I wish I had known him. [She regrets not having any connection to him, but it can't be helped. She was born too late and he died too early. Daenerys's eyebrows rise, taken aback by the laughter.

He does not know. How could he? She must break his heart.] I will put an end to the revolts; to the traitors and all of their grasping and fumbling. If the people are safe, it doesn't matter to me what they call me. I will be a conqueror.

[And then the blow falls. The sickening crush he must feel...

She understands. Before he even reaches, she is hurrying to him, slipping her arms around him with warmth and tenderness. Yes, this Targaryen heiress has a kind heart.]

You think of me? Some tyrant! [It is a broken tease as she blinks back tears.] To see you is a blessing. I have longed to know you - to know everyone - my whole life.
