Chapter 145 The Tyrells' Proposal
Just when Margery's thoughts were wandering, a respectful waiter knocked on the door gently, bowed slightly and said: "Dear Miss Margery, Sir Gavin has just come back. He invites you to go to the courtyard to enjoy the scenery." flower."
Hearing this, Margery's face instantly burst into a happy smile. She quickly put down the poetry collection in her hand, stood up and carefully arranged her dress in front of the mirror, smoothing the already delicate hem, and gently combed her waterfall-like hair to ensure that every strand was in just the right place. The ground dropped to his shoulders.
After everything was sorted, Margaery couldn't hide her eagerness and hurried towards the courtyard with cheerful and light steps, like an elegant deer.
Margery hurried to the courtyard and saw Gavin standing tall and tall among the flowers. The sunlight shone on him, as if he had outlined a golden edge for him.
"Long time no see, Gavin." Margaery bowed slightly and saluted, unable to conceal the joy in her voice.
"Yes, Margaery, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are even more beautiful now. I'm sorry that I couldn't attend your adult name day." Gavin responded with a smile, his eyes full of tenderness.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and the flowers around them seemed to bloom more brilliantly in this warm atmosphere.
Margaery raised her head and stared at Gavin: "It's okay Gavin, you have more important things to do, I understand. I didn't expect that you would achieve such high achievements in just a few years after leaving Highgarden. This amazes me.”
Gavin shook his head slightly, showing his humility, and said slowly: "There is still some luck in this." After a short pause, Gavin went straight to the topic and asked: "I heard that Tilly Your family has something to discuss with me, but I don’t know what it is, so I bother you to make the trip in person.”
After hearing this, Margery did not answer immediately, but asked softly: "Gavin, how did you become the Dragon King?"
After Gavin heard this, he explained to Margaery the Bellerys family to which his mother belonged in detail, and then said: "It is for this reason that when you canonized me as a knight, I chose my mother's family. ’s surname.”
After hearing this, Margaery fell into deep thought, and after a moment she said seriously: "More than four hundred years ago, the Targaryen family came to Dragonstone in Westeros to escape the catastrophe of doom. More than a hundred years later, the last The Dragon King Targaryen successfully conquered Westeros. Now, as a member of House Belerys, you become the Dragon King again. In addition to dragons, you also have an army and fleet far larger than Aegon the Conqueror. , do you have any thoughts about Westeros?"
After hearing this, Gavin admitted without hesitation: "I do have an idea, but I don't plan to become king in Westeros. Daenerys will return to the Iron Throne, and I will marry her. I intend to Become king of the Stepstone Islands and conquer two continents."
Margaery smiled slightly and said: "Gavin, your statement is simply a trick to deceive a little girl. Daenerys now has nothing except the young dragon. Only the name of the Targaryen family can be used to appease Victoria. Nobles of Steros. If you want to conquer this place, you still rely on your army and dragons, and you will still be the one who rules Westeros in the end.”
Gavin nodded lightly and admitted frankly: "Yes, everything will be ruled by me in the end. Giving Daenerys the title is also a kind of compensation for her."
Margaery said solemnly: "I heard that a war broke out between you and Volantis, Myr and Tyrosh. Highgarden can give you support and send fleets and troops to join the war."
Margaery paused and then continued: "Robert Baratheon plans to attack the Stepstone Islands in the name of countering the rebellion. The royal fleet is currently being prepared. At that time, Highgarden will find a way to refuse to participate in the war and control the island including Thunder. In addition, all the armies of the Reach, including the Devin family fleet, can also provide you with intelligence and material support. Moreover, when your army sets foot in Westeros, Highgarden will officially provide you with support. Your allegiance."
Hearing Margaery's words, Gavin couldn't help but be a little surprised. It was obvious that the Tyrell family was betting this time. After thinking for a moment, he asked: "What does the Tyrell family expect to get from this?"
A blush appeared on Margaery's face and she said softly: "After you conquer Westeros, you will marry a woman from the Tyrell family as your queen. The Tyrell family can also accept you imitating Aegon the Conqueror! After a slight pause, she added: "At the same time, the Tyrell family will also be given the position of Prime Minister or two royal positions."
Gavin looked at Margaery whose face was flushed, gently held her hand, and then said gently: "If you are the queen, I will look forward to it with all my heart!" After saying that, he held Margaery in his arms. , Margery did not resist and even took the initiative to snuggle into his arms.
The two of them hugged each other in the courtyard, and the breeze blew gently, bringing a little bit of coolness.
The courtyard was beautiful and peaceful in the afternoon, with flowers blooming, trees shading, and sunlight shining dappledly. Gavin and Margaery walked side by side.
The two chatted about what happened to each other after not seeing each other for many years. Margaery laments the turmoil of family affairs, and Gavin also shares the ups and downs of his journey.
Unconsciously, the two of them talked about the tournament again, which was Gavin's first pot of gold.
Margaery said softly: "Gavin, when you won the championship in the tournament and gave me the wreath representing the Queen of Love and Beauty, I looked forward to marrying you."
Gavin was slightly startled, and then said: "At that time, you had a distinguished status, but I was far from you. I had such thoughts and did not dare to express them." Then he asked again: "By the way, Margaery! This How long do you plan to stay on the Stepstone Islands?”
After thinking for a while, Margaery said: "I'm afraid I won't be able to stay for long. This trip took much longer than expected. I thought the destination was the Stepped Stone Islands, but ended up in Reese. The return trip will take more than a month. Months of time, and I have to rush back to bring you the army to help.”
After hearing this, Gavin said with a smile on his face: "I forgot to tell you that I just wiped out all the Volantis fleet not long ago. Now there is no force in this sea area that can pose a threat to me. Those three cities Now I can only be in the position of being passively beaten. This war is actually over. I just need to wait for them to surrender. "
After hearing this, Margaery looked surprised and said, "Gavin, your fleet is even more powerful than I imagined."
Gavin suggested: "Why don't you stay for a few more months? Then I will take you back to Highgarden. If you ride a dragon, you can arrive there in less than three days."
Margery nodded happily and agreed: "That's great, I've never ridden a dragon before!"
