Ballet was a smart and pragmatic old widow.
Well, at least smarter than Caitlin.
In her opinion, Stannis was in a good situation now, and the best choice was to guard the Blood Gate, the only land passage into the valley, and subdue the rich and powerful vassals of the valley. Then, he could sit on the fishing platform and watch the world change.
Even if he considered the big picture and thought that the Other Ghosts were a threat to all humans, he didn't need to let his "competitor" Dragon Queen watch from the sidelines while he challenged the King of the Other Ghosts alone.
So, Ballet raised her doubts in front of everyone.
"Why is Stannis willing to be the first to take the risk?"
"That's strange!" Danny's expression was strange.
"Why is it strange?" Ballet asked curiously.
— Actually, Danny could understand Ballet's doubts.
Erlu appeared at the Great Wall first, carried the Night Watchers' Wildfire Bombs along the Great Wall to find the King of the Other Ghosts, actively tried to end the Long Night and even captured him, and actively sought her help to fight the King of the Other Ghosts … She was also puzzled by Erlu's behavior at the Great Wall.
Like Ballet, Danny felt that Erlu shouldn't be so selfless and selfless, based on his desire for the Iron Throne and his actions that crossed the line.
As for stealing the kill, taking down the King of the Other Ghosts first and fulfilling his promise with the Dragon Queen to "end the Long Night as the King" … If he really thought that, he was too stupid and reckless.
No one had seen the King of the Other Ghosts before, and no one understood it. Know the enemy and know yourself, and you will never be defeated. He had been fighting for a lifetime, how could he not understand?
But no matter what Erlu thought, Danny didn't care. As long as he took Aunt May, and preferably the King of Light, to defeat the King of the Other Ghosts, it would be fine.
If he succeeded, she would save some energy and return home. The music would continue, the dance would continue, and the Westeros would be left to him. If he failed, the combination of War God, Mage God, and God King would be able to force the King of Strange Ghosts to reveal some of his trump cards … At the very least, if the Child of Prophecy couldn't complete the prophecy, the King of Light would suffer heavy losses, both in terms of reputation and strength.
Therefore, she couldn't let him back out. She had to keep her promise.
Well, Erlu was now playing the vanishing game. Danny was a little flustered. She had to encourage him to build momentum and public opinion.
"Slaver's Bay is thousands of kilometers away from the Westeros. Why didn't I just sit back and enjoy the scenery? Why did I ride my dragon here the moment the Great Wall collapsed?" Dragon Queen asked.
"Uh …" Babalei was stunned. She was speechless.
Alright, in her subconscious mind that she didn't even know about, a voice replied, "The Westeros are the center of the world. Even if you became the first empress in the Ursos Continent, you still had to rush back to win the support of the people of the Seven Kingdoms."
She had this subconscious mind, but her rationality didn't allow her to really think that way. Therefore, she felt a little ashamed.
"The long night is not the long night of the Northerners, nor is it the long night of the Westeros. The entire world will be plunged into darkness.
At such a time, any king who upholds justice and honor should step forward, abandon their previous filth, and unite to fight against the common enemy of mankind, the Strange Ghosts! "
Dragon Queen's words were stern and righteous. Everyone was filled with respect for her.
Because she was the king who upholds justice and honor.
Because, when she could have just sat back and enjoyed the scenery at Slaver's Bay, the first thing she did was to come to the frontlines to fight against the Strange Ghosts.
Ballet felt even more ashamed.
"I believe that no matter how many mistakes Stannis has made, this time, he will keep his promise and bravely take on the responsibility that belongs to him, the Child of Prophecy.
I believe that he will use his actions to prove to me, and to everyone else, that he still has the desire to pursue justice and honor in his heart. "
"At the same time, I ask everyone, I ask you to trust him … No, not only you, we want the entire Winterfell, the entire Northern Territory, and the entire Westeros to know of Stannis's great feat."
At this point, Dragon Queen raised her right hand. "I swear, I will abide by the promise of 'the one who ends the long night will be the king'. As long as Stannis can kill the Strange Ghost King, I will immediately withdraw from the Westeros and honor him as the king of the Seven Kingdoms!"
At this moment, everyone seemed to see a holy light shining on Dragon Queen's face.
Ballet, who had seen through the world, was also touched.
"Long live the Queen, long live the War God, long live Queen Danny Rize, long live King Stannis!"
"Long live the War God, Archmage, Divine King!"
Before long, the entire Winterfell garrison knew that the Light King was about to fulfill his prophecy. Stannis, the Child of Prophecy, would join forces with Melisandre to challenge the Strange Ghost King at Winterfell.
The War God, Archmage, and Divine King, the combination of the three gods was so powerful that even the Dragon Queen was impressed.
They saw the hope of victory and they shouted loudly.
The King of the Northern Territory even called for the scholars in front of all the dukes at the banquet and ordered the spread of messenger crows to let all the castles in the Northern Territory know of the impending 'Decisive Battle at Winterfell'. He called on them to support Winterfell, the War God's decisive battle, and this battle that would determine the name of the Humans.
"Your Majesty, why don't you use your name to send a letter to the Seven Dukes and King's Landing, calling on them to support Winterfell and help King Stannis complete the most sacred and great battle?"
Jon was still unsatisfied and turned his gaze to the Dragon Queen.
Regardless of the motives of the Dragon Queen and Stannis, the 'Three Gods Decisive Battle at Winterfell' was the most beneficial to Stark, Winterfell, and the precarious Northern Territory. The King of the Northern Territory had to do his best to facilitate this' Winterfell Heroes' Assembly '.
"Let's use your name. My name will come second. After all, you are the Lord of Winterfell. I can't steal the limelight," Danny said humbly.
.....
When the sumptuous banquet was about to end, Danny suddenly realized something: Sansa was not at the table.
In such a banquet to welcome the Queen, not to mention the daughter of the House of Stark, even "Snow" would get a seat at the end of the banquet.
At the beginning of the plot of "Game of Thrones", Robert brought Cersei from King's Landing to Winterfell. The King and Queen, Stark and his wife sat at the head of the table. At the next table sat Robb, Bran, Sansa, Arya, Rickon and Joffrey, Myrcella, and Tommen.
At the end of the banquet near the entrance, Jon was able to sit at the same table as a singer like Mance Rayder.
Well, Mance Rayder had climbed over the Wall and disguised himself as a bard to attend the banquet. He even sat at the same table as Jon, but he was too preoccupied with self-pity to notice Jon.
For tonight's banquet, the huge Winterfell Main Hall was filled with tables and chairs, filled with counts, knights, and knights.
Even the squires were allowed in.
Danny sat in Robert's seat, and Eide sat in his old seat. Even little Rickon sat with the counts. Sansa, however, did not show up for the entire banquet.
"Where is Sansa?"
Danny sat next to Eide's seat and had a table to herself, so when she spoke in a low voice, the knights below could not hear her.
"Sansa …" Eide paused, then stammered awkwardly, "She's not feeling well."
Not feeling well?
Danny was shocked. Did she abort her nephew's unborn child?
"Aegon's child is about five months old, right?" she asked tentatively.
Eide's expression changed. He glanced cautiously at the Dragon Queen and asked in a low voice, "What do you mean?"
"That's strange. What can I mean?" Danny glared at him. "Is the child healthy?"
"Your Majesty, that is only a child." Eide put down his horn cup and said in a low voice, "I will not allow any harm to come to my sister and nephew."
Danny pointed at her own nose. "Are you talking about me?"
Seeing that the Dragon Queen did not look like she was going to eradicate them, Eide heaved a sigh of relief and said cautiously, "I thought you wanted to … Don't you hate Aegon and Illyrio?"
Now, Danny understood what Eide meant.
In the end, it was because of a lack of communication. After Aegon's identity was exposed, the Dragon Queen wanted to maintain the dignity of a victim. She acted coldly on Dragonstone Island and did not participate in the subsequent events. This made Erlu, Jon, Sansa, and even Aegon himself think that the Dragon Queen was very angry and even hated him.
That was why Sansa did not contact Dragonstone Island after that.
That was why Erlu had no qualms about burning Aegon. Only when the Heavens descended did he realize that he had made a mistake.
That was why when Danny came to Winterfell, the pregnant Sansa was terrified. She was afraid that the Dragon Queen would want her child to pay for her father's debt and avoided meeting her.
That was why when Danny took the initiative to ask about his niece-in-law, Jon was extremely vigilant, causing the Dragon Queen to think that Sansa was ruthless and had aborted the child.
Uh, Jon and Sansa misunderstood that the Dragon Queen's love for Aegon had turned into hatred. The Dragon Queen also misunderstood that Sansa had abandoned the fake Crown Prince because her eldest nephew had been burned to death.
"I will convene a meeting. In the meeting, Illyrio and Varys will receive a fair and open trial. As for Aegon …"
Danny sighed, her expression complicated. "He is a good child and also an innocent and pitiful person. I was busy with the war in Meereen and didn't expect Stannis to be so ruthless. Sigh! "
"We also didn't expect Stannis to burn him to death …" Jon's expression softened as he shook his head with a bitter smile. "We didn't give up on Aegon. No matter how his identity changed, one thing would never change. He is Sansa's husband.
However, Sansa couldn't accept the change in his identity and flew to Moon Gate Castle to relax. She also planned to wait for him there. We thought that Stannis would quickly take over Moon Gate Castle.
After that, there was an accident. Sansa and I were injured. We rested for two days and then … "
"Injured?"
Jon looked down and lied. "The backlash from a failed magic experiment."
Danny glanced at him calmly.
Jon smiled with relief. "Luckily, Aegon was devoutly serving the Seven Gods and was protected by the Holy Mother. He escaped the tragic fate of being sacrificed."
"Hehehe …" Danny smiled meaningfully.
.....
"Sansa, we thought too much. Danny Rize is indeed a benevolent queen. She will give Illyrio and Varys a fair trial, but declare Aegon innocent. You and the child are safe. She even allowed the child to use the surname 'Targaryen'. "
After the banquet, he excitedly went to find his sister and told her the great news.
