“I know she is proud. How not? What is left to her but pride? I know she is strong. How not? The Dothraki despise weakness. If Daenaerys had been weak, she would have perished with Viserys. I know she is fierce. Astapor, Yunkai and Meereen are proof enough of that. She has survived assassins and conspiracies and fell sorceries, grieved for a brother and a husband and a son, tro the cities of the slavers to dust beneath her dainty sandaled feet”
I’ve been by your side longer than any of them, Khaleesi. Let me stand for you today as well. You’re my most trusted advisor, my most valued general and my dearest friend. I will not gamble with your life.
i am daenerys stormborn. your masters may have told you lies about me, or they may have told you nothing. it does not matter. i have nothing to say to them. i speak only to you. first, i went to astapor. those who were slaves in astapor, now stand behind me, f r e e. next i went to yunkai. those who were slaves in yunkai, now stand behind me, f r e e. now i have come to meereen. i am not your enemy. your enemy is beside you. your enemy steals and murders your children. your enemy has nothing for you but chains and suffering, and commands. i do not bring you commands.

Like their dragons the Targaryens answered to neither gods nor men.
