A scene from “Unfinished Business”

Rhaenyra: The way they spoke at my small council today.

Mysaria: Do they hold you responsible for Rhaenys and her dragon?

Rhaenyra: I would rather they had. They speak around me, not to me. They would make me queen, but they wish to keep me here, confined.

Mysaria: They betray their own smallness.

Rhaenyra: In truth, I cannot fault them. I am now the sovereign. I cannot do as I please. And war has ever been for men to make.

Mysaria: You are your father's chosen successor.

Rhaenyra: He did not prepare me to fight. If I had been a son, a sword thrust into my hand the moment I could walk. Instead, I was given my father's cup, taught the name of every lord and castle between Storm's End and the Twins, but not the difference between hilt and foible. And they know it. And Daemon as well.
