Game of Thrones: The Red Dragon Lord.

Chapter 151 Olena's Invitation

After a moment's contemplation, Lady Olenna asked Margaery, "You have spent some time with Daenerys Targaryen. What kind of person do you think she is? Does she have any power in the Stepstones?"

Margaery thought for a moment and replied, "Daenerys is just a little girl, a little naive even. In addition to controlling a dragon, she also has a sworn knight in the Stepstones, Brienne of Tarth. She does command an army of 5,000 men, but I heard that the army is made up of slaves and they are all new recruits."

Olenna frowned and asked, "Brienne of Tarth? If I remember correctly, she is the daughter of Lord Selwyn? She became a sworn knight? A female knight?"

Margaery nodded and explained, "She is indeed the daughter of Lord Selwyn Tarth. I was a little surprised when I first heard about her. She is the first female knight appointed by Daenerys as the heir to the Iron Throne. I heard that she saved Daenerys' life from the assassin."

After listening to Margaery's explanation, Olina frowned and said in a deep voice, "It seems that the situation in the Stepstones is different from what we originally expected. This girl from the Targaryen family is obviously not what we imagined. She has nothing but a dragon and a surname."

Lady Olenna took a sip of her tea and continued, "This must be an intentional arrangement by Gavin Bellerys. He takes good care of the Targaryen queen and handed the army to her sworn knights, which is equivalent to handing it over to Daenerys Targaryen, giving her a certain say in the Stepstones. But if you become his queen, I'm afraid you won't have as many advantages as we expected. I'm also worried that Gavin will give the Tyrell family what they deserve in the future. I don't know him, and there is no shortage of people who break their promises in this world."

After hearing her grandmother's words, Margaery couldn't help but recall her past with Gavin. She said calmly, "Don't worry. I am confident that I can properly handle the relationship with Daenerys and firmly hold Gavin's heart. I believe he will not break his promise."

Olenna smiled slightly, took her hand and said, "Of course I believe in you. You are the pearl of Highgarden that I trained. Besides, no matter what happens, you will always have the support of Highgarden behind you. It's a pity that you returned too early. In fact, we could have made up for it in advance."

After hearing this, Margaret asked curiously, "Grandma, what do you want me to do?"

Olanna said calmly, "You have already returned to Highgarden. It is a little late to talk about this now. You should have conceived Gawen's child before Daenerys."

Margaret frowned slightly, showing a hint of hesitation, "Gavin and I don't even have an engagement, wouldn't such a child be an illegitimate child? Gavin..."

Olenna interrupted Margaery and said, "Gavin Belleris is also a bastard. There is nothing wrong with being a bastard. The key is to be able to tame dragons. As you said, Gavin has so many young dragons. As long as your child can tame one of them, and the child has the support of Highgarden, no one will dare to say that he is a bastard."

Margaret bit her red lips, as if she had made a great decision, and confessed to Olenna that Gavin had sent her back.

Olenna was a little surprised after hearing this. She looked at Margaery and nodded with satisfaction. She said, "I didn't expect that you hold such a high position in his heart that he would personally send you back. Now that he is here, I want to meet the King of the Narrow Sea later."

After a pause, Olenna instructed, "Your father has gone to inspect the territory. Willas is the only one left in Highgarden. I will keep Gavin as a guest in Highgarden tonight. You must be good at using your charm and wisdom. For the honor of your family, for the future of Highgarden, and for yourself, you must do your best to accomplish this."

Margery nodded and replied, "Grandma, I understand. I will do my best."

Gavin sat in Margaery's room, which was filled with the sweet fragrance of a young girl's boudoir, but he had no idea that Olenna and Margaery were plotting how to steal his offspring. If he knew, he would probably have a hard time judging whether he was more angry or more amused. Not long after, the door was pushed open again. Margaery walked in with a smile as bright as a flower, and said to Gavin in a soft voice, "I told my grandmother, Gavin, she wants to see you."

Gavin stood up and responded calmly: "That's right, I also want to meet Lady Olenna." Then he followed Margaery and left.

Leaving the room, the two walked side by side through the long corridor. The light and shadows in the corridor were mottled and intertwined, as if the brushstrokes of time were quietly painting.

They soon came to a small courtyard. Under the pavilion in the courtyard, an old woman in a headscarf was sitting and drinking tea.

Seeing Olenna in the distance, Margaery stopped and said to Gavin, "My grandmother wants to talk to you alone. I'll be waiting at the door. Come to me when you're done."

"Okay, I'll go over first." After saying that, Gavin walked towards Lady Olenna.

Olenna was wearing a light green dress and a headscarf embroidered with delicate gold patterns. Time had carved fine lines on her face, but it did not diminish the sharpness and wisdom in her eyes.

Her eyes were like cold stars in a deep pool, deep and mysterious. Although her figure was slightly hunched, her innate noble temperament could not be ignored.

Olenna looked up and down at Gavin who was gradually approaching, and said calmly: "Good day, Your Majesty. Welcome to Highgarden again. Please forgive me for my inconvenience in walking and unable to stand up to greet you."

After hearing this, Gavin knew that the other party was trying to use age to pressure him, but the other party respectfully addressed him as His Majesty, which was considered to be a leeway. After all, High Court had not officially pledged allegiance to him at this moment. Gavin immediately responded politely: "Lady Olenna, there is no need to do this. I came uninvited to disturb your rest." Then Gavin looked around and exclaimed: "High Court is still so beautiful and intoxicating."

Olena smiled slightly, her eyes showing the wisdom of a person who has experienced many vicissitudes of life: "Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. These are just some old decorations. If Your Majesty likes them, you can come and visit us often."

Gavin shook his head slightly, found a seat and sat down, then said to Olenna, "You are too modest. Highgarden is known as the most beautiful castle in Westeros, and it deserves the title."

Olenna pushed the tea in front of her to Gavin and said, "Forgive me, an old lady, for only being able to serve tea to the King of the Narrow Sea. This is my way of thanking you for escorting my granddaughter back."

After hearing this, Gavin said, "You're welcome. I just happen to want to go back to the river bend to take a look."
