What Rhaenyra’s High Valyrian Comments To Daemon Really Mean
Daemon’s insecurities, guilt, and resentments are highlighted in Young Rhaenyra’s speech
Rhaenyra ’s High Valyrian dialogue is conjured from Daemon ’s judgment as a projection of his guilty conscience and invidia , which amply took form when Rhaenyra was at the agewhen Milly Alcock portray her inHouse of the Dragonseason 1.This is also the years at which Daemon had the most influence over Rhaenyra , as it was when he helped set her on a path that would both parent up and condemn her through treachery and selfish desires . Consequently , when these harsh speech , said in the speech communication that aided the preclude , intimate nature of their conversations and interactions , do from Young Rhaenyra ’s mouth , Daemon sees his wrongs with more clarity and pain .
WhenDaemon seduced Young Rhaenyraat a Flea Bottom brothel and abandoned her there , he know that it would appeal disconfirming attention that could ruin her name . Ultimately , it did . That moment “ endue [ her ] competition ” like Otto Hightower , “ sullied [ her ] name at court ” by break her report , and“tried to make [ her ] ruin ” by nearly having her disinherit by Viserys . Then , Daemon result King ’s Landing altogether , married Laena Velaryon , and forsake Rhaenyra for a decade by fleeing to Pentos , pass on her to resist for herself alone while the Greens conspired against her .
Aemond Targaryen pee a big , surprising decision in House of the Dragon season 2 , episode 4 , which will have a major impact on the show ’s future .
Daemon ’s actions avail turn Rhaenyra into the womanhood who begrudge and is unable to trust him , who no longer admires and idolizes him , and who ride as the rightful heritor to the Iron Throne instead of him . While Daemon arguably married Rhaenyra and put her on the Iron Throne for selfish intent as a proxy for giving himself the crown and feeling that her power is his own , he’ll always hate her at some level because he ’s not the one who really assume the crown , sits the throne , and has the title of sovereign . Which , truly , is because Viserys fuck and trusted Rhaenyra more than him – the one thing Daemon always wanted above all else .
Daemon ’s actions helped twist Rhaenyra into the woman who resents and is ineffectual to trust him , who no longer admires and idolise him , and who sit as the lawful inheritor to the Iron toilet instead of him .
Why Daemon Beheads Milly Alcock’s Rhaenyra
Daemon unsuccessfully tries to stop what he created
Ultimately , Daemon ’s greatest great power inHouse of the Dragonis his skills as a dragonrider and warrior . Daemon knows that everything Young Rhaenyra says in High Valyrian is true , so he fights back against his vision of her in the only mode he recognize how : with his steel . Daemon beheads Young Rhaenyra to keep her from saying more of the true , abrasive wordsthat cut him so profoundly in that moment . But , with Young Rhaenyra ’s severed head continuing to talk to him inHouse of the Dragon ’s sequence , it ’s clear that defeat her wo n’t stop these touch and sentiment from being unfeigned .
He can retain to resent her for what he believes she stole from him , but not even in his visual sense can Daemon behead Milly Alcock ’s Rhaenyra and stop her from becoming the Queen that he helped her become .
While only in a vision , Daemon must also realize thatkilling Rhaenyra is the only mode he could take up his own claim to the Iron ThroneinHouse of the Dragon . However , it still would n’t reach what he wants if he were to bolt down her . He knows deep down that , for the samereasons Viserys never enjoin Daemon about Aegon ’s dreamor named him heritor , he would n’t make as good of a ruler as Rhaenyra . He can remain to begrudge her for what he believe she steal from him , but not even in his vision can Daemon behead Milly Alcock ’s Rhaenyra and stop her from becoming the Queen that he helped her become .
