We've known for a while now already that Daenerys Targaryen is probably the most badass queen you can ever name. Tonite's episode of Game of Thrones reveals her ascension to an even higher level of baddassery. SPOILER alert below:

Before all of that, let's recap. Daenerys is Queen and mother of dragons.

Her negotiation skills are somewhat a strong point for her position as Queen of Every Damn Thing.

Needless to say, this scene was the one we've been waiting for:
