Margaery knew that Old Rose dared to say this, and she must have planned a strategy for Gary. She asked, "Grandma, do you have any good suggestions?"
Lady Olenna sees that Gary has the arrogance of a young man and may not necessarily adopt her suggestion. But the other party is his grandson-in-law, so he must help if he can.
"You should consolidate the North, Riverlands and the Reach and recharge your batteries. Use the geographical advantages of the North and Riverlands to strive for an alliance with Vale to deter Westerlands and Crownlands. At the same time, stabilize the Reach situation and help House Tyrell surrender those the Reach nobles who have turned against them. A united the Reach can help you defend Dorne in the south."
Margaery nodded in agreement, "A stable the Reach can continuously provide our army with food and weapons support."
Apart from Westerlands, which has gold mines, the Reach is Westeros's second-richest country and is also the place with the largest grain output.
Lady Olenna noticed that Gary's attitude had relaxed, so he gave the three of them a history lesson.
"Do you know how long it took Aegon·Targaryen to unify Seven Kingdoms? It took him two years to conquer the six countries through war, but only Dorne was not conquered by him."
"Dornish will be defeated by Dragon, but will never surrender. Every time Dragon flies away from Dorne, it is the clarion call for their counterattack."
"Dorne became independent for nearly two hundred years after the end of War of Conquest of Aegon. Finally, through marriage, Dorne was merged into the kingdom of Targaryen."
Due to territorial issues, the relationship between the Reach and Dorne is not harmonious.
"I am not saying this to praise the power of Dorne, but I want you to understand that you cannot rush your War of Conquest. There is still a lot of time, and you are all still young, so you can take it step by step."
Under Margaery's expectant gaze, Gary said, "I will refer to these suggestions, but Seven Kingdoms's situation is changing rapidly, and I can't guarantee anything."
He believes that there are too many variables in Westeros, not only the dormant Vale and Dorne, but also the White Walkers army north of Wall. Any variable can break all the plans of Gary and Lady Olenna.
Lady Olenna is very confident in Gary, "With your strength, as long as you hide your strength and bide your time, and act steadily, it is only a matter of time before you win Seven Kingdoms."
Gary smiled and said nothing, and brought the topic back to Margaery and Lady Olenna.
The grandfather and grandson chatted until very late, and they didn't give up until nightfall.
Gary and others also decided to stay at Highgarden overnight under the kindness of Old Rose, so that Margaery could have enough time to say goodbye to Lady Olenna.
Originally I thought it would take Margaery a few days before he could make up his mind to separate from his grandmother.
Who would have expected that just one night later, Margaery found Gary, "Let's go, it's time for us to wake up."
Gary and Daenerys were both surprised, "Why don't you stay for a few more days? It's okay, there's no rush."
Margaery shook her head. Although she still had nostalgia in her heart, after one night of enlightenment from Old Rose, she had accepted her grandmother's death.
Gary no longer insisted, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and the dream disappeared...
real world.
Gary Three people woke up at the same time. They were lying on the bed, looking at each other and smiling.
It was a day in the dream, only an hour had passed in reality, and it was still just dark.
Gary sat up and said, "Okay, you all go back to your rooms and rest. Let's continue working tomorrow morning!"
Daenerys obediently got out of bed and put on her shoes. When she walked to the door, she found that Margaery had not followed her, so she turned around and asked, "Miss Tyrell, aren't you leaving?"
Margaery blinked at Daenerys, "Princess Dragon, today is the day I said."
Daenerys blushed instantly and hesitated, "You... oh, then I'll go back to the room."
She closed the door and trotted away.
Gary couldn't understand their riddles, so he pinched Margaery's face and said, "Tell me, what bad idea are you planning?"
Margaery held Gary's face, gave him a kiss, and murmured, "Thank you for everything, Luke."
Gary raised the corner of his mouth and gently touched his lips with his fingers, recalling the touch just now, "It tastes good. It's a very good thank you gift. I accepted it. Go back and rest early, I have to go to the study again..."
Margaery turned over and sat on him, leaned over and said in his ear, "Coward, do you want to escape?"
Gary's body was stiff and motionless. He joked with a half-smile, "Don't test my endurance. I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand such a test."
Margaery didn't say anything. She opened her pink lips slightly and bit Gary's neck.
In this way, Gary, who was provoked, launched a counterattack.
A protracted battle took place between a veteran who had not been on the battlefield for a long time and another recruit who had rich theoretical knowledge but no practical experience.
The battle was so brutal that Daenerys, who was a few rooms away, had insomnia.
The next morning.
Gary couldn't bear to wake up the tortured Margaery. After giving her a good morning kiss, he went downstairs to eat alone.
In the hall, he met Daenerys, whose eyes were bloodshot. He realized that he had made too much noise last night, and said with an awkward smile, "I will have another day off today. You can go back and catch up on your sleep."
Daenerys didn't dare to talk to Gary at all. He nodded silently and went back to his room after breakfast.
Gary simply ate a few pieces of bread to fill his stomach, then he went upstairs with a bowl of broth and bread and returned to his room.
Before Margaery woke up on the feather bed, Gary first put breakfast on the wooden table aside and called out a few times.
Margaery responded in a daze, "Don't make any noise, Huhu, I want to sleep for a while..."
Gary couldn't help laughing and laughed softly. He turned around and left the bedroom and came to the study room next door.
In the study room.
He looked at yesterday's intelligence letter and asked for a dozen soldiers.
These soldiers are all good soldiers in the army, and each of them has excellent combat effectiveness. Of course, the strongest among them is "The Hound" Sandor.
"You should know the reason why I asked you to come, right?"
The soldiers nodded. When they formed the team, they knew their mission.
Gary reiterated, "House Tyrell has helped Sansa escape from King's Landing. According to the agreement, they will send her to Riverrun. Your task is to go to Riverrun and take Miss Sansa back to Winterfell."
"Yes! Your Majesty!" All the soldiers nodded in agreement.
Gary pointed at Sandor, who was standing aside, looking a little out of touch, "This operation is commanded by Sandor. You must remember that Riverlands is full of Lannister troops, so be careful."
