Emilia Clarke and Kit Harington tease trouble ahead for Daenerys and Jon's romance on 'Game of Thron

"Daenerys's lifelong dream has been to avenge her family and claim her rightful seat on the Iron Throne," Emilia Clarke said in a new interview with TV Insider . "She truly loves Jon. Were she to find out about his title, it would cut deep."

"Daenerys's lifelong dream has been to avenge her family and claim her rightful seat on the Iron Throne," Emilia Clarke said in a new interview with TV Insider . "She truly loves Jon. Were she to find out about his title, it would cut deep."

Filming has already wrapped on the series and HBO announced the final season will begin sometime in April. That means Clarke and her "Game of Thrones" co-stars all know if Dany finds out about Jon's Targaryen blood. But the cast is keeping the story secrets hypothetical for now.

"Jon is someone who plays by the book. He cannot lie," Kit Harington said in the same TV Insider feature. "Finding out about Dany would be very hard for him."

Their vague teases of trouble invoke a good question: Will both Jon and Daenerys learn the truth on the coming season?

Right now, the only two people on the show who know Jon is a Targaryen prince are Bran and Sam. They're both at Winterfell, which is where Jon and Dany's boat is headed, but there's no guarantee the four of them meet up and have time for a nice, long, life-changing chat. The Night King has broken through the Wall and is marching south with his army of dead. What if there's no time for Sam and Bran to break the news to Jon?

As we noted last year, both Jon and Daenerys fit in with description of the long-prophesied hero Azor Ahai a legendary figure whose myth includes the tragic death of their loved one. Given author George R.R. Martin's promise of a "bittersweet" ending, it doesn't seem likely that both Jon and Daenerys survive the series.

We'll have to wait until this spring to know for certain what comes next for the two likely doomed lovebirds.
