1
00:01:57,451 --> 00:01:59,787
- Good morrow, Lady Rhea.
- Cousin.
2
00:01:59,870 --> 00:02:03,123
What's today's quarry?
Rabbit?
3
00:02:03,207 --> 00:02:06,502
- Deer.
- Oh. Fine challenge.
4
00:02:06,585 --> 00:02:07,878
Care for some company?
5
00:02:07,962 --> 00:02:09,213
I'd rather ride alone.
6
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,967
Good fortune to you.
7
00:02:59,763 --> 00:03:01,098
Husband.
8
00:03:05,853 --> 00:03:08,731
What brings you to the Vale?
9
00:03:12,526 --> 00:03:16,530
Or have you at last come to
consummate our marriage?
10
00:03:17,990 --> 00:03:20,618
The Vale's sheep
might be willing,
11
00:03:20,701 --> 00:03:22,912
even if I'm not.
12
00:03:22,995 --> 00:03:25,998
Our sheep are prettier,
after all.
13
00:03:27,374 --> 00:03:31,253
Or perhaps your brother has at
last had his fill of your company.
14
00:03:31,337 --> 00:03:34,256
Cast you aside
in favor of a little girl.
15
00:03:41,347 --> 00:03:42,973
What will you do now?
16
00:03:43,766 --> 00:03:47,019
Will you strike the child down?
17
00:03:47,102 --> 00:03:48,228
Or?
18
00:04:37,611 --> 00:04:39,446
I knew you couldn't finish.
19
00:04:41,490 --> 00:04:42,574
Craven!
20
00:05:21,655 --> 00:05:24,033
Thank you.
21
00:06:04,698 --> 00:06:06,325
A moment.
22
00:06:14,083 --> 00:06:16,210
I do not wish to see you go.
23
00:06:18,629 --> 00:06:20,506
Such is the King's decision.
24
00:06:20,589 --> 00:06:23,634
A decision I most
bitterly regret.
25
00:06:25,385 --> 00:06:26,585
And yet, you made it possible.
26
00:06:29,681 --> 00:06:31,517
You chose Rhaenyra.
27
00:06:32,643 --> 00:06:34,144
She swore her innocence,
28
00:06:34,228 --> 00:06:35,312
and I believed her.
29
00:06:35,395 --> 00:06:37,981
You wanted to believe her,
as did her father.
30
00:06:38,065 --> 00:06:40,317
Your informant was wrong.
31
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:41,860
An honest mistake, perhaps,
32
00:06:41,944 --> 00:06:44,905
- but I did not foresee this!
- You should have.
33
00:06:44,988 --> 00:06:48,242
If you had not been so relentless
in advancing Aegon as heir!
34
00:06:57,918 --> 00:07:00,796
Listen to me, daughter.
35
00:07:01,547 --> 00:07:03,590
The King will die.
36
00:07:03,674 --> 00:07:04,466
It may be months or years,
37
00:07:04,550 --> 00:07:06,093
but he'll not live
to be an old man.
38
00:07:06,176 --> 00:07:09,054
And if Rhaenyra succeeds him,
39
00:07:09,138 --> 00:07:12,391
war will follow,
do you understand?
40
00:07:12,474 --> 00:07:14,268
The realm will not accept her.
41
00:07:14,351 --> 00:07:15,894
And to secure her claim,
42
00:07:15,978 --> 00:07:18,689
she'll have to put
your children to the sword.
43
00:07:18,772 --> 00:07:19,982
She'll have no choice.
44
00:07:22,943 --> 00:07:24,695
You know it.
45
00:07:24,778 --> 00:07:28,740
You're no fool, and yet
you choose not to see it.
46
00:07:30,742 --> 00:07:32,870
The time is coming, Alicent.
47
00:07:34,246 --> 00:07:36,748
Either you prepare
Aegon to rule,
48
00:07:36,832 --> 00:07:41,044
or you cleave to Rhaenyra
and pray for her mercy.
49
00:09:14,346 --> 00:09:17,933
Where is Lord Corlys? He
should be here to receive the King.
50
00:09:26,858 --> 00:09:28,527
Welcome to High Tide,
Your Grace.
51
00:09:28,610 --> 00:09:31,530
What is the meaning
of this, Lady Laena?
52
00:09:31,613 --> 00:09:34,658
Is this how House Velaryon
greets its King?
53
00:09:34,741 --> 00:09:37,577
My father has but just
returned from his long journey
54
00:09:37,661 --> 00:09:40,205
and he has hastened
to the Hall of Nine
55
00:09:40,289 --> 00:09:41,581
to await Your Grace's arrival.
56
00:09:46,128 --> 00:09:48,005
Let's just get on with it.
57
00:09:57,597 --> 00:09:59,308
An outsider...
58
00:09:59,891 --> 00:10:01,601
among the natives.
59
00:10:02,769 --> 00:10:03,812
Lord Larys.
60
00:10:05,689 --> 00:10:07,482
Malvales.
61
00:10:07,566 --> 00:10:09,151
A rare bloom.
62
00:10:09,776 --> 00:10:12,529
Indigenous to Braavos.
63
00:10:14,906 --> 00:10:16,325
By all rights,
64
00:10:16,408 --> 00:10:17,608
it shouldn't be thriving here.
65
00:10:19,286 --> 00:10:22,039
Nature...
such mystery.
66
00:10:23,498 --> 00:10:24,416
- The weather has been lovely.
- Indeed.
67
00:10:24,499 --> 00:10:28,003
And yet it is
a dark day for the realm.
68
00:10:31,298 --> 00:10:33,425
Your father was a good man.
69
00:10:34,468 --> 00:10:37,387
As is yours who took his place.
70
00:10:39,973 --> 00:10:42,059
Yet still,
71
00:10:42,142 --> 00:10:45,270
the manner of your
father's departure...
72
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,066
it feels something
of an injustice.
73
00:10:50,901 --> 00:10:53,236
What do you know of
the matter of his leaving?
74
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:54,946
When one is never
invited to speak,
75
00:10:55,030 --> 00:10:58,742
one learns instead
to, um... observe.
76
00:11:01,119 --> 00:11:02,996
You're perhaps
in need of an ally?
77
00:11:03,705 --> 00:11:04,831
I'm the Queen.
78
00:11:04,915 --> 00:11:07,292
- I have no shortage of allies.
- Naturally.
79
00:11:07,376 --> 00:11:09,503
Princess Rhaenyra, for example.
80
00:11:10,921 --> 00:11:13,965
State your purpose, my lord.
81
00:11:15,008 --> 00:11:16,259
Uh...
82
00:11:16,343 --> 00:11:19,221
I did wonder if she
could be relied upon
83
00:11:19,304 --> 00:11:21,890
now that she is... unwell.
84
00:11:22,808 --> 00:11:27,229
Unwell?
I haven't heard anything.
85
00:11:27,312 --> 00:11:29,314
Begging your pardon,
Your Grace, I may be mistaken.
86
00:11:30,690 --> 00:11:33,735
It's just that on the very same
night your father was dismissed,
87
00:11:33,819 --> 00:11:37,322
the Grand Maester delivered a
tea to the Princess's chambers.
88
00:11:39,408 --> 00:11:41,493
- A tea?
- Yes.
89
00:11:44,329 --> 00:11:46,581
That the Grand Maester
himself brought?
90
00:11:46,665 --> 00:11:49,626
At the direction of the King,
as I understand it.
91
00:11:52,421 --> 00:11:53,839
I do hope she's not unwell.
92
00:11:56,258 --> 00:11:58,468
Rhaenyra sailed
with the King to Driftmark
93
00:11:58,552 --> 00:12:01,471
- yesterday at daybreak.
- Oh, what good news.
94
00:12:01,555 --> 00:12:02,639
I must've been in error.
95
00:12:04,224 --> 00:12:06,309
Oh, a relief.
96
00:12:08,228 --> 00:12:10,439
See, I thought
for Mellos himself, well...
97
00:12:11,982 --> 00:12:15,277
her condition must be
something very serious.
98
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,822
What happiness it is
to have been wrong.
99
00:12:48,268 --> 00:12:50,228
I'm sorry.
100
00:12:50,312 --> 00:12:51,312
Come, cousin.
101
00:12:51,354 --> 00:12:54,399
Let us discover what
might be had for breakfast.
102
00:13:27,891 --> 00:13:29,226
Your Grace.
103
00:13:44,282 --> 00:13:46,117
Rise, Lord Corlys.
104
00:13:47,619 --> 00:13:48,912
Be welcome.
105
00:13:48,995 --> 00:13:50,956
May I offer you a chair?
106
00:13:52,415 --> 00:13:54,918
Cousin!
107
00:13:55,001 --> 00:13:56,253
Princess.
108
00:14:03,969 --> 00:14:06,054
- Are you well?
- Very.
109
00:14:07,305 --> 00:14:09,266
I congratulate you, Lord Lyonel.
110
00:14:09,349 --> 00:14:11,768
I can think of no man more
suited to be the Hand of the King.
111
00:14:11,851 --> 00:14:15,480
That is very kind of you
to say, Lord Corlys.
112
00:14:15,564 --> 00:14:17,566
His Grace has honored me
with the post.
113
00:14:19,901 --> 00:14:20,986
Pity about Ser Otto.
114
00:14:23,738 --> 00:14:26,992
Despite spending most of my days
amidst the grandeur of the Red Keep,
115
00:14:27,075 --> 00:14:29,995
the halls of High Tide
never fail to impress.
116
00:14:30,078 --> 00:14:32,747
You flatter me, Your Grace.
117
00:14:32,831 --> 00:14:35,458
Though I do wish we could meet
under happier pretenses.
118
00:14:37,002 --> 00:14:39,504
- How so?
- Daemon's wife,
119
00:14:39,588 --> 00:14:41,715
the Lady Rhea Royce, has passed.
120
00:14:42,591 --> 00:14:45,010
A hunting mishap.
121
00:14:45,093 --> 00:14:47,012
She was thrown from her horse.
122
00:14:47,095 --> 00:14:50,307
Her neck and skull
both crushed in the fall.
123
00:14:50,390 --> 00:14:52,475
A most surprising end.
124
00:14:52,559 --> 00:14:53,893
Lady Rhea's skill as both
125
00:14:53,977 --> 00:14:55,979
rider and hunter
were well-known.
126
00:14:56,062 --> 00:14:59,316
- The gods are cruel.
- Indeed.
127
00:15:00,233 --> 00:15:01,568
Lady Rhea was a fine woman
128
00:15:01,651 --> 00:15:05,488
and a, uh...
good wife to my brother.
129
00:15:05,572 --> 00:15:08,533
Sad thing that she and Daemon
have no heirs to succeed her.
130
00:15:08,617 --> 00:15:12,245
She stood to inherit Runestone.
131
00:15:12,329 --> 00:15:16,249
Mayhaps we can turn
toward happier pursuits.
132
00:15:16,333 --> 00:15:18,573
- No, thank you.
- What did you have in mind, Your Grace?
133
00:15:22,964 --> 00:15:27,010
I wish to propose a marriage
between your son, Ser Laenor...
134
00:15:27,093 --> 00:15:30,013
and my daughter and heir,
the Princess Rhaenyra.
135
00:15:30,096 --> 00:15:33,516
It's long past time our houses
were united in blood.
136
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,810
The last pillars of Old Valyria.
137
00:15:35,894 --> 00:15:40,649
You honor both me
and my house, Your Grace.
138
00:15:40,732 --> 00:15:43,652
There are certain details
I would wish clarified
139
00:15:43,735 --> 00:15:46,071
before the Princess Rhaenys
and I could accept this most...
140
00:15:47,572 --> 00:15:49,157
generous proposal.
141
00:15:50,950 --> 00:15:52,535
What details?
142
00:15:55,288 --> 00:15:58,875
We would like to know how
the succession... will be handled.
143
00:16:02,337 --> 00:16:04,506
Rhaenyra is my heir.
144
00:16:04,589 --> 00:16:07,717
Upon my death, my throne
and my titles will pass to her.
145
00:16:07,801 --> 00:16:10,261
She and Ser Laenor's
firstborn child,
146
00:16:10,345 --> 00:16:11,554
regardless of gender,
147
00:16:11,638 --> 00:16:13,973
will inherit the Iron Throne
from her.
148
00:16:16,017 --> 00:16:18,478
Can I presume that,
149
00:16:18,561 --> 00:16:22,065
in keeping with
Westerosi tradition...
150
00:16:22,148 --> 00:16:23,948
their children would take
their father's name?
151
00:16:26,319 --> 00:16:29,614
That they would be born
Velaryons?
152
00:16:29,698 --> 00:16:31,491
Surely, Lord Corlys,
153
00:16:31,574 --> 00:16:35,161
you are not proposing the Targaryen
dynasty end with my daughter
154
00:16:35,245 --> 00:16:36,705
simply because she is a woman?
155
00:16:39,207 --> 00:16:42,293
I only seek clarity, Your Grace.
156
00:16:47,298 --> 00:16:49,777
- Might I have a chair brought in for you?
- I do not...
157
00:16:49,801 --> 00:16:50,961
No. I do not require a chair.
158
00:16:53,513 --> 00:16:56,224
Upon their birth,
159
00:16:56,307 --> 00:16:58,518
Ser Laenor
and Rhaenyra's children
160
00:16:58,601 --> 00:17:00,937
shall take their
father's name, Velaryon...
161
00:17:01,896 --> 00:17:05,108
in keeping with our traditions.
162
00:17:05,191 --> 00:17:06,568
However,
163
00:17:06,651 --> 00:17:10,488
at such time when their
firstborn ascends the Iron Throne,
164
00:17:10,572 --> 00:17:13,742
he or she will do so
bearing the name Targaryen.
165
00:17:15,285 --> 00:17:17,287
Dragons will rule
the Seven Kingdoms
166
00:17:17,370 --> 00:17:18,663
for the next hundred years,
167
00:17:18,747 --> 00:17:22,125
just as they did the last.
168
00:17:34,721 --> 00:17:36,806
This is an equitable compromise.
169
00:17:38,516 --> 00:17:40,477
Good.
170
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,979
Now, if there's nothing further.
171
00:17:53,323 --> 00:17:56,034
In truth, if
it had to be someone,
172
00:17:56,117 --> 00:17:57,702
I'm glad it is you.
173
00:17:59,996 --> 00:18:02,707
I know this union is not
what you would choose.
174
00:18:03,917 --> 00:18:06,044
I hold nothing
against you, cousin.
175
00:18:07,295 --> 00:18:08,630
No, I...
176
00:18:09,631 --> 00:18:12,509
Rather...
177
00:18:12,592 --> 00:18:15,053
Dare I say it is
a matter of taste?
178
00:18:19,098 --> 00:18:21,226
I prefer roast duck to goose.
179
00:18:22,852 --> 00:18:24,479
I cannot say why.
180
00:18:26,981 --> 00:18:29,150
It's, it's not for
a lack of trying.
181
00:18:31,069 --> 00:18:33,238
There are those who
like goose very well.
182
00:18:34,989 --> 00:18:37,700
I find it a bit greasy
for my taste.
183
00:18:41,830 --> 00:18:44,040
I know that whatever
agreement being struck up there
184
00:18:44,124 --> 00:18:46,292
will not change your appetites,
185
00:18:46,376 --> 00:18:48,711
nor will it change mine.
186
00:18:50,672 --> 00:18:52,298
And what do you propose?
187
00:18:57,303 --> 00:19:02,308
That we perform our duty to
our fathers and to the realm
188
00:19:02,392 --> 00:19:04,561
and when it's done...
189
00:19:04,644 --> 00:19:06,062
each of us dines as we see fit.
190
00:19:17,407 --> 00:19:19,158
Viserys has taken to bed
191
00:19:19,242 --> 00:19:21,119
while his ship is readied.
192
00:19:23,663 --> 00:19:25,915
Perhaps I...
193
00:19:25,999 --> 00:19:27,083
overextended myself?
194
00:19:29,085 --> 00:19:31,254
Pushed him too
close to the edge?
195
00:19:31,337 --> 00:19:35,300
My cousin chose to sail
into this tempest, husband.
196
00:19:35,383 --> 00:19:38,595
It was undignified of the King
to drag himself here
197
00:19:38,678 --> 00:19:41,431
and beg for Laenor's hand.
198
00:19:41,514 --> 00:19:43,224
Where is Laenor?
199
00:19:43,308 --> 00:19:46,769
- He and Rhaenyra are walking the coast.
- Good.
200
00:19:46,853 --> 00:19:50,189
Do they seem... familiar?
201
00:19:51,107 --> 00:19:53,526
They grew up together.
202
00:19:53,610 --> 00:19:55,194
Familiarity is not at issue.
203
00:19:55,278 --> 00:19:59,240
Oh, I'm sure Laenor
was already taken with her.
204
00:19:59,324 --> 00:20:03,161
- She's grown quite comely these last few years.
- You know his true nature.
205
00:20:04,579 --> 00:20:05,914
He's still young.
206
00:20:07,332 --> 00:20:08,958
He will outgrow it.
207
00:20:10,376 --> 00:20:13,296
There is no pleasure
in the world like...
208
00:20:15,131 --> 00:20:19,135
- bedding a woman.
- We are placing our son in danger.
209
00:20:19,218 --> 00:20:22,472
The lords of the realm
bent the knee to Rhaenyra
210
00:20:22,555 --> 00:20:23,765
and swore obeisance to her.
211
00:20:23,848 --> 00:20:24,867
That was before there
was a true-born prince
212
00:20:24,891 --> 00:20:27,602
named Aegon Targaryen.
213
00:20:27,685 --> 00:20:29,771
Rhaenyra's succession
will be challenged.
214
00:20:29,854 --> 00:20:31,689
Knives will come out
215
00:20:31,773 --> 00:20:34,150
for her, her husband,
and for their heirs.
216
00:20:34,233 --> 00:20:35,652
Our house controls
the realm's navy
217
00:20:35,735 --> 00:20:37,195
and half its dragons.
218
00:20:37,278 --> 00:20:40,448
Anyone fool enough to
challenge Rhaenyra's claim
219
00:20:40,531 --> 00:20:42,825
- will be crushed.
- To what end, Corlys? Wealth? Power?
220
00:20:42,909 --> 00:20:45,328
- Pride?
- Justice.
221
00:20:50,833 --> 00:20:52,460
By all rights,
222
00:20:52,543 --> 00:20:54,253
you should be Queen
of the Seven Kingdoms.
223
00:20:56,714 --> 00:20:58,424
You were robbed
of the crown by...
224
00:20:58,508 --> 00:21:00,510
I never wore the crown
225
00:21:00,593 --> 00:21:02,679
because the realm
would not have it so.
226
00:21:02,762 --> 00:21:04,806
And I would remedy that...
227
00:21:04,889 --> 00:21:08,351
small-minded error
by any means necessar...
228
00:21:08,434 --> 00:21:12,689
I myself have put the business
behind me, Corlys.
229
00:21:19,946 --> 00:21:23,783
I've always feared
the day you'd have to marry a woman.
230
00:21:24,367 --> 00:21:26,035
And now it comes.
231
00:21:27,412 --> 00:21:28,430
Your betrothed gives you leave
232
00:21:28,454 --> 00:21:32,417
of her own free will
to continue partaking of.
233
00:21:32,500 --> 00:21:34,711
Was I the duck or the goose?
234
00:21:34,794 --> 00:21:36,834
I've come to meet my fate
and you make a jape of it?
235
00:21:38,923 --> 00:21:40,925
Look, Rhaenyra will be
Queen of the Seven Kingdoms
236
00:21:41,009 --> 00:21:42,289
and you will be
her king consort.
237
00:21:43,219 --> 00:21:46,055
Think of the tournament,
238
00:21:46,139 --> 00:21:48,850
the feast, the battles at sea.
239
00:21:50,643 --> 00:21:54,397
Will you wear your crown today, Your Grace?
240
00:21:55,815 --> 00:21:58,526
You're a fool.
241
00:22:04,574 --> 00:22:07,535
- You will need a sworn protector.
- Mm-hm.
242
00:22:28,514 --> 00:22:30,394
Well, this is better than
we could've hoped for.
243
00:22:36,481 --> 00:22:38,357
She has a paramour of her own.
244
00:22:41,194 --> 00:22:42,862
I wonder who it is.
245
00:23:06,094 --> 00:23:08,304
Did sleep flee you as well
this morning?
246
00:23:09,806 --> 00:23:12,517
I needed to see you, Princess.
247
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,560
I confess I had
a similar desire.
248
00:23:19,982 --> 00:23:22,944
You have confided
in me now and then
249
00:23:23,027 --> 00:23:24,695
over the years
of our acquaintance.
250
00:23:24,779 --> 00:23:27,865
I feel, forgive me,
251
00:23:27,949 --> 00:23:30,368
that I, I know you... a bit.
252
00:23:33,746 --> 00:23:35,623
You know more than a bit.
253
00:23:38,668 --> 00:23:41,629
I've heard you say so many times
254
00:23:41,712 --> 00:23:43,548
how you loathe the lot
of your position,
255
00:23:43,631 --> 00:23:46,843
that you are to be married
off at your father's whim
256
00:23:46,926 --> 00:23:49,595
with no thought given to the
yearning of your own heart,
257
00:23:49,679 --> 00:23:52,557
and... now the day comes.
258
00:23:53,975 --> 00:23:56,018
Ser Laenor is a good
and, and decent man,
259
00:23:56,102 --> 00:23:58,855
but you, you did not choose him.
260
00:23:58,938 --> 00:24:03,067
- He was chosen for you.
- That's true.
261
00:24:05,695 --> 00:24:07,572
If there were another path...
262
00:24:08,781 --> 00:24:10,658
one that led to freedom...
263
00:24:11,617 --> 00:24:14,245
would you tread it?
264
00:24:14,328 --> 00:24:17,081
Rhaenyra, before I came here,
265
00:24:17,165 --> 00:24:20,042
I was a knight
in the Stormlands.
266
00:24:20,126 --> 00:24:22,336
I have deep knowledge
of the port at Sunspear
267
00:24:22,420 --> 00:24:24,380
where I've seen the ships
of Essos setting sail
268
00:24:24,463 --> 00:24:26,924
with their hulls full
of oranges and cinnamon
269
00:24:27,008 --> 00:24:29,218
and I've always wished
to see where they went.
270
00:24:30,261 --> 00:24:32,680
Are you asking for leave?
271
00:24:34,182 --> 00:24:36,642
I'm asking you
to come with me...
272
00:24:38,144 --> 00:24:40,771
away from all of this.
273
00:24:40,855 --> 00:24:43,816
From the burdens and
indignities of your inheritance.
274
00:24:43,900 --> 00:24:46,485
Let us leave it all behind
and see the world together...
275
00:24:49,113 --> 00:24:49,739
where we'll be nameless,
276
00:24:49,822 --> 00:24:53,284
and free...
277
00:24:53,367 --> 00:24:55,828
free to go where we like,
to love as we like.
278
00:24:57,580 --> 00:24:59,123
In Essos...
279
00:25:01,792 --> 00:25:04,837
you could marry me.
280
00:25:07,173 --> 00:25:08,925
A marriage for love,
281
00:25:09,008 --> 00:25:10,801
not for the crown.
282
00:25:35,826 --> 00:25:38,955
I am the crown, Ser Criston.
283
00:25:41,123 --> 00:25:42,708
Or I will be.
284
00:25:44,210 --> 00:25:46,879
I may chafe at my duties,
285
00:25:46,963 --> 00:25:50,091
but do you think
I would choose infamy
286
00:25:50,174 --> 00:25:53,844
in exchange for a bushel of
oranges or a ship to Asshai?
287
00:25:57,223 --> 00:25:58,641
It is my duty
288
00:25:58,724 --> 00:26:01,811
to marry a nobleman
from a great house
289
00:26:01,894 --> 00:26:03,604
and Ser Laenor will
make a fine husband.
290
00:26:08,067 --> 00:26:10,861
But my, um...
291
00:26:11,904 --> 00:26:14,740
my marriage...
292
00:26:14,824 --> 00:26:16,951
does not have to be the end.
293
00:26:19,745 --> 00:26:24,750
Ser Criston, Laenor and
I have an understanding.
294
00:26:26,627 --> 00:26:30,589
I've granted him leave
to pursue his own interests...
295
00:26:30,673 --> 00:26:32,633
and in turn,
he's granted me the same.
296
00:26:40,683 --> 00:26:42,893
So you want me to be your whore?
297
00:26:44,478 --> 00:26:47,857
I want us to continue
as we began,
298
00:26:47,940 --> 00:26:51,694
with you as my sworn
protector, my white knight.
299
00:26:51,777 --> 00:26:54,822
I took an oath.
300
00:26:55,448 --> 00:26:58,701
As a, as a knight of,
of your Kingsguard.
301
00:26:58,784 --> 00:27:00,870
An oath of chastity.
I've broken it.
302
00:27:00,953 --> 00:27:03,390
- I won't tell anyone...
- I-I've, I've soiled my, my, wh... my white cloak.
303
00:27:03,414 --> 00:27:06,375
And it's the only thing
I have to my fucking name!
304
00:27:08,836 --> 00:27:11,672
I, I thought if we were married,
I might be able to restore it.
305
00:27:19,305 --> 00:27:20,532
The Iron Throne
looms larger than me,
306
00:27:20,556 --> 00:27:24,977
larger than anyone in my family.
307
00:27:25,061 --> 00:27:28,731
Aegon the Conqueror
united the Seven Kingdoms
308
00:27:28,814 --> 00:27:30,649
and put them on a path...
309
00:27:31,484 --> 00:27:32,777
Ser Criston.
310
00:28:20,783 --> 00:28:22,344
- Fetch the Maester!
- Get back.
311
00:28:22,368 --> 00:28:24,036
Get Mellos! Get back!
312
00:28:24,120 --> 00:28:25,800
Prepare the crucible.
313
00:28:26,997 --> 00:28:28,666
We'll need leeches.
314
00:28:32,670 --> 00:28:34,004
Ser Criston...
315
00:28:35,423 --> 00:28:38,259
you've been summoned.
316
00:28:38,342 --> 00:28:40,511
I left the Princess
just minutes ago.
317
00:28:41,345 --> 00:28:42,930
Not the Princess, ser.
318
00:28:43,681 --> 00:28:44,890
The Queen.
319
00:28:59,655 --> 00:29:01,282
Ser Criston, Your Grace.
320
00:29:05,494 --> 00:29:06,734
That will be all.
321
00:29:20,259 --> 00:29:22,052
I fear I must question you on a,
322
00:29:22,136 --> 00:29:24,054
on a delicate matter,
Ser Criston.
323
00:29:27,183 --> 00:29:29,351
I am your servant
as always, my Queen.
324
00:29:30,853 --> 00:29:33,063
It concerns our dear
Princess Rhaenyra.
325
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,485
Please.
326
00:30:00,841 --> 00:30:04,929
You are her sworn protector
and rightly loyal to her.
327
00:30:06,055 --> 00:30:09,099
I am.
328
00:30:10,684 --> 00:30:13,604
The night of Daemon's return...
329
00:30:15,397 --> 00:30:17,900
there's been a rumor...
330
00:30:17,983 --> 00:30:23,447
or rather, my father
received an accounting of...
331
00:30:25,157 --> 00:30:27,576
a lapse of morals
332
00:30:27,660 --> 00:30:30,788
that may have occurred between...
333
00:30:34,708 --> 00:30:36,252
It is, of course,
unthinkable for me
334
00:30:36,335 --> 00:30:37,962
to question the virtue
of the Princess,
335
00:30:38,045 --> 00:30:40,005
whom I hold in highest regard,
336
00:30:40,089 --> 00:30:44,426
but, I-I, I did,
however, wonder if...
337
00:30:50,891 --> 00:30:54,812
I'm not unaware that
in flush of youth...
338
00:30:55,938 --> 00:30:57,606
there may be errors made...
339
00:30:58,941 --> 00:31:01,569
breaches in resolve,
340
00:31:01,652 --> 00:31:04,655
- breaches, or rather lapses...
- It happened, Your Grace.
341
00:31:09,368 --> 00:31:12,246
The sin you allude to.
342
00:31:14,456 --> 00:31:16,709
I have committed it.
343
00:31:20,504 --> 00:31:23,465
At her instigation,
it is true, but that should...
344
00:31:24,633 --> 00:31:26,218
It is no excuse.
345
00:31:29,221 --> 00:31:31,682
My oath has been broken.
346
00:31:31,765 --> 00:31:33,434
I have dishonored myself.
347
00:31:35,144 --> 00:31:37,021
I deserve no consideration.
348
00:31:40,441 --> 00:31:42,484
But if...
349
00:31:43,569 --> 00:31:46,071
as a clement Queen,
350
00:31:46,155 --> 00:31:48,032
you are inclined to pity...
351
00:31:48,699 --> 00:31:51,035
I would ask only this...
352
00:31:53,537 --> 00:31:56,332
that rather than gelding me
353
00:31:56,415 --> 00:31:59,168
and having me tortured...
354
00:31:59,251 --> 00:32:02,254
you would sentence me
mercifully to death.
355
00:32:17,895 --> 00:32:20,564
Thank you for your honesty,
Ser Criston.
356
00:32:30,282 --> 00:32:31,867
You may go.
357
00:33:02,690 --> 00:33:06,860
Rest now, Your
Grace. I will bring the leeches.
358
00:33:06,944 --> 00:33:08,987
If I may, Grand Maester,
359
00:33:09,071 --> 00:33:12,700
I took the liberty
of preparing a fresh set
360
00:33:12,783 --> 00:33:16,912
of herbal poultices that
might be more... effective.
361
00:33:16,995 --> 00:33:19,415
That will not
be necessary, Orwyle.
362
00:33:19,498 --> 00:33:23,001
The leechings have always
brought His Grace relief.
363
00:33:42,146 --> 00:33:44,022
To help him sleep.
364
00:33:54,700 --> 00:33:55,951
Where's the Queen?
365
00:33:56,034 --> 00:33:59,538
I was given to understand
366
00:33:59,621 --> 00:34:01,790
that she is otherwise
occupied, Your Grace.
367
00:34:22,060 --> 00:34:24,271
Will I be remembered
as a good king, Lyonel?
368
00:34:25,481 --> 00:34:28,567
Your Grace?
369
00:34:28,650 --> 00:34:32,988
What will they say of me
when the histories are written?
370
00:34:33,071 --> 00:34:34,865
I have neither
fought nor conquered,
371
00:34:34,948 --> 00:34:37,993
nor suffered any great defeat.
372
00:34:40,078 --> 00:34:42,706
Some might call that
good fortune.
373
00:34:45,167 --> 00:34:48,170
It hardly makes
a good song, does it?
374
00:34:48,253 --> 00:34:51,173
To be sung at feasts
in a hundred years...
375
00:34:51,256 --> 00:34:52,841
five hundred.
376
00:34:55,302 --> 00:34:59,056
You have carried
King Jaehaerys's legacy.
377
00:34:59,139 --> 00:35:01,934
And kept the realm strong.
378
00:35:02,017 --> 00:35:04,520
Is it not better
to live in peace
379
00:35:04,603 --> 00:35:07,523
than to have songs
sung after you are dead?
380
00:35:07,940 --> 00:35:09,942
Perhaps.
381
00:35:11,652 --> 00:35:14,655
But there is a part of me
wishes I'd been tested.
382
00:35:16,073 --> 00:35:18,867
I often think that
in the crucible,
383
00:35:18,951 --> 00:35:21,411
I may have been forged
a different man.
384
00:35:23,455 --> 00:35:25,874
Many that are tested,
385
00:35:25,958 --> 00:35:27,918
only wish
to have been spared it.
386
00:35:29,294 --> 00:35:32,130
Another lord might assure me
that I would rise like
387
00:35:32,214 --> 00:35:34,091
Aegon the Conqueror
given the chance.
388
00:35:34,174 --> 00:35:37,261
- Your Grace, that is...
- You're right.
389
00:35:37,344 --> 00:35:40,222
You're right... as always.
390
00:35:42,975 --> 00:35:45,644
It is perhaps best not to know.
391
00:36:33,358 --> 00:36:35,277
It is with great pleasure
392
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,780
that His Grace, King Viserys,
announces the start
393
00:36:38,864 --> 00:36:41,366
of the royal wedding
celebrations.
394
00:36:43,327 --> 00:36:46,788
House Lannister with their lord,
Jason Lannister.
395
00:36:46,872 --> 00:36:48,874
Lord Paramount of the West,
396
00:36:48,957 --> 00:36:51,919
and Master of Casterly Rock.
397
00:36:53,045 --> 00:36:54,713
House Hightower
398
00:36:54,796 --> 00:36:56,757
with their lord,
Hobert Hightower.
399
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,885
Beacon of the South,
Defender of the Citadel,
400
00:36:59,968 --> 00:37:01,595
the Voice of Oldtown...
401
00:37:14,107 --> 00:37:16,026
Congratulations, Your Grace.
402
00:37:16,109 --> 00:37:18,445
You have made a fine match
for the Princess.
403
00:37:18,528 --> 00:37:19,446
Thank you, Lord Jason.
404
00:37:19,529 --> 00:37:21,369
I could think of no better
man than Ser Laenor.
405
00:37:21,406 --> 00:37:26,328
Well... if this
is only the welcome feast,
406
00:37:26,411 --> 00:37:29,998
I admit, I cannot imagine what you
might have planned for the wedding.
407
00:37:30,082 --> 00:37:33,377
Well, my daughter
is the future queen.
408
00:37:33,460 --> 00:37:36,213
I wanted this to be
a wedding for the histories.
409
00:37:37,756 --> 00:37:39,174
Where is the Queen?
410
00:37:39,257 --> 00:37:41,176
I had hoped to pay my respects.
411
00:37:43,011 --> 00:37:47,224
I understand the Queen is still
readying herself for the celebrations.
412
00:37:47,307 --> 00:37:49,351
This is why men wage war...
413
00:37:49,434 --> 00:37:52,729
because women would never
be ready for the battle in time.
414
00:37:57,985 --> 00:38:00,696
Your presence is always
such a pleasure, Lord Jason.
415
00:38:00,779 --> 00:38:03,448
Princess...
Your Grace.
416
00:38:13,792 --> 00:38:15,877
Your Grace, Princess Rhaenyra,
417
00:38:15,961 --> 00:38:18,714
congratulations are in order.
418
00:38:18,797 --> 00:38:21,633
We are very honored to have
you as a guest, Ser Gerold.
419
00:38:21,717 --> 00:38:23,635
I must say,
I was most distressed
420
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:27,472
to hear of the Lady Rhea's
tragic passing.
421
00:38:27,556 --> 00:38:29,224
I'm very sorry for your loss.
422
00:38:29,307 --> 00:38:31,202
Lady
Rhea was a unique character.
423
00:38:31,226 --> 00:38:35,397
Her kind... is not
soon to be seen again.
424
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,442
If there is anything the crown
might do to aid House Royce...
425
00:38:46,825 --> 00:38:49,828
Lord Corlys of House Velaryon.
426
00:38:49,911 --> 00:38:52,831
Lord of the Tides,
Master of Driftmark.
427
00:38:52,914 --> 00:38:56,251
And his lady wife,
Princess Rhaenys Targaryen.
428
00:38:56,335 --> 00:38:59,755
And their son and heir,
Ser Laenor Velaryon,
429
00:38:59,838 --> 00:39:02,716
the future king consort.
430
00:39:44,007 --> 00:39:45,300
- My Betrothed.
- My Betrothed.
431
00:41:09,801 --> 00:41:10,594
Be welcome,
432
00:41:10,677 --> 00:41:13,847
as we join together
in celebration.
433
00:41:15,265 --> 00:41:16,892
Tonight is only its beginning.
434
00:41:17,809 --> 00:41:20,270
We honor the crown's oldest
435
00:41:20,353 --> 00:41:23,481
and fiercest ally,
House Velaryon.
436
00:41:26,151 --> 00:41:28,069
Reaching back
to the days of Old Valyria
437
00:41:28,153 --> 00:41:31,323
and the Age of Dragons.
438
00:41:32,991 --> 00:41:35,911
With House Targaryen and H...
439
00:42:14,824 --> 00:42:16,451
The King will not be happy.
440
00:42:16,534 --> 00:42:18,662
Right in the midst
of his speech.
441
00:42:30,006 --> 00:42:32,259
The beacon on the Hightower,
442
00:42:32,342 --> 00:42:33,718
do you know what color it glows
443
00:42:33,802 --> 00:42:36,304
when Oldtown calls
its banners to war?
444
00:42:37,180 --> 00:42:39,975
Green.
445
00:42:49,317 --> 00:42:52,988
Congratulations, stepdaughter.
446
00:42:53,071 --> 00:42:54,948
What a blessing this is for you.
447
00:43:06,042 --> 00:43:08,295
Please be seated.
448
00:43:17,429 --> 00:43:18,805
Where was I?
449
00:43:18,888 --> 00:43:20,849
The joining of the two
houses, Your Grace.
450
00:43:20,932 --> 00:43:22,809
Yeah.
451
00:43:23,143 --> 00:43:24,894
Yes.
452
00:43:30,692 --> 00:43:32,193
With House Targaryen
453
00:43:32,277 --> 00:43:36,364
and House Velaryon united,
454
00:43:36,448 --> 00:43:40,410
I hope to herald in
a second Age of Dragons
455
00:43:40,493 --> 00:43:41,703
in Westeros.
456
00:43:51,671 --> 00:43:56,259
And after
tonight's small affair...
457
00:43:58,094 --> 00:44:00,555
seven days of tournament
and feasting.
458
00:44:04,684 --> 00:44:06,269
At the end of it all...
459
00:44:07,312 --> 00:44:10,774
At the end of it all,
a royal wedding...
460
00:44:11,733 --> 00:44:13,360
between my daughter,
461
00:44:14,194 --> 00:44:15,487
my heir...
462
00:44:16,112 --> 00:44:18,573
your future Queen...
463
00:44:18,656 --> 00:44:22,786
and Ser Laenor Velaryon,
the heir to Driftmark.
464
00:45:15,380 --> 00:45:16,900
I was never much of a dancer.
465
00:45:16,965 --> 00:45:18,341
It's not much
different to combat.
466
00:45:18,425 --> 00:45:20,760
Hm, I shall hope
for a different outcome.
467
00:45:52,083 --> 00:45:53,543
Ah!
468
00:46:34,792 --> 00:46:38,046
- Your Grace.
- We thank you for coming, uncle.
469
00:46:38,129 --> 00:46:40,715
I worried that given leave
of your father's shadow,
470
00:46:40,798 --> 00:46:43,218
you might wither
in King's Landing's sun.
471
00:46:43,301 --> 00:46:46,179
But you stood tall.
472
00:46:47,472 --> 00:46:48,932
Know that Oldtown
stands with you.
473
00:47:16,459 --> 00:47:18,086
In the Vale,
474
00:47:18,169 --> 00:47:21,130
men are made to answer
for their crimes.
475
00:47:23,132 --> 00:47:25,260
Even Targaryens.
476
00:47:25,343 --> 00:47:25,927
Who are you?
477
00:47:26,010 --> 00:47:29,430
Ser Gerold Royce of Runestone.
478
00:47:31,140 --> 00:47:32,600
And?
479
00:47:41,359 --> 00:47:44,904
I am cousin
to your late lady wife.
480
00:47:44,988 --> 00:47:48,032
Ahh, yes. Terrible thing.
481
00:47:48,116 --> 00:47:51,536
I'm positively bereft.
Such a tragic accident.
482
00:47:51,619 --> 00:47:54,622
You know better than anyone,
it was no accident.
483
00:47:54,706 --> 00:47:56,457
Are you confessing
some guilt, Ser Gerold?
484
00:47:56,541 --> 00:47:59,460
I am making an accusation.
485
00:48:01,713 --> 00:48:03,214
You know, in King's Landing,
486
00:48:03,298 --> 00:48:05,466
men are made to answer
for their slanders.
487
00:48:05,550 --> 00:48:07,427
Even old bronze cunts like you.
488
00:48:09,971 --> 00:48:11,347
The truth is,
I'm glad you've come.
489
00:48:11,431 --> 00:48:13,975
I wish to speak to you
about my inheritance.
490
00:48:14,058 --> 00:48:17,979
- What inheritance?
- Lady Rhea and I had no heirs.
491
00:48:18,062 --> 00:48:21,065
As her husband, whatever
she was due now passes to me.
492
00:48:22,900 --> 00:48:27,280
She stood to inherit all of
Runestone... Did she not?
493
00:48:30,908 --> 00:48:32,952
After my niece's wedding,
I plan to fly to the Eyrie
494
00:48:33,036 --> 00:48:34,662
and petition Lady Jeyne myself.
495
00:48:34,746 --> 00:48:36,998
Perhaps I'll see you there,
Ser Gerold.
496
00:49:50,655 --> 00:49:54,158
Has anybody ever told you you're
nearly as pretty as your brother?
497
00:49:54,242 --> 00:49:56,494
Well, you flatter me, my Prince.
498
00:49:56,577 --> 00:50:00,164
- I was sorry to hear about your lady wife.
- Don't be, I wasn't.
499
00:50:00,248 --> 00:50:01,833
My lady was never
very kind to me.
500
00:50:01,916 --> 00:50:04,419
- I know who it is.
- Hm?
501
00:50:04,502 --> 00:50:06,587
The handsome paramour.
502
00:50:06,671 --> 00:50:07,714
Who?
503
00:50:08,506 --> 00:50:10,967
Ser Criston Cole.
504
00:50:11,050 --> 00:50:14,137
- Her sworn protector?
- Look at him.
505
00:50:14,220 --> 00:50:17,056
The man is fully cunt-struck.
506
00:50:17,140 --> 00:50:18,975
A Targaryen prince,
507
00:50:19,058 --> 00:50:21,185
a dashing knight,
and a dragonrider.
508
00:50:21,269 --> 00:50:22,913
You appear to be every
young maiden's dream.
509
00:50:22,937 --> 00:50:25,106
That's only because
you don't know me yet.
510
00:50:25,189 --> 00:50:27,470
I believe Ser Criston has
bloodied that white cloak of his
511
00:50:27,525 --> 00:50:29,861
- with your bride's maidenhead.
- Oh, keep your voice down.
512
00:50:29,944 --> 00:50:33,197
- Perhaps that is something we might remedy, my Prince.
- Perhaps it is.
513
00:50:34,866 --> 00:50:37,994
This is a good thing.
She knows your secret...
514
00:50:38,077 --> 00:50:39,871
and now you know hers.
515
00:50:45,793 --> 00:50:47,211
Hey!
516
00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:54,969
Hey!
517
00:50:56,804 --> 00:50:59,849
Hey!
518
00:51:03,895 --> 00:51:05,229
Hey!
519
00:51:07,231 --> 00:51:10,276
Hey!
520
00:51:10,526 --> 00:51:12,487
They make a handsome match,
don't they?
521
00:51:13,362 --> 00:51:15,490
What?
522
00:51:15,573 --> 00:51:17,450
Well, the Princess
and Ser Laenor.
523
00:51:20,578 --> 00:51:21,913
Hey!
524
00:51:27,084 --> 00:51:29,670
Ser Joffrey Lonmouth,
525
00:51:29,754 --> 00:51:30,671
or the Knight of Kisses,
they call me,
526
00:51:30,755 --> 00:51:34,675
though I don't know why.
527
00:51:34,759 --> 00:51:36,385
I'm on watch.
What's your business?
528
00:51:36,469 --> 00:51:39,055
You don't know me, Ser Criston.
529
00:51:39,138 --> 00:51:40,657
But we are both deeply
invested in this union.
530
00:51:40,681 --> 00:51:42,225
Hey!
531
00:51:44,727 --> 00:51:47,855
If you have
something to say, Ser Joffrey, speak it.
532
00:51:47,939 --> 00:51:50,107
Ser Laenor is quite dear to me.
533
00:51:51,150 --> 00:51:54,320
As I know...
the Princess is to you.
534
00:51:56,322 --> 00:51:58,783
We should swear
to each other to guard them,
535
00:51:58,866 --> 00:52:00,660
and their secrets,
536
00:52:00,743 --> 00:52:02,495
because if those
are kept safe...
537
00:52:05,164 --> 00:52:06,249
then so are we all.
538
00:52:26,644 --> 00:52:28,688
Hey!
539
00:52:30,690 --> 00:52:32,191
Hey!
540
00:52:35,403 --> 00:52:36,737
Hey!
541
00:52:50,668 --> 00:52:53,713
- May I, Ser Harwin?
- Of course, my Prince.
542
00:53:57,568 --> 00:54:00,655
Hey!
543
00:54:12,083 --> 00:54:13,793
What in the Seven Hells
is going on?
544
00:54:13,876 --> 00:54:16,212
Laenor!
545
00:54:51,497 --> 00:54:53,457
- Stop this!
- Where's Rhaenyra?
546
00:55:13,811 --> 00:55:15,521
Princess?
547
00:55:26,365 --> 00:55:27,992
Put me down!
548
00:56:21,087 --> 00:56:24,423
The love of
the Seven is holy and eternal.
549
00:56:26,175 --> 00:56:28,302
The source of life and love.
550
00:56:30,721 --> 00:56:35,017
We stand here tonight
in thanks and praise
551
00:56:35,101 --> 00:56:38,771
to join two souls as one.
552
00:56:43,734 --> 00:56:45,236
Father...
553
00:56:46,779 --> 00:56:49,115
Mother...
554
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:52,535
Warrior...
555
00:56:53,744 --> 00:56:56,413
Smith...
556
00:56:56,497 --> 00:56:57,790
Maiden...
557
00:56:58,207 --> 00:57:00,209
Crone...
558
00:57:00,709 --> 00:57:03,754
Stranger.
559
00:57:04,338 --> 00:57:06,966
Hear now their vows.
560
00:57:08,676 --> 00:57:11,595
I am yours and you are mine.
561
00:57:14,390 --> 00:57:16,225
Whatever may come.
562
00:57:18,352 --> 00:57:21,564
I am yours and you are mine.
563
00:57:22,690 --> 00:57:24,692
Whatever may come.
564
00:57:24,775 --> 00:57:29,196
Here, in the
presence of gods and men,
565
00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:30,865
I proclaim...
566
00:57:32,283 --> 00:57:34,952
Laenor of House Velaryon...
567
00:57:36,162 --> 00:57:40,541
Rhaenyra of House Targaryen,
568
00:57:40,624 --> 00:57:42,459
to be man and wife.
569
00:57:46,130 --> 00:57:48,257
One flesh...
570
00:57:48,966 --> 00:57:50,551
one heart...
571
00:57:51,635 --> 00:57:53,262
one soul...
572
00:57:53,971 --> 00:57:58,058
now and forever.
573
00:57:58,142 --> 00:58:00,269
Ser Criston.
