Upset by the showdown with her dad, Rhaenyra rides off into the wilderness but is followed by Ser Criston Cole, the knight who she chose as Kingsguard in the last episode. Their combustion is interrupted by Otto Hightower, who informs the king that a white hart stag has been spotted in the woods - a fine portent of Aegon's good fortune. Rhaenyra says she doesn't want to get married, Viserys yells that he's not above tradition and neither is she. "Marriage proposals all, and I have tried often to discuss it with you and you refuse it at every turn."Īt this point the conversation turns into a shouting match, one that the lords and ladies turn their heads to watch. "Since you came of age, I've been slowly drowning in a lake of parchment flung from every corner of the realm," Viserys says, getting increasingly frustrated. She confronts King Viserys in the food hall, asking if all she is to him is a prize to offer the great houses. Rhaenyra immediately understands that her father has surreptitiously matched her with the Lannisters, and she's super not happy about it. "I'd do anything for my queen," he says while gazing into Rhaenyra's eyes. The only thing Lannisport doesn't have, he says, is a dragon pit, though he'd be happy to build one. He introduces himself and offers her wine - then brags about how good the wine of Lannisport is, and how much better Casterly Rock is for hunting than King's Landing. Rhaenyra walks outside to get a breather, and there she stumbles upon Jason Lannister. Hopefully some maesters were brought along to the hunt - because someone needs to treat that sick burn. "And how have you served the realm of late, Lady Redwyne? By eating cake?" Though your father refuses to admit it, we've been dragged into it by your uncle and the Sea Snake." "But the crown is not at war," replies an alarmed Rhaenyra. "Send fleets and men and clear out the triarchy for good." "He's made a mess and the king must put an end to it," says Lady Redwyne of Highgarden.
