Facing the appearance of Dragon, Lady Olenna regarded it as Magic of Gary and was not too surprised. "So, with the help of Magic and Dragon, you have the strength to capture Iron Throne. No wonder..."

She looked at Gary, her prospective grandson-in-law, and the more she looked at him, the more she liked him. After all, Gary was much better than Joffrey, who had a twisted personality.

"Young man, although you are powerful, your identity does not allow you to legally sit on Iron Throne. The other six countries may raise armies to resist you. Alas, you still have a long way to go."

Gary did not refute, nor did he want to explain anything. His purpose in creating the dream was to let Margaery see Lady Olenna for the last time, and he did not want to discuss too much about matters related to himself.

He took a half step back and said, "Lady Olenna, can you untie the knot in Margaery's heart? She blames herself very much for your death, and I don't want to see her like this."

Lady Olenna looked at Gary lovingly, then turned to look at Margaery beside him, "You don't have to worry too much, King in the North. Margaery is my granddaughter. She is much stronger than you think, and she will come out on top."

Margaery held Lady Olenna's hands tightly, thinking of her grandmother's death, and said remorsefully, "Grandma, I'm sorry. If I had convinced you earlier, if I had stayed with you Highgarden, if..."

Lady Olenna smiled and shook his head, "My dear, you don't have to apologize to me. I'm very happy that I exchanged my life for you two little guys. The Reach's future is you, not me, an old immortal."

She looked at the circular garden and plant maze of Highgarden. No one appreciated the beautiful scenery of blooming flowers.

"Look at Highgarden in this world, I am the only old woman left. House Tyrell has no one to follow, and the Reach's armies and castles are meaningless."

Margaery sniffed and complained like a child, "Grandma, without you here, the big families of the Reach will jump out and sing the opposite, and they will definitely defect to Lannister privately. My father can't control them at all, what should I do?"

Lady Olenna patted the back of Margaery's hand, "You have the support of Highgarden and Loras, and you also have the North and Dragon. Don't worry, those idiots from the Reach won't be able to cause trouble for long."

Margaery burst into laughter, nodded and said, "Yes, that's right, I have three brothers and Luke. But, grandma... I miss you so much."

Lady Olenna was stunned for a moment, then smiled even more happily, "Three brothers? In your world, are Willas and Garlan also alive? It's great. With you here, I feel relieved."

"Grandma..." Margaery called Lady Olenna softly, his tone full of nostalgia.

Lady Olenna smiled freely and said, "Just remember those who have passed away. Don't be immersed in sorrow and ignore other relatives. Come, tell me about your situation, and let me, an old woman, play my final role."

Margaery shared the information they had learned with Lady Olenna. She wanted to chat with Lady Olenna for a while longer, so she spoke in detail.

Gary conjured two wooden chairs and sat with Daenerys, patiently waiting for the grandson and grandson.

After listening to a lot of information from Margaery, Lady Olenna found a few key points, "Ironborn invaded the Reach? It seems that your situation is not as good as I thought, and it is not optimistic."

Margaery couldn't figure it out, so she asked, "Grandma, it's common for Ironborn to invade Westeros's west coast. The North, Riverlands, Westerlands, and the four southern regions have all had conflicts with Ironborn. Why is grandma so worried this time?"

Lady Olenna frowned and explained, "Child, our the Reach's most powerful fleet is Redwyne Fleet on Qingting Island. If I guessed correctly, they should still be stationed at Blackwater Bay on King's Landing."

Only then did Margaery remember this, "Grandma, you mean our fleet is all at King's Landing? Then... who can resist Ironborn's fleet?"

Lady Olenna shook his head seriously and said in a deep voice, "No one can resist... It won't be long before Shield Islands and Qingting Island will fall. As long as Ironborn controls these two sea areas, it can launch continuous attacks on Highgarden and Oldtown..."

Margaery can only hope that Redwyne Fleet can return quickly the Reach, "Brother Garlan will lead his army back to defend, and he will definitely catch up."

Lady Olenna said nothing about this. She turned to Gary and asked, "King in the North, after you finish solving the civil strife in the North, it's time to consider the issue of the other two fiefdoms."

"The other two fiefs?"

Gary was confused and asked, "Lady Olenna, only House Tully of Riverlands swears allegiance to me, there is no second lord."

Lady Olenna pointed to the land under his feet and said with a serious face, "The Reach is also your land. You and Margaery are about to get married, and the three Willas brothers are leaning towards you. It is only a matter of time before Highgarden will be loyal to you."

Gary heard the meaning of Lady Olenna's words, "Madam, do you want me to come to the Reach's aid?"

Lady Olenna did not shy away from his selfishness at all, and nodded and admitted, "That's right. After you finish handling Riverlands's war, you should help the Reach tide over the difficulties. You have Dragon, but you are not afraid of being separated from the Reach by Westerlands and Crownlands."

Gary doesn't think this is a good idea. He has his own plan. "I think we should capture King's Landing as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary complications. Once I capture Crownlands and Westerlands, it won't be too late to support the Reach."

Lady Olenna's poisonous tongue attribute immediately recovered, "Too young, do you think Dragon and Magic can help you conquer Westerlands and Crownlands? With Cersei's character, she would rather destroy these two castles with Wildfire than hand them over to you intact."

Gary couldn't help but retort, "It doesn't matter, Casterly Rock and King's Landing are not important, I just need to win the dominance of Westerlands and Crownlands as soon as possible."

Lady Olenna thought Gary was so naive. She said, "Because of the war, a large number of civilians poured into King's Landing. Now King's Landing has at least one million people. Do you want to give up so many people? My child, the king does not rule the wasteland, but the people on the land."

Gary was speechless. He had to admit that Old Rose was right. Besides, the reason why he conquered Seven Kingdoms was to make the people believe in Supreme God. Fortunately, Old Rose woke him up, otherwise he would have put the cart before the horse and would definitely regret it in the future.

Lady Olenna added, "Even if you can capture Westerlands and Crownlands, your army is seriously insufficient. How can you guard these two lands? The nobles loyal to Lannister will counterattack your remaining army after you and Dragon leave."

She reminded again, "There are also Prince Daolang of Vale's Petyr·Baelish and Dorne. They are all your potential enemies."
