\nSPOILER ALERT:<\/strong>\u00a0This article contains spoilers for Season 3, Episode 3 of \u201cHouse of the Dragon,\u201d now streaming on HBO Max.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n\tDaeron Targaryen (Benjamin Evan Ainsworth) is growing up: On this week\u2019s episode of \u201cHouse of the Dragon\u201d Season 3, the youngest (and least blonde) child of Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke) and Viserys Targaryen (Paddy Considine) experienced his very first assassination attempt!<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile sharing a meal with his cousin\/keeper Ormund Hightower (James Norton) and his uncle Gwayne Hightower (Freddie Fox) in Tumbleton, a group of Baratheons tried to kill the young prince seemingly on the orders of his half-sister, Queen Rhaynera Targaryen (Emma D\u2019Arcy). The attack was unsuccessful, as Gwayne jumped to his nephew\u2019s rescue in time, which only resulted in a couple of deaths and Ormund projectile vomiting at the smell.<\/p>\n

\n\tBut the latest deadly move between the \u201cBlacks\u201d (who currently hold the Iron Throne through Rhaynera) and the \u201cGreens\u201d (who are splintered off into multiple factions) will have a profound effect on Daeron heading into the final two episodes of \u201cHouse of the Dragon\u201d Season 3.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI think shock is a big part of that scene in general,\u201d Ainsworth tells Variety<\/em>. \u201cThis is an escalation he wouldn\u2019t have ever expected. There\u2019s also this idea of the power dynamics between him and Ormund leveling out and clashing in a way. \u2018Bold\u2019 Jon Roxton there has very much been a man who\u2019s followed Ormund\u2019s orders, and it\u2019s the first time I\u2019m trying to stop him, and Ormund\u2019s ordering him to do something. So there\u2019s something about that which is stepping up this dynamic within this group amidst the chaos of everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tDaeron holds back Ser Jon Roxton (Joplin Sibtain) when he attempts to dive into the situation and stop Gwayne, before Ormund realizes Gwayne has sussed out the assassination plan before it\u2019s begun. And that little bit of leadership from Daeron, combined with his disgust with Ormund\u2019s handling of the situation, could fuel how Daeron continues to respond to Ormund\u2019s attempts to make him the new king.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cHe\u2019s trying to take more ownership of the situation, but also that\u2019s over the bedrock of just shock and tension and a frustration, too, with Ormund and the way that he\u2019s almost debilitated by his senses,\u201d Ainsworth says. \u201cAnd he\u2019s throwing up right next to me. And there\u2019s an absurdity to that scene, which Daeron is feeling just in the shock of it in itself. Let alone the dead bodies everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIt\u2019s Gwayne\u2019s arrival in Tumbleton after he\u2019s left Fabien Frankel\u2019s Ser Criston Cole (RIP) that has Daeron really thinking through what role he needs to play in this ongoing war.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s exactly that. The verb \u2018thrust\u2019 feels correct because it\u2019s almost a violent thing,\u201d Ainsworth says. \u201cHe\u2019s suddenly within the chaos, and so I don\u2019t think he\u2019s had much time to think about it or to process it, which is why there\u2019s so much tension inside of him and in this desperation he has with Gwayne. In the scene he has with Gwayne, he\u2019s almost forced to think of the idea of becoming king, just what would that mean? Would that mean space between him and Ormund?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter weeks of buildup, it\u2019s clear after this week\u2019s assassination attempt that \u201cHouse of the Dragon\u201d Season 3 is about to feature a confrontation between the Blacks and the Greens in Tumbleton. Would Daeron, who takes to fencing in the courtyard after his brush with death, be capable of joining the fight if it comes to that? After all, he is known as \u201cDaeron the Daring\u201d in George R.R. Martin\u2019s \u201cHouse of the Dragon\u201d source material, \u201cFire & Blood.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI think he would be. Whether he\u2019s ready, I think that\u2019s something he\u2019s questioning himself,\u201d Ainsworth says. \u201cIt\u2019s the reason he goes out to spar after that assassination scene. There\u2019s an element of getting away from the stresses of things and focusing on something that he enjoys, something that he\u2019s good at. But he\u2019s also proving to himself that he can protect himself if something like that happens again. And he knows Ormund and Gwayne are watching him, too. So I don\u2019t want to spoil anything either way.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tRead more from Variety<\/em>\u2019s interview with Ainsworth below.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tHow do you view Daeron\u2019s relationship with his uncle Gwayne in comparison to what we\u2019ve seen between him and Ormund? Gwayne is the first other member of the family we\u2019ve seen Daeron interact with since we met the character.\t<\/h5>\n

\n\tThere\u2019s a growing tension and growing stakes within Tumbleton this season. And this episode feels like the power dynamics are really pushing and grating against each other within Ormund and Daeron\u2019s relationship. And Gwayne is a figure in his life who is more of a brotherly uncle, someone he can speak with, can connect with, and doesn\u2019t have to cover himself up or conceal anything in any way with. It\u2019s very much a breath of fresh air and needed; confiding away from Ormund\u2019s chaos and manipulation.<\/p>\n

\n\tI think this version of Daeron was always the center, and then when it\u2019s with Ormund, I felt it was just more so covering up and containing, and he was thinking more about every choice, everything he says. Whereas with Gwayne, it\u2019s much more instinctual. There\u2019s a safety he feels with Gwayne that just isn\u2019t there because of how dangerous Ormund can be and this kind of twisted feeling of needing Ormund\u2019s affection, as well. Being the perfect squire, being the perfect version of Daeron around him, and there\u2019s a part of that which has made him a more balanced person. He\u2019s been away from the sour politics of King\u2019s Landing, his brothers, his half-sister. It\u2019s all kind of crazy, and he\u2019s managed to live away from that. But I think this season poses a completely different prospect because he\u2019s thrust in the middle of the chaos.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tHave you seen the fan theories that Ormund not only dyed the fake Daeron\u2019s hair blonde, but that he\u2019s actually been dyeing the real Daeron\u2019s hair a Hightower color for years because Ormund hates the Targaryens?\t<\/h5>\n

\n\tI have seen that. Do you know what, it\u2019s funny because it wouldn\u2019t be too far-fetched for Ormund to think of something like that. He seriously is the type of guy to do that. It\u2019s been so cool to see all of the audience reception and theories and the excitement that people have for the character in the show is beyond me.<\/p>\n

\n\tThere\u2019s an element to it where it wasn\u2019t explicitly said when we were on set either way. So there\u2019s a world in which that could be happening, but I don\u2019t know. I think there\u2019s something quite nice about him having his mother\u2019s hair, there\u2019s this connection he feels. He hasn\u2019t seen his mother in years, but he\u2019s made an ideal image of what his mother might be in the hope of some kind of other future for him. So the hair being the same, and the green colors, and the picking of his nails, things like that \u2014 I think it\u2019s quite nice to draw that link between Alicent and Daeron.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tWe\u2019ve only seen Daeron with his dragon Tessarion once because Ormund keeps the dragon locked away. Do you think his relationship with his dragon is different from his siblings who don\u2019t have to keep their dragons locked up?\t<\/h5>\n

\n\tI think he has a really good relationship with Tessarion. She\u2019s been his constant throughout his time in Old Town, a friend who\u2019s always been there for him. Gwayne comes and goes. As we see in this season, he\u2019s returning after a long time away. But Tessarion\u2019s always there and there\u2019s a love and a deep appreciation that goes both ways with them. And it\u2019s something that I think keeps him hopeful about his Targaryen side, because we\u2019ve seen the rhetoric that Ormund has against the Targaryens. He thinks that their blood is tainted and it\u2019s an obscenity to have dragons. Yet [Daemon\u2019s] relationship with Tessarion is what I think is keeping him balanced and not just a pawn for Ormund\u2019s use.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tI know all the cast members decide their own ways they want to approach the character based strictly on the scripts or also George R.R. Martin\u2019s books. Are you a \u201cFire & Blood\u201d reader or not?\t<\/h5>\n

\n\tI\u2019ve read from Aegon\u2019s conquest to [the plot of] Season 3, because I wanted to know what has happened, because he\u2019s grown up in Old Town under the Faith of the Seven. I feel like he would have a base understanding of those concepts and I wanted to be able to bring that into the character. And he would have learned about the history. But I also quite like giving room for this character to grow. <\/p>\n

\n\tI\u2019m aware of \u201cDaeron the Daring\u201d and where this character goes, and the reputations he has within the books. But I think it\u2019s quite cool to try and explore those reputations within the show and within the scripts as well, these morally gray characters and the interpersonal relationships so brilliantly written and well acted by James Norton and Freddie Fox and to get to share that with them has been awesome.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tThis smell thing is a real problem for Ormund. Do you think Daeron has used that at all to his advantage throughout his childhood?\t<\/h5>\n

\n\tOh, I think it\u2019s definitely something he\u2019s been aware of throughout his childhood, but I don\u2019t think he\u2019d then do anything about it or manipulate. I think, if anything, his involvement with Ormund\u2019s senses would be to try and help. I imagined him putting together pomanders for him, because it\u2019s those things to please him in order to almost save his own ass, as well.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tThere\u2019s a scene in this episode that cuts off after Daeron asks Gwayne if he saw his mother, Alicent, when he was last in King\u2019s Landing. Was there more to this scene? Did Gwayne have an answer for him?\t<\/h5>\n

\n\tI don\u2019t know exactly what was said, but I remember talking with Freddie and there is a moment at the end of that scene, which I don\u2019t think made the cut, but where he comes to me, he puts his arm around my shoulder and then we go off. That\u2019s the screenplay version, at least anyway. I think there\u2019s something about, even if he is going back to Old Town, there\u2019s still a sensitivity there. And they have a deep respect for each other. I think their dynamic is one to look out for, and one that means a lot to Daeron.<\/p>\n
