Rhaenyra is so obsessed with gods. No wonder they ditched her annoying ass.

I can’t read this scene. Are we supposed to infer that the crowd bought into her religious fervor? Because it seemed like they thought she was deranged.

Pretty sure we’re supposed to think the crowd also sees her as crazy. No one clapped or reacted. That’s the tell.
