4 AGOT Daenerys I: The Way Home

Young Dany must be dressed as a princess to impress the khal who might wed her and bring his army to her brother's cause to regain the throne of Westeros. When she sees her intended, Dany says she doesn't want to marry him and is afraid, but she's more afraid of her brother.

Golden Collar

Viserys says they have the golden blood of old Valyria. Royal blood. Blood of the dragon. When their brother Rhaegar was slain in the waters of the Trident battling the Usurper, Lannister and Stark sacked the capitol. They were rescued from Dragonstone by Ser Willem Darry. He called her "Little Princess." Now she must be dressed as a princess to wed a barbarian so they can return to Westeros with armies enough to take back their father's throne. Dany's dress is accessorized with a golden collar, though not like the ones Drogo's slaves are said to wear.
