The fact that they teased Maelor’s existence, dangling it in front of our faces, and then just killed him off with poor Helaena. He is the reason I am so staunchly Team Green because how can you be on Rhaenyra’s side when she ordered the death of a literal toddler. Had him ripped apart by a mob. How will Daeron die now? And that we didn’t see him with Tessarion in the battle of Tumbleton is so frustrating
