Daenerys Appreciation Week (2019) || Day One ↳ Dany had no wish to reduce King’s Landing to a blackened ruin full of unquiet ghosts. She had supped enough on tears.

Daenerys Appreciation Week (2019) || Day Four ↳ Loyalty  || "Enough.“ Dany slapped the table. “No one will be left to die. You are all my people.” Her dreams of home and love had blinded her. “I will not abandon Meereen to the fate of Astapor. It grieves me to say so, but Westeros must wait.”

Good Queen Daenerys Quotes

Like all good queens she put her people first—else she would never have wed Hizdahr zo Loraq. -- Barristan, ADWD

"A queen must listen to all," she reminded him. "The highborn and the low, the strong and the weak, the noble and the venal. One voice may speak you false, but in many there is always truth to be found." -- ACOK

"It seems to me that a queen who trusts no one is as foolish as a queen who trusts everyone. Every man I take into my service is a risk, I understand that, but how am I to win the Seven Kingdoms without such risks? “ -- ASOS

A queen should hear all sides before reaching a decision. --ASOS

“Why do the gods make kings and queens, if not to protect the ones who can't protect themselves?" -- ASOS

Yesterday a wagon had been overturned and two of her soldiers killed, so today the queen had determined that she would bring the food herself. Every one of her advisors had argued fervently against it, from Reznak and the Shavepate to Ser Barristan, but Daenerys would not be moved. "I will not turn away from them," she said stubbornly. "A queen must know the sufferings of her people." -- ADWD

--------------

The last quote is particularly impressive. Not only is she sharing her limited supply of food with people who are suffering outside the city, she also knows that the last people who delivered the food were killed and decides to take up the danger herself. She puts herself in more danger by tending to the sick and dying and giving them comfort. All while exposing herself to disease. That is a queen. The people’s queen.
