Daenerys, holding Drogon's little paw, soon realized something was wrong. Knowing that Drogon had fallen asleep again, she could only carry him to the nest prepared in advance. He would probably sleep until noon tomorrow.
The subjects offered by the academy are progressing smoothly, and the suggestions made by Tyrion are slowly showing results.
Only a small number of slaves in Yunkai could not bear the hard work of farming, and most of the others were willing to cultivate land outside Yunkai.
Moreover, Daenerys promised that the land they reclaimed would belong entirely to them in the future, and they could also build houses on the land to facilitate farming.
This system further stimulated the enthusiasm of the Yunkai people, who were once slaves. Some of them were even not afraid of the hard work and enclosed a large piece of land for themselves.
Allowing the people to farm freely solved a major problem in the Slaver's Bay. Daenerys also had some free time, so after putting Drogon away, she picked up a history of the nobility of Westeros and began to read.
After just a few minutes of reading, there was a knock on the door. shireen quickly put down the teaching book in her hand and opened the door.
"Your Majesty, the guards on the city wall report that a fleet of about fifty ships has arrived on the sea. You should go and take a look!" As soon as the door opened, Barristan hurried in to report.
Upon hearing that a fleet of fifty ships was approaching Meereen, Daenerys's face changed. She glanced at Drogon who was still sleeping, and walked out with Barristan.
Five minutes later, Daenerys climbed onto the city wall and saw densely packed warships on the sea.
"Have you notified Jorah and Grey Worm?" After roughly counting the number of large ships, Daenerys asked Barristan with a frown.
"They are coming with people!"
Although fifty ships can only carry 5,000 soldiers and do not pose much threat to Meereen, Daenerys does not dare to be careless.
Ten minutes later, Jorah and Grey Worm also arrived at the city wall. The fifty large ships also stopped far away, and only the leading ship continued to sail towards Meereen.
"It's the Iron Islands of Westeros. What are they doing here?" Seeing the pattern of a sea monster that looked like a squid and an octopus on the dark sea on the flag, Daenerys remembered the Iron Islands' family emblem that she had seen in the past two days.
"The Iron Islands are occupied by Balon's brother Euron. I wonder if this fleet belongs to Euron." Barristan said, remembering the information Varys sent a few days ago.
It wasn't long before the ship approached the walls of Meereen. At the bow was a man wearing tight leather armor, with long hair draped behind him, looking towards the walls of Meereen against the sea breeze.
Although Daenerys and her companions were not sure who the person at the bow was, they could tell it was not Euron because they saw the large curves of her upper body.
"It should be the Iron Lady Yara." Jorah said, looking at the person at the bow.
"I am Yara Greyjoy of the Iron Islands. Is Queen Daenerys on the city wall? Can I come in and discuss this?"
Daenerys also guessed Yara's identity, and when she was about to speak, Yara recognized her.
Daenerys ordered her men to open the city gate that had just been closed, allowing Yara to dock and enter the city.
After entering the city, Yara was led into the pyramid meeting hall.
Looking at Daenerys's ministers in the council hall, Yara's eyes fixed on Tyrion. After a moment of silence, she gradually understood.
Seeing Yara's surprised look, Tyrion nodded slightly to her.
"Your Majesty, I come with fifty-two ships and three thousand soldiers, hoping to help you seize the Iron Throne."
Entering the hall and looking at Daenerys sitting on the podium, Yara didn't waste any words and directly stated her purpose.
"So what do you want?" Daenerys was not in a hurry to accept Yara's help.
The Iron Islands and the Riverlands were formerly known as the Kingdom of the Riverlands and the Iron Islands. Yara is different from Daenerys's other men.
Moreover, Daenerys is not yet the real Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, and Yara has established an alliance with her.
"I hope you will help me retake the Iron Islands after you enter Westeros, and recognize me as the leader of the Iron Islands after I seize the Iron Throne." Yara continued.
"If I remember correctly, you seem to have a younger brother, Theon. Would he be willing for you to sit on the Salt Throne?" Tyrion asked before Daenerys answered.
Daenerys glanced at Tyrion and nodded slightly. Although she had been studying the history of the nobles in Westeros, her true understanding of them was certainly not as good as that of Tyrion, a native of Westeros.
"He's dead! He can't be in power in the Iron Islands." Yara told everyone the surprising news.
"Oh? As far as we know, the facts don't seem to be as you said." Tyrion retorted.
"I led a rescue operation against Theon, but he would not go with me. He is no longer fit to be the leader of the Iron Islands."
Thinking of the failed rescue, Yara was both angry and distressed. Although her feelings for her brother Theon were limited to their childhood, she still didn't want to see Theon, who had lost himself in the cage being tortured by the flayer.
She knew that even if Theon was rescued, he would never be able to lead the ironmen again, and the ironmen would not follow him.
After hearing Yara's answer, combined with the sad expression on her face, everyone didn't know why Theon didn't follow his sister Yara who rescued him after being captured by the Ramblers, but they didn't dare to ask.
Although Yara is a woman, it was she, not Theon, who led the fleet to form an alliance with Daenerys, so Daenerys would certainly support her to sit on the Salt Throne.
If Drogon were standing on Daenerys' shoulder at this moment, he would definitely tell her the true condition of Theon now. He was physically and mentally unable to become the leader of the iron race in the Iron Islands.
"I wonder how your uncle Euron is doing now?" Tyrion wanted to know more about the Iron Islands.
"He killed my father, seized control of the Iron Islands, is building more great ships, and may come to visit Her Majesty."
"Looking for me?" Daenerys didn't think that Euron would come to attack her and seize the Slave Bay.
"Yes, I heard that he has long admired the name of the Mother of Dragons. Not only does he want to get you, he also has plans for your dragon. Oh, why don't I see any dragons?"
After Yara heard about Daenerys's deeds in Slaver's Bay from the marauding Ironborn, she planned to come and join her with the remaining men.
I thought I could see the legendary real dragon, but I didn't see anything. I couldn't help but feel disappointed.
Daenerys's face darkened when she heard that Euron was planning to take advantage of her and her dragons. But when she heard Yara asking about her dragons, she turned her anger into joy and said, "One of them is sleeping, and the other two should be out looking for food. You will see them soon."
Thinking of Drogon who was sleeping soundly at this moment, Daenerys couldn't help but smile, which stunned Yara.
No wonder Uncle Euron wanted to come to Slaver's Bay. Even I felt a little moved when I saw Queen Daenerys.
