In addition to talking about how Laenor would need to “die” for them to marry, Rhaenyra emphasizes her love for him, the fact that she doesn’t want to be a tyrant, and notes, “The sea offers an escape.” Daemon, meanwhile, says of Laenor, “Set him free.” He also adds, significantly, “We will know the truth of it, and our enemies won’t.” So much double meaning!
