iron throne of ice and fire

Chapter 582: Journey to the Dragon Cave
During the Targaryen dynasty, according to tradition, Dragonstone would be conferred upon the king's heir, who would become the Prince of Dragonstone.

After the Rebellion, Robert Baratheon gave Dragonstone to Stannis and named him the Lord of Dragonstone.

Sixteen years later, the war in Westeros was reignited, and Dragonstone was eventually incorporated into the territory of the Crabbe family.

In 300 AC, the newly crowned Grimm I "gave" this old Targaryen land to his future wife, Daenerys I, in the name of a gift, in the presence of the gods, lords and knights.

……

The morning mist flowed on the surface of the Black Water River like liquid moonlight.

The marigold flag and the three-headed dragon flag fluttered in the air, and the cheers of the people around the dock gradually faded away.

At this time, Green and Daenerys were standing at the dock, and a gauze-like white mist was floating above the Blackwater River.

According to the tradition of the Seven Kingdoms, Daenerys Targaryen is about to visit Dragonstone to announce to the Seven Kingdoms that the Targaryen family's former direct territory has officially returned.

Looking in the direction of Dragonstone, Daenerys's little hand couldn't help but hold Green's big hand tightly: "Dear, I'm a little excited."

"I'd like you to calm the miners on the island. I heard they are a little uneasy."

Green took her hand and kissed the back of her hand. He then said, "Dragonstone is where you were born."

Looking at her, the corners of his mouth curved slightly: "Dani, I'm happy for you too."

Looking up at the gentle yet powerful man, Daenerys's purple gemstone eyes were glistening with light.

"Thank you, my knight."

Green smiled, then suddenly coughed and said, "When you come back, you must behave well, Queen Dany."

Hearing this, Daenerys first tilted her head, then took his arm and smiled.

Her slightly hoarse voice carried a hint of temptation: "As you command, Your Majesty."

When their brown eyes met their purple eyes, both Green and Daenerys smiled silently.

……

"set sail!"

woo woo woo woo--

As the low and long trumpet sound tore through the fog, the "Dragonstone Princess" docked at the dock slowly left the port.

Green stood on the dock with his hands behind his back, and Daenerys' figure on the ship gradually became blurred.

It seemed that Danny had always been the one watching him leave.

His chest rose and fell slowly, and with a flick of his cloak, Green took a step forward. The ministers and knights around him immediately surrounded him and left the dock.

A thousand heavily armored blue-robed soldiers led by Mondon and Hound...

One hundred Crab Claw Peninsula female warriors carefully selected from the ten thousand Thorn Corps (Chapter 510, the remaining 100 people stayed behind in Meg Tower)...

Seventy-seven Knights of the Valley...

Lord Davos's fleet escorts...

The seven Queen's Guards, led by Ser Barristan...

...The "firepower" should be enough to ensure safety.

As he thought about it, Green jumped on his horse and kicked the horse's belly lightly. The king's team slowly moved towards the Linhe Gate.

Today in the Kingdom of Targaryen-Crable, both the King and Queen are very busy.

While Green was patrolling, the king's team passed through the city of King's Landing, with the destination being the Dragon's Lair, a huge nest-like building located on the top of the Rhaenys Hill (inside the city, northeast).

The Dragonpit, where the Targaryens once kept their dragons, is now a fire-blackened ruin, its great dome having collapsed from within.

The huge bronze door of the dragon's lair has been closed for more than a century (the dragon's lair collapsed in the late stage of the Blood Dragon's Dance).

Arriving at the top of Rhaenys Hill, Green sat on the saddle and looked at the towering ruins.

The sound of horse hooves startled a flock of crows, which fluttered over the collapsed dome of the dragon's lair. Green urged the horse under his crotch and rode slowly along the periphery, looking at the once huge building.

Before the Dragon's Lair was built, the original building here was the Temple of Thought, which became the base of operations for the Warrior Sons during the Order's armed uprising.

Maegor the Cruel rode his dragon and shed dragon flames to destroy the Temple of Thought directly.

After that, he ordered the clearing of the ruins of the temple and built the Dragon's Lair here.

When Green was about to circle the dragon's lair, a messenger suddenly came on horseback and reported to him: Prime Minister Metz was about to arrive at the dragon's lair and had sent someone to request an audience.

When Green, escorted by Ser Brienne and the Kingsguard, returned to the huge bronze gate, Lord Mace Tyrell was already waiting.

"Good day, my Lord."

"Good day."

Green jumped off his horse, patted Prime Minister Mace who was saluting with his hand on his chest, and smiled: "I was just planning to look for you, my Prime Minister."

"Oh?"

"follow me."

The two men moved their feet, and Green casually swept his finger in the direction of the dragon's lair, and said, "Prime Minister Mace, if we want to repair this place, how many gold royals do you think it will cost?"

"Repairs?"

Prime Minister Mace was only slightly surprised, then raised his head, his eyes roughly sweeping across the huge ruins in front of him.

As he thought, his cheeks slowly swelled up: "If we use the same stone..."

After a pause, he stroked his triangular beard and continued, "It's probably just... a few hundred thousand gold dragons."

After a pause, he turned his gaze to Green: "Your Majesty, are you preparing to keep Queen Daenerys' three-headed dragon in captivity?"

Hearing this, Green shook his head slightly and said directly: "I have read the records about the Targaryen dragons. A closed dragon cave will limit their growth."

As Prime Minister Mace was puzzled, he continued, "I have discussed with Queen Daenerys that we will keep the three dragons outside the city."

After a pause, he continued, "Let's start with cleaning."

Prime Minister Mace was stunned for a moment. After he "digested" the secret that the king had just revealed to him, he slowly spoke: "Rather than repairing, perhaps... it would be more appropriate to say that it is a reconstruction."

His eyes once again swept across the huge ruins in front of him. "Your Majesty Green, I estimate that most of the things here will have to be transported out of the city and thrown away."

Green also looked over, nodded slightly, and said, "We'll discuss the specific matters later. Let's go."

After walking a few steps, Prime Minister Metz couldn't help but ask curiously: "Your Majesty, are you planning to rebuild this place..."

Green stopped and looked back for a while before answering Prime Minister Mace: "In the rebellion of 17 years ago, countless loyal and brave soldiers died on the battlefield. I plan to..."

His expression became solemn, he sighed, and continued: "...As a king, I have the responsibility to provide a resting place for their heroic spirits."

Green turned around and pointed to the former dragon's lair: "I will build a Hall of Valor here that belongs only to loyal warriors."

As Green finished speaking, Prime Minister Mace froze in place, and then his eyes widened involuntarily: "Hall of Valor?"

Green patted Mays's arm, and he started walking again. His voice floated in the wind: "Heroic spirits live forever, and honor never dies."
