Fans react to Laenor’s death and escape in House of The Dragon Episode 7

Game of Thrones was known for displaying some of the most gruesome death scenes in television history – from Oberyn Martell’s head getting crushed to Joffrey suffocating to poison, and many more. And it seems the prequel House of The Dragon is upholding the tradition, featuring an extremely brutal and bloody birthing sequence in the first episode itself. Episode 7 featured another death scene of a major character, Rhaenyra’s husband Laenor Velaryon.
After the death of his sister Laena, Laenor had become even more remorseful, and mentally unstable. While Laena decided to die a dragon rider’s death, Laenor’s death came as a surprise to many fans. Here’s what the fans think about it:

"You deserve better than what I have been. You deserve a husband."
So Laenor actually masterminded Daemon and Rhaenyra's marriage? while he faked his own death and escaped into the sea ?
What an absolutely fabulous twist, Ryan Condal ??#HouseOfTheDragon #HouseTargaryen pic.twitter.com/Oe9XEnzwsR
