The more I progress through House of the Dragon, the more I believe marriage was an ugly, selfish institution.
It wasn’t about love. It was about power, alliances, inheritance, and advancing the interests of a house.
The people getting married often seemed like an afterthought.
If someone is annoyed by your need to connect, please leave them alone. It is better to have nobody than to have someone who is only half there or doesn't want to be there.
