Chapter 145 - Home sweet home (VI)
"I gave you a chance, but you chose to die. So be it. Die while I watch the light in your eyes go out." Daenerys Targaryen spoke, looking at the nobles who refused to bend the knee.

Looking at the nobles without fiefdoms and the wandering knights, Daenerys spoke with a calm tone, "Kneel or die. There is no third option."
Her lilac eyes regarded those men with indifference. While the people were dying, these people just locked themselves in their mansions and ignored everything that was happening in King's Landing.
In her eyes, these people were leeches, parasites of King's Landing, always enjoying the benefits of the city, but giving nothing back in return. In short, a bunch of ungrateful and petty people, greedy for money and political power at court.
Hearing Daenerys' words, most of them didn't hesitate to kneel. They had no choice, or they would die.
Daenerys' eyes focused not on the people who knelt, but on those who remained standing.
There were five men of different ages. The oldest didn't look a day over thirty. The others were younger, though equally resolute in their actions.
Karl looked at the Mad King's daughter and smiled mockingly.
"Your father killed mine, burning him alive just to satisfy his sick pleasure. I'd rather die than kneel to the daughter of my father's murderer."
The other men had similar backgrounds. Each of them had lost relatives burned alive by order of the Mad King. How could they kneel before Daenerys?
