Complete story — includes the ending
King Viserys and his court attend Lady Laena's funeral in Driftmark. Viserys fails to reconcile with Daemon, but Rhaenyra and Daemon reunite and have sex. Prince Aemond claims Vhagar as his dragon, causing an altercation with his cousins and nephews in which Luke slashes Aemond's eye with a knife. As revenge, Queen Alicent lunges at Luke with Viserys's Valyrian steel dagger. Rhaenyra blocks Alicent but injures herself. Viserys decrees that anyone claiming Rhaenyra's sons are bastards will be punished. Later, Otto Hightower, who has been reinstated as Hand of the King, assures Alicent they will prevail, while Rhaenyra and Daemon unite against Alicent and her family. Qarl appears to murder Laenor, leaving behind a charred body. Daemon and Rhaenyra privately marry in the old Valyrian Dragonlord tradition to perpetuate the Targaryen bloodline. Laenor, having faked his death, escapes Driftmark with Qarl.
