Since Daniella successfully rode a dragon, for many years she rarely attended royal banquets except on major holidays, so she was indeed a bit unaccustomed to the socializing among nobles.
Led by Aemma and Rhaenyra, she was forced to fake a smile and socialize for over an hour, which tormented Daniella.
So she found an opportunity to return to her room to rest early.
Perhaps to partake in Daniella’s fine wine, the King and nobles had no intention of leaving even after several days.
And the banquets every day during these few days would last until very late, and who knows how many infatuated men and women were lost in them.
Even her four handmaidens were captivated by those noble young masters.
If Daniella hadn’t been extremely strict with her subordinates in this regard, who knows if they would have been able to preserve their chastity.
The ten three-masted sailboats Daniella won were also delivered yesterday.
They were fully equipped, with complete crews and sailors, and loaded with a month’s worth of supplies.
This could be considered Lord Beaumont’s final act of stubbornness and dignity.
Daniella then pleaded with King Jaehaerys to swap half of the personnel with the royal crew.
This way, even if these people had any ulterior motives, they wouldn’t be able to cause trouble.
To modify these sailboats, Daniella took two million gold Dragons from her small treasury and gave them to Samwell, asking him to find a reliable captain to send the ships to Braavos for modification, and to purchase ten more warships on the way back.
To ensure Braavos took it seriously, Daniella also invited the father of her personal handmaiden Gariel, the Earl of Gulltown, to be in charge of this operation.
At the same time, Samwell also planned to collect some special products from Westeros to take along, which would allow for considerable profit on a round trip.
This day, just as dawn was breaking, Daniella was once again woken up by the mischievous Meraxes.
The powder-pink Meraxes, like a hungry puppy, rubbed against Daniella while staring eagerly with its purple-pink vertical pupils, expressing that it was hungry.
So Daniella quickly got up and ordered the guards outside the door to have the kitchen send over the prepared roasted lamb.
Meraxes ate the seasoned roasted meat with great enthusiasm.
It ate several pounds before contentedly lying down in the black stone nest Daniella had built for it and falling asleep.
As Daniella had lost her sleepiness, she directly had her handmaidens come in to assist her with washing up.
After a simple breakfast in her room, she changed into her Dragon Rider’s leather armor and rode Dreamfyre to hunt in the Narrow Sea.
Last night’s banquet still ended very late, and those nobles definitely wouldn’t get up too early.
Soaring over Dragonstone Island on Dreamfyre, Daniella noticed that the residents of White Sheep Town had already begun to work in the fields.
With spring returning to the land, it was now the sowing season for this crop.
The diligent farmers enthusiastically sowed their hopes.
And the chimneys of the winery on the hillside north of White Sheep Town had hardly rested recently, as “dragonflame wine” had officially entered the stage of the Seven Kingdoms.
Demand had greatly increased, and to meet market demand, they dared not relax for a moment.
The Fishing Village, located at the port, was much quieter.
These days, due to the arrival of a large number of nobles, the village’s taverns, inns, and brothels were uncharacteristically bustling with customers, so they would stay open very late every day.
And the most popular place in the port village was the “Fire Kiss Garden,” which Daniella secretly arranged for people to operate.
That was a three-story, garden-style Lysene pleasure garden meticulously crafted by craftsmen from the Three Daughters Kingdom, hired by Daniella with high salaries.
Inside, whether it was the decor, the layout, the prostitutes, or the bed slaves, all were carefully collected by Lord Tarth at Daniella’s request, and the cost was not small.
Thus, merchants who had visited Dragonstone lingered and returned, which not only brought Daniella a considerable amount of gray income but also served as an important channel for her to gather intelligence.
Many nearby nobles would also frequent it, and this time it became the most popular spot for all the great nobles.
Although the “Fire Kiss Garden” was expensive, those noble lords didn’t care in the slightest, and large sums of gold Dragons flowed into Daniella’s pockets.
Her cousin Daemon was a big client of the Fire Kiss Garden, often riding his dragon to stay overnight there, and in recent days, he had practically lived inside it.
However, the income from the “Fire Kiss Garden” was used by Daniella to send people to various cities to gather orphans and intelligence personnel.
Since the opening of the “Fire Kiss Garden,” no fewer than a thousand intelligent and clever orphans have been collected from various places.
In this world, almost every city gathers a large number of vagrants and orphans.
So this work is not difficult.
After these orphans arrived at Dragonstone Island, after layers of assessment and selection, the top hundred children were arranged in Daniella’s manor in a valley on Dragonstone New Island.
Although this manor was built very simply, all kinds of facilities were readily available.
And inside, there were a large number of talents such as gladiator champions, assassins, scholars, and healers, all bought by Lord Tarth at great expense from Slavers Bay.
These children were sent to learn skills from them, and they were the direct force Daniella was preparing for her future.
The eliminated children were sent to the winery, blacksmith shop, and farm to learn basic means of livelihood.
Some with extraordinary talent were sent to the “Fire Kiss Garden.” Find the original chapter at g.com.
This season is when marine creatures such as whales, dolphins, sharks, and jellyfish migrate from the Summer Sea to the northern waters.
Therefore, it is a rare fishing and hunting season.
Dreamfyre has also caught many large marine fish recently.
Daniella flew Dreamfyre for a while and encountered many large schools of fish.
Dreamfyre only needed to get close to the sea surface and powerfully flap its wings to send large fish flying into the air, then roast them with a breath of Dragonflame and quickly swallow them.
After about half an hour, they found a large group of migrating tuna, and following them were a group of dolphins and a few great white sharks.
After confirming the target with Daniella, Dreamfyre directly dived towards a great white shark.
Its speed was so fast that Daniella’s ears became somewhat deaf.
Dreamfyre’s huge Dragon Wing claws instantly grasped the great white shark’s body, then rapidly ascended.
The great white shark, caught in mid-air, didn’t even dare to move.
Many creatures in this world are much larger than those in the world Daniella was in during her previous life, which might be related to the much higher oxygen content in this world.
This great white shark was a full fourteen to fifteen meters long, and its weight was definitely ten tons.
“Good harvest!”
With a good harvest, Daniella then rode Dreamfyre back.
But just as they were about to reach Dragonstone New Island, they unexpectedly ran head-on into three small dragons, over ten meters long, fleeing in a panic.
One was silver-gray, slender in build, with scales that shimmered like morning mist in the sunlight.
“Grey Shadow?!”
Daniella recognized at a glance this poor little dragon, who had once been famous in Dragonstone’s history and was later eaten by Sunfyre.
What about the other two?
The other two were much stronger and larger than Grey Shadow.
The green little dragon looked very similar to Dreamfyre, with a bronze-green body, black teeth, black claws, and jade-like green and bronze scales that reflected light.
The largest one was completely black, with Dragon Wing scales, Dragon Wing, and Dragon Wing horns all as black as charcoal, only its eyes, like green ghost gems, looked extraordinary.
