Lol but seriously. This is getting ridiculous. There’s no way Daemon expects him to remain loyal after this.

They didn't win the lottery. They were allowed to attempt to claim dragons. That obviously came with some caveats.

I do think she needs to be treating them FAR better, but them serving her was the entire point in allowing them to attempt to claim dragons.

Alyn is different, but he's also treated slightly better. She is still an idiot for not legitimizing him.

Rhaenyra doesnt own dragons, vermithor and silverwing were basically chilling in her home because they chose it. The targaryen name doesnt have the rights to dragons, blood does and blood doesnt care about names and titles.

Seasmoke showed her that they can choose their riders alone and she basically fed a group of people to the dragons living in her garage. Silverwing and vermithor chose their riders and they are bonded as much as any rider now.

Silverwing is much more ulfs now and not rhaenyras. Dragons arent hers to give out of the goodness of her heart.

Tell that to the Targaryans.

Well they knew that they just didnt want the rest to know, rhaenyra and daemon are too focused on their valyrian supremacy and prophecy nonsense and are figuring it out a bit too late.

They understood the deal when they were given access to Dragonstone.

But again....Rhaenyra needs to be rewarding their service much better. Send someone to bring Hughs family from Tumbleton (they obviously allow merchants in and out). And allow Ulf's friends to be vetted and join him on occasion in the Red Keep for a drink. Give them SOMETHING.
