My men had arrived, though for reasons they didn't have to know nor I wanted to share, they had to wait on the coast for hours.
But after my shenanigans with my wife, I went down to greet my men, Daenerys by side.
"So this is our fleet?" Daenerys inquired, head high full of regal air, she was so different to other and yet so warm with me.
"It is my Queen," I smiled as I pulled her close to me by her waist, "Do you like it?"
Daenerys giggled as she nodded, "I do, but I think I like the man leading it more,"
"What a lucky man that must be, to be loved by a Queen," I grinned, giving her a quick and sweet peck in the lips.
"He is quite lucky, indeed," Daenerys teased.
Frankly she made me forget at times what world I was in, It was hard not to get lost in those purple mystifying eyes.
"Well, while I would love to kiss you all day my Queen, we have some matters to attend to," I kissed her one last time as I added, "Shall we?"
"Unfortunately you are right, let's," Daenerys nodded.
We approached the ships, as we were greeted by one of the lords, who bowed to us, which was in itself weird, I still had yet to declare myself king of the seven kingdoms.
"Your majesties," The lord bowed, seeing my look of befuddlement the lord elaborated, "You married a Targaryen, we might be dumb, but we ain't that dumb,"
I didn't know if I should be surprised or something else, but he was right nonetheless, "I decided to end this wheel before my marriage, my beautiful wife just makes my conquest even more important, for her enemies are mine,"
With that the lord turned to Daenerys, "My Queen, we first bowed to Dragons and more recently to the Bears, we are honored to serve you both," The lord bowed once again.
Daenerys smiled satisfied with his words.
"Very well," I took a step forward as I asked, "how is the south?"
"Last thing we heard before leaving was that Robert Baratheon broke your betrothal to Sansa Stark and that Lord Stark was appointed as the new hand of the king, and was going south with him," The lord answered, which gave me a rough idea timeline wise where we were.
Daenerys shifted uncomfortably at the mention of Sansa, which reminded me, I had yet to talk with her about that, is just never came up that I was engaged.
"Very well, make sure all men are well rested, tomorrow we begin," I ordered him, as I took my wife by the hand softly to a more private area.
—————————————————————
Once we were alone, I sighed and said, "Ask whatever you want,"
Daenerys eyed me carefully before she asked, with a hint of worry on her voice, "Do you love her?"
"Heavens, no… she is a sweet and innocent girl, but I don't love her, all I feel for her is some kind of brotherly love, if you must put a name to it," I answered, "And because of that brotherly bond that I alone form with her is that I want to protect her,"
Daenerys relaxed with a hint of happiness by my answer as she asked, "But she loves you?"
"I think she does, or at least is in love with the idea of the knight in shining armor I projected," I shrugged playfully, "She might hate me for all I know when she hears I marry you,"
"Good let her, only I get to mount this teddy bear, and if I must be hated for it, so be it," Daenerys laughed, as she gave me a passionate kiss.
"You don't hear me complaining," I smiled, reciprocating the kiss.

After greeting my men at the coast, I went to Illyrio to make sure everything I asked him was in order, weapons, food, medicine and guides to help us understand and find our way in this land.
"Magister, is everything in order?" I inquired, entering his office.
"I have found everything you asked for, from food and maps, to guides and weapons," Illryo nodded, giving a detailed list, including the prices for each thing.
"Good, everything seems to be in order," I said as I check every item on the list, "I will get you the payment soon,"
"Very well, anything else your majesty?" Illryo inquired.
"Nothing for now, that'll be all for now," The time to conquer Essos had finally come, I had the men, the resources and a general idea on how to proceed, "Let the fucking game finally begin,"
—————————————————————
After leaving my men to rest, the unsullied working for Illryo to take care that the stuff I bought got to their hands I decided to go to sleep early.
This might be the last good night of sleep I would probably have in quite a while, I suppose in a way it was my honeymoon with Daenerys, because after today, things would start shaking, War like I never seen or experienced before would begin.
But for today I would enjoy my last free day with my wife, and with that in mind, I entered the room that has been our room since we married.
"I've been waiting for you," Daenerys smiled as she approached me, putting her arms around my neck and legs around my waist as she kissed me, "Tomorrow our destiny awaits, my king,"
"Aye, it does my Queen," I chuckled, as I kissed her back.
"I wanted to talk to you about something," Daenerys said with a somewhat serious tone as if she had done something wrong.
"That never ends well, but go on," I eyed her with curiosity, I don't think there was something besides trying to kill me that would make me angry with her.
"Is about your father," Daenerys said.
Well, maybe I was too hasty to say she can't get me angry, but I wasn't angry at her, I was angry at the soon to be dead man that ignored my threat.
I grabbed my sword and started to leave, "I'll be back, I have an old bear to kill,"
"Wait, hear me out first…" Daenerys said, with eyes that said if what I have to say doesn't convince you, you are free to kill him.
"Very well," I sighed, pushing the huge need to bash my father's skull against the floor.
"I know what he did, he told me so, how he abandoned you, and left you with a broken house," Daenerys said as she grabbed my hands, "I know the sins he committed trying to please that vile woman, instead of thinking of his family, I know all of that,"
"Then you know why I want to kill him," I inquired, curious as to where she was going with this.
"Let him pay for his sins in blood, let him pay what he owes us by fighting for us," Daenerys said with a cold tone, "He wronged you, let him pay with steel all he did, so that his miserable life amounts to something in our name,"
Frankly I was both incredibly aroused and somewhat intrigued, I did not expect her to offer such a deal.
"So in other words, we let him serve, so if he dies is by helping us," I said summarizing what she said.
Daenerys smiled, "Yes, he will pay for your suffering with blood, or with fire but he will pay,"
"Alright, I don't see anything wrong with that," I nodded as I scooped her over with one hand, "Now how about we make this night a memorable one?"
"Don't we do that every night?" Daenerys giggled.
"Is it so bad that I want every night to be memorable?" I smirked.
