Episode 4 of this Show aired on 11th September and left the audience wondering about Rhaenyra Targaryen’s future.

Here we will try to discuss the future of Rhaenyra Targaryen according to the novel by George R.R. Martin.
Prince Daemon and Rhaenyra in The House of the Dragon- What Will Happen Next?
In Episode 4, we have seen that he was welcomed warmly after Daemon Targaryen returned after his victory against the Triarchy at the Stepstones. However, he quickly finds out that her niece Rhaenyra is eager to escape the monarchy, even for a short time. He decided to help and left his bag of clothes with a note to meet him at the castle rampart. The note contains the way to sneak out of the palace. When these two meet, gradually, they have been driven close to each other, and when they finally enter the Pleasure House, they start kissing each other, but before things go any further, Daemon pulls himself up and drives Rhaenyra away. He left his niece all alone. That’s all we have seen in episode 4. Now, the audiences are curious to know what will happen next. This crossing of the line between the uncle and the niece will bring what consequences. Will they continue their relationship, or they marry?
The novel says that Rhaenyra indeed marries, but not Prince Daemon. We have already seen her agree to marry Ser Laenor Velaryon, and she will marry him. They will have three children together, though the rumor says all the children don’t belong to the same father. She was rumored to have a lover called Harwin Strong, who is actually the father of her children. Until the death of Ser Laenor Velaryon, the story of Rhaenyra and Daemon has no progress, but after her husband’s death, she will secretly marries Prince Daemon. This time the news of their marriage will reach the king, who not only disapproves of it but becomes furious. However, it doesn’t break the bond between this couple. They will have two children together.
That’s the story of Prince Daemon and Rhaenyra in the novel Fire and Blood. We don’t know how the series will portray the characters and give them an ending. But, hopefully, they will follow the storyline with a few required changes. To know what really happens to Prince Daemon and Rhaenyra, wait for the next episode of The House of the Dragon to be aired on 18th September 2022.
