Obligatory disclaimer that no one is ever entitled to a crown and that the Iron Throne has only ever made everyone around it miserable, but it is so funny to me that since HOTD retconned Laenor's death, he and Rhaenyra are technically still married which makes her and Daemon's marriage bigamous and unlawful in Westerosi society, consequently making their children bastards. Which means that at the end of the Dance, the people with the actual closest legitimate blood claim to the throne are- my gods, what's this? It's Baela and Rhaena with a steel chair!

#hotd #oh to be a fly on the wall in targ hell when they realize this #rhaenys is not exactly pleased because the iron throne has only ever killed everyone she loves #but she does sideeye jaehaerys i with something close to a grim 'ha'#she tells corlys when he finally joins her and he howls with laughter for the next century #daemon and alysanne are both on the fiery ground crying because they're cackling so hard #daemon because after all those years of people saying he was after the throne #his daughters are quite unintentionally the most legitimate heirs #while alysanne is vindicated. it's not a joyous vindication but she will hold this over jaehaerys forever.#laena is not laughing because she's busy giving aemond the coldest; most unimpressed look #'you could have flown ANYWHERE with vhagar but you used her like a weapon and crashed her in a lake'
