The first episode of the Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon showed Matt Smith engaging in a daring tryst with his mistress Mysaria (Sonoya Mizuno), shocking viewers.

Fans were shocked by the steamy scene the 39-year-old actor who portrays Prince Daemon Targaryen performed at a brothel he had rented out for an orgy for the soldiers on the King’s Watch.

Following the passing of Viserys’ son Baelon, Daemon, who is now the assumed prince, delivers a speech, with his devoted allies awkwardly pausing their acts to listen.
