00:58:10,656 --> 00:58:12,282 is an illusion. 615 00:58:13,992 --> 00:58:16,995 They're a power man should never have trifled with. 616 00:58:18,455 --> 00:58:20,832 One that brought Valyria its doom. 617 00:58:20,916 --> 00:58:24,503 If we don't mind our own histories, it will do the same to us. 618 00:58:25,045 --> 00:58:27,255 Targaryen must understand this to be King 619 00:58:29,049 --> 00:58:30,050 or Queen. 620 00:58:34,471 --> 00:58:36,098 I'm sorry, Rhaenyra. 621 00:58:37,057 --> 00:58:40,018 I have wasted the years since you were born 622 00:58:40,102 --> 00:58:41,228 wanting for a son. 623 00:58:53,699 --> 00:58:55,784 You are the very best of your mother. 624 00:58:58,912 --> 00:59:01,081 And I believe it, I know she did, 625 00:59:01,164 --> 00:59:03,500 that you could be a great ruling queen. 626 00:59:03,583 --> 00:59:05,293 Daemon is your heir. 627 00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:09,631 Daemon was not made to wear the crown. 628 00:59:10,132 --> 00:59:11,717 But I believe that you were. 629 00:59:12,801 --> 00:59:15,762 Corlys of House Velaryon, 630 00:59:15,846 --> 00:59:19,933 Lord of the Tides and Master of Driftmark. 631 00:59:20,016 --> 00:59:22,519 I, Corlys Velaryon, 632 00:59:23,228 --> 00:59:26,398 Lord of the Tides and Master of Driftmark, 633 00:59:26,481 --> 00:59:28,567 promise to be faithful to King Viserys 634 00:59:28,650 --> 00:59:31,486 and his named heir, the Princess Rhaenyra. 635 00:59:31,570 --> 00:59:32,779 I pledge fealty to them 636 00:59:33,905 --> 00:59:35,824 and shall defend them against all enemies 637 00:59:35,907 --> 00:59:38,535 in good faith and without deceit. 638 00:59:42,873 --> 00:59:45,876 I swear this by the old gods and the new. 639 00:59:48,587 --> 00:59:50,797 This is no trivial gesture, Rhaenyra. 640 00:59:51,298 --> 00:59:53,717 A dragon's saddle is one thing, 641 00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:56,720 but the Iron Throne is the most dangerous seat in the realm. 642 00:59:57,596 --> 00:59:59,556 I, Lord Hobert Hightower, 643 00:59:59,639 --> 01:00:01,975 Beacon of the South, Defender of the Citadel, 644 01:00:02,058 --> 01:00:03,602 and Voice of Oldtown, 645 01:00:03,685 --> 01:00:05,979 promise to be faithful to King Viserys 646 01:00:06,062 --> 01:00:09,649 and his named heir, the Princess Rhaenyra. 647 01:00:12,361 --> 01:00:13,945 I pledge fealty to them 648 01:00:14,029 --> 01:00:15,947 and shall defend them against all enemies 649 01:00:16,031 --> 01:00:18,867 in good faith and without deceit. 650 01:00:19,493 --> 01:00:22,621 I swear this by the old gods and the new. 651 01:00:29,503 --> 01:00:30,921 Give me your hand. 652 01:00:45,519 --> 01:00:47,437 I, Boremund Baratheon, 653 01:00:48,605 --> 01:00:51,817 promise to be faithful to King Viserys. 654 01:00:53,944 --> 01:00:56,947 There's something else that I need to tell you. 655 01:00:57,697 --> 01:00:59,866 It might be difficult for you to understand, 656 01:00:59,950 --> 01:01:01,201 but you must hear it. 657 01:01:02,494 --> 01:01:03,954 Our histories, 658 01:01:04,037 --> 01:01:07,165 they tell us that Aegon looked across the Blackwater from Dragonstone, 659 01:01:07,249 --> 01:01:09,876 saw a rich land ripe for the capture. 660 01:01:11,211 --> 01:01:14,214 But ambition alone is not what drove him to conquest. 661 01:01:15,131 --> 01:01:16,424 It was a dream. 662 01:01:17,175 --> 01:01:19,553 And just as Daenys foresaw the end of Valyria, 663 01:01:19,636 --> 01:01:22,264 Aegon foresaw the end of the world of men. 664 01:01:23,139 --> 01:01:25,976 'Tis to begin with a terrible winter 665 01:01:26,059 --> 01:01:28,311 gusting out of the distant North. 666 01:01:28,395 --> 01:01:30,272 I, Rickon Stark, 667 01:01:30,355 --> 01:01:31,606 Lord of Winterfell... 668 01:01:31,690 --> 01:01:35,110 Aegon saw absolute darkness riding on those winds. 669 01:01:35,193 --> 01:01:38,363 And whatever dwells within will destroy the world of the living. 670 01:01:39,447 --> 01:01:41,449 When this Great Winter comes, Rhaenyra, 671 01:01:42,742 --> 01:01:45,370 all of Westeros must stand against it. 672 01:01:45,453 --> 01:01:46,973 And if the world of men is to survive, 673 01:01:46,997 --> 01:01:49,958 a Targaryen must be seated on the Iron Throne. 674 01:01:50,041 --> 01:01:53,128 A king or queen, strong enough to unite the realm 675 01:01:53,211 --> 01:01:55,797 against the cold and the dark. 676 01:01:58,008 --> 01:02:00,802 Aegon called his dream "The Song of Ice and Fire." 677 01:02:03,763 --> 01:02:04,931 This secret, 678 01:02:06,016 --> 01:02:08,977 it's been passed from king to heir since Aegon's time. 679 01:02:10,478 --> 01:02:12,689 Now you must promise to carry it 680 01:02:13,231 --> 01:02:14,316 and protect it. 681 01:02:17,819 --> 01:02:19,946 Promise me this, Rhaenyra. 682 01:02:24,075 --> 01:02:25,285 Promise me. 683 01:02:31,333 --> 01:02:36,463 I, Viserys Targaryen, first of his name... 684 01:02:38,131 --> 01:02:40,508 ...King of the Andals, and the Rhoynar, 685 01:02:40,592 --> 01:02:42,761 and the First Men, 686 01:02:42,844 --> 01:02:45,096 Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, 687 01:02:45,180 --> 01:02:47,182 and Protector of the Realm, 688 01:02:47,974 --> 01:02:49,517 do hereby name 689 01:02:50,226 --> 01:02:52,270 Rhaenyra Targaryen, 690 01:02:52,354 --> 01:02:54,606 Princess of Dragonstone 691 01:02:54,689 --> 01:02:56,942 and heir to the Iron Throne.
