The last episode of House of the Dragon had shocked audiences with a kiss between Rhaenyra and Mysaria, and since this romance wasn’t in the books, a lot of people are wondering how their relationship will move forward in the show.
Talking to TV Insider, Mysaria actress Sonoya Mizuno was asked whether we should expect more ‘opportunities for romance’ this season, especially counting that there are only two episodes left since the kiss. Mizuno then replies, “You bloody well hope so. I hope so. For the sake of all the gays, I hope so.”
Though there are already angry ‘anti-woke’ fans who are review bombing the episode because of the kiss, it can be argued that the moment between Rhaenyra and Mysaria didn’t ‘come out of nowhere’. Rhaenyra has been constantly bombarded with disrespect the whole season from the men in her council, but Mysaria has been nothing but supportive. All the two really needed was a moment of vulnerability, and that would have been the final push toward a kiss.
With Rheanyra having spent the whole of Season 2 just stuck in Dragonstone, fans are hoping that she and Daemon get to do something more exciting soon—especially with so few episodes left. There’s more to the whole Dance of Dragons story that the story is yet to cover, and we should expect the penultimate episode to come with the most serious ramifications.
As for the future of Rhaesaria, Mizuno said, “Well, who’s to know? All I’ll say is there’s a civil war brewing, so I don’t know how much time there is to talk about what happened last night.”
I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
