Daenerys comes to the realization that she cannot face her internal and external threats alone, and must marry Hizdahr zo Loraq. Simon and Mackelly fuss over the bride-to-be.
Chapter Review:
Daenerys Targaryen clashes with Admiral Groleo. He wants her to unleash the dragons on the blockading ships, she wants him to build ships and fight her enemies. Thus far Hizdahr zo Loraq has been true to his word: 26 days with no murders.
Skahaz mo Kandaq, the Shavepate, has been spying on Hizdahr and reports that he has visited 11 of the great families’ pyramids. The Shavepate is convinced that Hizdahr has this kind of control because he is in control - and thinks a bit of firm questioning would draw out a confession. Daenerys doesn’t doubt Skahaz’ ability to extract information, she just doubts its usefulness.
The Green Grace reports that a rider has come from Astapor bringing the Bloody Flux with him. More refugees follow and Daenerys determines that they will be kept outside the city walls with an attempt made to keep the sick away from the healthy.
Brown Ben Plum returns and also encourages Dany to use her dragons. She is unmoved. But on reflection she realizes that she cannot face the external threat until she’s suppressed the internal one. To cut that knot she decides she must marry Hizdahr.
