Part 3/13:
Rhaenyra, now 18, is shown listening to suitors vying for her hand at Storm’s End. Her reception of these marriage proposals is reluctant; she dismisses the older suitor with disdain and mocks the young boy from House Blackwood, highlighting the longstanding Feud with House Bracken. A violent altercation erupts, resulting in the Blackwood boy killing an older lord—a grim reminder of the brutal politics at play.
Kristen Cole escorts Rhaenyra back to King's Landing, and her discontent with her limited agency becomes evident. She expresses her desire for independence, contrasting sharply with the expectations placed upon her as the future queen.
