All kneel for His Magnificence Hizdahr zo Loraq, Fourteenth of That Noble Name, King of Meereen, Scion2 of Ghis, Octarch of the Old Empire, Master of the Skahazadhan, Consort3 to Dragons and Blood of the Harpy,” roared the herald4. His voice echoed off the marble floor and rang amongst the pillars.
Ser Barristan Selmy slipped a hand beneath the fold of his cloak and loosened his sword in its scabbard. No blades were allowed in the presence of the king save those of his protectors. It seemed as though he still counted amongst that number despite his dismissal. No one had tried to take his sword, at least.
Daenerys Targaryen had preferred to hold court from a bench of polished ebony, smooth and simple, covered with the cushions that Ser Barristan had found to make her more comfortable. King Hizdahr had replaced the bench with two imposing6 thrones of gilded7 wood, their tall backs carved into the shape of dragons. The king seated himself in the right-hand throne with a golden crown upon his head and a jeweled sceptre in one pale hand. The second throne remained vacant.
The important throne, thought Ser Barristan. No dragon chair can replace a dragon no matter how elaborately it’s carved.
To the right of the twin thrones stood Goghor the Giant, a huge hulk of a man with a brutal8, scarred face. To the left was the Spotted9 Cat, a leopard10 skin flung over one shoulder. Back of them were Belaquo Bonebreaker and the cold-eyed Khrazz. Seasoned killers11 all, thought Selmy, but it is one thing to face a foe13
