SeeingMilly Alcock ’s Young Rhaenyracrowned as queen , wearing her Targaryen black colors , and sit on the Iron Throne is initially satisfying as she fulfills the inheritance her sire lend upon her at that age . Of naturally , it deform shocking only here and now later whenDaemon beheads Young Rhaenyra with Dark Sister , though her severed head continues to speak to him in his incubus .

Why Daemon Beheads Milly Alcock’s Rhaenyra In House Of The Dragon Season 2, Episode 4
Daemon attempts to destroy his own creation
In the immediacy of his dream , Daemon decollate Milly Alcock ’s Rhaenyra to shut up her . In High Valyrian , his visualized interlingual rendition of her is cutting him deeply with her words by bringing up how he had created her , he hate her for “ stealing ” his heritage , he exploited and abandoned her when she was an innocent child , and he endeavor to smash her reputation and have her disinherited by Viserys – all because Viserys loved her more than he have intercourse Daemon . Rather than have to confront his guilt feelings and insecurities , Daemon respond the only way he knows how : with his steel .
If he can kill this Rhaenyra in his dream , then maybe he can keep her from becoming the woman who no longer idolize and empowers him , and possibly he can stop himself from failing to incur and become all he ever want .
More thematically , Daemon knows that his visions of Milly Alcock ’s Rhaenyra are n’t real , so he does n’t have to confront the consequences of what he may do to her . InDaemon ’s vision at Harrenhal , he can decapitate Rhaenyra to move out her as the only person sincerely stand in his way of the Iron Throne . That is exactly why Young Rhaenyra ’s severed head sound out , “ This is what you always want , is it not?”Deep down , he always desire her death to get his inheritance back , but still feels guilt and rue when he does so and she continues to haunt him with her words .
While his brother Aemond can talk the language fluently , King Aegon is hardly able to organize a sentence in High Valyrian in House of the Dragon .
In High Valyrian dialogue , Young Rhaenyra also impeach Daemon of helping to create her and put her on the Iron Throne , which he hates her and himself for doing . By beheading Young Rhaenyra in his vision , Daemon tries to halt the thing he create , as he cognize he can no longer hold back Emma D’Arcy ’s Rhaenyra from seeking the Iron Throne and carry the exponent he covets . If he can pour down this Rhaenyra in his dreaming , then perchance he can keep her from becoming the woman who no longer worship and empowers him , and maybe he can stop himself from die to incur and become all he ever desired .
Emma D’Arcy’s Rhaenyra Will Have An Even More Brutal Death
Rhaenyra’s real death is far more disturbing
House of the Dragonseason 2 , sequence 4could very well be Milly Alcock ’s last coming into court as Young Rhaenyraon the HBO show . Therefore , it may be purposeful that her final scene gives her interlingual rendition of Rhaenyra a parallel close to what is expect to be Emma D’Arcy ’s final scene as Queen Rhaenyra . However , D’Arcy ’s Rhaenyra will suffer a far more barbarous last before theDance of the Dragons ' conclusionthan Daemon ’s sight of beheading of Young Rhaenyra , as improbable as that may vocalize .
In George R.R. Martin’sFire & Bloodbook , Rhaenyra Targaryen dies after fleeing from King ’s Landing back to Dragonstone , where her sidekick , Aegon II Targaryen , had secretly been hiding after Rhaenyra make King ’s landing place . Upon her comer , Aegon has Rhaenyra and her boy Aegon the Younger trance before forcefully separating them . Aegon then has his knights place his baby beforehis dragon Sunfyre , who after burns Rhaenyra to death and raven her .

While easy to leave , Rhaenyra ’s torturing death was already spoiled by Joffrey Baratheon inGame of Thronesseason 3 , episode 4 , as he key her fate to Margaery Tyrell while show her where Rhaenyra ’s bones lie :
“ Rhaenyra Targaryen was slay by her blood brother , or rather , his dragon . It ate her while her son see . What ’s left of her is buried in the crypts right down there . ”
When Will Rhaenyra Die In House Of The Dragon?
Rhaenyra’s death could be delayed to HOTD season 4

House of the Dragonis expected to have four or five seasons , but the show may choose to tie out the timeline to break up the death of major character . If Daemon and Aemond go in season 3 ’s ending , then theshow may wait to kill Rhaenyra until former inHouse of the Dragonseason 4 .
