What it means to be King.

This is utter insanity, this is no war this is just a blunt massacare Layanna protested seeing the devastation that Elijah and his dragons had brought upon the enemy forces.

Where is the honor in all of this?

He clearly knows that they don't have the capacity to fight him and want to surrender.

But still he is burning them in Dragon fire ! How can this be called a war.

How can a King loved by everyone fight like this.

He is no King he is a demon! Cried Layanna.

It's precisely that Elijah is King that he is has to do this , Lilith came to Elijah 's defense.

What do you think it means to be King?

A King is the shield of for the people of his Kingdom and the First sword of justice for them.

Our way is the old way Layanna Stark, and you have to come to terms with this if you ever want to join the family. Lilith further said.

True that Layanna this is how even the old kings of winter used to be. Just cause everyone in Westeros now have demented notions on how a king should be doesn't mean that Elijah is wrong. Rather he has to be this way to prevent future mishaps this time it was two thousand and if he doesn't give a reply that sends shivers down the spine of our enemies then next time it can and will be even more , what would you suggest we do if next time say ten thousand or even twenty thousand of our people are targeted. Don't forget fear is a very strong deterent and after today no one will ever think of harming our people cause they would know that the price they would have to pay would be in fire and blood Ragnar further supported Lilith.

Meanwhile in the castle of Myr,

Sire we need to surrender this guy is a demon, if he arrives on shore then he would burn and slauter everyone one of us!!!

Please sire I beg you!

Let's surrender!
