Up until this point, Rhaenyra has quite literally been on an island to herself.
Her loneliness is tangible, and DArcy admits that the kiss with Mysaria is an outlet.
Honestly, I think initially there was just such a desire to connect.

I think what you see initially is intimacy, and an intimacy that Rhaenyra shares so rarely.
This dynamic makes this twist make sense, unlike some other book changes.
Martinshistorical tome leaves much to the imagination since it comes from in-text secondary sources.
The reign of House Targaryen begins with this prequel to the popular HBO seriesGame of Thrones.Based on George R.R. Martin’sFire & Blood,House of the Dragonis set nearly 200 years beforeGame of Thrones, telling the story of the Targaryen civil war with King Viserys.
Some inventions have not always been popular.
Daemon (Matt Smith) has beenstuck at Harrenhal not doing much of anything.
Except for self-pitying and failing at war, which is a direct opposition to Martins book.
For DArcy, however, the Mysaria change makes sense.
Partly from a lack of care: like, people are not concerned about what theyre up to.
And I like trying to investigate what happened between the forgotten pages.
Mysaria appears littleFire & Bloodexcept at Daemons side.
The book posits that she and Daemon continue their romance while referring to Rhaenyras physical appearance in the derogatory.
