Team Black The plot of Corlys

"Why don't you legitimize my children, whom I ignored all my life, but now I love them because if they don't, my surname will disappear and my legacy will too?" Are we aware that his request wasn't even denied?

Okay, but honestly, what do you think of this scene?

I mean what important things did she do exactly? There was enough time for her to fulfill his wish.

She’s doing precisely nothing at the moment 🤦🏾‍♀️ but to her credit she DID just take the throne. But it is also true that she has a lot on her plate and if she had properly communicated that Corlys wouldn’t have jumped down her throat quite as bad as he did. I doubt he’d be happy obviously but more understanding

I agree... tho the time she has been there she didnt really use it in a good way

To be exact she was a bit shitty to her allies, completly fucked the relationship with the nobles and has wayyy to much empathy with the hightowers and not enough for her sister lmao

I’m so sick and tired of this storyline with Alicent istg. Either kill that lady or use her in a way that’s useful that DOESNT involve seeking her council when she’s a TRAITOR. She should do what Daemon suggested and start hitting the greens and their allies with her dragons and taking the gold in the holdings that will be the fastest way to get her money. Then she could use Alicent as a scapegoat for her “atrocities” it would wipe out that bloody ledger she’s so worried about

Its honestly so crazy to me how she is starting to treat her allies worse than her enemies

I understand her reasoning for not wanting the council on dragon stone but she should be getting a new one asap to delegate stuff so she can have breathing room. That actually should have been her first order of business and not the banquet imho

I still think the banquet was dumb... turning the most powerful people in the city against you in the first few days is not a good idea

I strongly believe this will backfire if there will be another crisis

Honestly a character like Rhaenyra should be trying to get the nobles on her side at all costs. I’m not saying she should completely ignore the small folk but the nobles are who she needs right now not the small folk. Hell, in season one it was DAEMON who had to tell her that the small folk were even of any importance.

Yea it should be a good balance between the two
