An exclusive sex scene has been prepared by House of The Dragon Star for seven months

Fabien Frankel, the House of the Dragon star, reveals how he prepared for his sex scene, which plays an important role in Game of Thrones. Ser Criston Cole plays the honorable Ser Criston Cole, a Kingsguard member who ensures the safety of Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen. As House of the Dragon has progressed, Cole and Rhaenyra have become close. They were hand-picked by the Princess. Ser Criston and Rhaenyra developed a friendship during a royal hunt when they spotted a white stag that King Viserys I had failed to catch and kill.

How did the intimate scene happen

When Rhaenyra's uncle, Daemon Targaryen, took Rhaenyra to explore the common folk's lives in King's Landing in episode 4, romance blossomed between the young characters immediately. When she returned to the Red Keep, she seduced Ser Criston, resulting in an intimate sex scene between the pair. He convinced her that, as the heir to the Iron Throne, she could do whatever she wanted. Rhaenyra and Criston's House of the Dragon moment represents a new chapter in their relationship that will already affect the course of future episodes. Now, one-star shares how important it is to get it right this time.

To ensure Rhaenyra and Ser Criston's sex scene was of the highest quality, Fabien Frankel spent considerable time working with Clare Kilner, the director of House of the Dragon episode 4. He said he talked about the sex scene for seven months to ensure it was accurately depicted while also ensuring the scene wasn't seen as “gratuitous” by the audience. Both visually and narratively, Ser Criston and Rhaenyra's House of the Dragon sex scene served the show well, as it was depicted in a way that represented their youth while avoiding gratuity under Frankel's guidance.

Explored the importance

As a result of the sex scene, House of the Dragon's latest episode featured major developments, most notably Ser Criston confessing to Queen Alicent Hightower of his affair. As a symbol of war, Queen Alicent Hightower wears green to Rhaenyra and Laenor Velaryon's pre-wedding feast. During the feast, tensions erupted when Ser Criston killed Laenor's lover, Ser Joffrey Lonmouth, in the middle of the crowded room.

A great deal of importance was attached to Fabion Frankel's dedication to Ser Criston and Rhaenyra in episode 4 of House of the Dragon. Without it being displayed the way it was, the impact of what followed would not have been as strong. House of the Dragon shows how it uses sex scenes as an accessory to the story rather than for the sake of nudity by highlighting Ser Criston and Rhaenyra's affair. House of the Dragon's second half will be marked by the long-term implications of Ser Criston and Rhaenyra's sex scene.
