A scene from “Unfinished Business”

Rhaenyra: I do not think I can win this war.

Mysaria: I think you are tired.

Rhaenyra: My own son questions my capabilities. He thinks I need Daemon at my side. And Daemon himself.

Mysaria: He has ever done what suits Daemon.

Rhaenyra: He was everything I wanted to be. Carefree. And dangerous. A man. And I was what he wanted. Cherished by my father and made my father's heir. We were halves of a whole.

Mysaria: He's never been at peace.

Rhaenyra: He wished to possess me, but not to be possessed and to see me take hold, finally, of what he always believed to be his. I fear what he may now do. I fear he may have turned against me.

Mysaria: It is more his way to disappear.

Rhaenyra: In either case, I have lost him and Caraxes with him. Rhaenys and her dragon are dead. I have Syrax and two young beasts. We cannot take on Vhagar alone. And I have no army.

Mysaria: You have the Velaryon fleet and the men who fight in it.

Rhaenyra: It’s not enough. And even if we somehow prevailed, how will I rule a kingdom when my own son doubts me?

Mysaria: You have me.

Rhaenyra: You have my thanks. Truly.

Mysaria: It was my father. I was still a child. He had his pleasure with me. And when, after many months of this, it became evident that his seed had taken root. [points to her groin] There is a scar here as well. I cannot bear children. He left me for dead. But I lived.

Rhaenyra: I'm so sorry.

Mysaria: Swore to myself I would never trust another. And that oath has stood me well. This world is cold and cruel, and there are few in it who are steadfast. You, I think, are steadfast. You have seen me as worthy, as an equal, even. Because of that, I will serve you. I believe you are meant to be queen.
