00:57:39,789 --> 00:57:41,082 What do you see? 656 00:57:48,965 --> 00:57:51,718 - I suppose I see us. - Tell me. 657 00:57:51,801 --> 00:57:56,472 Everyone says Targaryens are closer to gods than to men, 658 00:57:56,556 --> 00:57:59,267 but they say that because of our dragons. 659 00:58:00,727 --> 00:58:02,478 Without them, we're just like everyone else. 660 00:58:05,982 --> 00:58:09,903 The idea that we control the dragons... 661 00:58:09,986 --> 00:58:11,571 is an illusion. 662 00:58:13,489 --> 00:58:15,489 They're a power man should never have trifled with. 663 00:58:17,869 --> 00:58:20,205 One that brought Valyria its doom. 664 00:58:20,288 --> 00:58:23,458 If we don't mind our own histories, it will do the same to us. 665 00:58:23,541 --> 00:58:27,045 Targaryen must understand this to be King... 666 00:58:28,463 --> 00:58:29,505 or Queen. 667 00:58:32,967 --> 00:58:35,470 I'm sorry, Rhaenyra. 668 00:58:35,553 --> 00:58:39,432 I have wasted the years since you were born... 669 00:58:39,515 --> 00:58:41,309 wanting for a son. 670 00:58:53,112 --> 00:58:55,240 You are the very best of your mother. 671 00:58:57,408 --> 00:59:00,411 And I believe it, I know she did, 672 00:59:00,495 --> 00:59:02,015 that you could be a great ruling queen. 673 00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:04,624 Daemon is your heir. 674 00:59:06,334 --> 00:59:09,379 Daemon was not made to wear the crown. 675 00:59:09,462 --> 00:59:11,130 But I believe that you were. 676 00:59:12,257 --> 00:59:14,968 Corlys of House Velaryon, 677 00:59:15,051 --> 00:59:19,305 Lord of the Tides and Master of Driftmark. 678 00:59:19,389 --> 00:59:22,475 I, Corlys Velaryon, 679 00:59:22,558 --> 00:59:25,770 Lord of the Tides and Master of Driftmark, 680 00:59:25,853 --> 00:59:27,939 promise to be faithful to King Viserys 681 00:59:28,022 --> 00:59:30,984 and his named heir, the Princess Rhaenyra. 682 00:59:31,067 --> 00:59:33,152 I pledge fealty to them 683 00:59:33,236 --> 00:59:35,321 and shall defend them against all enemies 684 00:59:35,405 --> 00:59:37,824 in good faith and without deceit. 685 00:59:42,370 --> 00:59:45,290 I swear this by the old gods and the new. 686 00:59:47,917 --> 00:59:50,586 This is no trivial gesture, Rhaenyra. 687 00:59:50,670 --> 00:59:52,005 A dragon's saddle is one thing, 688 00:59:52,088 --> 00:59:56,134 but the Iron Throne is the most dangerous seat in the realm. 689 00:59:57,093 --> 00:59:58,970 I, Lord Hobert High tower, 690 00:59:59,053 --> 01:00:01,347 Beacon of the South, Defender of the Citadel, 691 01:00:01,431 --> 01:00:02,932 and Voice of Old town, 692 01:00:03,016 --> 01:00:05,685 promise to be faithful to King Viserys 693 01:00:05,768 --> 01:00:09,022 and his named heir, the Princess Rhaenyra. 694 01:00:11,774 --> 01:00:13,401 I pledge fealty to them 695 01:00:13,484 --> 01:00:14,503 and shall defend them against all enemies 696 01:00:14,527 --> 01:00:18,698 in good faith and without deceit. 697 01:00:18,781 --> 01:00:21,075 I swear this by the old gods and the new. 698 01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:30,376 Give me your hand. 699 01:00:44,974 --> 01:00:46,768 I, Boremund Baratheon... 700 01:00:47,977 --> 01:00:51,189 promise to be faithful to King Viserys... 701 01:00:53,316 --> 01:00:56,986 There's something else that I need to tell you. 702 01:00:57,070 --> 01:00:59,197 It might be difficult for you to understand, 703 01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:01,199 but you must hear it. 704 01:01:01,991 --> 01:01:02,784 Our histories... 705 01:01:02,867 --> 01:01:04,577 they tell us that Aegon looked across 706 01:01:04,660 --> 01:01:05,721 the Blackwater from Dragons tone, 707 01:01:05,745 --> 01:01:09,248 and saw a rich land ripe for the capture. 708 01:01:10,666 --> 01:01:12,746 But ambition alone is not what drove him to conquest. 709 01:01:14,504 --> 01:01:15,588 It was a dream. 710 01:01:15,671 --> 01:01:18,925 And just as Daenys foresaw the end of Valyria, 711 01:01:19,008 --> 01:01:22,345 Aegon foresaw the end of the world of men. 712 01:01:22,428 --> 01:01:24,472 'Tis to begin with a terrible winter 713 01:01:24,555 --> 01:01:27,767 gusting out of the distant north. 714 01:01:27,850 --> 01:01:29,685 I, Rick on Stark, 715 01:01:29,769 --> 01:01:30,978 Lord of Winter fell... 716 01:01:31,062 --> 01:01:33,064 Aegon saw absolute darkness 717 01:01:33,147 --> 01:01:34,440 riding on those winds. 718 01:01:34,524 --> 01:01:36,150 And whatever dwells within 719 01:01:36,234 --> 01:01:38,653 will destroy the world of the living. 720 01:01:38,736 --> 01:01:40,780 When this Great Winter comes, Rhaenyra... 721 01:01:42,156 --> 01:01:44,700 all of Westeros must stand against it. 722 01:01:44,784 --> 01:01:46,369 And if the world of men is to survive, 723 01:01:46,452 --> 01:01:49,288 a Targaryen must be seated on the Iron Throne. 724 01:01:49,372 --> 01:01:51,082 A king or queen, 725 01:01:51,165 --> 01:01:52,445 strong enough to unite the realm 726 01:01:52,500 --> 01:01:55,128 against the cold and the dark. 727 01:01:57,463 --> 01:02:00,216 Aegon called his dream "The Song of Ice and Fire." 728 01:02:02,260 --> 01:02:05,304 This secret... 729 01:02:05,388 --> 01:02:08,349 it's been passed from king to heir since Aegon's time. 730 01:02:09,809 --> 01:02:12,687 Now you must promise to carry it... 731 01:02:12,770 --> 01:02:17,191 and protect it. 732 01:02:17,275 --> 01:02:19,318 Promise me this, Rhaenyra. 733 01:02:23,448 --> 01:02:27,326 Promise me. 734 01:02:29,871 --> 01:02:35,751 I, Viserys Targaryen, first of his name... 735 01:02:37,587 --> 01:02:39,964 King of the Andals, and the Rhoynar, 736 01:02:40,047 --> 01:02:42,216 and the First Men, 737 01:02:42,300 --> 01:02:44,385 Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, 738 01:02:44,469 --> 01:02:47,180 and Protector of the Realm, 739 01:02:47,263 --> 01:02:48,848 do hereby name... 740 01:02:49,599 --> 01:02:51,642 Rhaenyra Targaryen 741 01:02:51,726 --> 01:02:54,020 Princess of Dragons tone 742 01:02:54,103 --> 01:02:56,355 and heir to the Iron Throne.
