Before the Dragon Queen could say anything, Aegon stood up and said loudly, "I object!"
"Uh …"
Quentin was mentally prepared to be rejected, but she did not expect the 'fake cousin' to have the strongest reaction.
Yellow Hair Gareth asked, "Why? Do you intend to follow the old Targaryen tradition and marry an aunt? "
I would like to, but my aunt is too 'Saint Belle'!
Aegon sighed regretfully and explained, "Everyone knows that after the Blood Dragon Dance, the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms held a meeting and decided that the direct male line of succession has higher rights than the female line of succession.
I am Regar's eldest son, so theoretically, my right to the Iron Throne is higher than my aunt's, and she has also agreed to this.
Therefore, if this contract is to be continued, it should be me. I will replace Viserys and marry your sister, Princess Alaine. "
Sigh, so this nephew is not only good at attracting enemy damage, he is also good at resisting lightning and filling holes!
I did not eat her rice for nothing, nor did I live in her house for nothing.
I can continue to take care of this cheap relative!
Dragon Queen thought in relief.
Brother Iron Pillar looked at the Queen and asked in surprise, "Are you really willing to give the Iron Throne to this unknown person?"
"What unknown person? I am Aegon Targaryen, the son of Regar and Ilya! "Aegon said unhappily.
These Dornishmen are really stubborn, I have explained so many times, but they still refuse to admit that I am the True Dragon.
"I am not giving it to him, I have sworn …"
Danny told them about the Other Ghosts again, leaving the three Dornishmen dumbfounded.
Finally, she said, "My nephew is willing to fight the Other Ghosts with me, pass the Night of Eradication, and ascend the Iron Throne openly. Perhaps, there is no need for marriage or Dornishmen's support. "
"Yes, I do! Prince Daolang is my uncle, I need his support, "Aegon said hurriedly.
"Alright, he needs it," Danny said to Quentin with a wooden face.
Then, what should I do?
I did not marry the Queen, and now even Other Ghosts have appeared.
The honest-looking young man was at a loss.
When they first set out, there were not three of them, but a noble heir to an earldom, a seasoned knight, and a learned scholar.
Unfortunately, they encountered pirates in the land of strife, and the other three were all killed. Among them was the heir to the count, who was his adoptive father's eldest son.
From Volantis to Slaver's Bay, he was unlucky enough to catch the gray plague, and narrowly escaped death.
In order to see the Dragon Queen, in order to fulfill the contract, in order to not disappoint her father, Quentin had sacrificed too much.
If everything went according to his father's plan, he would be able to unite with the Queen, bring the dragons and the Unsullied back to the Westeros, and take back the Iron Throne. No matter how much he sacrificed, it would be worth it.
But now …
"Prince Quentin, why don't I arrange for someone to send you back to Dorne? The Divine Contract has nothing to do with me, so I can't fulfill the contract. Why don't you go back and ask your father what we should do next? "Dani suggested.
"I can't go back empty-handed."
The confusion on Quentin's face disappeared and was replaced by a stubborn look that was as firm as a rock.
Aegon's eyes were alert as he reminded him, "My aunt won't marry you."
Quentin said in a low voice, "Before I met Her Majesty, I was loyal to my father and did my best to carry out his mission. I only saw the marriage as a responsibility. The journey from Dorne to Slaver's Bay was a feat worth bragging about.
But it's different now. The cruel but real experience of killing the boys in the past has made me mature quickly.
Now, I understand what I need. Even if I can't marry Danny, Her Majesty Rize, I can still build up my achievements. "
At this point, Quentin knelt on one knee in front of Danny and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, I'm my father's eldest son, but not his first.
According to Dorne's tradition, my sister Ariane will become the new Princess.
Now, you've rejected me, and I've lost the responsibility of the marriage.
It can be said that I've fulfilled my responsibility to Dorne.
You've saved me, and I respect your ideals of freeing the slaves and ending the Long Night.
Whether it's out of gratitude or my admiration for you, I hope that you can keep me and let me serve you, a knight to a king. "
"Admiration?" Tyrion smiled playfully and said, "Kid, the Queen still has two vacancies for White Knights. Do you want to come?"
Without waiting for Quentin to answer, Danny immediately said, "Quentin, get up. I do lack people here. If you and your companions are willing, you can work at Slave's Bay for a while.
Although this place is thousands of miles away from Westeros, there are many Westeros here. You should be able to blend in quickly. I promise that I'll give you glory and the treatment that vassals deserve. "
If Quentin was willing to be a White Knight, Danny wouldn't mind giving him a spot.
One of the White Knights who died with Lega at Ruby Beach was from the Dornmartell Family!
But Prince Daolang's hope for Quentin was to be the Queen's husband.
If he knew that not only did she reject the marriage, but she also turned his son into a White Knight who didn't marry and had no land, then …
Danny didn't care what Daolang thought of her, but that was under the premise that she didn't have anything to do with him.
When Quentin really became her White Knight, they wouldn't have anything to do with each other before, but now they would.
As for taking Quentin as a vassal …
That wasn't a big problem.
Even in front of Prince Daolang, she could confidently say, "I have the right to take your son as a follower!"
And Quentin also had the right to be her vassal.
To be honest, she wanted as many youths like Quentin who had received elite knight education since young.
The more, the better. She was never satisfied.
Because Danny's most basic ambition was to conquer the continent of Ursos. In the future, she would take revenge on the many cities that had declared war on her in the Jade Sea.
She needed a follower to follow her everywhere and help her govern the place.
Aegon glanced at Quentin and said expectantly, "Actually, I also need a White Knight."
Quentin gave him a sideways glance and didn't say anything.
"Sigh, you should first …" Danny sighed and facepalmed.
Let's get Uncle Daolang to accept you as his nephew first!
Not everyone is as easy to talk to as I am.
Uh, the Dragon Queen wasn't easy to talk to.
Regardless of whether Aegon's identity was real or fake, she wouldn't be completely devoted to him.
She licked a pair of chopsticks on the table, tidied up a room in the pyramid, and sent him away.
In fact, Clinton, Duck Knight, and Ashala were all Aegon's men.
But they were all working for the Dragon Queen for free. Their wages were more than enough to offset Aegon's spending.
No, she still had money to earn.
But if he was really her nephew, Daolang would definitely be devoted to him. He would give him his daughter, soldiers, and money. He would work hard to ensure that he could ascend to the Iron Throne.
The cost of their preparations was different. Naturally, the degree of caution in their "investments" was different.
However, at this moment, Aegon definitely preferred the 'amiable' Aunt Dany, who kept calling him 'nephew', instead of his stubborn old cousin Duane, who did not allow him to call him 'cousin'.
This was really …
.....
With the war coming, the sea trade in Slaver's Bay stopped completely.
The Dragon Queen officially announced that Slaver's Bay had entered a state of war.
The food and beverage industry, hotels, and other service industries were all closed. Other than the skilled workers in the manufacturing industry, the residents of the city, regardless of age or gender, had to follow the household registration system. Their entire family would join the "Final Charge of the Great Leap Forward" project.
She didn't need these "non-agricultural residents" to plant wheat, rice, or other "high-tech" crops. They only needed to clear the weeds, plant sweet potato seedlings, and bury the sprouted potatoes.
According to the scholars' calculations, there were only ten days left until winter. Danny wasn't sure if the temperature would drop after winter.
She could only plan for the worst. She gambled on crops with high yields and low growth periods.
Other than the agricultural arrangements, Danny also officially sealed off Slaver's Bay and completely shut down sea trade.
Yes, there was a long and narrow island at the entrance of Slaver's Bay. Danny named it "Free Maiden Island". The island separated the sea from Slaver's Bay into two straits.
The eastern straits were narrow. Most ships heading to Meereen, Kaiyuan, and Astapor passed through the eastern straits.
This straits was also called the "Eastern Free Maiden Strait".
The western straits were wider and closer to Taurus and Alleria.
Previously, Danny only controlled the eastern Free Maiden Strait because the western straits were on average 200 kilometers wide and couldn't be completely sealed off.
Now it still couldn't be sealed off, but Danny began to repair the cities on both ends of Free Maiden Island.
During the time of Valleglia, Meereen, Astapor, and Kaiyuan to the east of Slaver's Bay belonged to Guise. Borash, Alleria, Tolos, and Free Maiden Island to the west of Slaver's Bay belonged to Valleglia.
There was a city on each end of Free Maiden Island, Guzayi and Venos.
Four hundred years ago, Valleglia exploded, sank into the sea, and a terrifying tsunami spread thousands of kilometers. The entire Free Maiden Island was submerged, and almost all the residents on the island died.
When the tide receded, Guzayi and Venos were also in ruins.
The people of Guise were luxurious and depraved. They didn't even think about occupying a strategic location like Free Maiden Island. The north controlled Slaver's Bay, and the south connected New Guise and the Summer Sea.
When Danny became the Queen of Slaver's Bay, she began to incorporate the small fishing villages on the island into the new Free Maiden Island. The Queen's authority was also officially manifested on the island.
However, in recent years, the Queen's national policy was to "greatly improve agricultural production". She didn't spend much energy developing Free Maiden Island.
When she began to move the First and Second Fleets to the southern end of the island, she barely managed to rebuild a small town with less than a thousand residents.
Free Maiden Island was more than 300 kilometers long. The small towns on the northern and southern ends were named "Southland" and "New York" by the Queen.
Uh, the Dragon Queen really planned to erect a statue of Free Maiden holding a torch at the entrance of Slaver's Bay.
In fact, she originally planned to establish a country with horse people, get a big green apple, and change Slaver's Bay's Astapor to London, Meereen to Paris, Kaiyuan to Washington …
London, Paris, Washington, Berlin, Moscow, Tokyo, Rome, Vienna, eight major cities under the rule of the big green apple.
Seems very exciting?
Alright, she later gave up on this idea. After all, she was the Queen of this country.
With the title of "Queen of the big green apple", while the Dragon Queen was disgusting to others, she was also disgusting to herself.
However, "New York" was still retained. The statue of Free Maiden was more harmonious with New York.
Southland was less than 300 kilometers away from Tolos. Therefore, it became the bridgehead for the Dragon Queen to attack the Alliance.
Yep, she didn't plan to permanently occupy Tolos.
The Dragon Queen wanted to learn from Peng Yue.
In the past, Peng Yue scratched the Chu. Today, Danny scratched the Alliance.
She wanted to scratch the Alliance until they couldn't care less about each other. In the end, she wanted to force them to reveal their trump card.
She felt that the little devil was right. The Alliance might have a dragon!
