Things are getting spicy between Rhaenyra (Emma D'Arcy) and Mysaria (Sonoya Mizuno) once again in House of the Dragon season 3 – but this time, something feels very off between the pair.
Rhaenyra and Mysaria have always had a complex relationship. Mysaria arrived at Dragonstone as a prisoner, gradually earning Rhaneyra's trust and eventually becoming her closest confidante. But, in season 2, fans were surprised to see the relationship between the queen-to-be and her Mistress of Whispers take a romantic turn, with a passionate kiss in the episode Smallfolk.
Throughout season 3, as she grapples with the weight of the crown, Rhaenyra has become increasingly isolated – from her husband, from her council, and now, from her subjects. And at the centre of it all is Mysaria.
But, in recent scenes, Mysaria's loyalty hasn't exactly been steadfast. She's lied to Rhaenyra on multiple occasions, most concerningly about Helaena's (Phia Saban) pregnancy after Alicent (Olivia Cooke) asked her to keep the secret. And now, Rhaenyra's popularity with the smallfolk is plummeting, with the streets growing dangerous on her watch. It begs the question of what will happen if and when Mysaria feels that Rhaenyra is no longer the best option.
"Is there anything Daemon could do you would truly not believe?" she asks Rhaenyra in a shockingly impetuous moment.
In placing herself in between Rhaenyra and the smallfolk, Mysaria has further isolated the queen, this time from her subjects. Anything she hears from her subjects, or that her subjects hear from her, will be filtered through Mysaria, leaving plenty of room for seeds of doubt to be sown.
Now, Rhaenyra feels conflicted about Daemon, let down by her council, and powerless when it comes to her subjects. She's insecure, fearful she's tarnishing her father's legacy, and rightfully worried about her position – and she has no one else to turn to.
Calling her by her first name and stroking her hair, Mysaria is very much in control of the interaction. She kisses Rhaenyra and pushes her down onto her back, dominating her. This time Rhaenyra is the one finding comfort in Mysaria, giving the Mistress of Whispers a certain control over her. That's without even mentioning the higher emotional stakes between the two now that their romantic relationship has reached a new level.
None of this directly indicates that Mysaria is considering betraying Rhaenyra. But it does cast doubt over Mysaria's intentions, and clearly shows that Rhaenyra will be in a very dangerous spot if the White Worm ever does betray her now.
Perhaps more likely is the idea that Mysaria will always favour the smallfolk. We know that the show will likely end up covering the Storming of the Dragonpit, which sees the smallfolk riot and slaughter five dragons, causing catastrophe for House Targaryen. Could she eventually play a role in inciting these?
For what it's worth, in Fire and Blood, Mysaria stays loyal to the Blacks until her death – and maybe that will still be the case in the series. After all, the White Worm has proven her loyalty many times before. But one thing is for certain as we head into the season 3 finale: Rhaenyra is in a very precarious position.
