A scene from “Unfinished Business”

[Rhaenyra forces her way into the Grand Sept in King's Landing with her son Joffrey and an armed escort]

High Septon: This is the house of the Seven! No arms are to cross its threshold!

Rhaenyra: The people of King’s Landing gather, seeking to know who is ordained to lead them. You will give them their answer by anointing me for all to see.

High Septon: I have already told you that such is impossible. And now, after Aegon and his dragon have been resurrected, there could be no clearer sign of whom the gods have chosen to rule, Princess.

Rhaenyra: [angered] I am Queen. The old man forgets, I wear my father’s crown and sit his throne… with six dragons at my heel. You will not deny me my right a second time.

High Septon: You may have six dragons, but I have a Seven-faced god. I could not possibly oppose their will.

Rhaenyra: [coldly] Then you name yourself a traitor. [The High Septon looks shocked. Rhaenyra steps back and Alyn advances, hand on his sword hilt]

High Septon: I am the High Septon of the Faith! To harm me is to declare war upon the Starry Sept, to damn your soul to the deepest of the Seven Hells! [Rhaenyra walks over to Alyn]

Rhaenyra: You are the blood of Old Valyria. You answer to higher gods than his. To them, this house is an empty work of brick and stone.
