The premiere of “House of the dragon”, chapter 4 by HBO Max, has served to see how popular the prequel story of “Game of thrones” is on social networks. With fans excited about what’s going on with the Targaryens, we also see how the iron throne is still a problem for everyone, And not just for this royal house.
With Rhaenyra looking for a husband, more out of obligation than her own desire, the beginning of the episode lets us see the princess trying to choose one of her suitors, who are more interested in her power than in herself. Tired of seeing them, she decides to return to King’s landing.
The return of Daemon and the scene that caused chaos in the crown
Back home, Rhaenyra sees Daemon (Matt Smith) again. The prince stands before Viserys (Paddy Considine) and bends his knee to offer his brother the Stone Steps as a mark of respect.
Later, Rhaenyra and Daemon talk about how life is different for men and women. While for the prince the marriage is a “political agreement”, for the princess it is a “death sentence”.
Then, after receiving a letter, Rhaenyra leaves the palace and meets Daemon outside the castle. The two walk down Silk Street and the heiress learns how much people prefer Aegon, her half-brother, as king over her.
But the key moment for the two comes when Rhaenyra and Daemon enter a brothel. Here, both talk about love and sex, which is seen in different ways by both. Leaving the place, the princess is almost discovered by a guard, but he does not say anything to her.
upon meeting again, Rhaenyra, fascinated by what she sees, is drawn to Daemon. Both get carried away by passion and kiss. Before they could go any further, the prince leaves her and leaves Silk Street.
Rhaenyra’s Revenge and Farewell to Otto Hightower
Back home, Rhaenyra seduces Criston Cole (Fabien Frankel) and the two spend the night together. The next morning, Viserys is informed by Otto Hightower that the princess and her uncle had been seen in the town’s brothel in a ‘compromising situation for a maiden’. This not only angers the king, but he asks to call his daughter.
After talking and rebuking him for what happened, he reminds him of the story behind the Valyrian steel dagger of Aegon, the conqueror. After this, Viserys gives him a solution to preserve his honor: she will marry Laenor Velaryon.
Rhaenyra accepts, but on one condition: that her father leaves Otto and he is no longer her ‘hand’. She tells him that Hightower is trying to sabotage his way to the throne in order to make his grandson the heir. Also, she informs him about her intrigues and how she was behind Alicent’s visits after Aemma’s death. Viserys overhears her and strips Otto of his post.
