House of the Dragon · Season 1, Episode 15

A scene from “Unfinished Business”

Otto: Princess Rhaenyra.

Rhaenyra: I'm Queen Rhaenyra now, and you are all traitors to the realm.

Otto: King Aegon Targaryen, Second of His Name, in his wisdom and desire for peace, is offering terms. Acknowledge Aegon as King and swear obeisance before the Iron Throne. In exchange, His Grace will confirm your possession of Dragonstone. It will pass to your trueborn son, Jacaerys, upon your death. Lucerys will be confirmed as the legitimate heir to Driftmark and all the lands and holdings of House Velaryon. Your sons by Prince Daemon will be given places of high honour at court; Aegon the Younger as the King's squire, Viserys as his cupbearer. Finally, the King, in his good grace, will pardon any knight or lord who conspired against his ascent.

Daemon: I would rather feed my sons to the dragons than have them carry shields and cups for your drunken usurper cunt of a king!

Otto: Aegon Targaryen sits the Iron Throne. He wears the Conqueror's crown, wields the Conqueror's sword, has the Conqueror's name. He was anointed by a septon of the Faith before the eyes of thousands. Every symbol of legitimacy belongs to him. And then there is Stark, Tully, Baratheon. Houses that have also received, and are at present, considering generous terms from their king.

Rhaenyra: Stark, Tully and Baratheon all swore to me when King Viserys named me his heir.

Otto: Stale oaths will not put you upon the Iron Throne, Princess. The succession changed the day your father sired a son. I only regret you and he were the last to see the truth of it...

Rhaenyra: [removes and discards Otto's Hand badge] You are no more Hand than Aegon is King, fucking traitor!
