Briarrose welcome!

The world is not as we thought it was. This war is just the beginning. Winter is coming with darkness and doom… I saw it. I saw that we cannot withstand it...and yet, somehow, we must.

House of the Dragon 2x02 Rhaenyra the Cruel I cannot fault him for keeping his oath. 2x05 Regent I did as you asked, Your Grace, I have been faithful.

I sometimes forget how alike you both were.

Day two: Family I promise you, in time, you and I together will prevail.

I grieve my grandmother who loved me but I carry her on with me. I will see Rhaenyra ascend the Iron Throne, as Rhaenys wished. As Rhaenys herself should have. You yourself may do as you see fit.

Some of you may welcome the prospect of change, even death, given the alternatives: privation, starvation, war. This is our purpose, to end those hardships. For you, for your kin, for all the realm. With these two dragons added to our number, the enemy will have no choice but to give way. And peace will be restored, suffering will be ended, and without bloodshed, gods willing.

If I may, Your Grace…this becomes you.

Here is the hard truth, which no one else has the heart to tell you. Men would sooner put the realm to the torch than see a woman ascend the Iron Throne.
