iron throne of ice and fire

Chapter 643 Each Person's Desire 3
A rotting body and icy blue eyes...

It will instinctively attack any living person it sees...

Its strength was astonishing, as if it could break through that sturdy iron cage...

A ghoul, a monster that feels no pain or fear.

Inside the dungeon, as the heavy cell doors slowly closed, the ghouls' howls gradually compressed from wild screams into muffled buzzing.

Outside the prison gates, Princess Arianne, who had witnessed the legendary White Walkers, turned pale and instinctively grabbed Queen Daenerys's arm.

The torches on the wall flickered. Daenerys patted the back of her hand and asked softly, "Are you alright?"

Princess Arianne shook her head, paused, and then parted her red lips slightly: "I hope I'm dreaming..."

Her clear, bright eyes were fixed on the Queen: "Your Majesty, those stories weren't made up; they're all true, aren't they?"

Daenerys nodded slightly: "That is the real reason why Grimm went to Winterfell."

"yes……"

Princess Arianne nodded. "I should have known. Stannis is nothing but a stray dog; why would King Grin personally intervene? No, I thought it was to appease Stark. No, I was wrong..."

Queen Daenerys patted Arianne again: "My dear, let's go. You need a cup of Summer Red now."

Then, seeing the Queen's gaze shift to him, Leighton nodded slightly: "Your Majesty, Sir Humphrey and I will remain here, please rest assured."

"Yes, thank you both."

Only after the red cloaks of the Queen's guards disappeared into the dimly lit corridor did Sir Humphrey withdraw his gaze and then exhale.

After a pause, he spoke somewhat cautiously: "Lord Layton, there are no secrets in the Red Keep. I have some... concerns."

Humphrey Vyssle went through countless hardships in his efforts to capture the ghoul, and nearly fell into the arms of the Stranger several times.

The generous reward promised by King Green was within reach, and he didn't want to cause trouble at the last minute and ruin all his previous efforts.

"I know that if the secret of the ghouls is revealed before the king and queen are ready, it could easily cause panic."

Looking at Humphrey, the young Layton was unusually calm: "So, I chose the dungeon, because only here will no one else's eyes or ears be there."

……

Mega Tower Small Hall.

After Princess Arianne drank her third cup of Summer Red, she leaned back in her chair, paused, and suddenly said, "I don't know how to express it..."

She touched Daenerys's chest: "...Uh, thank you for your trust, Your Majesty."

Daenerys shook her head gently: "This is also Green's decision. Arianne, you are the Lord Minister of Justice and the heir to the Prince of Dorne. You must know this."

Arianne leaned back again, her large, full breasts rising and falling slowly, and nodded: "Yes, the Prince of Dorne and the Dornish people need time; we are not ready yet."

"At first, I even thought..."

As she spoke, Arianne shrugged: "But when I think of you and His Majesty Green, I am immediately filled with confidence again."

Daenerys couldn't help but touch her lower abdomen: "Yes, we must drive out the evil forces."

Arianne looked up and murmured, "It's cruel, but...maybe this war is a good thing for me."

She paused, then displayed her decisive side, standing up from her chair: "Your Majesty Daenerys, I will find a reasonable excuse to return to Sunspear as soon as possible."

She bowed deeply to the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms: "I will lead the Dornish army north to await your and the King's command."

……

“Your Majesty.” Not long after Arianne left, Lady Surana appeared in the small hall, bowing with a teapot and teacups in hand.

Then, she handed him a steaming cup of black tea: "Are you feeling better?"

Daenerys lowered her eyes slightly, gently stroked her lower abdomen, and couldn't help but reveal a sweet smile: "I'm fine. I just suddenly felt a little nauseous this morning, only for a short while."

Steward Surana stood with perfect posture, praising with a stern face, "The little master is healthy and lively."

Daenerys couldn't help but chuckle: "Ms. Surana, there's no need to be so nervous. Both Grand Maester Paisell and Dean Coburn said that my health is excellent."

Then, her eyes welled up with tears, for some reason—she had been thinking of Green lately, missing his embrace, his voice, his caresses…

She took a slow breath. At this moment, she could only tell herself that she had to be strong; she was the queen of the seven kingdoms.

She placed her hand on her lower abdomen and whispered, "What is he doing right now..."

Steward Surana glanced out the sunlit window, paused for a moment, and said, "His Majesty Green is probably looking at a map. Since inheriting Whisper City, this has become his greatest hobby."

……

……

There were three heads, one big and two small, surrounding the table. The three of them were Green, Arya, and Rickon.

It was covered with a map of the North.

Green glanced at the two earnest-looking wolf cubs with a hint of helplessness: "Aren't you going out to play?"

He looked away: "It's rare for Lady Caitlin to be so 'generous,' you should cherish it."

Arya's eyes lit up: "Grin, my brother and I are here to help you."

Upon hearing this, little Rick nodded in agreement with his sister.

Green raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Are you two going to help me devise a battle plan?"

The siblings nodded in unison and said loudly, "Of course."

"Okay, thank you."

Green shrugged: "Right now, I'm mainly focused on mobilizing supplies. We have 50,000 men, and the main tasks are preparing enough bread, cured meat, and, well, horse feed. Sansa has already arranged more than half of it..."

His smile was wicked: "...In that case, the rest is up to you."

The Stark siblings were both stunned. How did they know how to make these things?!

Arya paused, then pouted, "You like Sansa too?"

Little Rickon then said nervously and excitedly, "I'm going to find my mom for help!"

Green looked them over with amusement: "So, what brings you here today?"

Once they realized Greene was just joking, Arya and Rickon exchanged a glance and spoke almost simultaneously: "We want to travel too!"

Arya immediately frowned and said, "Lady Catelyn is so biased. Rickon and I have to stay in Winterfell."

His gaze swept over Arya and Rickon, and Green slowly spoke: "Is it possible that you're both too young?"

After a pause, he asked again, "Or have you heard any news?"

Arya immediately nodded vigorously: "I heard that Sir Mundon will be heading to Long Lake in a few days (located northeast of Winterfell, about a seven-day journey). Can Rick and I go together?"

As soon as she finished speaking, little Rickon immediately chimed in, "We want to go together!"
