The final episode of Game of Thrones prequel House of The Dragon premiered earlier this Sunday, and it was as tragic as the fans expected. Those familiar with the books were dreading this day, as the finale portrayed another death scene of a major character. Queen Rhaenyra’s second son, Lucerys Velaryon, who was sent as an envoy to Storm’s End, dies on his way back in a battle with Aemond and his dragon, Vhagar. It was barely a battle, but straight-up murder, and the death will have a ‘strong’ impact on the civil war.
Let’s have a look at how Strong-ly fans were affected by Luke’s death.

the worst thing is that last scene of daemon telling rhaenyra about luke’s death was the perfect opportunity to use the single best quote from the whole dance "an eye for an eye, a son for a son, lucerys shall be avenged" but they just… didn’t #houseofthedragon

Thinking about Joffrey remembering Lucerys everytime he looks at Tyraxes, because Luke was the one who picked the egg for his baby brother. Thinking about when Joffrey sees the smallfolk invading the dragonpit to kill the dragons, Tyraxes is there and he needs to go save him. pic.twitter.com/wKLK6f7K65

Elliot Grihault did an absolutely amazing job as Lucerys, he served and gave us the best Luke we could’ve asked for even with his small amount of screen time and I hope he knows he made us all love and adore Luke and are so proud of what he’s given us, thank you kid<3 pic.twitter.com/N7bKPDCaET
