"You fear a dragon leagues away, while mine own sits outside your walls?" Such a perfect line. It's a vague threat, a reassurance and a complete disregard of their comment all at once. Jace is mastering diplomacy at a young age.

[CoolsBreeze]

I love Jace's thinking and be able to politic so well. He truly is a good prince. I'm glad they're highlighting this in the show.

[richardkrilljr.]

“Bent knees”

Jace has learned pretty quickly how the game is played

[TheOfficiaITristam]

"You fear Vhagar leagues away" Bro hasn't realised that Vhagar has an invisibility spell that can ambush you from nowhere

[iwanegerstrom]

Watch and learn Daemon. This is how you treat with nobles.

[simonepala]

“Though his fifteenth nameday was still half a year away, Prince Jacaerys proved himself a man, and a worthy heir to the Iron Throne”

[ElladanKenet]

He might not have the right hair color, but Jace truly is a Targaryen.

[racatkns]

I loved the subtle power move of him standing and making a noble Frey be his cupbearer before replying, reminding them that although he is their junior, they cannot forget their place. Glad we’re seeing more Jace become the diplomatic force behind the Black faction like in the books. With Baela ar his side, Jace would have made a great King. 😢

[philliesfan]

Jace is the new Robb Stark. You start really liking this kid and by the end you know he’s going to die

[coralcrown]

Glad the show is going in depth on Jace. In the book, while all Rhaenyra's eldest are noted for being skillful enough in arms or eager for battle, it's Jace's foresight and clever politicking that ultimately allows House Targaryen to survive the war. In the context of the Song of Ice and Fire Prophecy, that's most important.

Love how House Frey looks here. It actually does them, their wealth and their reputation justice. Not like the shambling mess of a house we saw on GOT. They looked more like peasants than nobles.

[welp]

Nice to see Freys with actual intelligence, they didn’t build and hold their precious bridge by being fools.

[MiamiGameHunter]

This scene perfectly shows just how infamous and terrifying Aemond’s reputation has now become.

[isolate]

I loved how they portrayed the freys in this series they did them justice, the time house frey was before they fell from grace a few generations later on

Still my favorite house in the riverlands just before blackwood

[chasemcnab]

Love how Jace downs his wine before the negotiating crescendos; needs a bit of liquid courage to channel his inner Targaryen.

[theRedK]

Walder Frey is a disgrace and a coward. These Freys however showed some mannerism and respect.

[MrDibara]

_Man... from these shots, the Twins actually look so beautiful...!_

Shame what became of House Frey after this age.

[DAFR]

Jace is a TRUE Targaryen! the “bent knees” line was so badass

[theblackpearlofbraavos]

Ah, House Frey before their "Walder Era"

[aeh]

This kid is so charming. Jace is my favorite this season
