00:57:39,890 --> 00:57:41,183 What do you see? 656 00:57:49,065 --> 00:57:51,818 - I suppose I see us. - Tell me. 657 00:57:51,901 --> 00:57:56,571 Everyone says Targaryens are closer to gods than to men, 658 00:57:56,655 --> 00:57:59,365 but they say that because of our dragons. 659 00:58:00,825 --> 00:58:02,576 Without them, we're just like everyone else. 660 00:58:06,080 --> 00:58:10,000 The idea that we control the dragons... 661 00:58:10,084 --> 00:58:11,669 is an illusion. 662 00:58:13,585 --> 00:58:15,586 They're a power man should never have trifled with. 663 00:58:17,965 --> 00:58:20,300 One that brought Valyria its doom. 664 00:58:20,383 --> 00:58:23,553 If we don't mind our own histories, it will do the same to us. 665 00:58:23,636 --> 00:58:27,139 Targaryen must understand this to be King... 666 00:58:28,556 --> 00:58:29,599 or Queen. 667 00:58:33,061 --> 00:58:35,563 I'm sorry, Rhaenyra. 668 00:58:35,646 --> 00:58:39,525 I have wasted the years since you were born... 669 00:58:39,608 --> 00:58:41,401 wanting for a son. 670 00:58:53,203 --> 00:58:55,330 You are the very best of your mother. 671 00:58:57,498 --> 00:59:00,501 And I believe it, I know she did, 672 00:59:00,584 --> 00:59:02,106 that you could be a great ruling queen. 673 00:59:02,169 --> 00:59:04,713 Daemon is your heir. 674 00:59:06,423 --> 00:59:09,467 Daemon was not made to wear the crown. 675 00:59:09,550 --> 00:59:11,218 But I believe that you were. 676 00:59:12,346 --> 00:59:15,056 Corlys of House Velaryon, 677 00:59:15,139 --> 00:59:19,392 Lord of the Tides and Master of Driftmark. 678 00:59:19,476 --> 00:59:22,561 I, Corlys Velaryon, 679 00:59:22,643 --> 00:59:25,856 Lord of the Tides and Master of Driftmark, 680 00:59:25,939 --> 00:59:28,025 promise to be faithful to King Viserys 681 00:59:28,108 --> 00:59:31,069 and his named heir, the Princess Rhaenyra. 682 00:59:31,152 --> 00:59:33,237 I pledge fealty to them 683 00:59:33,321 --> 00:59:35,405 and shall defend them against all enemies 684 00:59:35,489 --> 00:59:37,908 in good faith and without deceit. 685 00:59:42,455 --> 00:59:45,373 I swear this by the old gods and the new. 686 00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:50,668 This is no trivial gesture, Rhaenyra. 687 00:59:50,751 --> 00:59:52,087 A dragon's saddle is one thing, 688 00:59:52,170 --> 00:59:56,217 but the Iron Throne is the most dangerous seat in the realm. 689 00:59:57,174 --> 00:59:59,050 I, Lord Hobert High tower, 690 00:59:59,133 --> 01:00:01,428 Beacon of the South, Defender of the Citadel, 691 01:00:01,512 --> 01:00:03,013 and Voice of Old town, 692 01:00:03,097 --> 01:00:05,765 promise to be faithful to King Viserys 693 01:00:05,848 --> 01:00:09,102 and his named heir, the Princess Rhaenyra. 694 01:00:11,853 --> 01:00:13,479 I pledge fealty to them 695 01:00:13,563 --> 01:00:14,582 and shall defend them against all enemies 696 01:00:14,606 --> 01:00:18,776 in good faith and without deceit. 697 01:00:18,859 --> 01:00:21,152 I swear this by the old gods and the new. 698 01:00:29,076 --> 01:00:30,453 Give me your hand. 699 01:00:45,048 --> 01:00:46,842 I, Boremund Baratheon... 700 01:00:48,051 --> 01:00:51,262 promise to be faithful to King Viserys... 701 01:00:53,389 --> 01:00:57,059 There's something else that I need to tell you. 702 01:00:57,143 --> 01:00:59,269 It might be difficult for you to understand, 703 01:00:59,352 --> 01:01:01,271 but you must hear it. 704 01:01:02,063 --> 01:01:02,857 Our histories... 705 01:01:02,939 --> 01:01:04,650 they tell us that Aegon looked across 706 01:01:04,733 --> 01:01:05,793 the Blackwater from Dragons tone, 707 01:01:05,817 --> 01:01:09,319 and saw a rich land ripe for the capture. 708 01:01:10,738 --> 01:01:12,820 But ambition alone is not what drove him to conquest. 709 01:01:14,574 --> 01:01:15,658 It was a dream. 710 01:01:15,741 --> 01:01:18,995 And just as Daenys foresaw the end of Valyria, 711 01:01:19,078 --> 01:01:22,414 Aegon foresaw the end of the world of men. 712 01:01:22,497 --> 01:01:24,541 'Tis to begin with a terrible winter 713 01:01:24,624 --> 01:01:27,834 gusting out of the distant north. 714 01:01:27,918 --> 01:01:29,753 I, Rick on Stark, 715 01:01:29,837 --> 01:01:31,045 Lord of Winter fell... 716 01:01:31,130 --> 01:01:33,132 Aegon saw absolute darkness 717 01:01:33,215 --> 01:01:34,508 riding on those winds. 718 01:01:34,592 --> 01:01:36,217 And whatever dwells within 719 01:01:36,301 --> 01:01:38,720 will destroy the world of the living. 720 01:01:38,803 --> 01:01:40,848 When this Great Winter comes, Rhaenyra... 721 01:01:42,223 --> 01:01:44,766 all of Westeros must stand against it. 722 01:01:44,850 --> 01:01:46,435 And if the world of men is to survive, 723 01:01:46,518 --> 01:01:49,353 a Targaryen must be seated on the Iron Throne. 724 01:01:49,437 --> 01:01:51,146 A king or queen, 725 01:01:51,229 --> 01:01:52,511 strong enough to unite the realm 726 01:01:52,565 --> 01:01:55,192 against the cold and the dark. 727 01:01:57,527 --> 01:02:00,280 Aegon called his dream "The Song of Ice and Fire." 728 01:02:02,323 --> 01:02:05,366 This secret... 729 01:02:05,450 --> 01:02:08,412 it's been passed from king to heir since Aegon's time. 730 01:02:09,871 --> 01:02:12,750 Now you must promise to carry it... 731 01:02:12,833 --> 01:02:17,252 and protect it. 732 01:02:17,336 --> 01:02:19,379 Promise me this, Rhaenyra. 733 01:02:23,508 --> 01:02:27,386 Promise me. 734 01:02:29,930 --> 01:02:35,809 I, Viserys Targaryen, first of his name... 735 01:02:37,645 --> 01:02:40,022 King of the Andals, and the Rhoynar, 736 01:02:40,105 --> 01:02:42,274 and the First Men, 737 01:02:42,359 --> 01:02:44,442 Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, 738 01:02:44,526 --> 01:02:47,237 and Protector of the Realm, 739 01:02:47,320 --> 01:02:48,906 do hereby name... 740 01:02:49,656 --> 01:02:51,697 Rhaenyra Targaryen 741 01:02:51,781 --> 01:02:54,076 Princess of Dragons tone 742 01:02:54,159 --> 01:02:56,411 and heir to the Iron Throne.
