It is a decision that definitely needed to be made.
Now that she claims to be ready for it, it might just be too late.
As the queen herself puts it, she inherited a peaceful realm from her father.
Indeed, Rhaenyra had her reasons.
Alas, that doesn’t mean that she wasn’t naive.
The show makes Rook’s Rest even better with one decisive addition to the prince’s character.
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.
Secondly,from the moment Aegon sat on that throne, the war was already in motion.
It doesn’t matter anymore whether King Viserys might have changed his mind.
Daemon isn’t the only general that Rhaenyra has lost control over.
But the battle from which Rhaenyra most emerged injured was forthe hearts and minds of the smallfolk.
Unlike Rhaenyra, Alicent and the Greens took no time to mourn.
Is There Still Hope for Rhaenyra in ‘House of the Dragon’?
Currently, Rhaenyra finds herself losing on all fronts.
Instead, she decided to give peace a chance, which ended up costing her dearly.
Maybe this is enough to cause some instability in the realm that Rhaenyra might be able to exploit.
There is still hope for Rhaenyra, but things sure aren’t looking pretty.
Oh, and also thatthere’s no point in trying to avoid a war that has already started.
