Chapter 242 Selwyn Tarth’s Allegiance

Dragonstone.

Map Hall.

The atmosphere in the hall was solemn but full of expectation. Selwyn Tarth knelt on one knee, looked at Daenerys firmly, and was the first to speak: "My family and I are willing to kneel to you, Dany. Your Majesty Liss, I, Selwyn Tarth, Lord of Eveninghall and Tarth , with a sincere heart, I swear allegiance to you today, and I am willing to dedicate everything on Tas Island to you without reservation, to help you punish those treacherous usurpers, take back the Iron Throne that belongs to you, and let you. House Targaryen returns to its former glory."

Daenerys raised her hand slightly, with an elegant manner and a calm and gentle voice: "I accept your allegiance, Earl of Tarth. Your arrival is not only your trust in me, but also your recognition of the Targaryen family, which makes me Very pleased.”

Selwyn Tarth stood up slowly, looked at Daenerys with gratitude, and said, "Your Majesty, I would also like to thank you very much for your regard for your little girl Brienne. You have given her unprecedented opportunities and honors. Let our Tas family regain its glory. Your kindness will be remembered from generation to generation. "

A soft smile appeared on the corner of Daenerys's mouth, and she responded: "Knight Brienne has a brave and pure heart, and is the most knightly character I have ever seen. Everything she has gained is... She earned it through her own hard work, and she deserves it.”

After Selwyn Tarth bowed and saluted Daenerys, he turned to Gavin, with a sincere smile on his face, and said: "Salute to you, Your Majesty Gavin. I heard that you are about to marry the Tyrell family. As Queen, I would like to offer you my most sincere blessings. I believe that with the support of the Reach, we will be able to take over the Stormlands and King's Landing soon."

Gavin responded with a polite smile, nodded gently and said: "Thank you for your kindness, Earl of Tarth, and you are also welcome to attend my wedding with Margaery. After the wedding, my army will land in Stormland, and then go all the way to King's Landing."

The smile on Selwyn Tarth's face faded slightly, and his expression became serious. He faced Daenerys again, took a deep breath, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, I have to confess to you. In that Usurper's War, I made some illegal decisions Your family's actions are something I regret every time I think about them. I know full well that they were treason, and I just hope you can be magnanimous and forgive my foolish and helpless behavior back then." After saying that, he lowered his head again, as if. He is like a criminal waiting to be sentenced.

Daenerys was silent for a moment, then her eyes showed tolerance, and she said softly: "Earl of Tarth, the usurper is dead, and the war is over. Under the circumstances back then, if you followed your lord, I can I understand. What's more, I also know what kind of person my father is, and I am willing to forgive you, as long as you can be loyal to me in the future. "

Selwyn Tas was immediately relieved when he heard this. He raised his head suddenly, his eyes full of surprise and emotion, and said quickly: "Thank you for your kindness and generosity. The Tas family will do their best to be loyal to Your Majesty. Now. tower After Si Island has experienced several wars, it is still able to recruit more than a thousand soldiers. I am willing to lead them personally to fight for you, obey your orders, and follow your footsteps, even if I go through fire and water and charge into battle, I will not hesitate. "

Daenerys stood up slowly. Her tall figure looked even more majestic under the interplay of light and shadow. She walked up to the steps of the throne, came to Selwyn Tas, stretched out her hand to hold his arm, and said sincerely: "I thank you for your help, and I am convinced of your loyalty. Earl Tas has your support. The Iron Throne will return to the Targaryens."

Selwyn Tas's heart was full of excitement, and he bowed again and said with great respect: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for resigning first. I will send a message back to Tas Island now. I believe that soon the soldiers of the Tas family will Landing in the storm land, waiting for your orders. "

When Daenerys heard this, she looked at Gavin and nodded slightly.

Afterwards, Selwyn Tas turned around and left the hall.

Selwyn Tarth's figure gradually faded away, and finally disappeared at the end of the long aisle. Daenerys stood there quietly, following her eyes until the figure completely disappeared. Only then did she He breathed a sigh of relief and whispered to himself: "My calculation was correct. This is the seventh noble to come to pledge allegiance today, right?"

Gavin walked to Daenerys with steady steps, also looked at the direction Selwyn Tarth was leaving, and responded softly: "That's right, seven. Those in front are all kings. There are not many nobles who are powerful. The Streckworth and Chested families in the king's territory can barely handle it, and the only one left is the Earl of Tarth, and his loyalty is there. The degree will probably be higher.”

When Daenerys heard this, she couldn't help but think deeply. She frowned slightly and said, "Gavin, are you worried about their loyalty?"

Gavin slowly shook his head, with a slightly helpless smile on his face, and said: "People's hearts are unpredictable. How can there be absolute loyalty in this world? Didn't Robert swear an oath to your father back then? Are you loyal?" He patted Daenerys' hand gently and comforted her, "Don't worry, as long as our dragons are in the sky, their loyalty and oaths are absolutely trustworthy."

As she spoke, Missandei walked into the hall quickly with brisk steps. She first saluted Gavin and Daenerys respectfully, and then said: "Your Majesty, the Tyrell fleet has arrived. Dragonstone Island will be docking soon.”

Gavin's eyes instantly flashed with joy. When Daenerys saw this, she also smiled and said to Gavin: "Let's go and pick up Margaery together." Gavin nodded quickly, and the two of them turned towards Gavin together. Go outside the door.

As soon as he reached the door, he bumped into Bachelor Coburn.

He was holding a letter in his hand, and when he saw Gavin and Daenerys, they hurriedly quickened their pace. From their expressions, it was clear that they had something important to report.

Upon seeing this, Gavin said to Daenerys: "You go to the dock first, I will be here soon." After hearing this, Daenerys nodded and walked straight out with Missandei.

Gavin then looked at Cobain and asked, "What's wrong?"

Qyburn hurriedly handed the letter to Gavin and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, news came back from Volantis. Narciso and Dofas found the temple of the Thousand Faces Temple in Volantis. The soldiers will Then the whole temple was demolished, and Everything was burned down with fire. All the clergy, monks and believers have been captured, but I guess there are still some things that have slipped through the net. I am afraid that only your Majesty’s dragon can discover them.”

Gavin nodded slightly after hearing this and responded: "That's it, let them continue to hunt for those monks and believers who escaped."

Gavin had no intention of going to Volantis in person. He always felt that the Red God had evil intentions. Volantis exuded an uneasy atmosphere, and the Red Temple there was R'hllor's headquarters. , If you enter rashly, you may not know what will happen. Otherwise, he would have driven the dragon to destroy everything related to the Thousand Faced God.

Qyburn hesitated for a moment, then continued: "Your Majesty, Ren Bailathion sent a letter to congratulate you on marrying Margaery Tyrell."

When Gavin heard this, a look of confusion appeared on his face. Looking at Cobain's slightly strange expression, he asked, "You couldn't tell me that he planned to surrender, right?"

Qyburn quickly shook his head and said: "No, Your Majesty. Renly Baratheon seems to be unable to see the situation clearly. In the letter he sent, he still called himself the king. In the letter, he said."

Gavin waved his hand impatiently, interrupted Qyburn, and said: "Okay, you don't need to listen to the rest. Renly is nothing to worry about. Since he can't see the situation clearly, you don't need to pay attention to him. ”

After that, he casually thrust the letter into Qyburn's hand and walked quickly in the direction Daenerys left. Qyburn was left standing there, looking at Gavin's back, and turned around. Walking towards the hall, ready to deal with many follow-up matters.

At this time, the wind outside the hall blew gently, picking up a few fallen leaves on the ground and swirling them in the air.
