(Art is âLyanna Targaryenâ by wlop)
Tyrion Lannister has been Kelnaerysâ best friend since she could talk and he has idolized her ever since she came into the world. As soon as she said her first word, she never stopped, and Tyrion was always there to answer any question she had.
He would diligently sit with her and help her with her studies, teaching her the history of House Targaryen and of Westeros. The dwarf mesmerized the young princess, and she often wondered why people were so downright horrible to him.
Just because heâs small doesnât make him less of a person, sheâd think to herself.
If the princess heard someone vocally dismissing Tyrion, she would defend him, even in her young age. To this day, if Kelnaerys catches wind of talk against her advisor, she is more than happy to meet them with harsh words accompanied by Valyrian steel.
Tyrion felt, in his own way, that Kelnaerys was like the daughter he never got the opportunity to have. When she got older, theyâd get into mischief together under the nose of Daenerys, who always found out eventually. The Queen would stare at them together longingly, heart swelling with love, till she found out what they had done later and scold them both accordingly. Tyrion was usually given the âYou are my hand Tyrion Lannister, what are you doingâ lecture while Kel mostly got âKelnaerys Targaryen is this any way the heir to Iron Throne should actâ speech.
He was her advisor, her friend, and a father figure all in one. Being a Targaryen, and also being royalty at the same time, made it hard to have true friends. However, Kelnaerys knew she could always count on Tyrion Lannister. Because, as he would say, âLannisters always pay their debtsâ.
