Rhaenyra and Mysaria’s Kiss on HOUSE OF THE DRAGON Wasn’t Scripted

by

As a dedicated fan of “House of the Dragon,” I was absolutely captivated by the unexpected turn of events between Queen Rhaenyra and Mysaria in the recent episode. The bond between these two characters has always been intriguing, but when their secret alliance brought relief to the people of King’s Landing, their connection deepened in ways none of us saw coming.

In the “House of the Dragon,” the connection between Queen Rhaenyra and Mysaria, the Smallfolk’s favorite, intensified. They shared a deep secret that brought relief to the people of King’s Landing. During an open conversation about their anxieties and past hardships, they found solace in each other’s arms. Their emotional bond culminated in an unexpected kiss, altering their relationship dynamics unintendedly. Even the makers of the show were taken aback, as Sonoya Mizuno revealed to The Wrap that this spontaneous scene wasn’t originally scripted.

Mizuno explained that the script didn’t specify they would kiss. Instead, it mentioned “only breath separating them, and then whatever transpired was halted.” Yet, they found themselves in a significant situation. Actress Emma D’Arcy, along with her co-star and Mizuno, discussed the characters’ storyline extensively with showrunner Ryan Condal for months. Eventually, D’Arcy suggested letting the intimate scene unfold organically.

After listening to Mysaria recount her father’s harrowing account of abuse and close call with death, Mizuno reacted naturally by expressing compassion towards Rhaenyra, whom she felt the urge to console. The ensuing scene unfolded spontaneously.

Mizuno expressed great satisfaction with the result, but it may not be beneficial for both characters. In the world of Westeros, fans are familiar with Maester Aemon’s warning that “love can lead to duty’s downfall,” as he shared this wisdom with Jon Snow. Rhaenyra already faces numerous challenges in her quest for the Iron Throne. Among these challenges is managing her wayward husband, Daemon, who previously had a romantic involvement with Mysaria.

In the world of Game of Thrones, any romantic involvement between Rhaenyra and Mysaria is bound to bring significant complexities. Just as this unexpected kiss caught us off guard, so too would the implications of their relationship unfold in unpredictable ways.
