House of the Dragon Season 3 Episode 3 is all about how getting the Iron Throne doesn’t give you victory. Rhaenyra may control King’s Landing now, but she still doesn’t have any money to keep her court running, any respect from the lords who sided with the Greens, or any rapport with the common folk.
But her biggest problem is with her fellow Targaryens. Aegon is on the run with Larys Strong, and Aemond is plotting from Harrenhal. The only Targaryen with a claim to the throne under her control is Daeron, Alicent’s son, who lived at Oldtown with the Hightowers for most of his life. And even this is too good to be true for Rhaenyra. So where’s the real Daeron? The answer may be hiding in plain sight. Spoilers for House of the Dragon Season 3 Episode 3 ahead.
