Game of Thrones: The Red Dragon Lord.

Chapter 148: Wedding and Dragon Egg

On the vast beach, according to Daenerys's request, a wedding was solemnly held in accordance with the customs of ancient Valyria. According to tradition, only blood relatives can watch the ceremony here, except for the person who presided over the wedding. Since neither of them had any blood relatives, there were only three of them here.

With a solemn expression, Qyburn steadily held a bright red tray, on which was placed a carefully prepared obsidian dagger. He kept chanting ancient poems in the ancient and mysterious Valyrian language, and his voice floated in the sea breeze, as if it had traveled through a long time.

Gawain and Daenerys stood facing each other in elaborate red and white linen robes.

They first used the sharp obsidian dagger to gently cut their lips, and the bright red blood slowly seeped out. Then they gently smeared the warm blood on each other's forehead. This action meant that from then on, the two belonged to each other physically and mentally.

Then, they cut their palms decisively, and then held each other tightly, their blood dripping into the exquisite wine glass. Afterwards, they drank the wine mixed with each other's blood, which represented the compatibility and fusion of their blood.

After putting down the wine glass, Daenerys gazed at Gavin with deep affection, and her eyes seemed to contain thousands of words. Then, the two of them couldn't help but hug and kiss each other. At this moment, time seemed to stop, and it seemed that only they were left in the world.

Only after the two reluctantly parted did Maester Qyburn stop chanting. He bowed respectfully and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, it's time to go to the ceremony."

At the same time, in the square in front of the Governor's Mansion, a towering wooden platform stood, as if telling of the upcoming ceremony. People flocked to the stage like a tide, looking forward to the rare ceremony of becoming king. Their eyes were full of excitement and anticipation, and they talked about the three-day banquet that was about to begin.

The retainers and officers of the Belleris family were solemn and dignified, while the envoys had different thoughts. They stood on both sides of the platform and watched the ceremony quietly.

A loud dragon roar broke through the sky, and Chiying's huge body whizzed past the crowd like a golden thundercloud, causing the crowd to exclaim. Seeing this, the soldiers holding the horns immediately puffed up their cheeks and blew the horns in their hands, and the majestic sound of the horns echoed over the square.

A team of well-armored soldiers marched in unison, quickly passing through the crowded crowd, using their solid bodies to carve out a path through the crowd. The onlookers quickly made way for them with awe and awareness.

Gavin and Daenerys, dressed in their clothes, slowly walked from the road to the platform.

When they stepped onto the platform and faced the crowd, the huge body of Blazing Shadow also landed lightly and guarded behind them. The sunlight shone on its scales, shining brightly.

Brienne, wearing armor, presented a crown made of dragon bones and gems with both hands. Daenerys took it and announced to the audience in a high and passionate voice: "I am Daenerys Targaryen Stormborn, Breaker of Chains, Mother of Dragons, the Unburnt, Queen of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men, Ruler of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm! Today I am here to witness with you the birth of a king." After that, she held up the crown high, as if holding up the hope of the whole world.

Daenerys turned around and placed the crown on Gavin's head, then shouted to the crowd:
"I declare Gawain Bellerys, dragonlord of old Valyria, King of the Narrow Sea, Lord of the Stepstones, and Lord of Lys."

The crowd was instantly excited, and cheers rose and fell like surging waves. "Long live His Majesty Gavin!"

"Hiss!" Chiying also responded to the enthusiasm of the crowd, spraying hot dragon flames towards the sky, as if offering the most splendid tribute to the birth of the new king.

After the ceremony, a grand celebration kicked off. On the neatly arranged long tables around the square, all kinds of food were piled up like mountains, and the dazzling array of delicacies was dazzling.

People helped themselves with great delight, while well-trained servants shuttled around, replenishing the dwindling supply with a steady stream of freshly-baked food.

A lively banquet was also held in the main hall of the Governor's Mansion.

Gavin and Daenerys sat side by side on the high seat, like two bright stars, emitting eye-catching light.

The governor, officials, captains and officers of the Stepstone Islands came forward one by one, knelt down respectfully and swore allegiance, and then accepted the reward with joy.

Gavin also took the opportunity to appoint three ministers to the Royal Council. As Hassan, who had followed him the earliest, Gavin appointed him as the Minister of the Navy and the Commander of the Fleet. The shrewd Coburn was appointed as the Grand Secretary and the Chief of Intelligence. Boris, who had always been steady, was entrusted with the important task of the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

In fact, the positions of the three are not much different from their previous jobs. They are just to ensure that when neither himself nor Daenerys are in the Stepstones, the three-person Royal Council can effectively manage the kingdom through voting.

In the short term, Gavin will hold power tightly in his hands, so there is no position such as Hand of the King.

After the reward was completed, Gavin received the envoys of the four city-states. After the envoys of Volantis, Myr and Tyrosh came forward to offer their blessings and gifts, Gavin met the Governor of Pentos again - Illyrio Mopatis.

Illyrio walked forward with steady steps, bowed deeply to Gavin and Daenerys, and congratulated them: "Your Majesty Gavin, I sincerely congratulate you on becoming the King of the Narrow Sea, and also congratulate you on your marriage to Her Majesty Daenerys. May your two majesties rule long and strong." After that, he gently waved to the attendants beside him, and an exquisitely made box was lifted up. Illyrio opened the lid of the box himself, and saw three exquisite dragon eggs neatly placed in the box.

The dragon egg exudes a mysterious luster and has a delicate texture, as if it contains endless power.

Illyrio smiled and slowly introduced: "These three dragon egg fossils come from the Shadow Land east of Asshai. They have been fossilized for tens of millions of years, but they are still bright and beautiful."

Gavin looked at Illyrio, who was full of lies, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. It was obviously the dragon egg given to him by Varys, but he insisted on saying it came from the Shadow Land. It seemed that he had become part of the other party's plan. Unfortunately, they didn't know that Gavin and Daenerys had already seen through their plan. After Gavin and Daenerys looked at each other, they smiled and said, "Thank you for your gift, Governor Illyrio. I hope you have a good time here."

Illyrio bowed respectfully and then slowly stepped back. Then, countless merchants and civilians began to present gifts, and the celebration became more and more lively.

People indulge in the joyful atmosphere until night falls quietly and bright stars twinkle in the night sky.

As the clock of the banquet quietly pointed to the late night, Gavin took advantage of Daenerys's concentration on the dragon egg and found an excuse to leave. He walked through the long and quiet corridor and came to the courtyard alone. As expected, he saw Margaery sitting on the bench with a sullen face.

"I'm sorry, I really couldn't take care of you today."

Margaret, who was immersed in her own thoughts, suddenly heard a familiar voice behind her and immediately turned around. After seeing Gavin, she slowly said, "Gavin, you should be at the party."

Gavin said softly, "I was a little worried, so I came to take a look."

Margaery responded immediately: "It's okay, Gavin. I was mentally prepared before coming here. Besides, as the Tyrell family is still Robert's vassal, I can't appear openly in such an occasion."

After hearing this, Gavin did not answer immediately, but reached out and pulled Margaret up, hugged her tightly in his arms, and comforted her affectionately: "I promise you that I will hold a grand wedding for you in the future."

Margaery snuggled in Gavin's warm embrace and murmured, "I believe in you Gavin, but I am still a little unhappy that I was unable to formally participate in the ceremony. I only look forward to becoming your queen."

Gavin kissed Margaret's forehead and said softly, "Don't worry, that day will come."

After hearing this, Margaery raised her head, looked at Gavin and said, "I have stayed here for too long. I will return to Highgarden in a few days."

Gavin looked at the beauty in his arms and said with a smile, "I'm here. After the celebration is over in two days, I'll take you back. It just so happens that I haven't been back to the River Bend for a long time."

After saying that, under the watery moonlight, the two kissed passionately.

Gavin left the courtyard and returned to the banquet quietly.

As soon as he sat down, Daenerys leaned over like a little bird and asked softly, "Are you done?"

Hearing this, Gavin smiled awkwardly and said, "I was a little worried, so I went to see it, but it's nothing serious."

After hearing this, Daenerys said calmly, "That's good. I feel a little tired Gavin. Let's go back."

Gavin nodded, made some arrangements to the waiter, then took Daenerys' hand and left the banquet.

After returning to the room, the Blood Dragon Guard brought in the box containing the dragon eggs and then left. Seeing the box, Gavin remembered that he had not had time to check it because of Margaret. He immediately walked forward and opened the box.

Seeing this, Daenerys asked behind her: "Can they hatch?"

"Let me take a look first." As he said that, Gavin picked up the dragon egg that would hatch Drogon in the future.

As soon as he got it, Gavin keenly felt something was wrong. There was no magic in this dragon egg, just like a real fossil. Then, he picked up the other two dragon eggs and found that the situation was exactly the same.

Looking at the three dragon eggs, Gavin couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be that because of his appearance, the three dragon eggs were not obtained by Illyrio? But the Three-Eyed Raven didn't need to deceive himself, and the three brothers of Drogon in the original play were indeed very different from other dragons. It only took six years for them to grow to more than 30 meters, while Viserion was hatched for more than half a year, but was less than two meters. Compared with the young dragons in the dragon cave, there was obviously something abnormal. As for Blazing Shadow, due to the advanced panel, it cannot be compared.

Looking at Gavin with a frown on his face, Daenerys walked up to him, snuggled into his arms, and asked softly, "How is it? Is there any problem?"

Gavin shook his head, shook off his complicated thoughts, and said to Daenerys in a comforting tone, "I'm not sure. I'll know after I go to the dragon pit and try it out in a few days."

After saying that, Gavin looked at Daenerys affectionately, and Daenerys' cheeks blushed at his burning gaze.

Seeing this, Gavin immediately picked up Daenerys and strode towards the bed.
