Pentos.

Port, Dick came to send Gryn.

Last night, with the cooperation of Magister Illyrio, the soldiers of Gryn made quite a stir in Pentos.

Gryn reached out and patted Dick's arm, and said warmly, "Dick, I leave the matters here to you."

Dick slightly tapped his chin. "Sir Gryn, I will never let Crabb be shamed."

After saying that, Dick glanced around and lowered his voice. "I feel that there are many eyes staring at us in the dark."

Dick behaved like a thief who had just grown up in the countryside.

Gryn smiled slightly, "Dick, no matter where you go, remember to bring adequate security."

Gryn's words made Dick stunned. Is the lord worried about my safety?

Dick was moved in his heart, with excitement on his face, and said loudly, "Sir Gryn, I will definitely not let you down."

Gryn nodded slightly and said, "Remember the clan language, Together We Stand."

"I will remember it!"

Gryn patted Dick again, then turned around and stepped onto Mermaid.

After the sailors were busy for a while amid Rick·Snow's loud roars, Mermaid slowly left the Pentos port.

Gryn stood on the deck at the stern of the ship, quietly staring at the governor's mansion.

Mutton·Waters was wearing a coarse robe, with a war hammer on his waist, guarding the side.

Gryn turned his head, glanced at Mutton, and said, "What's wrong?"

The fat on Mutton's body visibly trembled.

Mutton has beast-like intuition, and it was this intuition that led him to find "Beast King" Gryn.

Although Gryn hardly participated in the actual battle, Mutton could sense the terror of Gryn.

Mutton knows very well that as long as Gryn is willing, he can chop down all his enemies like cheese at any time, including himself.

Gryn has always been gentle, and he is even more friendly towards his own people. Mutton feels this most deeply due to his innate talent.

Under normal circumstances, Mutton would not be startled by Gryn's plain question.

The reason is that he has a guilty conscience.

Mutton scratched his big head and said naively, "I... Pentos's barbecue has a unique flavor. I'm still wondering when Anguy will come back."

Gryn:"..."

Night falls, Illyrio mansion.

After being in contact with Gryn for nearly a month, Daenerys felt that he had suddenly grown up.

Although the time was short, she also saw clearly many things that she could not understand.

Or, Daenerys is a born king, he just needs a proper opportunity.

Daenerys was sitting on the chair, looking at Illyrio walking slowly towards him, with a half-smile on his face.

Illyrio noticed that today's Daenerys seemed different from usual.

Illyrio On the surface, he is calm, but underneath he is cautious Vigilance.

After approaching, Illyrio took the initiative to salute. "Good night, Your Highness, Princess."

Daenerys nodded slightly and said, "Magister Illyrio, Lord Gryn have left? Please sit down."

Illyrio nodded in thanks. "Princess Daenerys, please rest assured that today is a very suitable weather for sailing."

At this time, Daenerys's new maids, Borona and Osana, brought wine glasses and jugs.

Borona and Osana were originally Centurion from the Thorn Legion. Although they have changed their new identities now, they seem to be adapting well.

After the two of them placed the wine glasses for Daenerys and Illyrio respectively, they picked up the jug and filled it with wine.

"This is Summer Wine given to me by Lord Gryn. It is said that Dorne comes from Westeros. It tastes sweet and I fell in love with it at the first bite."

After finishing speaking, Daenerys took a sip of Summer Wine and said, "Magister Illyrio, you must have tasted it long ago... but I have been wandering around with Viserys since I was a child. This is my first time."

Illyrio smiled humbly and said respectfully, "Summer Wine is made from honey plums, cherries and black oak, which makes it emit the aroma of fruits. After tasting it, everyone can't help but admire its beauty.

Summer Wine is extremely popular in Westeros. Whether it is Beyond the Wall in the far north, Dorne in the south, or King's Landing, it is the most popular drink at noble banquets."

Daenerys listened with a smile, and after Illyrio finished speaking, he praised, "You are indeed very knowledgeable."

Illyrio nodded and said, "When King Viserys takes back Iron Throne, the entire Westeros will return to Targaryen, and every item there will be available for you to enjoy."

Daenerys raised the corners of his lips and said, "Where is my brother?"

"During this period, King Viserys was busy raising warships to cross Narrow Sea. Although the king is diligent, he misses the princess very much. He has just returned here. As long as he waits for a while, the princess can see his majesty."

What a coincidence...Daenerys smiled slightly, "I have to say this is good news."

Illyrio's eyes moved slightly and said, "It seems that Her Royal Highness the Princess has good news to share with the King. Your Majesty will be very happy."

Daenerys did not deny it and said, "Magister Illyrio, ten thousand troops are not enough to recapture Iron Throne."

Illyrio's smile froze for a moment, "When King Viserys's soldiers and horses set foot on Westeros, then the princes and noble families will surely mobilize to help and follow their true king. The people will roar with justice, fight for the true king, and sweep across the entire territory of Seven Kingdoms."

Daenerys listened with a smile and shook his head, "Ten thousand soldiers and horses are still not enough. How many soldiers and horses does the barbarian husband you choose for me have in total?"

Daenerys did not wait for Illyrio's answer, and continued, "His name is Drogo? He leads Dothraki Sea's largest Khalasar tribe. It is said that he has more than 40,000 roaring the Warrior."

Illyrio's eyes trembled, and he said calmly and respectfully, "That is exactly what it is. That Westeros Earl has found out a lot of information for you. I have just contacted Khal Drogo. I will meet him in person in a while to discuss the marriage of Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Daenerys has changed, becoming a bit strange to him.

Illyrio suddenly felt that he and Varys should not facilitate the meeting of Daenerys and Gryn.

"I am afraid every day, afraid of awakening my brother's Wake the Dragon, and afraid of being abandoned by my brother. During this period, I lived a very peaceful life, and learned a lot of things through Lord Gryn. I kept thinking, you are the governor of Pentos, how could you not think that 10,000 troops are not enough to recapture Iron Throne? Until Lord Gryn said goodbye to me..."

Daenerys sighed softly and continued, "Looking at his leaving figure, I suddenly understood everything... separation will be painful, what if it is death?"

Daenerys raised his glass and took a sip Summer Wine: "Will the barbarian leader fall in love with my silver-haired wife? Maybe, it doesn't matter.

At the right time, the most important thing is for me to be killed by the so-called Snatcher. I think it is best to let the barbarian leaders see death in front of them, so that it will be easier for them to become angry and ignite their fire of revenge."

Illyrio's heart skipped a beat.

Daenerys actually guessed his plan, how did she do it?

Is this the bloodline of True Dragon? Illyrio suddenly felt a hint of danger.

Daenerys's smile was bright, and he turned to Osana on the side and said in a calm tone, "Pour me some wine."

After giving the instructions, Daenerys said to Illyrio, "Mr. Governor, I have always been grateful to you for taking in my brother and me, but..."

Daenerys held the cup filled with wine. "I am the daughter of Aerys II, the sister of Viserys III, the princess Dragonstone, Stormborn, Daenerys!"

As he said that, Daenerys suddenly poured the Summer Wine in the cup towards Illyrio's face.

Although Daenerys's changes today surprised him, and he began to be wary of this anomaly, but he never thought that Daenerys, who had always been cowardly, would throw wine at him.

Illyrio worked as an assassin when he was young, but he has been enjoying himself for nearly twenty years, and the distance was so close, so he was slapped hard in the face.

Borona and Osana exclaimed and picked up the towels and handed them over.

Illyrio wiped the drink from his face, his chest heaved and he breathed heavily.

Staring at Daenerys as if nothing had happened, Illyrio casually took the towel handed by the maid. "Daenerys, you are slandering and insulting..."

Daenerys interrupted, "You dare to manipulate True Dragon at will. What you awakened is my Dragon's Wrath. There is only one result for you, death!"

"You..."

Illyrio First I felt a coldness in my neck, and then a pain in my heart.

Borona's dagger cut Illyrio's throat, and Osana's dagger inserted into Illyrio's chest.

The two of them struck quickly and swiftly. Illyrio just instinctively held his neck and stood for a while before falling straight to the ground.

Daenerys desperately endured his trembling body and forced himself to watch the entire process of Illyrio's treatment.

Illyrio lay on his back in a pool of blood and died with his eyes open.

She actually did it, she finally did it!

Daenerys As soon as his tightly held heart relaxed, his body couldn't help but sway. If he hadn't caught the chair by chance, he would have almost fallen to the ground.

Borona immediately walked over and helped Daenerys sit on the chair.

Daenerys grabbed Borona with trembling hands. "Borona, and Osana, thank you."

Borona shook his head and said, "Your Highness, we are your bodyguards and we are at your disposal."

Osana nodded in agreement.

Daenerys looked at Borona and Osana and said, "Illyrio is the governor after all, we must leave tonight. Osana, leave this to Borona. You go to Crabb Trading Company now and let Dick prepare the boat."

Osana nodded and took steps towards the door.

Daenerys took a breath and said again, "Borona, move Illyrio into the house and prepare more fire starters."

At this time, Viserys came over with an angry voice.

"Who was that woman just now? Is she the new maid sent by Illyrio? Why didn't you bow when you saw me?"

If it were in the past, Daenerys would have been terrified when he saw his brother angry.

At this time, Daenerys didn't feel a trace of fear when he saw Viserys. He even wanted to laugh when he saw his brother's silver hair shaking in anger.

Daenerys said in a calm tone, "She is not the maid sent by Illyrio, she is the escort sent by Lord Gryn to me. They are the real the Warrior!"

Viserys smiled, with a cold smile, "Guard? The Warrior? I don't understand a little bit, my good sister, are you thinking again..."

Blood... this seems to be Illyrio?

Viserys's pupils contracted, he screamed, and stepped back quickly in disbelief. If the person behind him hadn't helped him, he almost tripped over his own heels.

Daenerys's little face tilted slightly and looked at the strange man who appeared in the yard.

The strange man is quite old, about forty years old. He is wearing wool and leather. A dark green coat is embroidered with a black bear with human legs. Although his hair has gradually thinned out, his body is still strong.

Viserys After standing up, he shook off the strange man and reached out to stroke his hair.

Viserys murmured to himself, "My Iron Throne, my Iron Throne, my Iron Throne..."

The strange man felt the appraising gaze from Daenerys and looked over.

After seeing Daenerys's face clearly, the strange man was stunned for a moment.

Daenerys nodded slightly and said, "Stranger, could you please introduce yourself?"

After saying that, Daenerys's lavender eyes made a vague gesture towards Borona.

The strange man glanced at Borona who was staring at him closely, walked a few steps, caressed his chest and saluted. "Good night, Your Highness, my name is Jorah·Mormont, I am the North from Westeros. I am a knight who was exiled by the current Iron Throne. King Viserys invited me to be a guest here."

"Sir Jorah, why were you exiled?"

Jorah·Mormont hesitated for a moment and replied, "I secretly sold a few poachers I caught to slave traders, which violated the Westeros law prohibiting the sale of slaves.
