Chapter 10: "The Black Queen"

- drift mark -

.there you are

?The sea snake is going to die, isn't it?

Luke...
- I can't be the tide lord

.Grandpa was the greatest sailor who ever lived

I get seasick even before
the ship leaves the port

I will destroy everything

.I don't want drift mark

Sir Raymond should
have got the place



We don't choose our
fate, Luke. It chooses us

Grandpa let you choose
if you will be his heir

.that's what you told us

?You want to know the truth

.I was afraid

I was 14, like you now

I was not ready to be the
queen of the seven kingdoms

But it was my duty

And over time I realized that
I had to earn my inheritance

I'm not like you

?In what respect, sweet boy

...I'm not like that

.perfect

I am far from perfect



My father took care of me and
helped prepare me to fulfill my duties

.your mother will do the same for you

.Good morning princess

.Good morning, Sir Laurent

Princess Hyaenas arrived
on the back of a dragon

She urgently requests a meeting
with you and Prince Damon

Princess Hyaenas Targaryen.
Thank you, Sir Laurent-

Princess Hyaenas, have you brought
news of Lord Coriolis’s recovery?

.Servery is dead

I mourn your loss
with you, Rhaenyra

...to my cousin

Your father had a good heart

.that's not all

.Argon was crowned as his successor

?They crowned him

?How did Revisers die?

I don't know

?When

.a day, maybe two days ago

I was locked in my room while
the queen was getting ready

Revisers was murdered

Ali cent demanded that you
swear allegiance to Argon

.indeed

I refused her. - But you're alive

The High Seton crowned
Argon in the Dragon Pit

I saw it with my own eyes
before I ran away from Mails

They crowned him in front of the crowd

.so that the crowd will see him as the rightful king

The harlot queen murdered my
brother and usurped his throne

.and you could burn them all for it

War must be declared because
of this betrayal, without a doubt

But I don't need
to start this war

I hastened to warn you, only out of
loyalty to my husband and my family

The greens are on their way to
you, Rhaenyra , and to your children

.You must leave Dragons tone immediately

The baby is about to be born

Her pregnancy is not over.
This is not supposed to happen

!It's happening, dammit

.Don't lose your temper, princess. come on

.you've done it five times already

Keep calm and the sixth
time will be no different

Leave me alone! they left me

I want tours around the island

Let them look for small
boats that can anchor

If the Greens attack now, it
will be by stealth, not directly

We don't have enough
people to surround the island

But we can create the impression
that we are stronger than them

, recruit the dragon guards.
They are good fighters

Don't waste time

.it will be done, prince

.what was that? -I'm sorry

Don't be so hard on him, prince

So that he learns what
you are trying to teach

Your mother needs to see you

.the two of you

?mother

.damn it

.the princess

.Your grandfather King Naysayers is dead

Revisers?

The Greens denied the will and
claimed the Iron Throne for themselves

.Argon was crowned king

What should be done
about it? Nothing for now-

Where's Damon?

I don't know, he's out of his mind

.went out to plan his war

Leave Damon to me

... Jace

.Jaycees

Whatever claim to the throne
I have left, you are its heir now

Nothing should be done without my command

A crow arrived this morning

The sea serpent recovered
from his illness and he left Ivan pol

Where is he sailing?

Not clear, Prince

We will send crows
to our closest allies

.Lords Drawling, Massey and Bar A mm on

Damon!

Do you want to talk?
With the scholar, the prince

I will fly to Riverrun myself
and secure Lord Tully's support

.you won't

My mother ordered not to take
any action while she was in bed

.good to have you here, young prince

We need you to patrol
the skies on Irma

?Did you hear what I said?

.The Ravens, Lord Barbarous

.I'll take care of it

.Call Sir Step hon

Kings guard. Should
be in Dragoon

Come with me, I'll show
you what real loyalty is

You swore to be knights
in the King's Guard

Like anyone who wears
a white cloak, prince

?whom

I swore for the first time,
to King Jay air is, a prince

and then to his majesty the king
Valparaiso when he succeeded him

Do you know the correct
order of succession?

.Yes. - Yes, the prince

Do you remember who he appointed? King
Budweiser appointed a successor before his death

.Princess Rainier

I thank you for your
long service to the crown

.and therefore I will let you choose

Re-swear allegiance to
Rhaenyra as your queen

.to Prince Jailbreak as heir to the Iron Throne

...or

If you support the
crown prince, say so now

.and die a quick and dignified death

But if you choose betrayal

If you swear allegiance
now, and betray later

Know that you will die. screaming

Princess, let us help you

Get out of here!

.the princess, please

Get out of here!
- You shouldn't be doing this alone, princess

.let us help you

Farewell, brothers

I swear to protect the
queen with all my might

and pour out my blood for her

I will not marry a woman

I will not own the lands

And I won't have children

I will keep her secrets,
I will obey her orders

I will ride by her side and
defend her name and honor

.my queen

Queen Tyranny Targaryen,
the first of her name

The queen of the andals and
the Roynaries and the first Men

The lady of the seven kingdoms
and the garden of the Realem

.your Highness

.wine, my queen

.Thank you, Rhaenyra

Come on

How are we doing?

We have 30 knights, 100
archers and 300 armed men

Dragonstone is easy to defend, but our
army is far from being a conquering army

I sent a message to my confidants in the city guard

I have some support there, but I
don't know how many people it is

We received affidavits
from Tiger and Staunton

Massey, Draklin and Bar Amon

My mother was from the house of Erin

The people of the Bekaa will
not betray the rest of their flesh

The people of Naharan have always been friends,
relatives of your father, Your Highness

With Prince Damon's consent. I
have already sent ravens to Lord Grover

.Lord Grover is fickle and easy to persuade

He must be convinced that our position is strong
and that we will support him if war breaks out

.I will take care of him myself

?What about Storm's Edge Winterfell?

Ben Stark, who forgot
an oath, was not born yet

And the whole North will follow
the footsteps of House Stark

Lord Boros Baratheon must be
reminded of his father's promises

What's the news from Driftmark?

.Lord Corliss sailed to Dragonstone

.to swear allegiance to his queen

Valerion's fleet is under my husband's
control, and he decides where he sails

We will pray for your support and that of your husband

Just as we prayed every night
for the recovery of the sea serpent

There is no port in the narrow sea that
dares to turn Valerion's fleet into an enemy

And our enemies

We have no friends
among the Lannisters

Thailand has served the king's right for
a long time, he will not rise against him

And Otto Hightower.
Needs a Lannister fleet

Without House Lannister, it is unlikely that
we will find allies west of the Gold Tooth

.No

The importance of Naharan is decisive, Your Highness

Forgive me for my
directness, Your Highness

But the talk about
humans is meaningless

You control a force unseen in
the world, from the ancient Valyria

.Dragons

...greens have dragons

They have three adult
dragons by my count

We have Cyrx, Carxis and Miles

Your sons have Virmax,
Arax and Tyrrhexis

.Bayla has Mundenser

Damon, none of our
dragons participated in the war

.There are other dragons without owners

.Sismock is still alive in Driftmark

Wormythor and Silverwing.
Live on Dragonmont

.still no riders

There are also three wild
dragons, all of whom nest here

And who will ride them?

Dragonstone has 13 to their four

I also have 20 eggs
incubating in Dragonmont

We need a gathering place, an outpost
that can accommodate a large force

Here, in Harrenhall, we will cut off the
west and crown Maale a king with the dragons

And we will be able to impale the heads
of all the greens by the end of the month

Your Highness, a ship has been sighted off the coast

A single battleship flying the flag
of a three-headed green dragon

Inform the watchtowers.
Watch the sky

I came in the name of
Queen Dowager Alicent

The mother of King Aegon, second to his name.
Lord and protector of the seven kingdoms

I was ordered to deliver her message
to the ears of Princess Rahinira only

?Where is the princess?

.Princess Rheainira

,I am Queen Rheainira now

.and you all betray the kingdom

King Aegon Targaryen,
second to his name

In his wisdom and his pursuit of peace,
he offers conditions for negotiations

Recognize Aegon as king and
swear to obey the Iron Throne

In return, His Highness will recognize
your ownership of Dragonstone

.that it will pass to your son Jaisreez at your death

Lucris will be recognized as
the legal successor of Driftmark

And all the lands and
property of Beit Valerion

Your sons from Prince Damon will
also gain status and respect in the court

Young Aegon as the
king's vessel bearer

.Viceries will be his air conditioner

And finally, the king in his grace

Yehon every knight and lord
who conspired against his queen

I'd rather my sons
be food for dragons

for carrying shields and goblets of wine

To your freckled king,
the drunken usurper

Aegon Targaryen
sits on the Iron Throne

He wears the conqueror's crown
and wields the conqueror's sword

It is named after the conqueror

And he was anointed king by the hands
of a septon of faith in front of thousands

All the symbols of legitimacy belong to him

And the Starks, Tully and
Baratheon also accepted

And at this time they are considering
accepting generous terms from your king

Stark, Tully and Baratheon
swore allegiance to me

When King Vaisaris
appointed me as heir

Old Shavuot will not seat you
on the Iron Throne, princess

The order of inheritance changed
on the day your father had a son

I only regret that he and you
are the last to understand this

You are not the king's right,
just as Aegon is not the king

.a damned traitor

.a top scholar

?what the hell is this

Queen Alicent has not forgotten the
love that once existed between you

There is no need for bloodshed
to continue peace in the kingdom

Queen Alicent is impatiently
waiting for your answer

She can get her answer now
stuck in her father's mouth

.with his flaccid penis

Let's finish the
horseshoe of this Mockion

Sir Eric, bring me
Lord Hightower

.so that I will have pleasure

.No

My answer will be received by the King tomorrow

It is not easy for humans to kill dragons

But dragons can slay dragons,
and have already done so

That's the simple truth. We
have more dragons than Aegon

Weissries talks a lot about the
history of Valyria, I know it well

When dragons flew to
war. Everything burned

I don't want to rule a
kingdom of ashes and bones

Are you considering accepting
Hightower's terms, Your Highness?

As queen, what is my true duty?
To the kingdom, Lord Bartimus

A promise of peace and unity

Or will I sit on the
Iron Throne? At any cost

.This is your father speaking

My father is dead

...and he chose me to succeed him

To protect the kingdom,
not to start an all-out war

.The enemy has declared war

What are you going to do about it?

Get out of the room

?The possibility of war excites you

You cannot kneel
before the Hightowers

.They took away your birthright

If you could take the iron throne

Without impaling Otto
Hightower's head on a stake

?Would you do that? - You are not angry

Should I declare war?
Because I'm angry

No, because as a queen, it is
your duty to suppress rebellions

You know my oath is
beyond our personal ambitions

A Song of Ice and Fire

?what

The coming war against the darkness
in the north. The conqueror's dream

Viserys told about
it...when he named me heir

My brother was a slave to
prophecies and ominous signs

Everything that created the
appearance of purpose for his weak rule

The dreams did not make us kings

.the dragons did it

.He never told you

?Right

.I beat men who fell asleep on their watch

You are not a man

You abandoned me when
I needed you the most

Our two children were taken from us

I needed you

Beyla and Reyna needed you

And you abandoned us
for more adventures at sea

.as you always did

I had nowhere else to go

I lost everything

.We lost, Corliss

.we

.I realized we have a new king

The stranger casts his
long shadow over this family

Your brother is dead too

He hastened to bury
you and claim your seat

And stood before the king and
denounced Lenor's sons as bastards

.Damon cut his head off for that

Hasty ambition has always been a
weak point of the House of Valerian

.You were right, Rhaenys

I aspired to too much, and in vain

Our ambition is to win the Iron Throne

. is over

We will not support anyone

We will retire to Hightide... and
be content with our grandchildren

.Jace, Luke and Geoff claim the crown

These children will not be
safe as long as Aegon is king

Rahinira shared in the death of our son

This girl destroys
everything she touches

This girl is saving the
kingdom from disaster right now

All the men standing
around the painted table

They implore her to
send the kingdom to war

Rahinira is the only one
who showed restraint

The purpose of war is to fill
cemeteries, dear Lord Staunton

The trick is to bury more of their people
and less of your people in the ground

It is easy for the Lord Commander to
say this from the safety of his fortress

That doesn't mean
it's not true, Tide Lord-

.Lord Corliss and Valrion

His wife, Princess
Rhaenys Targaryen

Gentlemen

.Lord Corliss

What a relief to see you safe and sound

I am very sorry for your father,
princess. He was a good man

Where's Damon?

There are other matters that the
prince is required to take care of

?Your professed allies

.Yes

Too few to win the
war for the throne

We also hope to gain the support of
Erin, Baratheon and Stark's daughters

Hope is an ally of fools

In the veins of the sons of Erin and
Baratheon also flows the blood of my house

.and they all swore allegiance to me

, as the Hightower House
did. If I remember correctly

.as you did, Lord Corliss

Your father's kingdom was a
kingdom of justice and honor

Our houses are connected by
common blood. A common goal

This betrayal by Hightower
must not be accepted

You have the full support
of our navy and home

.your Highness

.It is a great honor, Lord Corliss

.Princess Rhaenys

, but as I said to my flag bearers

I promised my father to see to it that
the kingdom would be strong and united

If war breaks out, it
won't be on my initiative

?You don't intend to act

Caution is not inaction

I would like to know who my
allies are before I send them to war

, I was almost killed at Stepstones Islands

But as a result, we
control them now

This time I made sure to
leave a garrison in the field

Within days there will be a complete
blockade on the shipping lanes

.it may have already started

.The Trinity was defeated. The narrow sea is in our hands

, if we block the pharynx

We will stop all traffic
and sea trade is king

I'll take Miles and
tour the muzzle myself

When we stop all traffic in the narrow sea

, we can crown Maale Melech
and lay siege to the Red Fortress

.and force the greens to surrender

To obtain enough
swords to encircle a king

First we must secure the support of
Winterfell, Hatch, and Storm's Edge

I will prepare the
crows, Your Highness

We need to carry these messages

.Mixed high-flying dragons

.and they are more convincing

Send us

.The prince is right, Your Highness

.Fine

.Prince Jaisreez will fly north

First to the Bekaa to my
mother's cousin, Lady Jane Erin

, and then to Winterfell

Discuss with Lord Cregan Stark
with the support of the North

Prince Lucris will fly
south to the end of a storm

and will meet with
Lord Boros in Areatheon

We must remind
these lords of their vows

.and the price of their violation

They say we are Targaryens

Closer to the gods
than to humans

The Iron Throne may
bring us a little closer

But as servants of the seven kingdoms

We must give an
account to their gods

Go on this mission as
messengers, not as warriors

You will not participate in any fighting

Swear to me now in front of the seven

.I swear

.Thanks

Kergan Stark is closer
to your age than mine

I hope that as men you
will find common interests

.Yes, Your Highness

A short flight away from here

Areatheon blood runs through your veins,
from your grandmother's side, Rhaenys

.And Lord Burros is a very proud man

It is an honor for him to host a
prince of the kingdom and his dragon

I expect you to
receive a warm welcome

.Yes, mother... Your Highness

Get going

.I am Prince Luceris Valerion

I have a message from the Queen to Lord Burros

.Prince Lucris and Valrion

The son of Princess
Rhaenyra Targaryen

, Lord Burros

I have a message from my mother

.the Queen

But earlier today I received
a messenger from the king

?So what do we have, a king or a queen?

It seems that the dragon's
house. I don't know who controls it

What is the message from your mother?

?Where is the damn scholar?

?They remind me of my father's vow

King Aegon. At least he
came to me with an offer

My swords and standard
bearers. For a marriage alliance

If I do what your mother asks

...Which of my daughters will you marry?

?Boy

Sir, I am not available for marriage

I'm already engaged

.So you came empty handed

Come home, puppy

And tell your mother that the master
of the end of the storm is not a dog

that she can whistle at him when
necessary and accuse him of her enemies

I will give your answer
to the Queen, sir

.Fishing rod

.Lord Strong

You really thought you
could fly to the kingdom

Trying to steal my brother's
kingdom? Without paying for it

.I won't fight you

I came as a messenger, not as a warrior

A battle will be a minor challenge

.No

I want you to gouge out your own eye

.as payment for my eyes

One will be enough

I won't blind you

I intend to give it as a gift to my mother

.No

.then you are both a coward and a traitor

not here.
-Give me your eye! Or I'll take it, bastard

!Not in my hall

, the boy came as a messenger

I will not accept
bloodshed under my roof

Return Prince
Lucris to his dragon

.now

Concentrate!

!Watch out, Arax

.cool down

.Listen

Obey

.chicken, Arax

Run away, you bastard

!Hurry up, turn away

You have a debt

!Boy

!No, Arax

!No, Arax, serve me

,no, no, no .No, Vigar, no

No, Weigar, no. Weigar,
no, I served! fly up

!No, Weigar, no! No
