Chapter 100 - Chapter 100: White Walkers Are Not Scary

Daenerys couldn't help feeling a fear for those unknown yet difficult to deal with monsters.

[The White Walkers can be killed with dragonglass and Valyrian steel weapons. They are not that scary! ] Seeing Daenerys's terrified expression after hearing about the White Walkers, Drogon took the initiative to say.

Daenerys, who was worried about facing the White Walkers in the future, was stunned after hearing Drogon's words. She didn't expect that Drogon even knew about the White Walkers outside the Wall and knew how to deal with them. She felt a little relieved.

Seeing that Daenerys was frightened by his words, Tyrion was about to say a few words of comfort when he discovered that Daenerys's complexion quickly returned to normal. He couldn't help but admire Daenerys' courage.

Even a man like him was frightened when he first heard about the White Walkers. He didn't expect that Daenerys would recover from the shock so quickly.

After taking a sip of red wine, Tyrion continued, "The Night's Watch sought help from various nobles and forces. The wildling king Mance led 100,000 wildlings to attack the Wall."

"The reason they attacked the Wall was to flee south to avoid the White Walker army."

"But the nobles and forces did not take the Night's Watch's request for help seriously. They were all busy with the civil war and had no time to send troops to reinforce the Wall."

Daenerys was surprised to hear that there were 100,000 troops. She only had 40,000 soldiers, and those wildlings were followed by even more powerful white walkers. How could she fight them?

Although she didn't need to worry about the wildlings and white walkers now, Tyrion said that the nobles had no plans to send troops.

It would be best if the wildlings and the White Walkers could break through the Wall and fight the nobles to a mutual defeat, and she could reap the benefits.

But the nobles are not fools, they will definitely find other ways to avoid this situation, and the situation on West Road will become more complicated.

Daenerys originally thought that once she had stabilized the Slave Bay and trained the new recruits, she could march into Westeros.

After listening to Tyrion's analysis, she felt that her own military force was nothing at all, and conquering Westeros was not as easy as she thought.

Although Tyrion shattered her fantasy of competing for the Iron Throne in the short term, he also made her face the reality and her eyes suddenly became clear.

With an understanding of the situation in Westeros and Tyrion's advice, the urgent problem of Slaver's Bay can be slowly resolved.

Daenerys couldn't help but turn her head to look at Drogon, the petite and delicate figure on her shoulders. She couldn't help but hold his little head with her hand and rub it against her cheek, thanking Drogon for bringing her Tyrion, such a talented Prime Minister.

Although she has always called herself the Mother of Dragons, Drogon has been guiding and helping her unconsciously since she was born. She no longer regards Drogon as her son, but as her close partner and support.

Feeling the delicate skin on the Dragon Queen's face, Drogon rubbed her cheek twice with his little head.

Standing up from her chair, Daenerys walked up to Tyrion, took out a silver King's Hand badge from her body and said, "Tyrion Lannister, I now appoint you as the Queen's Hand. Are you willing to serve me?"

Looking at the silver badge in Daenerys's hand, although Tyrion had expected it, he was still moved and excited when he actually saw the badge.

Ever since he became Hand of the King in King's Landing, he has been obsessed with the feeling of having power, but his glory did not last long before he was ousted by his father Tywin.

After he repeatedly requested a reward for defending the city, his father Tywin appointed him to the position of Minister of Finance, a job that no one wanted to take, to raise gold coins for Joffrey's wedding.

He ran around for this and finally got what he needed for the wedding from the Queen of Thorns in Highgarden. He didn't expect that the wedding almost became his own grave.

He didn't expect that the long-sought Hand of the King was not obtained in King's Landing, but in the foreign Slaver's Bay.

However, compared to the Hand of the King in King's Landing, he would rather serve as the Hand of the Queen. He did not want to return to that corrupt and ruthless city, and would rather assist the new queen in the small place of Slaver's Bay.

Looking at Daenerys, Tyrion knelt on one knee and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I will serve you till death!"

When Tyrion stood up, Daenerys personally put the badge of Hand of the King on him.

Drogon, standing on Daenerys' shoulder, also grinned at Tyrion and congratulated him on his re-election as Prime Minister of a country.

Tyrion knew Drogon was smiling at him, and he smiled and nodded in thanks.

If there hadn't been the mysterious man behind Drogon, he would have probably died in the trial by combat, never having had the chance to demonstrate what he had learned.

After Tyrion became the Hand of the Queen, Daenerys successively appointed members of her Private Council, namely: Captain Barristan of the Queen's Guard, Hizdahr, the Minister of Finance, Grey Worm, who also serves as the Minister of Law, Jorah, who also serves as the Chief of Intelligence, Missandei, the counselor, and Daario, the Minister of the Sea.

Hizdahr had not expected to have a seat on the Queen's small council, and was thrilled to hear of the appointment.

The next day, as the sun rose, Tyrion presided over the first royal meeting. Except for Daario who was absent in Yunkai, everyone else was present at the meeting. Grey Worm also attended with an injury.

The meeting mainly discussed Tyrion's suggestions for Daenerys on how to govern Slaver's Bay, and listened to the suggestions of other members of the King's Council.

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard Tyrion's proposal to reclaim the wasteland.

Outside the three cities was black soil, which was extremely fertile, but the great lord only planted wheat and olives for their needs, and most of the land outside the city was barren.

There is no way to make money faster than raising slaves through hard farming, and the slaves' food is transported to the Slave Bay by ship.

Tyrion asked Hizdahr in detail about the production of minerals, wine and refined salt in Meereen, and also asked about the trade situation between Yunkai and Astapor. After all, the Royal Conference was held for the three cities of Slaver's Bay, not just to serve Meereen.

The promotion of the law is left to the Unsullied, Grey Worm's subordinates, assisted by Missandei.

Tomorrow is the day when the school officially starts. Missandei reported on the preparations for each subject.

The first brief and highly efficient imperial meeting ended quickly, taking only more than thirty minutes.

The meeting ended and Tyrion came to a room where Daenerys was reading a book.

Tyrion reported the meeting resolution to Daenerys, and they discussed it for a while before leaving.

Daenerys continued to read the book about the history of the Targaryen family in her hand. This book was donated by the Great Lord and was the history of the Targaryen family passed down during the reign of the Freehold of Valyria.

There are some contents in it that even Daenerys, a Targaryen, doesn't know.

"Drogon, can you understand the words above too?" Daenerys asked with a smile when she saw Drogon also standing on her shoulder and craning his neck to look down.

Since the last time Barristan was attacked, Daenerys guessed that Drogon should know the Valyrian language.

  Last time, after she received the bird's tip from Varys, Drogon rushed out as soon as she unfolded the secret letter. How could he know that Barristan was attacked and find the exact location of the attack without understanding the text?
