Game of Thrones: The Red Dragon Lord.

Chapter 165 Bad News

Gavin nodded slightly and said, "Sir Axel, Dragonstone originally belonged to the Targaryen family. The Baratheon family has occupied it for a long time, and now it is time to return it. As long as you open the castle gate and lay down your weapons, I can promise your safety."

Yasser was relieved to hear this and said, "Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty." Then he looked at Daenerys and said, "Queen Daenerys welcomes you back to Dragonstone. Lady Shireen is also in the castle. She should not have to bear the consequences of her family's hatred."

Daenerys looked at Axel and said, "You should address me as Your Majesty. Also, are you talking about Shireen Baratheon?"

Yasser's heart tightened, and he said, "Yes, Your Majesty, Miss Shilin is just a child, she should not be involved in this fight."

Daenerys was silent for a moment, then said, "I will not spread my hatred to the descendants of Baratheon, nor will I harm an innocent person. Ser Axel can rest assured that I will not harm Shireen, but she cannot leave the castle."

Axel felt relieved and nodded quickly, "Thank you for your tolerance. Dragonstone is at your service."

After the negotiations, Yaser hurried back to the castle, told Lady Celis the results of the negotiations, and ordered the soldiers to lay down their weapons and open the castle gates.

As the city gate slowly opened, the soldiers of the First Legion formed neat rows and entered the castle passage one by one.

The footsteps echoed off the stone floor of the castle, making a dull, rhythmic sound, announcing the beginning of a new reign.

After making sure that the castle was under complete control, Gavin and his party were about to enter the castle.

"Seal off Dragonstone tightly, seize any ships that come here, and send people to patrol the nearby waters to make sure no ships can send out messages. The fleet will rest and set off before dark, and make sure to arrive at King's Landing before dawn." Gavin ordered before leaving. His voice was steady and powerful, full of determination.

After hearing this, Hassan nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will arrange it right away." Hassan turned and left.

Then Gavin looked at Daenerys who could not wait any longer and a smile appeared on his face. The castle on Dragonstone was the earliest castle of the Targaryen family and it also had special meaning to Daenerys.

Gavin walked forward, took Daenerys' hand and walked towards the castle, smiling as he walked, "Come on! Take me to visit Dragonstone, the island of the Targaryen family." His tone was full of tenderness and expectation.

Daenerys hurried to catch up and said, "You are teasing me again. I have only heard Viserys tell me about this place. I heard that the dragon cave here is very large. We will go and see it later, but I want to see Selyse and her daughter Shireen first."

Gavin nodded slightly and said, "You can go and meet them later. After all, they have surrendered. Selyse is fine, but Shireen is a Baratheon after all, and she is a little girl. I will lead the team to King's Landing later, and Dragonstone will be handed over to you."

Daenerys nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of this place. You have to be careful in King's Landing."

Gavin gave her a reassuring look and said, "I'll be careful. If everything goes well, I'll be back in two days."

As they talked, they walked towards the castle.

Brienne walked into the castle in full armor, her armor gleaming in the sun.

It was a pity that the First Legion she commanded had never experienced combat, but during the landing and control of the castle just now, the team moved quickly and without panic. The First Legion had transformed from slaves into soldiers, and the training during this period was obviously very effective. Brienne was still very satisfied.

As she walked out of the castle passage, she met Assel who was waiting for her.

Axel saw Brienne and was surprised.

"Brienne? You are Brienne of Tarth, why are you here?" he asked in confusion. Yasser, who was meeting the other commander, was full of confusion. He thought the other commander would be the naval commander Hassan, but he didn't expect it to be the famous "beauty" of Tarth. Could it be that the House of Tarth had already taken sides? Earl Selwyn really dared to bet.

Brienne raised her chin slightly and answered solemnly: "I have long been loyal to Her Majesty Daenerys. Now that Her Majesty has returned, I will fight for her." Her voice was firm and powerful, full of loyalty.

Axel frowned slightly, as if thinking about something. "I didn't expect Earl Selwyn to make such a choice." He said softly.

After hearing this, Brienne realized that the other party had misunderstood her, and said, "It has nothing to do with my father. It is my personal choice. Her Majesty Daenerys knighted me. She is brave, wise, and kind. I believe my choice is right." Her eyes were full of admiration for Daenerys.

Yasser was silent for a moment. He had already experienced two dragons today, so he was not so unacceptable to the female knight. He said slowly: "Maybe you are right. The dragon appears again, and we can only go with the flow." There was a hint of helplessness and emotion in his tone.

Brienne nodded and said, "Sir Axel, please gather all the surrendered soldiers and take them out of the castle while I finish my inspection." After that, she turned and left to continue her mission.

Night fell on Dragonstone, and the inky darkness gradually swallowed up the last ray of afterglow.

The fleet has already marched towards King's Landing, leaving only a few warships on the beach of Dragonstone, standing quietly in the dim light.

The damaged warships were scattered all over the beach, and their hulls were covered with hideous cracks, as if telling of the brutal battle that had taken place today.

At this time, a raven flew from King's Landing, bringing news from King's Landing.

King Robert Baratheon died unexpectedly. Sea Lord Stannis Baratheon and Prime Minister Ned Stark attempted to usurp the Iron Throne and were convicted of treason.

Stannis was killed in the arrest, and Ned Stark was arrested and imprisoned. Now he ordered everyone on Dragonstone to go to King's Landing immediately and swear allegiance to Joffrey I.

Daenerys sat on the high seat with a solemn expression, her brows slightly furrowed, and her jade-like fingers clenched into fists.

The usurper is dead!
She had spent countless days and nights hoping that the other party would die and avenge her family.

However, now that the usurper was truly dead, she felt a sense of regret.

It was too easy for him to die so easily without a trial.

Below, Cerise and Shireen, who had just learned the news, burst into tears, and their sad cries echoed in the empty hall.

Celis burst into tears, covered her face with her hands, and her shoulders shook.

Xilin squatted on the ground, her small body curled up into a ball, her soft flaxen hair scattered on her shoulders in a messy manner.

The large, ugly gray-scale scar on half of her face and neck looked even more shocking in the light of her tears.

She kept sobbing, her eyes were red and swollen like two ripe peaches, which made people feel pity for her.
