Synopsis

Dany wakes up beside Daario, she hesitant about her upcoming wedding. Daario asks her to marry him instead, but truly that she cannot and will not. Outside the Yunkai are massing more ships, building siege weapons to throw rocks at the city. However, no rams or siege towers are built, the siege is intended to instill famine and disease to force Meereen to succumb.

Daario introduces Dany to the three Dornishmen who say that they had specific gifts for the queen. Quentyn Martell, Gerris Drinkwater, and Archibald Yronwood, who defected to Daario Naharis, reveal themselves to Dany. A parchment is presented, describing a secret pact of alliance signed by Willem Darry and Oberyn Martell, thought to be sealed by marriage of Viserys and Arianne Martell. She laughs when she learns who Quentyn is, as his mercenary nickname was frog, she connects the story of a frog turning into a prince.

Dany remembers Quaithe's earlier prophecy. The glass Candles are burning. Soon comes the pale mare, and after her the others. Kraken and Dark flame, lion and griffin, the sun's son and the mummer's dragon. Trust none of them. Remember the Undying. Beware the perfumed seneschal. She connects Quentyn and the arms of House Martell as the sun's son she must be wary about.

Daenerys refuses to marry Quentyn in their stead, they make one last plea before the wedding which she denies, and goes through with her marriage to Hizdahr zo Loraq.
