AWB Chapter 195 The Dreamer
Chapter 195 The Dreamer
As soon as Douglas landed on Viserys, Daenerys couldn't wait to step forward and complimented him:
"Thank you for your help before, otherwise my men would have been killed or injured!"
Daenerys' heartfelt thanks didn't mean much to Douglas, who had no idea what he had ever done to deserve the Dragon Queen's gratitude.
After all, when he is taming a dragon, he has no time to think about this and that.
Seeing Douglas's puzzled expression, Leon walked forward with a smile, patted Douglas' shoulder as he stepped down from the dragon's back, and explained:
"You may not have noticed just now, when Viserys lost control, a dragon flame almost hit Daenerys's guards. Fortunately, you punched Viserys in time to shut his mouth!"
"This is what I should do, Lord Commander-in-Chief!"
Douglas thought about it, then bowed respectfully to Leon, and then spoke slowly.
Seeing that Douglas was still so loyal to him after experiencing the sudden increase in power and immortality, and taming the dragon, Leon couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
Although I don’t know whether it is my personal charm that plays a greater role or the system panel that plays a greater role.
In short, Douglas's attitude of neither servility nor arrogance, and not being surprised by honor or disgrace, made Lyon very satisfied. He cast a meaningful look at Douglas, as if to say:
"Work hard, and I will definitely use you!"
However, Douglas did not get too excited about Lyon's praise.
He always remains calm and composed, standing firm like a mountain, and remains unmoved even in the face of great pressure.
At this moment, Daenerys witnessed all this, and a light suddenly flashed in her eyes.
She realized that the opportunity she had been looking for had finally arrived. So, Daenerys coughed lightly, then stepped forward and asked in an extremely solemn tone:
"As the only legitimate queen in Westeros, I urgently need a powerful white knight, the Kingsguard. I wonder if the honorable Sir Douglas Dragon Knight is willing to take on this important task and become my guardian knight?"
Her voice is clear and pleasant, with an irresistible majesty that makes people fall in love with her.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Douglas, waiting for his answer. For a moment, the whole scene became extremely tense...
Hearing this, Leon was stunned, thinking that the way Daenerys looked at Jon just now was not right, as if she was trying to poach him.
I didn't expect that she was so brave that she dared to swing a pickaxe in front of me?
But Douglas was extremely rude in response to Daenerys's question. Not only did he not say a word, he didn't even look at Daenerys with concern.
However, both the Night's Watch and Daenerys' Queen's Guards present were very nervous before they saw the statement made by Lyon, the commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch.
Some of Daenerys's guards had even silently drawn their swords, and some of the Night's Watch were doing the same.
Obviously, in their minds, Lyon's silence was a sign of an impending fallout. However, at this solemn and tense moment, Lyon suddenly laughed out loud: "Hahahaha! Douglas, didn't you hear the Queen asking you a question? Why don't you answer?"
Hearing Lyon's voice, Douglas subconsciously raised his head, and what came into his sight was Lyon's half-smiley face. In fact, Lyon just thought that Daenerys was a little delusional, so he laughed; but in the eyes of Douglas and others, things were not that simple.
Douglas shook his head seriously and said, "I am the commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch and the personal bodyguard of Lord Leon Victor. We brothers of the Night's Watch share life and death, joys and sorrows, happiness and difficulties together!" His tone was firm and unquestionable, as if declaring to everyone his loyalty to Leon and the Night's Watch team.
However, Daenerys did not give up after hearing Douglas's powerful declaration. She continued to tempt him:
"If you are willing, Knight Douglas Dragon, I am willing to grant you the title of Grand Duke of the Dragon Clan in accordance with the tradition of Westeros. Although this title cannot be inherited, the castle and fiefdom will be complete."
Daenerys walked lightly to the side of Lyon and Douglas. Her charming eyes first glanced at Lyon, then stopped at Douglas, and stared at him with an extremely gentle expression, with deep emotions in her eyes. She whispered:
"In the foreseeable future, your name will be recorded in history forever! If worldly fame means nothing to you, then we can even... become partners. In any case, I urgently need your help, and you will become an important cornerstone on the road to the revival of the Targaryen dynasty!"
The conditions offered by Daenerys were so generous that she even used herself as a bargaining chip. These words made the Queen's Guards standing behind Daenerys feel very uncomfortable. When many people saw Daenerys begging a man so humbly, they were filled with regret and self-blame.
They regretted why they had not been brave enough to tame the dragon. Even if they were eventually engulfed by dragon flames, it was better than seeing the queen, who was as noble as a god, lower her status to beg for help.
Many people can’t understand why Daenerys is like this?
Even Lyon and Douglas were shocked by Daenerys's actions. Lyon didn't expect Daenerys to give so much? He was moved by what he heard. Only Euron felt bad after hearing Daenerys's confession.
Because Daenerys had also said these words to him, but it was just in the form of an agreement... and Euron's action of wearing black clothes now clearly shows that he has given up the intention to fulfill the agreement.
However, the truth is that Daenerys is not an impulsive person. Just when Douglas tamed the dragon, she suddenly had a strange hallucination, as if the person in front of her overlapped with the mysterious figure she saw in her dream not long ago. That dream was full of prophecy, which made Daenerys full of expectations and anxiety about the future.
At first, Daenerys was convinced that Leon was the destined one, but after a brief conversation with him, her doubts did not dissipate. Although Leon was impressive, she did not detect the special aura that once made her heart palpitate. It was not until she saw Douglas reborn in the blazing dragon flame that she finally regained the long-lost sense of familiarity.
At this moment, Daenerys is determined to make Douglas surrender to her at all costs. What secrets are hidden behind this persistence? Perhaps only time can reveal the answer...
