Rhaenyra planning strategy with Lord Corlys the SeaSnake & Princess Rhaenys. She dispatched her two sons, Jacaerys (Jace) to the North (Eyrie and Winterfell) and Lucerys (Luke) to the South (Storm's End).
Rhaenys riding Meleys The Red Queen spoiled Aegon's Coronation and flew Dragonstone to warn Queen Rhaenyra of the situation.
While mourning a tragic loss, Rhaenyra tries to hold the realm together, and Daemon prepares for war.
Meleys The Red Queen spared the lives of King Aegon II & his whole family in House of the Dragon
Princess Rhaenys while imprisoned by Queen Alicent Hightower, escaped and approached with her dragon Meleys. She could have roasted the entire family of Otto Hightower, Aemond Targaryen, Helena Targaryen, but she spared their lives by a gesture of mercy and a warning.
Meleys, nicknamed the Red Queen, is a she-dragon ridden by Princess Rhaenys Targaryen. Covered in scarlet scales, she has accents of bright copper. It is her unique coloring for which she received her nickname. In her youth, she is said to have outpaced even Caraxes and Vhagar.

I love how Corlys shifted his gaze to Rhaenys after Rhaenyra said “you honored me”, as if saying it’s not really me who you should be grateful to
-
I love how corlys was proud of jace and luke
-
i love rheanys smile when says she will patrol it herself
-
Rhaenys having convinced Corlys and then saying that she would go to patrol the maw was an act of immense courage, not least because she and meleys would be facing all the existing danger, all the enemy dragons, being so close to kings landing. A formidable warrior.
-
4:23 Right when Rhaenyra says Luke’s name, he stand with confidence to do his duty. They sure make you like these characters.
-
Corly knew that Jace, Joff and Luke would make House Velaryon Strong.
-
Rhaenys realized that if she had support she could had keep the trone that was rightfully hers so she decided to give Rhaenyra the chance she never had is kinda beautiful
-
Jace said send us just like how rhaenyra said when she was young
-
Fun fact : this guy will outlive almost every major player in that room
-
"THERE HAS NEVER LIVED A STARK THAT HAS FORGOT AN OATH!"
-
3:03 I keep coming back to this moment if only because that declaration of "The Narrow Sea is ours" and Ramin blasting the Velaryon theme always gives me chills
-
Lord Corlys of House Velaryon, Lord of the Tides, Master of Driftmark, best character in HOTD
-
Rhaenys sees a lot of her in Rhaenyra as she didn't get to be Queen. I bet she'd always want to back a woman as claimant to the throne no matter what.
-
The face Emma makes at 2:23 is just so full of hope. Makes me feel terrible to know all the tragedies Rhaenerya is about to suffer.
-
When he says the triarchy has been routed, the Narrow sea is ours - THEN THE VELARYON THEME- gives me chills! Team Rhaenyra!!!!
-
I love the subtle details of this scene. Everything down to specifically regarding Luke, Jace, Baela, and Rhaena. The way Luke slightly smiles when he sees Rhaena enter the room. It's sad really, first her dragon passed down by her mother and now her own betrothed is gone because of Aemond, from her point of view understandably. The way everyone straightens themselves when the Velaryon's collectively enter a room. The way Baela smiles when Jace suggests sending them on dragon-back to be more convincing/intimidating. Luke appeared timid immediately when his mother said he would ride to see Boros Baratheon, but Jace knew his brother was fully capable of managing on his own, once again sad, but very endearing knowing Jace and Luke's brotherhood together in their short time. I wonder if in Season 2 we'll get to hear more details about what happened at the Stepstones with Corlys Velaryon. Jace's reaction to hearing his brother had passed as well as Baela and Rhaena's reactions.

0:09 this shot is so badass and I don't even know why
-
2:15 baby girl is so excited 😢😢
-
Awwwwwwww they all look so hopeful, I'm sure each and every one of them are going to live happily ever after...
-
I may be missing something here, but couldn't Rhaenyra have sent Rhaenys to Storm's End instead of Luke? Since she's Borros Baratheon's cousin, wouldn't that make it more likely for him to side with the blacks? Plus, she's a more experienced dragonrider and would have been able to deal with Storm's End weather better than Luke and has more experience with diplomacy
