While Daemon Targaryen<\/a> (Matt Smith) continues his Harrenhal side quest in House of the Dragon<\/a> season 2, it seems Rhaenyra<\/a> (Emma D\u2019Arcy) no longer needs him, as her relationship with Mysaria<\/a> (Sonoya Mizuno) continues to grow.<\/p>\n Mysaria, who was formerly Daemon\u2019s spymaster, pledged her loyalty to Rhaenyra earlier this season when she freed Mysaria from being a prisoner in Dragonstone.<\/p>\n The spymaster then managed to save Rhaenyra\u2019s life from Ser Arryk Cargyll<\/a>, and has been the queen\u2019s confidante ever since.<\/p>\n But, their relationship has continued to develop in a way that diverges completely from George RR Martin\u2019s novel Fire and Blood.<\/a> Here\u2019s everything we know so far.<\/p>\n At the beginning of the season, we saw that Mysaria had survived the attack on her life that came from Larys Strong (Matthew Needham) at the end of season 1.<\/p>\n While she stowed away on a ship in hopes of escape, she was found by Ser Erryk Cargyll and taken as a prisoner to Dragonstone.<\/p>\n Mysaria had previously sold information to Ser Otto Hightower (Rhys Ifans), with Daemon confronting her.<\/p>\n However, very candidly, Mysaria tells him that she served Otto as long as he had money for her. When she tells Daemon that she knows nothing of Otto\u2019s plans, he imprisons her.<\/p>\n Soon afterwards, he offers Mysaria her freedom in return for the names of assassins that could sneak into the Red Keep (which resulted in the brutal episode 1 storyline Blood and Cheese<\/a>).<\/p>\n Following Jahaerys\u2019s death, Rhaenyra interrogates Mysaria, demanding to know her part in the murder. Mysaria tells the queen the truth \u2013 that she\u2019d given Daemon two names in exchange for her freedom, and Rhaenyra takes her at her word, freeing her.<\/p>\n Shortly afterwards, Mysaria notices something\u2019s wrong when she sees Ser Arryk heading towards Dragonstone and saves Rhaenyra from an assassination attempt.<\/p>\n When the pair next meet, Rhaenyra offers her thanks, and Mysaria points out that her network of spies would be invaluable to Rhaenyra\u2019s cause.<\/p>\n When the queen is confused as to why Mysaria wants to help her, Mysaria says that she\u2019s only witnessed mercy from her rather than from the Greens \u2013 and it\u2019s what the smallfolk of King\u2019s Landing need in a ruler.<\/p>\n Mysaria also aids Rhaenyra in meeting with Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke) in an attempt to prevent a fully-fledged war, telling her where she can find her alone in King\u2019s Landing.<\/p>\n In episode 6, the pair grow closer too, with the two of them enacting a plan to send food to the smallfolk of King\u2019s Landing.<\/p>\n During a later meeting, Rhaenyra says she fears that she cannot win the war, and thanks Mysaria for her loyalty.<\/p>\n Mysaria also opens up to Rhaenyra about a traumatic event in her childhood, and says she\u2019s grateful that the queen sees her as a worthy equal. She also says that she believes Rhaenyra is meant to be queen. Rhaenyra embraces Mysaria and the pair share a kiss<\/strong>.<\/p>\n So, what happens now between them? While the feelings seem strong on both sides, it\u2019s unclear whether it\u2019s a relationship purely born out of loneliness for the pair of them, or if it\u2019s set to become stronger.<\/p>\n One thing\u2019s for sure \u2013 Rhaenyra is all the more dangerous with Mysaria by her side.<\/p>\n Warning: Spoilers from the book Fire and Blood ahead, which may be adapted into future episodes of House of the Dragon.<\/strong><\/p>\n In Fire and Blood, there\u2019s no romantic relationship between Rhaenyra and Mysaria<\/strong>. In the book, Mysaria becomes Daemon\u2019s paramour and becomes pregnant with his child, although she miscarries.<\/p>\n During the Dance of Dragons, she becomes Rhaenyra\u2019s unofficial mistress of whisperers \u2013 but Daemon continues his sexual relationship with her, apparently with Rhaenyra\u2019s approval.<\/p>\n In the book, Mysaria remains loyal to Rhaenyra for the rest of her life \u2013 so we would assume there\u2019s still a long road ahead for the two of them.<\/p>\n [squirrel-affiliate-playlist squirrel_playlist_id=\u201d610\u2033 \/]<\/p>\n House of the Dragon season 2 is airing on Sky Atlantic and NOW<\/a> in the UK \u2013 find out more about\u00a0how to sign up for Sky TV<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Check out more of our\u00a0Fantasy<\/a>\u00a0coverage or visit our\u00a0TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0to see what\u2019s on tonight.\u00a0<\/strong>For more from the biggest stars in TV, listen to\u00a0The Radio Times Podcast<\/a>.d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div> <\/body><\/html>\n Well, that’s new! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":55084,"template":"","categories":[1,5],"acf":[],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/07\/is-rhaenyra-in-love-with-mysaria-house-of-the-dragon-season-2-episode-6-airs-major-book-change-scaled.jpg",2560,1707,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/07\/is-rhaenyra-in-love-with-mysaria-house-of-the-dragon-season-2-episode-6-airs-major-book-change-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/07\/is-rhaenyra-in-love-with-mysaria-house-of-the-dragon-season-2-episode-6-airs-major-book-change-300x200.jpg",300,200,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/07\/is-rhaenyra-in-love-with-mysaria-house-of-the-dragon-season-2-episode-6-airs-major-book-change-768x512.jpg",768,512,true],"large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/07\/is-rhaenyra-in-love-with-mysaria-house-of-the-dragon-season-2-episode-6-airs-major-book-change-1024x683.jpg",800,534,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/07\/is-rhaenyra-in-love-with-mysaria-house-of-the-dragon-season-2-episode-6-airs-major-book-change-1536x1024.jpg",1536,1024,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/07\/is-rhaenyra-in-love-with-mysaria-house-of-the-dragon-season-2-episode-6-airs-major-book-change-2048x1365.jpg",2048,1365,true]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"importmanagerhub@sprylab.com","author_link":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/author\/importmanagerhubsprylab-com\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"Well, that's new!","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed\/55083"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/rss_feed"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/55084"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=55083"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=55083"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}What\u2019s happened between Rhaenyra and Mysaria?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
