EPISODE 11. OF KINGS AND QUEENS
Daenarys stands still as the servants dress her in a red and white gown fit for a Queen. Her hair is done in the style of the women of King's Landing. Her thoughts are not on the upcoming Coronation, but on her unborn child. She also thinks about Jon and their future together. "All done your majesty…" Missandei says observing.
Dany looks at Missandei, "Tell me Missandei…What are your plans for the future…Do you think on marriage?"
She sighs, "I do now that I am no longer a slave…but the man I want cannot love me in the way a man loves a woman…"
"Who?"
"Grey Worm…" She sadly replies.
"Oh! I'm sorry…" Dany frowns, "Does he feel the same for you?"
"If he does he has not expressed such feelings to me…"
"Would you consider other suitors?"
She smiles, "No m'lady…"
An idea came to Dany, but she had to speak with Jorah Mormont first. When Dany emerges from her royal suit an honor guard of Unsullied form around her and they walk to the main entrance of the palace where Jon is dressed like a Prince. Dany smiles as she can tell he feels awkard, but his awkwardness vanishes when they lock eyes. They parade through the streets to the tourney grounds. The sept of baelor was still under construction so it was decided to hold the coronation at the tourney grounds so that all who wished to bear witness could.
"From this day forth let it be known that Daenaerys Stormborn of House Targaryen…First of her name…Khaleesi of Vas Dothraki…Queen of Dragon's bay…Protector of the Realm…Queen of the southern kingdoms…Queen of the Andels and the First Men…is Queen by the will of the gods…"
Jon is crowned as Lord Protector and defender of the Iron Throne…Lord Commander of the Royal Army. Immediately afterwards a wedding is held uniting Dany and Jon as man and wife. The wedding feast lasts for three days. The first thing Dany does is meet in private with Jon Connington. Jon was taking care of business elsewhere in the palace. "Lord Connington, thank you for coming."
"Your majesty…"
"As per our agreement…Documents giving you Lordship over the city of Qarth to rule in my name…I am also placing under your command the Dothraki army…You will use them to conquer any cities still practicing slavery." She hands him the sealed documents.
"I will not fail you…and the other matter."
"I had Lord Varys reach out to many prominent families…Lord Lefford's daughter was once betrothed to Sir Michael of the Crag…He died during the battle of Green Fork…She has refused all suitors since then…With some convincing on the part of Lord Varys both Lefford and his daughter have agreed to meet you…You are invited to Golden Tooth…If she is your liking and her to you she will marry you at Golden Tooth and accompany you to Qarth after the wedding…Lord Lefford insists that your second eldest son inherit Golden Tooth…As your first would inherit the titles of Qarth…"
"Sounds reasonable…What if she is not to my liking?"
"Lord Varys will send letters of introduction to families throughout Westeros…" He Thanks her again and has a meeting with Salladhor Saan. "Are you satisfied with the payment of gold?"
At Dany's request Tyrion commissioned gold to be coined in order to pay the balance of what is owed to Saan. "It is very satisfactory…thank you your grace…"
"I had another matter I wished to spak with you on…My small council needs to be filled and I was wondering if you would consider becoming Master of Ships…You can build your own house…House Saan…"
"That is very generous…" He sighs, "I don't know me an honest man…"
"How about I sweeten the deal…You may continue your smuggling…But I want a cut of ten percent."
He smiles, "You are my kind of ruler…"
Dany meets with a representative of the Iron Bank and pays off the balance of what was owed during Robert's reign. She had collected the gold from a gift given by the major and minor houses of Westeros. Jon had contributed from gold given to him by the Northern families. After her meeting she met up with Jon for a private lunch that leads to love making. She has one more meeting before she can retire for the day and that is with Lord Gordon Estermont. "I am sorry Lord Estermont, but I already promised Lordship of the Stormlands to Lord Gendry Baratheon…"
"I have never heard of any Gendry Baratheon…"
"I have only recently ligitmzed him…"
"A bastard!" He says raising his voice, Gendry draws his sword. He looks at the Unsullied soldier. "My apologies your grace…" Dany raises her hand and Grey Worm sheaths his sword and stands at attention. "With all due respect I will not bend the knee to a bastard…"
"He is not a bastard anymore…"
"I would rather go to war…"
"I'm sure you would…But Lord Gendry has my support…I would be obliged to aid him…and even if I didn't his wife Lady Arya Stark is a very skilled assassin…I am sure you heard what became of the Freys…"
He squirms in his seat, "Very well I will bend the knee…and encourage my allies to do the same…But he must promise me one of his daughters for one of my sons…or vice versa…"
"I am sure he will be agreeable to that…You will bend the knee to him at court tomorrow…"
She has court the next day allowing many of the Southern and Wetsern Lords to pledge oaths to the new Queen. Before Gendry makes his pledge, Lords Estermont, Gradison, Peasebury, Wylde, Davos, and Jorah bend the knee to Gendry Baratheon and he in turn bends the knee to Daenarys. Next Dany orders the Dothraki to follow Jon Connington in war against the remaining slave cities.
Then she decrees that criminals and law breakers can no longer escape justice by joining the Night's Watch. Dany sends all orphans to the Wall to be trained as men of the watch and reveals that the New Lord Commander decreed that the men of the Watch can have families but they and their children are pledged to the wall. Then Dany introduces her small council, Varys Lord of Whispers, Tyrion Lannister Hand of the Queen, Jorah Mormont Master of Laws, Salladhor Saan Master of Ships, Princess Obara Martell Commander of the City Watch, and Jon Targaryen Lord Commander of the Royal Army.
