Game of Thrones fans saw Daenerys Targaryen (played by Emilia Clarke) burn King’s Landing, killing a number of innocent civilians in the process.
The mad Queen wanted people to realise the consequences for disobeying her and send a powerful message, but this seemed to have the opposite effect as her cruel actions led to her assassination.
Fans were shocked to see what Daenerys had become as she had long been a fan-favourite in the HBO fantasy.
However, one fan may have revealed that she had a dark mind all along, pulling a line from the original George RR Martin books.
Taking to Reddit, user MarkoMD007 shared a snap of the text, which revealed one of Daenerys’ darker inner thoughts from earlier on in the books.
The text read: “Women do not forget. Women do not forgive.”
“No, Dany thought, and the Usurper’s dogs will learn that, when I return to Westeros.”
Fans were quick to infer the line foreshadowed Daenerys’ change of character and moreover, her plan to set fire to King’s Landing.
One user commented on the phrase “Usurper’s dogs”, with Usurper being a derogative term for someone who seized power in opposition to the “rightful” ruler perceived to have a better claim to the title.
The user said: “She literally said that that’s how she saw the people of KL when they didn’t turn on Cersei like the Slaves turned on the slavers in Meereen.”

Could Daenerys have been destined to turn on the people of Westeros all along?
Viewers were stunned after Daenerys stepped into a burning pyre with her dragon eggs, and walked out with three baby dragons.
However, showrunners never revealed the true reason the dragons were born after being extinct for so long.
But Reddit user mlilm has theorised three deaths were the non-official sacrifices that had to be made to bring her dragons to life – however the user switched her Viserys (Harry Lloyd) with the witch that cursed Drogo.
Firstly, the death of her brother Viserys was after Khal Drogo (Jason Momoa) burned him with the gold.
Secondly, Khal then died after his battle wound became infected and she was falsely tricked into thinking she could save him.
Finally, her unborn child was also lost in a trade off to keep her husband alive in a cruel twist of fate.
Reddit user mlilm explained: “When Dany is trying to save Drogo in the tent there were three deaths. Drogo, their unborn son, and Mirri Maz Duur the witch.
“These three died so the dragons could be born. There’s already speculation Drogon is Drogo, and even though she names the others after her brothers I would guess Rhaegal is her son and Viserion is the witch.”
