章節 22: chapter 22 : An unpleasant queen
Tyrion and Oberyn accompanied him into the courtroom where Daenerys sat on her throne in height .
She had Varys, Daario Naharis, Missandei and Ser Barristan Selmy at her side.
In front of them at the bottom on steps were Unsullied with Grey Worm at the top providing security.
When Daenerys saw Jon, she straightened up slightly because she had never in her life met such a handsome man.
Jon looked at her and found her beautiful but not attractive enough because in all his life he was never attracted to women of noble birth.
Missandei started to introduce Daenerys and at all her long titles, it was so long that Jon yawned at one point until it was his turn to introduce himself.
Jon: Jon Stark, Captain Commander of the Night's Watch and Protector of the Wall. What do you want from me, ma'am?
Daenerys: Weren't you taught how to address a queen?
Jon: I don't have any king or queen.
She first looked sternly at Tyrion then at Oberyn who was doing his best to hold back his laughter.
Daenerys: By bloodline and name I am the rightful heir to the Iron Throne and your queen, Lord Stark.
Jon: I'm not a lord.
Daenerys: I heard about you long before Tyrion offered to bring you here. You are admired by all the people of the North and even by many in the South, you have restored to an order in full decline an even greater glory than in the past. Bend your knee and swear loyalty to me then I will make you governor of the North. Your ancestor and last king of the North bent his knee to mine in a lifelong oath.
Jon: An oath that was broken when your father the Mad King had my grandfather and uncle burned alive in King's Landing.
Daenerys: Please do not judge the girl by her father's faults, I also ask for your forgiveness for what happened.
Jon: Because you still think it's about me? You and the Lannisters are no different for us in the North, you see our territory as a nice piece of meat that you want to take over but ma'am, the North has suffered enough.
Daenerys: Do you know what dragons are, Jon Stark ? Do you know what they will do to those who do not submit?
Jon: This is the last time you threaten me ma'am, I've had a long trip and I'm quite tired so the next time you threaten me things are going to go very badly. I don't intend to ally myself with a host who threatens his guests without giving them rest after having brought them from far away.
Daario: He threatens the queen!
Jon: It's your queen who threatened me, you idiot! She threatens an entire people about whom she knows nothing and hopes that we will follow her. She and her ancestors never knew anything about the North but always wanted to bring us to their knees. (looks at Tyrion) Did you bring me here to be threatened ?! You want me to follow someone who relies on their dragons to be followed?
Tyrion: Jon-(interrupted)
Daenerys: ENOUGH! (High Valyrian) unsullied, seize him and we will see if a night in a cell will make him more docile.
Tyrion: Your Majesty, don't do that.
Barristan: Your Majesty, maybe it's not-(interrupted)
Daenerys: Quiet!
The unsullied pointed their spears to start walking towards Jon who only smiled before unsheathing Longclaw and calmly walking towards the unsullied before suddenly accelerating to such speed that he left an afterimage of him on his passage.
He dodged the unsullied and in an instant, Jon's blade was on Daenerys' neck. Neither Daario Naharis nor Barristan even had time to draw his blade and the expression on Daenerys' face was just paralyzed by the fear and shock she had.
Jon: (to Barristan and Daario) At the slightest move, I'll cut off her head. (to Daenerys) We're not threatening anymore? We no longer talk about his dragons? They are not here ma'am but without them what are you worth? Hum? I've heard about what you've done and the injustices you've tried to right in the bay, your intentions are good but I'll give you a little advice for our first and hopefully last meeting...
Daenerys:…
Jon: Do you want people to understand you and follow you? Nuilding strong and sincere alliances with you? Start to know them, then understand them and understand their needs to finally offer them something that will allow them to get by following you and not by threatening people.
He withdrew his blade and sheathed it before heading back down the stairs.
"I will leave tomorrow evening and stay in a brothel or an inn, there is no question that I will be staying with such a bad host as you madam, I will bid you farewell at the same time." He said as he left as Daenerys wanted to speak but nothing could come out of her mouth as Tyrion and Oberyn tried to catch up with him.
"Majesty, the young captain is renowned for his beauty, his strength in combat but also his intelligence and wisdom. You are my queen and that is why I must tell you that he's right, you cannot count on your dragons to win the love of your people." Varys said calmly to Daenerys as he bowed.
Daenerys: Such strength!! I received him poorly and looked down on him, he's right. How can I gain his sympathy?
Daario: In my opinion, your majesty, it is too late. He said he hopes this is your first and last meeting.
Daenerys: What he said and what I want are two different things Daario Naharis.
Daario:…
Later that day, Jon and Oberyn were drinking apple liqueur on a balcony in the big inn near a brothel.
Oberyn: So my young friend, what do you think of the mother of dragons ?
Jon: I don't like her, she's the type to go crazy like his father later. She is the only Targaryen left and none of her peers more experienced to moderate his future excesses. His only living relative is the maester of Castle Black.
Oberyn: Don't you want to knock her over a bit ?!
Jon: No, I prefer low birth girls. They don't spoil life with their demands and they are aware of hunger, thirst, danger, they know the real world.
Oberyn: The mother of dragons has had some adventures, it seems. By the way, you're leaving tomorrow so I'd be grateful if you could take me back to Dorne.
Jon: Of course, give me news from Dorne. How are your brother Doran and his son, Trystane?
Oberyn: My brother is in better shape than me, it's surprising and he's even a better fighter since you did your thing to him, Trystane is also a real fighting monster. What did you do to them ?! What was this massage ?
Jon: It's a secret.
Oberyn: How about trying one of my massages?
Jon: I prefer women my friend.
Oberyn: You might very well like both, just like me.
Jon: (laughs) One day you'll get castrated by someone for being so insistent.
Oberyn: That day, Dorne will lose its finest spear.
They started laughing when later, Jon saw something, masked men had just slit the throats of soldiers with the complicity of the prostitutes with whom they were spending a moment of drinking in the courtyard of the brothel next door, Oberyn saw it. also seen.
They also heard a noise in their building and went to look to find several of these masked men injured or dead while Jon's men were holding down some prostitutes, one of the men saw Jon and made a report to him.
"Captain Commander, we were having a good time when those cowards attacked us and some whores who were complicit with them tried to attack us too. the man said as the bells outside rang in alarm.
Jon: Tie up these women for questioning and don't be gentle because they're women, they tried to kill you.
"Understood Captain." the sworn brother said bowing slightly before carrying out Jon's orders with the other sworn brothers.
