Have you seen how people just have sex all over, all the time?

But mostly, it was just a lot of thrusting.

(Though incest has a way of throwing things a little off balance.)

Strange how often this seems to happen to the nobility!

Exactly how does Daemon end up in Mysarias … cave?

Last is certainly not least.

Rhaenyra is now to marry Laenor Velaryon, last seen looking hot on dragonback over the Stepstones.

But does his family know this yet?
