Wolf's Blood | Daenerys Targaryen |

Chapter Thirty-Three

Queen and King

  Daenerys stands high on the steps leading to the Red Keep with people crowding around before her. The crowd is so large, Donner is unable to see the end of it. He stands to her right in the same black leather armor.

  Daenerys cleared her throat, looking to Donner with a happy expression. She had finally done what she dreamed to do for years. She first spoke to her Dothraki Screamers who lined one side of the stairs, holding their horses' reins, "Blood of my blood." She said in Dothraki. They look up at their Khaleesi, none of them speaking a word, "You all know your promises to me. You crossed the poison seas. You brought Khalasars together. You gave me the Seven Kingdoms."

  The Dothraki screamers cheer before quieting down to allow her to speak. Daenerys surveys her forces with a smile. She turns to Grey Worm, "Torgo Nudho." Grey Worm turns to Missandei who gives him a warm smile as she lets go of his hand. He steps forward from her left, "You have walked beside me since the Plaza of Pride. You are the bravest of men, the most loyal of soldiers. I name you commander of all my forces, the Queen's Master of War." She says in High Valyrian.

  The Unsullied think the bottom of their spears in unison to show respect. Grey Worm steps back, a smile on his face. He hugs Missandei and Daenerys continues, "Unsullied. You were torn from your families and raised as slaves. I can never give you back what you have lost. I can give you my word I will send all of you to wherever you please. If you wish to be sent back to Essos. Do only tell me. I will forever be thankful for your service."

  She finally turns to the people of King's Landing who stand before her, "I know my family had a reputation. I do not wish to become that reputation. To become my father. By sunrise, I will have my ships sailing here with food and whatever supplies Cersei has taken away from you."

  People in the crowd cheer, "Recently there have been many people who have sat on the Iron Throne. I promise I will stay and sit on it as my brother, Rhaegar Targaryen would've. I'm sure some of you remember he sang songs and gave all of the money earned to the orphanage."

  Members of the crowd nodded as they remembered the Targaryen prince who loved the people, "I promise you I will listen to you. If you have a problem it will be fixed."

  The cheers grew even louder until Daenerys walks inside the Red Keep, followed by her small council, and Jon and his small council. They walked until they entered the throne room, "I suppose I need to wait until my coronation to sit on it."

  "Joffrey sat on it the day Robert died," Tyrion said.

  Daenerys turned to face him, "I've not come here to be a teenage boy on a throne now have I?"

  Donner nodded in agreement. She didn't want to act too quickly. She must earn the commoners trust first, "You will make a wonderful queen, your Grace."

  "Won't it seem strange if the king calls the queen, 'your Grace'?" See Davos asked from beside them.

  The Stark shrugged, "Technically, we haven't married yet."

  It was a month later when the Great Houses, along with many other houses arrived to watch the marriage between the dragon and the wolf. It was held in the gardens instead of the Sept of Baeler as it had previously been destroyed.

  Donner stood in front of the small crowd. His siblings had traveled South for the marriage. Even if Sansa had trouble trusting Daenerys, she still wanted her brother to be happy.

  The only surviving known member of House Baratheon sat happily next to Arya. Jaime Lannister and Tyrion sat together with Brienne and Podrick. House Greyjoy, Martell, and Arryn were also in attendance. Missandei and Grey Worm we're together sitting in the front next to Varys and Jon's small council.
