A scene from “Unfinished Business”

Rhaenys: Viserys is dead. I grieve this loss with you, Rhaenyra. My cousin, your father, possessed a kind heart. [pause] There is more. Aegon has been crowned as his successor.

Rhaenyra: They crowned him?

Daemon: How did Viserys die?

Rhaenys: I could not say.

Rhaenyra: How long ago?

Rhaenys: A day past, perhaps two. I was made a prisoner in my quarters while the Queen made her preparations.

Daemon: Viserys has been slain!

Rhaenyra: Alicent demanded you declare for Aegon?

Rhaenys: She did. I refused her.

Daemon: And yet you are alive.

Rhaenys: The High Septon crowned Aegon in the Dragonpit. I witnessed it myself just before I fled on Meleys.

Rhaenyra: They crowned him before the masses?

Rhaenys: So that the masses would see him as their rightful king.

Daemon: That whore of a Queen murdered my brother and stole his throne, and you could have burnt them all for it!

Rhaenys: A war is like to be fought over this treachery, to be sure, but that war is not mine to begin. I only rushed this warning to you out of loyalty to my husband and to my House. The Greens are coming for you, Rhaenyra, and your children.
