The battle in which the princess dies marks the beginning of the so-called Dance of the Dragons.
The fourth chapter of House of the Dragontitled The Red Dragon and the Goldwas marked by the death of Rhaenys Targaryen and his dragon Meleys.
The so-called Queen Who Never Waswas in charge of attacking the troops led by Criston Cole. This, after Rhaenyra He would return from King’s Landing without fulfilling his objective, because Alicent did not want to accept his proposal for an agreement to avoid war.
For this reason, she decided to start what would be called the Dance of Dragons. The first battle took place in Rook’s Restwhere Cole sought to gain territory, but was surprised by Rhaenys and Meleys, who did not hesitate to spread terror among the military.
What the princess did not expect is that in the place too King Aegon II would appear with his dragon Sunfyre. Still, it was no impediment for her and she managed to leave the beast and its rider seriously injured.
But the Greens had everything coldly calculated. After a signal from Cole, Aemond emerged from hiding with his dragon Vhagarthe largest of the Seven Kingdoms. Although the princess thought of abandoning the battlefield for a minute, since she knew what it would mean to stay, she decided to turn around and attack.
This is how a dragon fight began in the air, where even though Meleys managed to injure his opponent, Vhagar showed why he is one of the most feared and He grabbed the beast by the neck, managing to kill it.
So, Meleys fell through the air along with Rhaenyswho became a new victim in the Targaryen war and who from now on only promises more deaths in House of the Dragon.
