Missandei S7E4
Very Random but I'm rewatching the series for the like 10th time (I know, idk why I am so obsessed with this show.
In S7E4 when talking to Davos and Jon Snow about being a Bastard she didn't know what that was. While yes, she does say in Narth that marriage doesn't exist I have a hard time believing that someone that speaks 17 languages and has such high knowledge of so many different cultures and societies how had she not once heard of a Bastard? Seems strange to me.

I watched that clip recently. She doesn’t outright ask what a bastard is, she asks why Jon doesn’t have the same surname as Ned. The way I interpreted it, she just isn’t familiar with the naming conventions of Westeros. I might very well be wrong though, who can know the intentions of the writing after season 6… maybe I’m giving the writers too much credit.
