A scene from “Unfinished Business”

Rhaenyra: Do you accept me as your queen and ruler? Or do you cling, even now, to what you think you lost?

Daemon: What I think I lost?

Rhaenyra: You did not lose it. You gave it away. Because you thought only and ever of your own glory, and not of my father in his grief, who needed you.

Daemon: Your father was a coward who knew I was the stronger son, that I was the leader of men and he was afraid to be seen in my shadow.

Rhaenyra: Is that what you understand of your own brother?

Daemon: Oh, you know him better than I do, who was raised by his side? Do you believe he made you heir because of your great wisdom? Because of your virtue?

Rhaenyra: How dare you...

Daemon: Or did he merely use you as a tool to put me in my place because he was afraid of me? Because he knew your legacy, unlike mine, would never outshine his own.

Rhaenyra: He was not afraid of you, Daemon! He could not trust you any more than I can trust you.

Daemon: He was a fool who sought greatness but shrank from spilling blood to achieve it. And I see you will suffer the same fate.
