Dragon HouseEpisode 6 ended on a sad note after the tragic death of Laena Velaryon, leaving audiences wondering what now happens to Daemon Targaryen and their children, Baela and Rhaena?
The prequel series features House Targaryen at the height of its reign two hundred years before the events of game of thrones. The blood feud between the family members fighting for the Iron Throne will become the driving force that will bring about the civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons.

After the ten-year time jump, the story picks up the part where Daemon and Laena are already married with two daughters and an unborn child and live peacefully in Pentos after tirelessly traveling around Essos. This union was teased in Episode 5, where the two were seen engaging in flirtatious conversation at the wedding of Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen and Laenor Velaryon.
Laena’s story in Dragon House ended when she was in labor and unable to deliver. Daemon had to make the difficult decision whether to choose to save his wife or the child, but, before he could say a word, Laena ran to Vhagar and pleaded “Dracarysto the dragon. Confused at first, Vhagar obeys her rider’s command, killing both Laena and her baby.

What happens to the demon Targaryen?
After the loss of his wife, Daemon’s next marriage is, indeed, to Rhaenyra, as their relationship has already been hinted at several times in previous episodes. Despite their relationships, the Targaryens have “strange customs” of marriage, as Alicent Hightower pointed out.
The two will marry without the knowledge of King Viserys, and it will happen after the tragic death of Laenor Velaryon. They will also have their own children, Aegon III and Viserys II. Towards the end, Daemon and Rhaenyra will fight together in the Dance of the Dragons.

What’s next for Baela and Rhaena?
Meanwhile, Baela and Rhaena will be married to Jacaerys and Lucerys, their cousins and sons from Rhaenyra. Unfortunately, Baela becomes a captive of Aegon II during the Civil War. As the story progresses and the first season draws to a close, Laena’s children will play larger roles in Dragon House. It’s also likely that Daemon and Rhaenyra’s wedding will happen in the remaining episodes, coming close to the highly anticipated Dance of the Dragons.
