—Daenerys, The Conqueror
"Is his presence not a danger to her reign?" Lady Sansa spoke again after Tyrion was deep in thought trying to make sense of such an absurd situation. His little brother never liked things he couldn't control. "The laws favor men over women, the men of Westeros will not accept her as Queen if there is a Targaryen man, bastard or not." Her tone was bitter, she probably spoke from experience but Jaime couldn't help but watch her with a raised eyebrow. Was he the only one who really paid attention to the gathering, to the fierce dance Daemon Targaryen staged in the Great Hall?
The man, rightful or not, declared her Conqueror in front of one of the most rebellious lands, brought her the allies she probably thought she had lost in her war with the Lannisters, supporters who were part of the Seven Kingdoms and had strong enemies in common. Princess Arianne's words were not brash or empty, it had been chosen wisely.
Even bringing in the two little deer bastards of the former king was a careful, and stunningly devastating move that took by surprise everyone who was desperately trying to regain some of the control they lost so dismally in the Game of Thrones.
It didn't matter at all whether Daemon was a Targaryen or not, if they intended to use the old King's bastards against her, making their presences known left a clear message: Daenerys Targaryen was a Conqueror by right and the alternative to not accepting her as Queen was war.
Was the North ready to go to war against the Dragon Queen?
