Chapter 61 - The Preparations Before the Coronation (VI)
"What would you do if you were the target of countless gods? I like to think I'd want to cut everyone's head off, but unfortunately that's not possible, at least at the moment. Who knows in the future." God-Emperor of Planetos, Aenar I Targaryen.

"It's a good sword." Looking at Dawn in his hand, Aenar commented with a smile on his lips. His eyes were glowing with a phosphorescent light, seeing a certain timeline unfolding before him.
Looking at Leda, still kneeling, Aenar returned the sword and waited for the girl's oath.
Leda, knowing what she had to say, began to speak while still kneeling in front of Aenar. "I, Leda, Sword of the Morning of House Dayne, stand before your grace, my king, with this sword as proof of my loyalty. I swear by my honor and my blood to protect your majesty and the kingdom until my last breath. My steel will be your steel, and my fate will be intertwined with yours."
Aenar smiled and replied: "I, Aenar Targaryen, First of My Name, King of the Andals, the Roinars and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm accept your oath, Leda of House Dayne."
"So, Leda of House Dayne, I ask you for the third time. Will you give up your titles and possessions to serve me until your last breath?"
"Yes." Leda answered without any hesitation.
"Will you abandon your role as a woman and never be able to marry and have children?"
"Yes." Leda answered without any hesitation.
"Then rise, Leda of House Dayne, Lady Commander of the Kingsguard." Aenar ordered and Leda stood up.
