Rhaenys has been a key member of the House of the Dragons plot since the beginning. Despite being jealous of Rhaenyra from the start, Rhaenys joins her side and proves to be her biggest supporter. All fans knew Rhaenys would die at some point, but no one thought it would happen this early in the story. Well, prominent characters meeting a dark fate is not a new thing for shows like Game of Thrones or House of the Dragon. That said, Rhaeny's death in House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 4 still shocked the entire community, leaving everyone wondering exactly how she died.

The latest episode of House of the Dragon featured an intense battle between House Green and House Black. Rhaenys and Meleys are certainly forces to be reckoned with due to the strong bond the Targaryen Queen shares with her dragon, Meleys. But she went up against Aemond and the greatest dragon in all of Westeros, Vhagar.

In the midst of the battle, Aegon II and Sunfyre also arrive on the battlefield. And well, Rhaenys takes a chance and turns her attention to Aegon II. We all know that Aegon II is just a child who doesn't know how to fight a battle, and Rhaenys, on the other hand, is a fierce warrior. So it's no wonder that Rhaenys sends Aegon II and Sunfyre back to the ground, possibly sending Aegon to his death. After defeating Aegon II, Rhaenys had the chance to flee the scene and take Aegon's defeat as a victory. Rhaenys, however, had something else in mind.

Rhaenys was never in favor of the war between black and green. She knew that a battle between the dragons would heat the sky and make the ground bleed red with the blood of countless innocents. She always advised Rhaenyra to find a way to prevent this war; but deep in her heart she knew that this war was inevitable.
