"JOFFERY BARATHEON IS DEAD, MURDERD AT HIS OWN WEDDING" Jorah said in the new council meeting in the temple, Helaena looked at the ground and smiled knowing each king is falling
"And we have taken their navy, your Grace" Barristan added "The seconds sons have taken the navy " daario corrected taking a grape from the food bowl "Who told you to take their navy?" Dany asked
"no one" Dario answered with a smug smile "So why did you do it?" Helaena asked from her spot next to Missandei and Greyworm
"I thought you need a ship" he said "How many ships?" Helaena asked Ser Hallyne "93 Princess"
"How many men can they carry?" asked "9300" he answered "Would that be enough to take Kings Landing?" Dany asked as they all turned to Jorah
"The Lannisters have more" he told them
"They've been fighting Joffrey's wars for years, they are tired" Barristan spoke confidently "Dispersed their king is dead 8000 unsullied 2000-second sons sailing into Blackwater Bay and storming the gates without warning-" he said
"it could be enough but we're not fighting for Kings Landing 10000 Men cannot conquer Westeros" he remind all of them
"But our houses will flock to our queen once we cross the narrow sea" Barristan said
"They will flock to whichever side they think will win" Jorah stated
"There's other news from Yunkai without the unsullied to enforce your rules it is been told that the masters of taking control of the city have taken back the slaves and sworn to take revenge against you both" Jorah spoke
"And Astapor it is told that the city has been overthrown by a man named Cleon who's declared himself king of the majesty," Jorah said as Helaena sighed and rubbed her head
"Please leave us," Dany said looking out the window as everyone in the room began to leave beside Helaena
"Not you Ser Jorah." Dany said as Helaena looked at the balcony and saw the people now free living their lives
"It appears my liberation of slavers bay is not going to plan" Dany stated from her place
"You could sail for Westeros and leave it all behind. The man who sits on the iron throne is a boy who many believed to be a bastard they've never been more vulnerable" Jorah reminded them
"You cautioned me against being rash in Qarth I did not listen. But it all worked out well" Helaena chuckled as did he "How can I rule seven kingdoms if I can't control slavers bay? Why should anyone trust me why should anyone follow me?"
"You are Targaryens you are the mothers of dragons-" Jorah reminded her.
"We need to be more than that, Danny told him "We will not let those I have freed slide back into chains We will not sail for Westeros" She said
"I agree" Helaena said as Dany looked at her in approval "What then?" Jorah asked
"I will do what Queens do. I will rule" Dany said as she went onto the balcony to look down on Meereen
-
'You stand before Daenerys of the House Targaryen the first of her name the unburnt queen of Meereen the queen of the andals and the first man Khaleesi of the great grassy breaker of chains and her sister Princess Helaena of House Targaryen, The unburnt, The Children's protector, Khalakki of the Great grass sea and mothers of dragons Missandei introduced them both
Helaena sat next to Dany on the small chair-like bench with Missandei and talia at each of their sides
"Don't be afraid my friend" Danny said as the man nervously stood forward
"The queen says you may step forward" Missandei translated, he took cautious steps towards the throne
"He is a goat herder,' Missandei translated "he said he prayed for your victory against the slave traders"
"I thank you" Dany said and he put a bag before them opening it up. Bones were revealed.
"It was your dragons he said they came this morning for his flock burned them to a crisp. He hopes he has not offended your grace but now he has nothing" Missandei told them.
"Tell this man we are sorry for his hardship we cannot bring back his goats but I will see he has paid their valid value three times over" Dany said as missandei translated back
He bowed before her gratefully. Thanking her over and over again he picked up the bones and left happy making Helaena smile at the sweet man
"Send the next one in" Dany commanded
"The noble Hizdahr zo Lorags begs an audience with the Queen"
"The noble name can speak to me himself" Dany said annoyed as the man nodded and the lord entered the from and Bowed
"Queen Daenerys, Princess Helaena tales of your beauty were not exaggerated" Hizdahr told them looking up at her Neely rolled her eyes, they always started with flattery when they wanted something.
"thank you" Helaena thanked but Dany did not "My family is one of the oldest families in Meereen" He went on.
"Then it is our honor to receive you"
"My father was one of Meereen's most respected and beloved citizens who oversaw the maintenance of its castles. This pyramid included" he told her
"For that he has my gratitude we should be honored to meet him" Dany said as she smiled
"you have your grace you crucified him" Hizdahr told her and Dany's face dropped as did Helaena's face "I pray you don't live to see a member of your family treated so cruelly" his eyes drifted
"Your father crucified innocent children," Helaena said with a clenched Jaw
"My father spoke out against crucifying those children he decreed it as a criminal act but he was overruled is it justice to answer one crime with another?" He asked
"I'm sorry you no longer have a father but my treatment of the Masters was no crime you would be wise to remember that" Dany told him
"What's done is done you are the queen and I am a servant of Meereen, service does not want to see its tradition eradicated" He stated
"And what traditions do you speak of?" Helaena asked the man
"The tradition of a funeral right a proper burial at the Temple of the graces?" he told her "My father and 162 noble men are still nailed to those posts being carried away by vultures and rotting in the sun" He bowed down before her getting to his knees. "your grace I ask that you order these men taken down so they might receive proper burials" He begged
"And what do you have to say for these noble Men, women, and children that were crucified on their orders they were rotting in the sun what about their right to a proper funeral?" Helaena spat at the man
"Your grace I cannot defend the actions of the masters I can only speak to you as a son who loved his father let me take his body down. Let me have them brought to the temple and buried with dignity so that he might find peace in the next world" he begged a hand over his heart
Dany Looked at Helaena who nodded
"Burry your father" Dany agreed "Thank you my queen, Princess" He greeted both bowing before leaving
'How many more?' Danny questioned "There are 212 supplicants your grace" Missandei answered
"212" Dany muttered "Send the next one in" Helaena asked Missandei
