Game of Thrones: The Red Dragon Lord.

Chapter 145 The Tyrells' Proposal
Just as Margery's thoughts were drifting, a respectful waiter knocked on the door and came in, bowed slightly and said, "Dear Miss Margery, Lord Gavin has just returned, and he invites you to the courtyard to enjoy the flowers."

Margaret's face instantly lit up with a delighted smile when she heard this. She quickly put down the poetry book in her hand, stood up, and carefully adjusted her dress in front of the mirror, smoothing the already delicate hem, and gently combing her cascading hair, making sure that every strand of hair fell on her shoulders just right.

After everything was ready, Margaret couldn't hide her eagerness, and she walked briskly and lightly towards the courtyard like an elegant deer.

Margery hurried to the courtyard and saw Gavin standing tall among the flowers. The sunlight shining on his body seemed to outline a layer of golden edge for him.

"Long time no see, Gavin." Margaret bowed slightly, her joy barely concealed in her voice.

"Yes, Margaret, it's been a long time since we last met. You are even more beautiful now. I'm sorry that I couldn't attend your adult naming day." Gavin responded with a smile, his eyes full of tenderness.

The two smiled at each other, and the flowers around them seemed to bloom more brilliantly in this warm atmosphere.

Margaery raised her head and looked at Gavin: "It's okay Gavin, you have more important things to do, I understand. I didn't expect that you have achieved such a high level of achievement in just a few years after leaving Highgarden. I am amazed."

Gavin shook his head slightly, showing his humility, and said slowly: "This is more or less a matter of luck." After a pause, Gavin went straight to the point and asked: "I heard that the Tyrell family wanted to discuss something with me. I don't know what it is that bothered you to come here in person."

Margaret did not answer immediately after hearing this, but asked softly: "Gavin, how did you become the Dragon King?"

After hearing this, Gavin explained in detail to Margaery the Belleris family to which his mother belonged, and then said, "It is for this reason that when you knighted me, I chose the surname of my mother's family."

After hearing this, Margaery fell into deep thought. After a moment, she said with a serious expression, "More than four hundred years ago, the Targaryen family came to Dragonstone Island in Westeros to escape the doomsday catastrophe. More than a hundred years later, the last dragon king family, the Targaryens, successfully conquered Westeros. Now, as a member of the Bellerys family, you have become the dragon king again. In addition to the dragons, you also have a much larger army and fleet than Aegon the Conqueror. Gavin, do you have any ideas about Westeros?"

After hearing this, Gavin openly admitted, "I do have an idea, but I don't plan to be king in Westeros. Daenerys will return to the Iron Throne, and I will marry her. I intend to be king of the Stepstones and then conquer the two continents."

Margaery smiled and said, "Gavin, what you said is just a trick to fool little girls. Daenerys has nothing now except the baby dragon. Only the name of the Targaryen family can be used to appease the nobles of Westeros. If you want to conquer here and there, you still have to rely on your army and dragons. In the end, you will still be the one who rules Westeros."

Gavin nodded slightly and admitted frankly, "Yes, everything will be ruled by me in the end. Giving Daenerys the title can be considered as a kind of compensation for her."

Margaery said solemnly, "I heard that a war broke out between you and Volantis, Myr, and Tyrosh. Highgarden can give you support and send fleets and troops to join the war."

Margaery paused and continued, "Robert Baratheon intends to attack the Stepstones in the name of suppressing rebellion, and the royal fleet is currently being prepared. At that time, Highgarden will find a way to refuse to participate in the war and control all the armies of the Reach, including the Redwyne family fleet. In addition, it can also provide you with intelligence and material support. And, when your army sets foot on Westeros, Highgarden will officially pledge allegiance to you." Hearing Margaery's words, Gavin couldn't help but be a little surprised. It was obvious that the Tyrell family was betting on this. He thought for a moment and asked, "What do the Tyrell family expect to get from this?"

Margaery blushed and whispered, "When you conquer Westeros, you must marry a Tyrell woman as your queen. The Tyrells will also accept you following the example of Aegon the Conqueror!" After a short pause, she added, "At the same time, you must grant the Tyrells the position of Prime Minister or two positions before the King."

Gavin looked at Margery, whose face was flushed, and gently took her hand. Then he said softly: "If you are the candidate for queen, I will be looking forward to it!" As he said that, he hugged Margery in his arms. Margery did not resist and even took the initiative to snuggle into his arms.

The two of them hugged each other in the courtyard, and the breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness.

The courtyard was beautiful and peaceful in the afternoon, with colorful flowers, shady trees and dappled sunlight. Gavin and Margery walked side by side in it.

The two chatted about what had happened to each of them in the years since they last met. Margery lamented the turmoil of family affairs, and Gavin shared his own journey and ups and downs.

Before they knew it, the two were talking about the martial arts tournament again. That was Gavin's first pot of gold.

Margaret said softly, "Gavin, when you won the championship in the tournament and gave me the wreath representing the Queen of Love and Beauty, I hoped to marry you."

Gavin was slightly startled, and then said: "You were of noble status at that time, and I was far from you. I dared not express such thoughts." Then he asked: "By the way, Margaret! How long do you plan to stay in the Stone Archipelago this time?"

Margaret thought for a moment and then said, "I'm afraid I can't stay for long. This trip took much longer than expected. I thought the destination was the Stepstone Islands, but I ended up in Lys. The return trip will take more than a month, and I have to hurry back to bring you troops to help."

After hearing this, Gavin smiled and said, "I forgot to tell you that I just annihilated the entire fleet of Volantis not long ago. Now there is no force in this sea area that can pose a threat to me. The three cities can only be in a passive position now. This war is actually over. I just need to wait for them to surrender."

After hearing this, Margaret said with a surprised look on her face: "Gavin, your fleet is even more powerful than I thought."

Gavin suggested, "Why don't you stay for a few more months? I'll take you back to Highgarden. If you ride a dragon, you can get there in less than three days."

Margaery nodded happily and agreed, "That's great, I've never ridden a dragon before!"
