The news program definitely shocked Dany , and her first reaction was to go into full defense team modal value . She focus on the one thing that has gotten her this far : her fight for the throne . Many watcher were surprised she in a flash oppugn if Jon ’s source were reliable , instead of reacting to the fact that she has been log Z’s with her nephew . For fans , this is of a huge no - no — even if we ’ve envision Cersei and Jaime Lannister do the same for the past eight seasons . Yet for Daenerys , it ’s apparently no self-aggrandizing mint .
