(Sanguis has blessed her and no one can tell her differently. Daenerys is standing before a mirror, running her fingertips over the horns protruding from her head. However those additions do not thrill her as much as the leathery wings on her back.
If her smile makes you feel a bit uncomfortable, that is understandable. The scales on her cheeks and the fact that her blue eyes are anything but human don't help matters, however there is an undefinable quality about her. Perhaps this isn't a blessing after all.)

The only difference is you were doing what you could to fight an obvious foe. I turned my might, my armies against my own people. Of course my foe was hiding behind them, using the common folk as a shield, but that doesn't explain why I -
