Highgarden Outside the city.
Gary and Shadowcat entered a forest. He took out a homemade wooden whistle from the inside of his jacket and blew it.
The vegetation in the forest is dense and there is no sunlight.
It wasn't until a white figure broke through the blockade of the tree canopy that it brought long-lost light to this land.
Bingling landed smoothly in front of Gary and asked puzzledly, "Why... you... got into a fight... with...?"
Gary took out a lady's handkerchief and said, "Something happened. Margaery's father had some objections to me. This matter has passed, so don't mention it. I called you down because I want you to change the owner of Shadowcat to Margaery. This is her handkerchief."
Bingling was shocked. It swept away the fallen leaves on the ground and wrote on the ground with its paws, "I spent a lot of effort to train this Shadowcat to be so obedient. And you tamed it to protect you. You actually want to give it to someone else?"
Gary also knows that Shadowcat is Bingling's heart, but he has the strength to protect himself now and does not need this personal bodyguard.
"You saw the battle just now. I don't need Shadowcat's protection. Since Margaery wants it, then give it to her."
Bingling jumped up in anger, "Give her... yes! The crown... come and change it!"
Gary couldn't help but raise his forehead, "You are a giant dragon now, what do you want the crown for? Okay, do me this favor, I will buy you whatever you want to eat."
He patted the money bag on his waist and said vowedly.
Bingling is just when it is growing, and it is either hunting food or on the way to catch food every day. Even so, it still feels hungry from time to time.
"Say... Okay? All the gold coins... in the purse... will be used to buy meat?"
"I'll buy them all into meat for you."
After receiving a positive reply, Bingling took away the handkerchief from Gary's hand and disappeared deep into the jungle with Shadowcat.
Gary returned alone. He came outside the woods and rode back to Highgarden's outermost east gate.
At this time, Margaery stood under the huge ice rose, in a daze.
Lord Mace has long since disappeared, he must have entered the city.
Gary rode his horse to Margaery and said, "After a while, Shadowcat will take the initiative to come to you. At that time, it will recognize you as its master."
Margaery turned to look at Gary, "How long can this flower last? Is it also three days?"
Gary shook his head and said, "No, in a few hours, it will start to melt."
Margaery raised his hand and stroked the cold rose stem, his voice was a little low, "It's such a pity."
But soon, she regained her smile and said, "Are you going to leave?"
"Hmm."
Gary turned the horse's head and said, "Let's go, please take care of yourself."
Margaery chased for a few steps and asked loudly, "When you return King's Landing, will you go into the city to see me?"
There is only one main road from Oldtown to King's Landing, Roseroad. It is too far by water and requires half a circle around the mainland.
So no matter what, Gary will pass by Highgarden again on its way back.
"I... will try my best."
Gary didn't dare to look at Margaery's eyes full of begging, and quickly escaped from here.
Margaery looked at his leaving back, and the tears in her eyes disappeared instantly. She stood there, grabbing her hair in great distress. "I have pretended to be pitiful enough, how can he be indifferent? Is it because my charm has declined? Or does he like tougher girls?"
She bit her lips lightly and muttered to herself very dissatisfied, "I finally caught a big fish, how could I let you escape? If you dare not come to Highgarden to find me, I will go to King's Landing to find you!"
Margaery stood there for a long time, until Gary disappeared on the horizon, then she turned around and looked at the delicate ice rose.
Her eyes were full of stars. "It's so beautiful. I wish I could keep it forever."
More than ten days later.
A guard guarding the gate entered the inner city and reported Margaery that a very large Shadowcat appeared near the city gate.
Margaery ran to the outermost city gate with joy to greet his new pet.
Shadowcat squatted obediently outside the city gate. From time to time, he would stick out his tongue full of barbs and comb his fur.
But it is a carnivorous beast after all, so no one dares to approach it.
Margaery tiptoed to Shadowcat and asked, "Big cat, are you here to see me?"
Shadowcat screamed softly, then stood up and walked towards the woods outside the city.
It walked a few steps, and when it saw that Margaery didn't follow, it turned around and called again.
Margaery understood, and Shadowcat asked her to follow him. After hesitating for a while, she decided to go into the woods with Shadowcat to have a look.
"Miss Margaery! It's too dangerous, you can't go in."
The accompanying servants and guards all wanted to stop Margaery, who seemed to be advancing rashly.
Margaery disagreed and raised her hand to stop them from following. "You just stay outside the woods and I'll go in and take a look. Don't worry, this is my fiancé's pet and will never hurt me."
After saying that, she stepped into the woods.
A man and a cat walked in the forest for a long time before they stopped in front of a huge rock.
Margaery saw a familiar white figure above the boulder. She covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Dragon? Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to follow Luke?"
Bingling raised one foot and used his sharp claws to draw white marks on the surface of the boulder.
Margaery took a closer look, and it turned out to be a paragraph Westeros Common Tongue: "The cat can give it to you, but when can you help Luke get the crown?"
"You... you are smart? You can also write!"
Margaery almost bit her tongue, her eyes widened, she took a deep breath and couldn't calm down for a long time.
Bingling rolled his eyes, crossed out that sentence, and wrote, "You don't want to be Luke's spouse. I know one of his elders and can make the decision for him."
Margaery's eyes lit up. This giant dragon seemed very unusual. It was much smarter than the House Targaryen dragons recorded in the book!
"Luke said that he has to wait until you grow up. As long as you have the size of an adult dragon, he will start to restore the country."
Restoration of the country?
Bingling couldn't understand it, but it seemed to remember Gary saying that, waiting for it to grow up or something like that.
However, it is now hungry and fully malnourished. How can it grow up so quickly...
Wait!
Bingling wrote again, "Female human, you seem to... have a very beautiful castle. Are you very rich?"
Margaery nodded in response, "Of course, our House Tyrell's wealth can only be compared to Westerlands's House Lannister."
Bingling smiled knowingly, as if it had found a long-term meal ticket.
"I need a lot of food to thrive. Do you have enough money?"
Margaery instantly became serious, "You need food? In that case, I will personally escort a batch of meat in here every day from now on."
She glanced at Shadowcat, who was napping next to her, and then said, "Shadowcat should be kept here, too. It can be used as a cover-up."
Bingling knew that he could not be exposed in front of other humans, so he nodded in agreement. "Okay, you are very smart, I believe Leaf will like you."
"Leaf?" Margaery has never heard of this name. I wonder who this Leaf is?
Bingling casually wrote, "She is Luke's adoptive mother."
"Adoptive mother? Didn't Luke grow up in Winterfell? How could there be an adoptive mother?" Margaery asked curiously.
But this time, Bingling didn't move its claws again.
After a while, it crossed out the previous ones and wrote, "I'm hungry, go and prepare some meat."
Margaery is not in a hurry. Anyway, she will know Gary's secret sooner or later. "Then you wait here, I will transport the meat right away."
She quickly left the woods, and Shadowcat followed her.
Bingling did not fully trust Margaery, so it quietly hid in the deepest part of the woods, waiting for the return of Margaery.
Margaery, who returned to Highgarden, immediately ordered the butcher in the castle to kill three fat pigs and pull them to the outskirts of the forest on a wooden cart.
"You all go back, I'm going in to feed Shadowcat. It won't see any strangers while it's eating, so don't follow it, for fear of hurting you."
As soon as Margaery finished speaking, Shadowcat, who entered the woods first, roared.
The guards and attendants were so frightened that they did not dare to approach the woods at all. They said timidly, "Miss Margaery, you have to be careful. That beast even ate one of our cavalrymen. It is not suitable for raising at all..."
"Go back! I don't want to say it a second time!" Margaery's pretty face turned cold and he shouted sternly.
"Yes!"
Several guards and servants fled back to the castle quickly.
Margaery personally drove the horse and pulled a cart of pork deep into the woods.
When she returned to the city, she actually thought about betraying Bingling and leading House Tyrell's soldiers to capture it alive.
In this case, House Tyrell can have a giant dragon and Gary is no longer needed.
However, Margaery quickly rejected this idea. Firstly, he did not want to be an enemy of a powerful Wizard. Secondly, this giant dragon was very intelligent and unlikely to be tamed by others.
Thirdly, and most importantly, she wants to control her own destiny, rather than having her destiny determined by her family.
Following Lord Renly to King's Landing this time was not her original intention, but the sacrifice she made for her family.
How could she, a beautiful girl in her prime, be willing to marry the old and fat Robert?
Even though Robert is the king, he only knows how to drink and sleep with women all day long, which makes Margaery very uncomfortable.
Luke·Stark, although the pair of strange eyes are a bit weird, he is still handsome. He is the descendant of House Targaryen, and has a young dragon, which can also be regarded as the legal heir of Iron Throne.
He is also a powerful Wizard who can kill a dozen Highgarden elite cavalry without any harm.
She has never seen such incomparable fighting power!
It's just that Luke·Stark hasn't fallen in love with her yet, which makes Margaery feel very uneasy.
She was afraid that after working so hard to plan everything for him, the crown of queen would fall on another woman's head in the future.
