Game of Thrones: The Red Dragon Lord.

Chapter 116 Brienne's Sudden Arrival
The people in the city looked at the giant dragon circling in the sky and sometimes swooping down in horror. They hid in their homes, closed their doors and windows, and trembled uncontrollably. Children were hugged tightly in their mothers' arms, their clothes soaked with tears. The elderly prayed silently in the corner, praying that this disaster would end soon.

The smoke of battle filled every corner of the city, blood dyed the streets red, and the footsteps and shouts of the soldiers, together with the groans of the wounded, formed a hellish scene.

This fierce battle lasted until noon of the second day, when it finally came to an end. Almost all the mercenaries who participated in the riot in the city were killed. Their bodies were lying on the ground in all directions, and the blood gathered into streams, reflecting a frightening light in the sun. The houses on both sides of the street were dilapidated, and some were still emitting wisps of smoke. The once prosperous city of Rees was now dead silent, as if it had lost its soul.

Gavin's army began to clean up the battlefield in an orderly manner. Carts loaded with food were slowly transported into the city, and the heavy wheels left deep marks on the cobblestone road.

Soldiers conveyed Gavin's orders door to door, and his loud voice echoed in the streets and alleys: "As long as you are responsible for cleaning up the corpses and ruins, you can get food!"

Under the extremely tempting attraction of the food, the civilians of Rees, who had previously kept their doors closed and were full of fear, finally mustered up their courage and began to cautiously walk onto the streets to help clean up the bodies, trembling with fear but full of expectation.

Soldiers set up checkpoints at various intersections to maintain order. They stood as straight as pine trees, with sharp and vigilant eyes, ensuring that the entire situation was firmly under control.

In the Governor's Square, which was once magnificent but had long since been reduced to ashes in the turmoil, countless gold, silver and treasures were piled up into an eye-catching hill, sparkling with dazzling and dazzling light under the bright sunshine.

After a thrilling turmoil, the governors and wealthy merchants of the entire Rees were destroyed like falling stars, and disappeared in the torrent of history. The greedy mercenaries who tried to seize their wealth were also eliminated by Gavin. The ill-gotten gains that were once stained with blood and sin finally gathered here and piled up like a mountain.

People passing by looked at the mountains of treasures, with both amazement at the wealth and sighs for the previous turmoil in their eyes.

Gavin stood on a high place, overlooking it all, thinking in his mind how to rebuild this devastated city and bring it back to life. Next, he would have to take control of the many towns and villages controlled by Lys, as well as face the reactions of Tyrosh and Myr. I'm afraid he will have to stay in Lys for a short period of time.

Stone Steps Archipelago - Bloodstone Island
In the magnificent city lord's palace, the monthly civilian petition was taking place. Daenerys sat upright on the high seat, her posture straight, her eyes majestic and solemn.

Viserion lay quietly at her feet, occasionally flapping his wings lazily. Maester Qyburn and Governor Boris sat beside him, taking notes and giving Daenerys some advice from time to time.

An old man in ragged clothes stepped forward first. He bowed deeply and said in a trembling voice, "Dear Lady, my fishing boat was completely destroyed in a storm during a voyage. Now I have lost my livelihood and my family is starving. I beg you to lend me a fishing boat so that I can go out to sea to fish again and support my family."

Daenerys nodded slightly and said, "Old man, I deeply sympathize with your situation. I will order someone to build you a new fishing boat as soon as possible so that you can support your family again. You can repay the territory for the new fishing boat in five years." Then, a haggard woman cried with tears streaming down her face, "Lady, my husband was injured while working for the lord. Now he is bedridden and unable to work. I am unable to afford the expenses of the family and the tuition of my children. I beg you to give us some relief to help us through this difficult time."

Daenerys looked at him with pity, and responded, "Poor woman, I will arrange for a doctor to treat your husband, and I will also send some supplies and money to help you through this difficult time."

Then, a young blacksmith came forward in a hurry. He looked anxious and said, "Madam, there have been frequent thieves in my West City District recently. They stole the farm tools that I worked hard to make in my shop and injured my buddies. I implore you to strengthen public security, catch these thieves, and take back my property."

Daenerys looked serious and said decisively: "Don't worry, I will send more soldiers to strengthen patrols and make sure to catch these thieves and bring them to justice, so that you and everyone can live a peaceful and harmonious life."

Just as the petition was about to end, a tall figure wearing a hood slowly stepped forward. He gently lifted the hood and it was Brienne of Tarth whom Daenerys had seen before.
Seeing the newcomer, Daenerys was surprised and said, "Miss Brienne, we meet again. I wonder why you came to the Stepstones this time?"

Brienne bowed respectfully and said sincerely, "Your Highness, I am here to ask for your forgiveness. I was deceived and misunderstood you before. Now that I think about it, I feel extremely ashamed and regretful for my ignorance and prejudice."

Daenerys smiled, her smile full of tolerance and generosity, and said slowly: "It's alright, Lady Brienne. I'm sure the news from Braavos has also reached you. You are also unaware of some things and have been deceived by the lies of the usurper. Since you have come to the Stepstones, I will naturally do my best to be a good host. You can stay here as a guest for the time being."

Brienne's eyes flashed with gratitude, and she quickly said, "Thank you for your warm reception, Your Highness. I'm sorry to bother you during this time."

Daenerys ordered the waiter to carefully arrange a comfortable place for Brienne. Maester Qyburn, who was standing by, looked at Brienne's back with a worried look on his face, and said to Daenerys: "My lady, you must be careful. The Tarth family has always been loyal to the usurper. I am worried that she may be disguised as a visitor this time, but in fact she is an assassin who came to kill you."

Daenerys' eyes were firm, like bright stars, and she said, "I have had contact with her before. I believe she is not an assassin sent by the usurper. Her character is far superior to that hypocritical usurper."

Maester Qyburn frowned and said, "That being said, Lord Gavin repeatedly told us to ensure your safety before he left. Please allow me to send someone to keep an eye on Brienne, and please do not leave the protection of the Blood Dragon Guard when you travel."

Daenerys frowned slightly, thinking for a moment, and then said: "Okay, then I will act according to your arrangements. I will be careful and pay attention. Thank you for your concern, Maester Qyburn."
