HOUSE OF THE DRAGON, 1.10 “THE BLACK QUEEN” SENTENCE STARTERS
❛ We don’t choose our destiny. It chooses us. ❜
❛ And do you want to know the truth of it? I was frightened. ❜
❛ My father looked after me and helped to prepare me for my duties. Your mother will do the same for you. ❜
❛ I grieve this loss with you. ❜
❛ A war is like to be fought over this treachery, to be sure. But that war is not mine to begin. ❜
❛ I only rushed this warning to you out of loyalty to my husband and to my house. ❜
❛ You might go easier on him, so he can learn what you’re trying to teach. ❜
❛ Gone to madness. Gone to plot his war. ❜
❛ Whatever claim remains to me, you are now its heir. ❜
❛ Naught is to be done but by my command. ❜
❛ Did you hear what I said? ❜
❛ Come with me. I’ll show you the true meaning of loyalty. ❜
❛ If you choose treachery, if you swear fealty now only to later turn your cloaks… know that you will die screaming. ❜
❛ You should not do this alone. Let us help you. ❜
❛ There has never lived a Stark who forgot an oath. And with House Stark, the North will follow. ❜
❛ Your cause owns a power that has not been seen in this world since the days of Old Valyria. Dragons. ❜
❛ We could have every head mounted on spikes before the fucking moon turns. ❜
❛ You all are traitors to the realm. ❜
❛ I would rather feed my sons to the dragons than have them carry shields and cups for your drunken, usurper cunt of a king. ❜
❛ No blood need be spilled, so the realm can carry on in peace. ❜
❛ She can have her answer now, stuffed in her father’s mouth along with his withered cock. ❜
❛ Let’s end this mummer’s farce. ❜
❛ It’s no easy thing for a man to be a dragonslayer. But dragons can kill dragons. And have. ❜
❛ When dragons flew to war… everything burned. ❜
❛ I do not wish to rule over a kingdom of ash and bone. ❜
❛ Well, the enemy have declared war. What are you gonna do about it? ❜
❛ Does the promise of war excite you? ❜
❛ I should declare war because I’m angry? ❜
❛ Dreams didn’t make us kings. Dragons did. ❜
❛ He never told you, did he? ❜
❛ You abandoned me… when I most needed you. ❜
❛ I reached too far. And for nothing. ❜
❛ We shall declare for no one. ❜
❛ That girl destroys everything she touches. ❜
❛ The purpose of war is to fill graveyards. The trick is to put more of their men in the ground than your own. ❜
❛ It brings much relief to see you hale and healthy again. ❜
❛ Hope is the fool’s ally. ❜
❛ If war’s first stroke is to fall, it will not be by my hand. ❜
❛ You do not mean to act? ❜
❛ Taking caution does not mean standing fast. ❜
❛ We must remind these lords of the oaths they swore. And the cost of breaking them. ❜
❛ If you take this errand, you go as messengers, not as warriors. You must take no part in any fighting. ❜
❛ So you come with empty hands. Go home, pup. ❜
❛ I will not fight you. I came as a messenger, not a warrior. ❜
❛ A fight would be little challenge. ❜
❛ I want you to put out your eye. One will serve. I would not blind you. ❜
❛ Then you are craven as well as a traitor. ❜
❛ I’ll not have bloodshed beneath my roof. ❜
