Notes

  1. Here translated as "you swore that..." but literally meaning "by (your) promise", the agent of the promise being implied from context.
  2. The use of kesosy instead of the expected kesos here is an unintentional error by Peterson, however it apparently fits the speaker, Hizdahr zo Loraq, a Meereenese noble.
