Chapter 180 - Attack on the Great Sept of Baelor (I)
"Go and find your damn god." Daenerys to the fanatic in front of her.

During the night, no one slept in anticipation of the attack in a few hours. The Sardaukar protected the entire Red Keep, especially the room Daenerys and Rhaella were using to sleep. This was the most protected place, with five hundred Sardaukar guarding the room.
Daenerys was helping Rhaella wear light leather armor while she herself was dressed in black and red leather armor. Plate armor really was the pinnacle of casting technology, but they were heavy for women, especially Daenerys who was neither big nor strong.
Although Rhaella could wear plate armor, she still chose to wear leather armor, just like her daughter. She wouldn't have been on the front line anyway. There was a reason why generals and commanders didn't go and fight in person. Once these people died, the chain of command would become chaotic and passing on orders would become quite challenging.
"Are you excited?" Rhaella asked as Daenerys buckled her armor tightly, making it practically a second skin.
"A little." Daenerys said as she tried to see if anything was missing from her mother's armor. "However, since I won't be on the front line, I'm not that excited."
"You don't need to be on the front line to help the army, the soldiers are already motivated knowing that their queen is on the battlefield." Rhaella moved her body to check her mobility in her armor and spoke in a gentle tone.
"Often our presence is enough to boost the army's morale." She said, looking at her daughter with affection and pride. Although Daenerys was young, she acted more like a queen than any other woman.
When she was Daenerys' age, she was choosing dresses and jewelry instead of taking part in a war. Rhaella understood that the circumstances in Essos made her daughter mature faster than other children.
"Mother, after the attack on the Great Sept of Baelor, I will march with the army towards Old Town." Daenerys said, causing Rhaella to frown, but she didn't say anything against it. Her daughter was a queen and an adult.
