What Game of Thrones took seven seasons to set up, an incestuous romance in House Targaryen, House of the Dragon provided the viewers in just four episodes. In the most recent episode, Daemon (Matt Smith) and Rhaenyra (Mily Alcock), who are actually uncle and niece, almost followed in their ancestors’ practise of incest. Mily discusses the episode and the reasons she thinks her character is drawn to Daemon.

Game of Thrones, which is based on George R. R. Martin’s best-selling A Song of Ice and Fire novel series, is a prequel to House of the Dragon, which is based on Martin’s Fire & Blood. The series takes place during King Viserys Targaryen’s reign 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones (Paddy Considine). His younger brother Daemon, who aspires to the throne, for himself and will manipulate and cheat anyone for that. His pawn now is his brother’s daughter Princess Rhaenyra

In reference to her connection with Daemon, the series’ young princess, played by actress Milly Alcock, states, “I suppose Daemon is the guy that Rhaenyra wishes she could have been had she been a male.”

The actor clarifies why her character is captivated to Daemon despite the fact that other people might think he is cunning. There is something rather seductive about that for her, about having that power, that he is unpredictable, that he doesn’t listen to anyone, and that he does what he wants. I believe they are like-minded individuals since they are both outcasts in a world of suits and monarchy. As such, they support one another, she says.

The series was executive produced by George RR Martin, Ryan Condal, Miguel Sapochnik, Sara Hess, Jocelyn Diaz, Vince Gerardis, and Ron Schmidt. It was directed by Miguel Sapochnik, Clare Kilner, Geeta Vasant Patel, and Greg Yaitanes. Every Monday morning, a brand-new episode of the HBO series is available on Disney+ Hotstar in India.
