An Interview with Daenerys Targaryen

The first Part of this Blog will be an Interview. As you could already read in the title Deanerys will get interviewed. I'm not really a fan of Daenerys but I tried to write her in an unbiased way and as authentic as possible.

_______________

Reporter:

Today we are here to Interview Daenerys Stormborn of the House Targaryen, the First of Her Name, The Unburnt, Queen of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men, Queen of Meereen, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea. Protector of the Realm, Lady Regnant of the Seven Kingdoms, Breaker of Chains and Mother of Dragons just before her department from Meereen to Westeros. Deanerys, how do you feel to finally return to Westeros?

Daenerys Targaryen:

I am obviously looking forward to finally set foot on the Land that my ancestors have built up over the decades and to take the throne that is mine by right.

Reporter:

Yours by right? According to the right of Conquest the Targaryens lost all their claim to the Throne with the successful Rebellion?

Daenerys Targaryen:

The Targaryens ARE the throne. We have ruled the seven Kingdoms for hundres of years and with my return this will hopefully be the case again. The people need a real Queen again, someone to guide them. Not one of the that tried to claim the throne for themselves without caring for the smallfolk and the people beneath them.

Reporter:

But do YOU really care for the people beneath you? Of course you tried to free the slaves but some people claim that you just make them your own. They willingly sell themselves back into slavery. Doesn't this mean that something went wrong there?

Daenerys Targaryen

Of course I care for them. Seeing the slaves made me abandon my main mission, to reclaim Westeros, in the first place. If not for me they would still suffer under their Masters without any hope. I freed them and gave them a better life but after being suppressed for so many years freedom feels like a greater burden to bare for those that aren't used to it.

Reporter:

I understand, but just look at this. Look at Meereen, the Slaver's bay, or Dragon's bay how you call it now. You are going to leave this behind in chaos. If you really would care for the people, doesn't this include everyone? Isn't it wrong to leave this city behind?

Daenerys Targaryen:

Meereen is free now. This is what matters.

The people have been oppressed for so long and my army will make sure that this never happens. A life in chaos is better than a life in slavery. They have the chance to begin anew, to build up the life they want to live.

Reporter:

What was Meereen for you?

Daenerys Targaryen:

My first attempt at ruling? The first step to a place where everyone can live in freedom? It doesn't matter. I might have made mistakes during my regency over this city, but these mistakes are nothing compared to what I gave these people. Meereen is not my home, but it will always stay a part of me.

Reporter:

People claim that often you act against your own morality and values. What did you feel when you had 163 slavers, some of them innocent, crucified without a fair trial. Isn't this fighting injustice with injustice?

Daenerys Targaryen

Justice is for those who deserve it. People who have done injustice don't deserve any better. Those slave masters were guilty. And even those who didn't agree aren't innocent. They stood in the middle of all this and did nothing to stop it from happening.

Reporter:

Why do you think that you are any better than the other Kings and Queens? There is no such thing as being Queen of the Free.

Daenerys Targaryen:

I AM the Queen of the Free. Even free people need someone to guide them, to show them the right way, and I am this person. Unlike others I won't leave anyone behind on this journey. I will be their Queen and give them a better life.

Reporter

Thank you for this interview and good fortune in the wars to come.

The Sept of Baelor - A Report

Reporter:

"Only hours after the tragedy at the Sept of Baelor we are still investigating but of course didn't want to withhold the most recent news. After the imprisonment of the Tyrells and later, Cersei Lannister, they have to answer for their crimes. The trial was supposed to happen at the Great Sept of Baelor but Cersei didn't appear to her trial. Only hours later the sept is nothing more than a pile of ashes and are the people that had been inside. We are now here, talking to one of the survivors, a merchant with a market stand nearby. What can you tell us?"

Witness (Merchant):

"It was horrible! First, I had planned to visit the sept myself to be present when those nobles finally get what they deserve but I decided against it at the last minute. With so many people here I had to use the opportunity of selling some of my products. If you ask me, it was Cersei. I've always been saying that she had gone mad but this is Proof. PROOF!"

Reporter:

"As we could hear is the former Queen Cersei one of the suspects. It is indeed quite suspicious that she was the only one not to attend the trial. Was after all everything planned by her? In our last article we talked about how Queen Margaery and Cersei have a certain rivalry. Could this have been her chance, her possibility to get rid of all her enemies at once? We are still waiting for an official statement from King Tommen, since people rumor that he hasn't been present either, but could it have been him? We doubt it, but let's listen to another witness of this tragedy. A servant from the Red Keep. What can you tell us about the events? "

Witness (Servant):

It is just shocking. So many people are dead. Our good Queen Margaery... gone. I belive it was Cersei. She always hated her and this was her chance to kill her and everyone that might seek revenge. This morning I walked past the King's chambers and saw how he wanted to leave but that giant monster of Cersei stopped the King. Can you imagine that? And that scary old man that has been wandering around thcastle lately... some other handmaidens have heard him talking to Cersei about Wildfire hidden under the sept. I am speechless."

Reporter:

"Thank you for your input. At the moment Cersei seems like the most eligible candidate. She has the motives and certainly the power for such an act, but as always we will investigate further on this. Until next time!"

With these words, until next time! I hope you liked it and I want to thank you for reading.
