In the thrilling opening of House of the Dragon season 2, titled “A Son for a Son,” I found myself witnessing a chilling scene straight from George R.R. Martin’s novel Fire & Blood: Daemon Targaryen, my character in this world, dispatches two assassins, named Blood and Cheese, to the Red Keep with orders to avenge his step-son Luke’s death by killing Aemond Targaryen, who was responsible for it. However, these killers couldn’t locate Aemond, so they decided on a different target: the young Prince Jaehaerys Targaryen, son of King Aegon Targaryen and his sister-wife Helaena. In a tragic turn of events, they took Prince Jaehaerys’ life while he was in the room. Helaena, who was also present, managed to save her other child, Jaehaerys’ twin sister Jaehaera, and escape as quickly as she could after witnessing such a gruesome sight.
