles
will pass to her.
140
00:16:09,512 --> 00:16:12,974
She and Ser Laenor's firstborn child,
regardless of gender,
141
00:16:13,057 --> 00:16:15,685
will inherit the Iron Throne from her.
142
00:16:17,603 --> 00:16:22,733
Can I presume that,
in keeping with Westerosi tradition...
143
00:16:23,818 --> 00:16:26,445
their children would take
their father's name?
144
00:16:27,905 --> 00:16:31,284
That they would be born Velaryons?
145
00:16:31,367 --> 00:16:33,161
Surely, Lord Corlys,
146
00:16:33,244 --> 00:16:35,538
you are not proposing
the Targaryen dynasty
147
00:16:35,621 --> 00:16:38,332
end with my daughter
simply because she is a woman?
148
00:16:41,335 --> 00:16:43,963
I only seek clarity, Your Grace.
149
00:16:48,718 --> 00:16:50,303
Might I have a chair
brought in for you?
150
00:16:50,386 --> 00:16:51,387
I do not...
151
00:16:51,470 --> 00:16:53,431
No. I do not require a chair.
152
00:16:55,975 --> 00:17:00,104
Upon their birth,
Ser Laenor and Rhaenyra's children
153
00:17:00,188 --> 00:17:02,648
shall take their
father's name, Velaryon...
154
00:17:03,566 --> 00:17:06,611
in keeping with our traditions.
155
00:17:06,694 --> 00:17:08,196
However,
156
00:17:08,279 --> 00:17:12,074
at such time when their firstborn
ascends the Iron Throne,
157
00:17:12,158 --> 00:17:15,286
he or she will do so
bearing the name Targaryen.
158
00:17:16,913 --> 00:17:21,167
Dragons will rule the Seven Kingdoms
for the next hundred years,
159
00:17:21,250 --> 00:17:23,252
just as they did the last.
160
00:17:36,349 --> 00:17:38,351
This is an equitable compromise.
161
00:17:40,019 --> 00:17:41,229
Good.
162
00:17:42,104 --> 00:17:44,732
Now, if there's nothing further.
163
00:17:54,992 --> 00:17:59,330
In truth, if it had
to be someone, I'm glad it is you.
164
00:18:01,707 --> 00:18:04,335
I know this union is not
what you would choose.
165
00:18:05,586 --> 00:18:07,797
I hold nothing against you, cousin.
166
00:18:08,839 --> 00:18:10,258
No, I...
167
00:18:12,093 --> 00:18:13,302
Rather...
168
00:18:14,178 --> 00:18:16,806
Dare I say it is a matter of taste?
169
00:18:20,726 --> 00:18:23,729
I prefer roast duck to goose.
170
00:18:24,522 --> 00:18:26,148
I cannot say why.
171
00:18:29,694 --> 00:18:31,153
It's not for a lack of trying.
172
00:18:32,738 --> 00:18:34,949
There are those
who like goose very well.
173
00:18:36,701 --> 00:18:39,078
I find it a bit greasy for my taste.
174
00:18:43,416 --> 00:18:45,793
I know that whatever agreement
being struck up there
175
00:18:45,876 --> 00:18:47,837
will not change your appetites,
176
00:18:48,337 --> 00:18:50,339
nor will it change mine.
177
00:18:52,383 --> 00:18:53,426
And what do you propose?
178
00:18:59,807 --> 00:19:03,853
That we perform our duty to our fathers
and to the realm
179
00:19:03,936 --> 00:19:06,105
and when it's done...
180
00:19:06,188 --> 00:19:08,607
each of us dines as we see fit.
181
00:19:19,243 --> 00:19:22,872
Viserys has taken
to bed while his ship is readied.
182
00:19:25,333 --> 00:19:26,667
Perhaps I...
183
00:19:27,626 --> 00:19:29,045
overextended myself?
184
00:19:31,547 --> 00:19:32,965
Pushed him too close to the edge?
185
00:19:33,049 --> 00:19:35,843
My cousin chose to sail
into this tempest, husband.
186
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,181
It was undignified of the King
to drag himself here
187
00:19:40,264 --> 00:19:42,600
and beg for Laenor's hand.
188
00:19:43,017 --> 00:19:44,226
Where is Laenor?
189
00:19:44,977 --> 00:19:47,438
He and Rhaenyra
are walking the coast.
190
00:19:47,521 --> 00:19:48,522
Good.
191
00:19:49,315 --> 00:19:51,942
Do they seem... familiar?
192
00:19:52,735 --> 00:19:54,335
They grew up together.
193
00:19:55,154 --> 00:19:57,698
Familiarity is not at issue.
194
00:19:57,782 --> 00:20:00,826
I'm sure Laenor
was already taken with her.
195
00:20:00,910 --> 00:20:02,828
She's grown quite comely
these last few years.
196
00:20:02,912 --> 00:20:04,705
You know his true nature.
197
00:20:06,123 --> 00:20:07,124
He's still young.
198
00:20:08,918 --> 00:20:10,086
He will outgrow it.
199
00:20:12,004 --> 00:20:14,548
There is no pleasure
in the world like...
200
00:20:16,675 --> 00:20:17,885
bedding a woman.
201
00:20:17,968 --> 00:20:20,846
We are placing our son in danger.
202
00:20:21,764 --> 00:20:24,058
The lords of the realm
bent the knee to Rhaenyra
203
00:20:24,141 --> 00:20:25,351
and swore obeisance to her.
204
00:20:25,434 --> 00:20:27,269
That was before there
was a true-born prince
205
00:20:27,353 --> 00:20:29,188
named Aegon Targaryen.
206
00:20:29,271 --> 00:20:31,440
Rhaenyra's succession
will be challenged.
207
00:20:31,941 --> 00:20:35,778
Knives will come out for her,
her husband, and for their heirs.
208
00:20:35,861 --> 00:20:39,698
Our house controls the realm's navy
and half its dragons.
209
00:20:39,782 --> 00:20:41,992
Anyone fool enough to challenge
Rhaenyra's claim
210
00:20:42,076 --> 00:20:45,329
- will be crushed.
- To what end, Corlys? Wealth? Power?
211
00:20:45,413 --> 00:20:47,039
- Pride?
- Justice.
212
00:20:52,503 --> 00:20:54,046
By all rights,
213
00:20:54,130 --> 00:20:56,173
you should be
Queen of the Seven Kingdoms.
214
00:20:58,259 --> 00:20:59,969
You were robbed
of the crown by...
215
00:21:00,052 --> 00:21:03,973
I never wore the crown
because the realm would not have it so.
216
00:21:04,056 --> 00:21:06,350
And I would remedy that
217
00:21:06,434 --> 00:21:10,020
small-minded error
by any means necessar...
218
00:21:10,104 --> 00:21:14,358
I myself have put the business
behind me, Corlys.
219
00:21:22,408 --> 00:21:25,411
I've always feared the day
you'd have to marry a woman.
220
00:21:26,412 --> 00:21:27,621
And now it comes.
221
00:21:29,039 --> 00:21:30,833
Your betrothed gives you leave
222
00:21:30,916 --> 00:21:33,335
of her own free will
to continue partaking of.
223
00:21:34,086 --> 00:21:36,338
Was I the duck or the goose?
224
00:21:36,422 --> 00:21:38,841
I've come to meet my fate
and you make a jape of it?
225
00:21:40,509 --> 00:21:42,470
Look, Rhaenyra will be
Queen of the Seven Kingdoms
226
00:21:42,553 --> 00:21:44,763
and you will be her king consort.
227
00:21:45,764 --> 00:21:47,766
Think of the tournament,
228
00:21:47,850 --> 00:21:50,102
the feast, the battles at sea.
229
00:21:53,105 --> 00:21:54,940
Will you wear your crown today,
Your Grace?
230
00:21:57,485 --> 00:21:58,903
You're a fool.
231
00:22:06,243 --> 00:22:07,703
You will need a sworn protector.
232
00:22:08,496 --> 00:22:09,497
Hmm.
233
00:22:30,226 --> 00:22:32,853
This is better
than we could've hoped for.
234
00:22:38,108 --> 00:22:40,027
She has a paramour of her own.
235
00:22:42,863 --> 00:22:44,114
I wonder who it is.
236
00:23:07,638 --> 00:23:10,057
Did sleep flee you as well
this morning?
237
00:23:11,350 --> 00:23:13,227
I needed to see you, Princess.
238
00:23:14,228 --> 00:23:16,230
I confess
I had a similar desire.
239
00:23:21,527 --> 00:23:26,240
You have confided in me now and then
over the years of our acquaintance.
240
00:23:26,323 --> 00:23:32,913
I feel, forgive me,
that I know you... a bit.
241
00:23:35,332 --> 00:23:36,709
You know more than a bit.
242
00:23:40,296 --> 00:23:45,509
I've heard you say so many times
how you loathe the lot of your position,
243
00:23:46,135 --> 00:23:48,512
that you are to be married off
at your father's whim
244
00:23:48,596 --> 00:23:51,181
with no thought given to the yearning
of your own heart,
245
00:23:51,265 --> 00:23:53,892
and now the day comes.
246
00:23:55,561 --> 00:23:59,481
Ser Laenor is a good and decent man,
but you did not choose him.
247
00:24:00,482 --> 00:24:03,902
- He was chosen for you.
- That's true.
248
00:24:07,281 --> 00:24:09,283
If there were another path...
249
00:24:10,367 --> 00:24:12,369
one that led to freedom...
250
00:24:13,037 --> 00:24:14,288
would you tread it?
251
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,584
Rhaenyra, before I came here,
252
00:24:18,667 --> 00:24:20,878
I was a knight in the Stormlands.
253
00:24:21,629 --> 00:24:23,839
I have deep knowledge
of the port at Sunspear
254
00:24:23,922 --> 00:24:26,050
where I've seen the ships
of Essos setting sail
255
00:24:26,133 --> 00:24:28,510
with their hulls full
of oranges and cinnamon
256
00:24:28,594 --> 00:24:30,804
and I've always wished
to see where they went.
257
00:24:32,723 --> 00:24:34,350
Are you asking for leave?
258
00:24:35,726 --> 00:24:38,270
I'm asking you to come with me...
259
00:24:39,813 --> 00:24:41,815
away from all of this.
260
00:24:42,524 --> 00:24:45,486
From the burdens and indignities
of your inheritance.
261
00:24:45,569 --> 00:24:48,989
Let us leave it all behind
and see the world together...
262
00:24:50,783 --> 00:24:52,284
where we'll be nameless,
263
00:24:52,368 --> 00:24:53,994
and free...
264
00:24:54,912 --> 00:24:57,414
free to go where we like,
to love as we like.
265
00:24:59,124 --> 00:25:00,542
In Essos...
266
00:25:03,337 --> 00:25:04,963
you could marry me.
267
00:25:08,842 --> 00:25:10,594
A marriage for love,
268
00:25:10,678 --> 00:25:12,429
not for the crown.
269
00:25:37,413 --> 00:25:40,332
I am the crown, Ser Criston.
270
00:25:42,793 --> 00:25:43,919
Or I will be.
271
00:25:45,879 --> 00:25:48,465
I may chafe at my duties,
272
00:25:48,549 --> 00:25:51,719
but do you think I would choose infamy
273
00:25:51,802 --> 00:25:55,472
in exchange for a bushel of oranges
or a ship to Asshai?
274
00:25:58,892 --> 00:26:00,269
It is my duty
275
00:26:00,352 --> 00:26:03,439
to marry a nobleman from a great house
276
00:26:03,522 --> 00:26:06,066
and Ser Laenor will make a fine husband.
277
00:26:10,529 --> 00:26:12,448
But my, um...
278
00:26:13,449 --> 00:26:15,075
my marriage...
279
00:26:16,410 --> 00:26:18,579
does not have to be the end.
280
00:26:21,457 --> 00:26:26,420
Ser Criston, Laenor and I have
an understanding.
281
00:26:28,172 --> 00:26:32,092
I've granted him leave
to pursue his own interests...
282
00:26:33,135 --> 00:26:35,095
and in turn, he's granted me the same.
283
00:26:42,352 --> 00:26:44,188
So you want me to be your whore?
284
00:26:46,148 --> 00:26:49,610
I want us
to continue as we began,
285
00:26:49,693 --> 00:26:53,197
with you as my sworn protector,
my white knight.
286
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,199
I took an oath.
287
00:26:56,950 --> 00:27:00,329
As a knight of your Kingsguard.
288
00:27:00,412 --> 00:27:02,372
An oath of chastity. I've broken it.
289
00:27:02,456 --> 00:27:04,958
- I won't tell anyone...
- I've soiled my white cloak.
290
00:27:05,042 --> 00:27:07,294
And it's the only thing
I have to my fucking name!
291
00:27:10,547 --> 00:27:13,967
I thought if we were married,
I might be able to restore it.
292
00:27:20,891 --> 00:27:22,935
The Iron Throne looms larger than me,
293
00:27:23,018 --> 00:27:26,605
larger than anyone in my family.
294
00:27:26,688 --> 00:27:30,317
Aegon the Conqueror
united the Seven Kingdoms
295
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,402
and put them on a path...
296
00:27:33,111 --> 00:27:34,488
Ser Criston.
297
00:28:22,411 --> 00:28:23,888
- Fetch the Maester!
- Get back.
298
00:28:23,912 --> 00:28:25,664
Get Mellos! Get back!
299
00:28:25,747 --> 00:28:27,374
Prepare the crucible.
300
00:28:28,542 --> 00:28:30,377
We'll need leeches.
301
00:28:34,256 --> 00:28:35,674
Ser Criston...
302
00:28:37,092 --> 00:28:38,510
you've been summoned.
303
00:28:39,887 --> 00:28:42,097
I left the Princess just minutes ago.
304
00:28:43,015 --> 00:28:44,600
Not the Princess, ser.
305
00:28:45,267 --> 00:28:46,351
The Queen.
306
00:29:01,283 --> 00:29:02,910
Ser Criston, Your Grace.
307
00:29:07,205 --> 00:29:08,832
That will be all.
308
00:29:22,220 --> 00:29:25,724
I fear I must question you
on a delicate matter, Ser Criston.
309
00:29:28,769 --> 00:29:30,979
I am your servant as always, my Queen.
310
00:29:32,522 --> 00:29:34,733
It concerns our dear Princess Rhaenyra.
311
00:29:36,068 --> 00:29:37,277
Please.
312
00:30:03,387 --> 00:30:06,640
You are her sworn protector
and rightly loyal to her.
313
00:30:07,766 --> 00:30:09,309
I am.
314
00:30:13,146 --> 00:30:15,148
The night of Daemon's return...
315
00:30:17,901 --> 00:30:19,528
there's been a rumor...
316
00:30:20,445 --> 00:30:25,075
or rather, my father received
an accounting of...
317
00:30:26,660 --> 00:30:29,246
a lapse of morals
318
00:30:29,329 --> 00:30:33,333
that may have occurred between...
319
00:30:36,420 --> 00:30:39,589
It is, of course, unthinkable for me
to question the virtue of the Princess,
320
00:30:39,673 --> 00:30:41,633
whom I hold in highest regard,
321
00:30:41,717 --> 00:30:46,013
but, I did, however, wonder if...
322
00:30:53,353 --> 00:30:56,565
I'm not unaware
that in flush of youth...
323
00:30:57,566 --> 00:30:59,192
there may be errors made...
324
00:31:00,485 --> 00:31:03,155
breaches in resolve,
325
00:31:03,238 --> 00:31:06,241
- breaches, or rather lapses...
- It happened, Your Grace.
326
00:31:11,913 --> 00:31:13,915
The sin you allude to.
327
00:31:16,918 --> 00:31:18,253
I have committed it.
328
00:31:22,090 --> 00:31:25,093
At her instigation,
it is true, but that should...
329
00:31:26,261 --> 00:31:27,888
It is no excuse.
330
00:31:30,766 --> 00:31:32,434
My oath has been broken.
331
00:31:33,435 --> 00:31:35,062
I have dishonored myself.
332
00:31:36,730 --> 00:31:38,732
I deserve no consideration.
333
00:31:42,903 --> 00:31:44,112
But if...
334
00:31:45,238 --> 00:31:49,743
as a clement Queen,
you are inclined to pity...
335
00:31:51,119 --> 00:31:52,746
I would ask only this...
336
00:31:55,248 --> 00:31:57,834
that rather than gelding me
337
00:31:57,918 --> 00:32:00,087
and having me tortured
338
00:32:00,879 --> 00:32:03,882
you would sentence me
mercifully to death.
339
00:32:19,564 --> 00:32:21,525
Thank you for your honesty, Ser Criston.
340
00:32:32,035 --> 00:32:33,161
You may go.
341
00:33:04,317 --> 00:33:07,946
Rest now, Your Grace.
I will bring the leeches.
342
00:33:08,029 --> 00:33:10,657
Uh, if I may, Grand Maester,
343
00:33:10,740 --> 00:33:14,286
I took the liberty
of preparing a fresh set
344
00:33:14,369 --> 00:33:18,456
of herbal poultices
that might be more effective.
345
00:33:18,540 --> 00:33:21,042
That will not be necessary,
Orwyle.
346
00:33:21,126 --> 00:33:24,546
The leechings have always brought
His Grace relief.
347
00:33:43,773 --> 00:33:44,858
To help him sleep.
348
00:33:56,286 --> 00:33:57,495
Where's the Queen?
349
00:34:00,248 --> 00:34:03,335
I was given to understand that she
is otherwise occupied, Your Grace.
350
00:34:23,772 --> 00:34:25,941
Will I be remembered
as a good king, Lyonel?
351
00:34:27,984 --> 00:34:29,194
Your Grace?
352
00:34:30,278 --> 00:34:33,823
What will they say of me
when the histories are written?
353
00:34:34,741 --> 00:34:37,327
I have neither fought nor conquered,
354
00:34:37,410 --> 00:34:39,704
nor suffered any great defeat.
355
00:34:41,706 --> 00:34:44,334
Some might call that good fortune.
356
00:34:46,836 --> 00:34:49,798
It hardly makes a good song, does it?
357
00:34:49,881 --> 00:34:52,717
To be sung at feasts
in a hundred years...
358
00:34:52,801 --> 00:34:54,427
five hundred.
359
00:34:57,764 --> 00:35:00,642
You have carried
King Jaehaerys's legacy.
360
00:35:01,643 --> 00:35:04,062
And kept the realm strong.
361
00:35:04,479 --> 00:35:06,165
Is it not better
to live in peace
362
00:35:06,189 --> 00:35:09,192
than to have songs
sung after you are dead?
363
00:35:10,026 --> 00:35:11,027
Perhaps.
364
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:16,283
But there is a part of me
wishes I'd been tested.
365
00:35:17,742 --> 00:35:20,370
I often think that in the crucible,
366
00:35:20,453 --> 00:35:23,081
I may have been forged a different man.
367
00:35:25,083 --> 00:35:29,504
Many that are tested,
only wish to have been spared it.
368
00:35:31,798 --> 00:35:34,592
Another lord might assure me
that I would rise like
369
00:35:34,676 --> 00:35:36,553
Aegon the Conqueror given the chance.
370
00:35:36,636 --> 00:35:38,676
- Your Grace, that is...
- You're right.
371
00:35:38,930 --> 00:35:41,933
You're right as always.
372
00:35:44,644 --> 00:35:47,272
It is perhaps best not to know.
373
00:36:34,986 --> 00:36:36,988
It is with great pleasure
374
00:36:37,072 --> 00:36:40,367
that His Grace, King Viserys,
announces the start
375
00:36:40,450 --> 00:36:43,078
of the royal wedding celebrations.
376
00:36:44,996 --> 00:36:49,292
House Lannister with their lord,
Jason Lannister.
377
00:36:49,376 --> 00:36:53,463
Lord Paramount of the West,
and Master of Casterly Rock.
378
00:36:54,672 --> 00:36:58,301
House Hightower
with their lord, Hobert Hightower.
379
00:36:58,385 --> 00:37:01,554
Beacon of the South,
Defender of the Citadel,
380
00:37:01,638 --> 00:37:02,764
the Voice of Oldtown...
381
00:37:15,777 --> 00:37:17,570
Congratulations, Your Grace.
382
00:37:17,654 --> 00:37:19,697
You have made a fine match
for the Princess.
383
00:37:19,781 --> 00:37:21,658
Thank you, Lord Jason.
384
00:37:21,741 --> 00:37:23,827
I could think of no better man
than Ser Laenor.
385
00:37:25,245 --> 00:37:27,914
Well, if this is only the welcome feast,
386
00:37:27,997 --> 00:37:31,501
I admit, I cannot imagine what you might
have planned for the wedding.
387
00:37:31,584 --> 00:37:34,003
My daughter is the future queen.
388
00:37:35,130 --> 00:37:37,924
I wanted this to be
a wedding for the histories.
389
00:37:39,467 --> 00:37:40,844
Where is the Queen?
390
00:37:40,927 --> 00:37:43,138
I had hoped to pay my respects.
391
00:37:44,681 --> 00:37:48,852
I understand the Queen is still
readying herself for the celebrations.
392
00:37:48,935 --> 00:37:51,146
This is why men wage war
393
00:37:51,938 --> 00:37:54,441
because women would never
be ready for the battle in time.
394
00:37:59,612 --> 00:38:02,240
Your presence is always
such a pleasure, Lord Jason.
395
00:38:02,323 --> 00:38:05,160
Princess, Your Grace.
396
00:38:15,336 --> 00:38:19,674
Your Grace, Princess Rhaenyra,
congratulations are in order.
397
00:38:20,425 --> 00:38:23,219
We are very honored
to have you as a guest, Ser Gerold.
398
00:38:23,303 --> 00:38:25,263
I must say, I was most distressed
399
00:38:25,346 --> 00:38:28,349
to hear of the Lady Rhea's
tragic passing.
400
00:38:29,142 --> 00:38:30,768
I'm very sorry for your loss.
401
00:38:30,852 --> 00:38:33,188
Lady Rhea
was a unique character.
402
00:38:33,813 --> 00:38:36,900
Her kind is not soon to be seen again.
403
00:38:36,983 --> 00:38:40,403
If there is anything the crown might do
to aid House Royce...
404
00:38:48,411 --> 00:38:51,372
Lord Corlys of House Velaryon.
405
00:38:51,456 --> 00:38:54,083
Lord of the Tides, Master of Driftmark.
406
00:38:54,167 --> 00:38:57,962
And his lady wife,
Princess Rhaenys Targaryen.
407
00:38:58,046 --> 00:39:01,508
And their son and heir,
Ser Laenor Velaryon,
408
00:39:01,591 --> 00:39:04,219
the future king consort.
409
00:39:45,510 --> 00:39:47,804
- My Betrothed.
- My Betrothed.
410
00:41:11,554 --> 00:41:15,558
Be welcome,
as we join together in celebration.
411
00:41:16,934 --> 00:41:18,519
Tonight is only its beginning.
412
00:41:19,395 --> 00:41:21,981
We honor the crown's oldest
413
00:41:22,065 --> 00:41:25,193
and fiercest ally, House Velaryon.
414
00:41:27,737 --> 00:41:32,408
Reaching back to the days of Old Valyria
and the Age of Dragons.
415
00:41:34,577 --> 00:41:37,580
With House Targaryen and...
416
00:42:16,411 --> 00:42:18,079
The King will not be happy.
417
00:42:18,162 --> 00:42:20,331
Right in the midst of his speech.
418
00:42:31,551 --> 00:42:33,928
The beacon on the Hightower,
419
00:42:34,011 --> 00:42:37,849
do you know what color it glows
when Oldtown calls its banners to war?
420
00:42:38,808 --> 00:42:40,017
Green.
421
00:42:51,821 --> 00:42:53,281
Congratulations, stepdaughter.
422
00:42:54,615 --> 00:42:56,033
What a blessing this is for you.
423
00:43:08,504 --> 00:43:09,839
Please be seated.
424
00:43:19,348 --> 00:43:20,433
Where was I?
425
00:43:20,516 --> 00:43:22,435
The joining of the two houses,
Your Grace.
426
00:43:22,518 --> 00:43:23,978
Yeah.
427
00:43:25,396 --> 00:43:26,814
Yes.
428
00:43:32,278 --> 00:43:37,867
With House Targaryen
and House Velaryon united,
429
00:43:37,950 --> 00:43:41,996
I hope to herald in
a second Age of Dragons
430
00:43:42,079 --> 00:43:43,498
in Westeros.
431
00:43:54,133 --> 00:43:57,136
And after
tonight's small affair...
432
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:03,059
...seven days
of tournament and feasting.
433
00:44:06,270 --> 00:44:07,897
At the end of it all...
434
00:44:09,065 --> 00:44:12,485
At the end of it all, a royal wedding...
435
00:44:13,528 --> 00:44:14,904
between my daughter,
436
00:44:15,863 --> 00:44:17,073
my heir...
437
00:44:17,824 --> 00:44:19,033
your future Queen...
438
00:44:20,326 --> 00:44:24,163
and Ser Laenor Velaryon,
the heir to Driftmark.
439
00:45:16,924 --> 00:45:18,524
I was never much of a dancer.
440
00:45:18,593 --> 00:45:19,945
It's not much different to combat.
441
00:45:19,969 --> 00:45:22,305
Hmm.
I shall hope for a different outcome.
442
00:46:36,295 --> 00:46:39,674
- Your Grace.
- We thank you for coming, uncle.
443
00:46:39,757 --> 00:46:42,385
I worried that given leave of your
father's shadow,
444
00:46:42,468 --> 00:46:44,679
you might wither
in King's Landing's sun.
445
00:46:45,805 --> 00:46:47,807
But you stood tall.
446
00:46:49,016 --> 00:46:50,977
Know that Oldtown stands with you.
447
00:47:18,129 --> 00:47:22,174
In the Vale,
men are made to answer for their crimes.
448
00:47:24,635 --> 00:47:26,804
Even Targaryens.
449
00:47:26,887 --> 00:47:27,972
Who are you?
450
00:47:28,055 --> 00:47:31,058
Ser Gerold Royce of Runestone.
451
00:47:32,810 --> 00:47:34,186
And?
452
00:47:42,903 --> 00:47:46,490
I am cousin to your late lady wife.
453
00:47:46,574 --> 00:47:49,702
Ah, yes. Terrible thing.
454
00:47:49,785 --> 00:47:53,080
I'm positively bereft.
Such a tragic accident.
455
00:47:53,164 --> 00:47:56,125
You know better than anyone,
it was no accident.
456
00:47:56,208 --> 00:47:58,169
Are you confessing some guilt,
Ser Gerold?
457
00:47:58,252 --> 00:48:01,047
I am making an accusation.
458
00:48:03,758 --> 00:48:07,178
In King's Landing, men are made
to answer for their slanders.
459
00:48:07,261 --> 00:48:09,055
Even old bronze cunts like you.
460
00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:13,040
The truth is, I'm glad you've come.
461
00:48:13,100 --> 00:48:15,352
I wish to speak to you
about my inheritance.
462
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:19,482
- What inheritance?
- Lady Rhea and I had no heirs.
463
00:48:19,565 --> 00:48:22,777
As her husband, whatever she was due
now passes to me.
464
00:48:24,445 --> 00:48:28,908
She stood to inherit all of Runestone.
Did she not?
465
00:48:32,411 --> 00:48:34,580
After my niece's wedding,
I plan to fly to the Eyrie
466
00:48:34,663 --> 00:48:36,207
and petition Lady Jeyne myself.
467
00:48:36,290 --> 00:48:38,292
Perhaps I'll see you there, Ser Gerold.
468
00:49:52,283 --> 00:49:55,286
Has anybody ever told you
you're nearly as pretty as your brother?
469
00:49:55,369 --> 00:49:58,164
You flatter me, my Prince.
470
00:49:58,247 --> 00:49:59,915
I was sorry to hear
about your lady wife.
471
00:49:59,999 --> 00:50:01,667
Don't be, I wasn't.
472
00:50:01,750 --> 00:50:03,502
My lady was never very kind to me.
473
00:50:03,586 --> 00:50:05,129
I know who it is.
474
00:50:05,212 --> 00:50:06,212
Hmm?
475
00:50:06,255 --> 00:50:08,215
The handsome paramour.
476
00:50:08,299 --> 00:50:09,300
Who?
477
00:50:10,217 --> 00:50:11,844
Ser Criston Cole.
478
00:50:12,595 --> 00:50:15,806
- Her sworn protector?
- Look at him.
479
00:50:15,890 --> 00:50:17,641
The man is fully cunt-struck.
480
00:50:18,767 --> 00:50:22,771
A Targaryen prince,
a dashing knight, and a dragonrider.
481
00:50:22,855 --> 00:50:24,607
You appear to be every
young maiden's dream.
482
00:50:24,690 --> 00:50:26,609
That's only because
you don't know me yet.
483
00:50:26,692 --> 00:50:29,069
I believe Ser Criston has bloodied
that white cloak of his
484
00:50:29,153 --> 00:50:31,488
- with your bride's maidenhead.
- Keep your voice down.
485
00:50:31,572 --> 00:50:33,782
Perhaps that is something
we might remedy, my Prince.
486
00:50:33,866 --> 00:50:34,867
Perhaps it is.
487
00:50:36,368 --> 00:50:38,996
This is a good thing.
She knows your secret,
488
00:50:40,206 --> 00:50:41,457
and now you know hers.
489
00:50:47,796 --> 00:50:48,881
Hey!
490
00:50:55,429 --> 00:50:56,555
Hey!
491
00:50:58,474 --> 00:50:59,683
Hey!
492
00:51:05,564 --> 00:51:06,565
Hey!
493
00:51:08,734 --> 00:51:09,818
Hey!
494
00:51:12,112 --> 00:51:14,114
They make a handsome match, don't they?
495
00:51:14,990 --> 00:51:16,283
What?
496
00:51:17,117 --> 00:51:19,119
The Princess and Ser Laenor.
497
00:51:22,498 --> 00:51:23,582
Hey!
498
00:51:28,712 --> 00:51:30,130
Ser Joffrey Lonmouth,
499
00:51:31,131 --> 00:51:32,883
or the Knight of Kisses, they call me,
500
00:51:32,967 --> 00:51:35,594
though I don't know why.
501
00:51:36,303 --> 00:51:38,031
I'm on watch.
What's your business?
502
00:51:38,055 --> 00:51:40,766
You don't know me, Ser Criston.
503
00:51:40,849 --> 00:51:43,435
But we are both deeply
invested in this union.
504
00:51:43,519 --> 00:51:44,687
Hey!
505
00:51:46,397 --> 00:51:49,566
If you have something to say,
Ser Joffrey, speak it.
506
00:51:49,650 --> 00:51:51,652
Ser Laenor is quite dear to me.
507
00:51:52,820 --> 00:51:55,990
As I know the Princess is to you.
508
00:51:57,992 --> 00:52:00,452
We should swear
to each other to guard them,
509
00:52:00,536 --> 00:52:04,123
and their secrets,
because if those are kept safe...
510
00:52:06,750 --> 00:52:07,793
then so are we all.
511
00:52:29,273 --> 00:52:30,274
Hey!
512
00:52:33,319 --> 00:52:34,320
Hey!
513
00:52:36,947 --> 00:52:38,073
Hey!
514
00:52:52,254 --> 00:52:54,840
- May I, Ser Harwin?
- Of course, my Prince.
515
00:53:04,058 --> 00:53:05,059
Hey!
516
00:53:59,530 --> 00:54:00,656
Hey!
517
00:54:13,752 --> 00:54:15,337
What in the Seven Hells is going on?
518
00:54:17,005 --> 00:54:18,424
Laenor!
519
00:54:53,125 --> 00:54:55,127
- Stop this!
- Where's Rhaenyra?
520
00:55:15,397 --> 00:55:16,648
Princess?
521
00:55:27,993 --> 00:55:29,620
Put me down!
522
00:56:22,714 --> 00:56:26,927
The love of the Seven
is holy and eternal.
523
00:56:27,844 --> 00:56:30,847
The source of life and love.
524
00:56:32,349 --> 00:56:36,728
We stand here tonight
in thanks and praise
525
00:56:36,812 --> 00:56:40,440
to join two souls as one.
526
00:56:45,487 --> 00:56:46,780
Father...
527
00:56:49,283 --> 00:56:50,701
Mother...
528
00:56:52,828 --> 00:56:54,246
Warrior...
529
00:56:55,455 --> 00:56:56,873
Smith...
530
00:56:58,041 --> 00:56:59,459
Maiden...
531
00:57:00,127 --> 00:57:01,753
Crone...
532
00:57:02,379 --> 00:57:04,006
Stranger.
533
00:57:05,966 --> 00:57:08,594
Hear now their vows.
534
00:57:10,304 --> 00:57:13,307
I am yours and you are mine.
535
00:57:16,018 --> 00:57:17,102
Whatever may come.
536
00:57:20,856 --> 00:57:23,275
I am yours and you are mine.
537
00:57:24,234 --> 00:57:25,652
Whatever may come.
538
00:57:26,445 --> 00:57:30,824
Here, in the presence
of gods and men,
539
00:57:30,907 --> 00:57:32,534
I proclaim...
540
00:57:33,952 --> 00:57:36,580
Laenor of House Velaryon...
541
00:57:38,665 --> 00:57:42,127
Rhaenyra of House Targaryen,
542
00:57:42,210 --> 00:57:44,212
to be man and wife.
543
00:57:47,758 --> 00:57:49,801
One flesh...
544
00:57:50,636 --> 00:57:52,262
one heart...
545
00:57:53,221 --> 00:57:54,848
one soul...
546
00:57:56,475 --> 00:57:59,102
now and forever.
547
00:57:59,853 --> 00:58:02,648
Ser Criston.
