The repercussions are felt immediately, as often happens when these kinds of nights transform into day. It’s going to be a passionate night with complicated repercussions, to say the least. Here, it would seem she’s found that match in Ser Criston, though his vows as part of the Kingsguard mean he cannot take a wife, let alone share a bed with the princess of Westeros he’s sworn to protect. A year earlier, King Viserys told Rhaenyra to find her own match. The princess and her knight begin by kissing, reluctantly at first, before disrobing, and then… well, not disappearing. Liberated by her evening activities, Rhaenyra again takes what she wants-and more to the point, who she wants: Criston. At least, Daemon vanishes, drunkenly wandering off into the night, with a mystified Rhaenyra left alone to find her way back to the Red Keep-a plight she manages, albeit not unseen.Īmong those who see Rhaenyra: Ser Criston Cole ( Fabien Frankel) of the Kingsguard, who has been guarding the princess’s quarters all night long… only to find that she’s been out, all night long. It’s one thing to hear about the Targaryen tradition of coupling within the family, but another to see it in action, as uncle and niece begin by kissing, reluctantly at first, before disrobing, and then… disappearing. It continues, as Daemon brings Rhaenyra to one final stop on his tour through King’s Landing: a pleasure house on the Street of Silk, “where people come to take what they want.” Surrounded by dozens of individuals in varying stages of undress (not to mention varying positions and permutations while undressed), Daemon and Rhaenyra take what they want: each other. Here, hiding in plain sight within a rowdy crowd, the heir apparent learns she’s apparently only “the realm’s delight” to a point-and that point stops just short of the throne.īut the night doesn’t stop there.
But none of these men are up to her High Valyrian standards, certainly not the boys fighting to the literal death for her favor.Īlas, even now, the heir of it all hangs heavy in the air, as Rhaenyra and Daemon wind up watching a street performance that crudely conveys the King’s perceived dilemma of who will succeed him on the Iron Throne, his public and private promises regarding Rhaenyra’s ascension notwithstanding. In this time, Rhaenyra has weathered several would-be husbands seeking her hand in marriage, finally landing at Storm’s End, the seat of House Baratheon. We’re once again vaulted further along the timeline, a year or so on from Aegon’s second name day. She is “Boy,” over and over, undercover and unrecognizable, barely even Rhaenyra-right until daylight comes calling.ĭirected by Claire Kilner, House of the Dragon’s fourth episode, “King of the Narrow Sea,” refocuses the story on two royals bound by blood, their eyes on the throne-and on each other. For one long night only, the Princess of Westeros isn’t “the realm’s delight.” She’s not the controversial heir to the Iron Throne. Street performers dance with fire, some walking tightropes overhead, strangers making love just barely out of sight.
