I don't think telling Corlys that Rhaenys died with honour, and how she might have wanted to (if she, in fact, did want to die in dragon flame especially as she thinks both her kids died by fire) means an actual jot to Corlys.

All he probably thinks is about how Rhaenys SHOULD have died. And she should have died at home. She should have died at peace, in peace. She should have died decades from now, with a smile on her face and no troubles. And, most importantly, she should have died after him.

#bc if Baela can embellish and make that death beautiful #Then Corlys can make it ugly esp with his awareness of a battlefield and of the dead #Her death was violent and brutal #She lies on a battlefield being picked on by carrions #Her dragon's headless body rotting next to her #And he CAN'T get to her #He can't even save her mortal remains never mind her life #She died for a keep that fell and a cause that is wavering #For a Queen that would send his granddaughter (innocent and brave and fiery) to barter for his loyalty with a pin #Rather than treat with him herself because of the damage she has already caused him #He just wants his wife back and he can't have that #hotd spoilers #House of the dragon spoilers
