Chapter 172: Winning over

After hearing this, Hassan asked doubtfully: "You don't want the Stepstone Islands Fleet to avenge Lord Stannis, do you? I personally respect Lord Stannis as a person and regret his death, but he With a surname of Baratheon, you should know that Her Majesty is a Targaryen princess, and Stannis is the usurper’s brother.”

Davos quickly shook his head and said: "No, it's not. Although I have thought about revenge for Lord Stannis, the current royal fleet has fallen into pieces and no longer exists. With my ability, I am afraid there is no hope of revenge. "Yes, I came to you hoping to meet Mrs. Celis and Miss Shireen."

After hearing this, Hassan nodded lightly and poured another glass of wine for Davos. Both he and Davos came from the bottom of society. They achieved success only by chance when they met the right master. Their situations were somewhat similar, and Davos's character and loyalty are also what Hassan appreciates the most. The same experience and mutual recognition also made the two become good friends.

After Stannis died, the nobles who were originally loyal to him and willing to avenge him only persisted for a while. After encountering some setbacks, they returned to their fiefdoms without even thinking about taking back his heir Shireen. Only Davos remained. He tried to take revenge in King's Landing, and although he failed, he always thought about Stannis's heir.

Hassan looked at Davos, thought for a moment and then said: "Davos, my old man, I'm afraid you don't know that Queen Daenerys is kind and kind. She did not harm Lord Stannis's family. Think about it. What happened after the usurper seized King's Landing was that even Miss Shireen, even though her surname was Baratheon, could not leave Dragonstone for the time being, but she was still well taken care of in the castle, but if any vassals went to seek refuge with her, , I don’t think this is a good thing for that little girl.”

Davos waved his hand and said: "Commander Hassan, thank you for your kind reminder. You misunderstood. I just want to see Miss Shireen and have no intention of being loyal according to tradition. She is still a child and should not be involved in this turmoil." ”

After hearing this, Hassan thought about it and said, "If that's the case, I think there's no problem. With the kindness of Your Majesty and the Queen, I don't think I'll stop you from meeting. You and I will return to Dragonstone Island in a few days. I'll do this. Talk to His Majesty."

"Then it's up to Commander Hassan. I'm deeply grateful for your help!" Davos's voice was trembling, showing the excitement in his heart. This was the first good news he had heard after many days of traveling.

Hassan smiled and waved his hands and said, "It doesn't matter, we are friends, I should help with these little things."

Then Hassan pointed at Davos's son and said, "You haven't introduced me to this wonderful young man yet."

Davos heard this and said hurriedly: "This is my son Mathos. He has just become the captain. I also have several sons who served in the previous royal fleet and have already become first officers. I can still control him now." All three warships depend on them."

Masos also immediately stood up and saluted: "Good day, Commander Hassan, although it is the first time we meet, my father often mentions you to me. The Stone Step Island Fleet under your command spans the Narrow Sea, and even the Free Trade City states are singing Your reputation."

Hassan laughed loudly after hearing this, his face turned red from laughing, and he was obviously very impressed by Mathos's words. He stood up and patted Mathos on the shoulder to encourage him: "Your father is exaggerating a bit. My current achievements are all due to the addition of gas." Your Majesty, those governors are afraid of the Dragon King of Ancient Valyria. You have become a captain at such a young age. I was a sailor when I was your age. Work hard young man, and you will definitely become a better captain in the future. Even Fleet Commander."

Mathos bowed again and said with a smile: "Thank you for your recognition. I will definitely live up to your expectations."

Hassan looked at Davos again and said: "Davos, your son is very good. Now that Lord Stannis has passed away, old man, I wonder what your plans are next? I am going back to Cape Wrath to look at your castle land. Or have other ideas?”

Davos couldn't help but feel a little confused after hearing this. Since being canonized as a knight by Stannis Baratheon, although he has obtained a castle and some land in Cape Wrath, he rarely lives in the territory. The castle is not so much It's a castle, rather a small stone building, and there is only one small village among the people and land.

Most of the time, Davos lived on Dragonstone Island. As the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together, people flock together." Davos was able to follow Stannis loyally. In addition to being canonized by him, Davos was also the reason why he was canonized by Stannis. Infected by Tannis's fair character, strictly speaking, the two are the same person, and Davos is even more kind and tolerant than Stannis.

As a person who once struggled to survive in Flea Bottom, Davos, who was born at the bottom, has always longed for the upper class to treat civilians more fairly, but those in power only care about their own enjoyment, ignore the civilians at the bottom, and even continue to squeeze them.

It wasn't until Davos met Stannis that he saw hope in him. Now that Stannis is dead, Davos's ideals have also been forced to end. With no hope of revenge, the only thing he worries about is Princess Shireen, that Davos A girl whom I regard as my own.

Seeing the silent Davos, Hassan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Davos, we have worked together before. I know your ability and character very well. If you are willing, I would like to recommend you to His Majesty Gavin. Now, in addition to ordering me to patrol the narrow sea, His Majesty is also responsible for maritime taxation and management. You know me. I am not a qualified manager. I am better at controlling the fleet for His Majesty to avoid chaos. If possible, I want you to help me, and it will be more convenient for you to take care of Lord Stannis's offspring in the future."

Davos was slightly startled when he heard this. He knew Gavin very well. The royal fleet had been preparing for a long time before and was planning to go to war with Gavin.

Although the other party was the noble Valyrian Dragon King, he never despised the lower class people. Even the slaves loved him very much. The various policies he formulated made the Stone Steps Islands leap into a force that overwhelmed the two continents. If you can follow such a wise leader to achieve some success, it is far better than guarding that castle and small village.

After thinking for a moment, he looked up at Hassan and said seriously: "I also know about His Majesty Gavin's deeds. I am honored to follow him." Hassan laughed and said, "That's settled. When we return to Dragonstone, I will personally recommend you to His Majesty. His Majesty always cherishes talents, and you will definitely be valued." He called the guards at the door and ordered: "Go and call the other captains and notify the kitchen to prepare a banquet. I want to welcome my old friend." The guards took the order and left. Hassan talked with Davos about their experiences after they separated.
