Dragon House's “red seed“It was a scene full of excitement and horror. That's why it was so terrifying for the audience to see Renera watching the scene from a balcony. Even Renera's performer, Emma DarcyAnd talk about this act – the act they call narcissism.
in “red seedRhaenyra put a new plan into action: summoning members of the Targaryen family to Dragonstone, I managed to get two new dragon riders in Ulf the White and Hugh Hammer.Unfortunately for the locals, many of them were eaten, trampled, or burned by a raging, angry dragon.
This is the most evil transformation for Rhaenyra that fans have seen so far.According to Darcy, this is intentional: In a new interview with GQ, they explained that Rainier has increasingly turned to religious fanaticism in order to feel closer to her deceased father.
“I think one of the things that’s been happening to Rhaenyra throughout the series is this growing religious fanaticism. After her father died, there was a desire to be connected to him in some way. And his loss comes at the same moment that her throne is being usurped.”
Rhaenyra's growing fanaticism could be a bad sign for Westeros.

This leads her to ignore the advice of all her advisors and her son Jace. As Jace—and Darcy—point out, his claim is weakened by accusations of his bastard status. The only reason Jace’s claim is relatively secure is that he rides a dragon; if ordinary people can ride dragons, his claim is diminished. But Rhaenyra views her plan, which is based on Adam Hal’s coincidental claim to Seismok, as a sign from the gods themselves.
What is even more worrying, according to Darcy, is that Rhaenyra began to see herself as “god-like.”There is even a bit of pride in Rhaenyra when she sees people being burned by dragons. While Mesaria led Rhaenyra down a more courteous path towards the common people, Darcy's explanation shows that their lives are not as important to Rhaenyra as she makes them seem. So while dragons can empower the common people, this seems more like a side effect than an explicit goal of Rhaenyra's.
