Chapter 21. Queen Daenarys

Daenarys smiled as Blackwater Bay could be seen in the distance. Her Dragons Dragon, Viserion, and Rhaegal flew overhead following Dany's sail barge. Behind her ship was a massive fleet carrying her army of Dothraki, Unsullied, and the Free Armies. The free armies had been paid to pledge themselves to her by Sansa Stark. Not only that, Sansa had paid for the freedom of every slave in Essos and al the free kingdoms. So the number one thought on Dany's mind was, where did Sansa Stark get the wealth to pull all this off?

As they approach the docks people could be heard cheering especially when Daenarys' Dragons fly overhead. Targaryen banners are waved by the young and old. As captain of the Queen's Guard Barristan Selmy along with fifty men disembark first, then a few thousand of the Unsullied and finally Daenarys and her retinue. Sansa Stark is waiting with Stannis Baratheon and a red headed woman. Verys introduces Sansa to Dany while Missandei introduces Dany to everyone.

They agree to meet, but first Sansa insists on speaking with Daenarys in private. "If I am to be your husband then I should hear what you will say to her…" Stannis demanded.

"Lord Stannis if her majesty wishes to share with you what I am going to show her then that is up to her…" Sansa takes Dany to the secret room and down the passage into the treasure chamber beneath the tombs of her ancestors.

"By the gods!" Dany says.

"This is how I was able to buy all those slaves…The King of Thieves built this chamber and hid the gold here…His name was Daeven Targaryen…" Sansa told Dany about her vision, then she showed her the Journal. "I took half the gold which includes what I spent to buy armies allies etc…"

"Half!" Dany asked in disbelief as there were several mountains of gold left. Iron chests of jewels, gold coins, gold bars, silver, even raw ore of Valeryen steel.

"Yes! After your coronation I intend to return North…" Sansa stairs at Daenarys as she grabs a hand full of coins and throw them into the air. "So will you share this with Stannis…"

Dany looks at Sansa, "He has to earn my trust and love first…"

"I'm sorry it was the only way to avoid another war…"

They leave the treasure chamber and meet in the small council chamber. Melisandre leans over to Stannis and whispers, "See my lord you become King…"

Sansa sits at the other end of the table with Daenarys, "So will you share this secret with your future husband?" Stannis asked.

"You don't know me Lord Baratheon and I you…As such trust and love must be earned don't you agree?"

Stannis looks at Melisandre who nods and whispers into his ear, "Very well then…"

"I think…" Dany interrupts Stannis, "I realize you believe that you have a claim to the Iron Throne, but I am the mother of Dragons of House Targaryen…I shall be Queen and you shall sit at my side as my husband and Hand of the Queen…"

Stannis sneers, "You were born after my brother the Usurper took the throne…What was left of your family fled Westeros…I should be King…"

"It is the will of the Lord of Lights…" Melisandre said adding her voice to what was said.

Sansa remained quiet and watched as Dany smiled, "Tell me priestess where does light come from?" Melisandre hesitates, "No answer…Fire! Light comes from fire and what do Dragons breath? Fire! So where does the Lord of Lights get his power…The seven bowed before the Dragons and so does your lord of lights…"

Stannis looks at Melisandre who lowered her head, "I am the chosen one…"

Dany stands up, "I am the mother of Dragons either yield or burn the choice is yours…"

Stannis looks at Sansa, "Your father before he died believed that I should be King…Because I am next in line and my brother had no true born heirs…Will side with the man your father chose or this exile…"

Sansa rubs her stomach, "My father isn't here…If he were he probably would support you over Daenarys…As it stands I speak for my house now and I choose the Mother of Dragons…"

Stannis looks to Melsiandre again but she remains quiet. He slowly sits down, "Hail Queen Daenarys…"

"You are King and you will have power, but I am Queen, my power shall be greater than yours and our children will rule…"

"What of the North?" Davos asks. "I have come to an agreement with Queen Sansa of the North…One of our children will marry one of hers and there shall be no war…"

They discussed many other things then the meeting was adjourned. The Coronation was held first and then Stannis and Daenarys were married a week later. Dany had convinced Sansa to stay for the wedding. "It is time I returned home…" Sansa said to Daenarys as they walked through the garden.

"I will miss you…" Dany says to Sansa. Over half of Sansas army had marched North to take the Twins from Walder Frey who was beheaded at the Twins along with all his sons, daughters, and grandchildren. Sansa remained at the Twins until the baby was and she named him Eddard Stark II after her father.
