Game of Thrones is not exactly known for its sweeping love stories, and often when it tries them you get awful nonsense like Jon Snow hooking up with Daenerys Targaryen. In fact, most romances across Thrones and now House of the Dragon are meant to be messed up. Rhaenyra and a guardsman creating bastards posing as trueborns. Viserys marrying his daughter’s best friend when she was little more than a child. Rhaenyra and Daemon getting together despite being uncle and niece. It’s all pretty gross.
However, in the latest episode, viewers witnessed what could be considered one of the most compelling and intimate romances in either series, one that did not rely on incest or explicit scenes to convey its significance. The relationship between Mysaria, the prisoner turned spymaster, and Rhaenyra herself, has been a highlight. Fans have long noted the chemistry between the two characters, and in the recent episode, that chemistry finally culminated in a kiss.
Rhaenyra finds herself in a precarious position, with doubts surrounding her every move, even from her own counselors and son. Feeling abandoned by Daemon, she seeks solace and support, which Mysaria provides in abundance. Mysaria's unwavering belief in Rhaenyra's capabilities as a warrior queen, coupled with the intimacy and respect she offers, creates a bond that has been steadily developing throughout the season.
The unexpected kiss between Mysaria and Rhaenyra was not originally planned but felt like a natural progression of their relationship. The actresses involved have shared insights into the significance of this moment, emphasizing the authenticity of the connection portrayed on screen.
Despite the genuine nature of their bond, the world of Westeros is known for its lack of happy endings. As the story unfolds, it remains to be seen how this newfound romance will impact the characters involved and the larger narrative.
