The problems begin at Driftmark, six years after Lady Laenas (Nanna Blondell) funeral.
However, his brother, Vaemond, has some different thoughts about the future of Driftmark.
It turns out that King Viserys hasnt been sitting on the Iron Throne a whole lot these days.

But Rhaenyra and Daemon (Matt Smith) arent letting Luke lose Driftmark without a fight.
Listen, say what you will about King Viserys.
He probably deserves it.

Rhaenys has a lot of dogs in this fight.
Perhaps even too many dogs.
The possibilities are endless.

Now, Lord Vaemond must have seen that one coming.
Still, to say he is pissed after hearing the kings verdict would be an understatement.
The man literally loses his head, and I meanliterally.

He turns his rage towards Rhaenyra and her children, calling the boys bastards and their mother a whore.
Tensions are running high inside the Red Keep, and Vaemonds death is just the most obvious example.
Its an oddly pleasant and touching scene for theGame of Thronesuniverse.
Everyone just looks so happy… until, of course, the king leaves.
Thats enough to put an end to the party and prompt Rhaenyra to return to Dragonstone.
Alicent doesn’t understand, believing Viserys to be talking about their son Aegon, at first.
Lord Corlys is out of the picture, and the king might soon be as well.
Theres a lot at stake, even if whats happening on screen isnt all that riveting.
That being said, Paddy Considine and directorGeeta Vasant Pateldeserve to be complimented for that beautiful final scene.
House of the Dragonairs on Sundays on HBO.
