When Daenerys returned to Meereen with her loyal commanders Daario and Jorah after the two brave warriors rescued her from the hands of the Dothraki leader Khal Moro, she was overwhelmed by the drastic changes that had come about during her absence.
Before leaving to search for their Khaleesi, Daario and Jorah had left Meereen in the hands of Tyrion Lannister, who was brought to Meereen by Varys the master of whispers. Tyrion who fled King's Landing after murdering his own father Lord Tywin managed to make an impression on the Khaleesi and was appointed as an advisor.
Upon her return, Daenerys saw that Tyrion had succeeded in bringing peace to the city, something she and her capable commanders had tried and failed miserably. She was more than impresses to hear as to how Tyrion with skillful strategy managed to eliminate every last member of the underground insurgent group who called themselves 'the sons of harpy'. The rebel group had been the greatest threat to the Khaleesi's rule and was proving to be a deadly menace.
Seated on her high throne in the presence of her commanders and the noblemen of Meereen, Daenerys called Tyrion to come forward. As Tyrion came and stood in front, Daenerys began to commend him for the service he had rendered towards her and to the city of Meereen.
"Ask anything of me and it shall be granted to you", Daenerys declared as a gesture of gratitude for what he had accomplished.
For a moment Tyrion seemed to think on the Khaleesi's offer. But he already knew what he wanted long before the queen asked her.
"My queen, if you would find me deserving, I shall very much like to have your handmaiden Missandei as my wife", Tyrion replied making his wish known.
The whole room was suddenly taken aback and the silence was broken by the sound of chattering from among those present. The commander of the unsullied warriors Grey Worm who had a deep liking for Missandei stood silent in the corner, his face showing no emotions.
"Silence!" Daenerys shouted as the noises dissolved.
"This request I cannot fulfill without the consent of my handmaiden. She is old enough to have a husband, and she will decide it for herself" The Khaleesi declared.
Then she calmly turned to her beautiful young handmaiden who was standing next to her.
"Missandei my loyal hand maiden, would you be willing to marry Tyrion of house Lannister?" She asked.
"It would be an honor my queen to be the wife of a great Lord such as Tyrion. I accept with all my heart" Missandei replied with a graceful smile. With that the beautiful young handmaiden proceeded to walk down the steps towards Tyrion.
Watching Missandei take her place next to her husband, Daenerys pronounced to the people gathered, "I Daenerys Stormborn of the House Targaryen, the First of Her Name, Queen of Meereen, Queen of the Andals and the First Men, Lady Regnant of the Seven Kingdoms, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, Mhysa, Breaker of Chains, the Unburnt, Mother of Dragons, do hereby decree that Missandei of the island of Naath shall belong to Lord Tyrion Lannister, to be called his wife from this day till her last day"
Then she fixed her gaze upon the new couple and continued "Missandei, it is my wish that you serve Lord Tyrion with the same love and devotion with which you served me. And my request to you Lord Tyrion is that you would show my most loyal handmaiden and trusted advisor Missandei the same respect and faithfulness that you have shown me".
Daenerys then called for a celebration for the next three days in honor of the newly wed and made her way out the hall.
Ser Jorah being the gentleman that he is was the first to come forward and congratulate Tyrion on his good fortune, followed by Varys, and then the leaders of Meereen, all comming forward to acknowledge Tyrion's rightful claim to Missandei.
Much to the anguish of Grey Worm who was still standing at the corner holding his post, confused and broken. He though he had a connection with missandei, that she too liked him as much as he liked her. He watched as Missandei by Tyrion's side as they met the leaders one by one.
