Chapter 159 - Chapter 159: Tyrion's Concerns

When Daenerys saw that Drogon had no intention of continuing to spit dragon flames, she stopped urging him and flew in the air to observe the entire battle situation.

Although Drogon did not continue to burn people, his hovering in the air was a huge deterrent. Wherever he flew, the soldiers there could not face the Dothraki with peace of mind.

After more than thirty days of sailing in the poisonous waters and a few days of suffocation on the Crab Claw Peninsula, the King's Landing cavalry gave the Dothraki a complete vent, shouting and killing.

If you don't look at the picture and only listen to the sound, you would think they are engaging in some kind of grassland competition.

The almost one-sided killing lasted less than an hour and ended completely. All the King's Landing cavalry were killed except for those who laid down their weapons and surrendered.

Jaime was also among the prisoners and was brought before Daenerys with his hands tied.

Drogon had already seen Jaime in the sky, but Daenerys only just realized that Jaime was the Kingslayer who killed her father Aerys.

As the king's Kingsguard, Jaime not only failed to protect King Aerys, but also killed him with his own hands.

Daenerys really wants to avenge her father now, but considering that Jaime and Tyrion have always had a good relationship, she has to consider the feelings of her Hand of the Queen.

He ordered people to clean up the battlefield, and Jaime was escorted back to Dragonstone by Jorah himself. Daenerys also returned to Harrenhal with the Dothraki, and would return to Dragonstone after they settled down.

The news that the 10,000 cavalry led by Jaime were completely wiped out soon reached King's Landing.

Cersei and Kevan only then realized that Daenerys's target for sending the Dothraki was actually Harrenhal, in order to find a resettlement place for the Dothraki, rather than to relieve Riverrun.

As a result, they lost 10,000 elite cavalry in vain, and Daenerys captured Cersei's brother Jaime.

As a regicide, one can imagine what kind of outcome awaits Jaime.

Kevan also had to readjust his strategy. He had discovered that Daenerys might not attack King's Landing immediately, but wanted to fight a protracted war. Otherwise, she would not be in a hurry to resettle the Dothraki.

This certainly gives them more defensive preparations, but at the same time it will also cause King's Landing to slowly lose control of its surroundings and become an isolated city. He has already guessed Tyrion's plan.

The news of the 10,000-man cavalry battle near Divine Eye Lake was soon known to the nobles in various towns, and some even witnessed the entire battle from a distance.

I saw the huge figure of the black dragon Drogon, heard about his terrible dragon flame that burned people into pieces, and heard about the Dothraki people's bravery in killing people like cutting grass.

The nobles who were originally dissatisfied with Cersei, the regent queen who controlled the government, began to consider turning to Daenerys after seeing her dragons and the fighting power of her Dothraki.

The Lannister and Frey armies besieging Riverrun also learned the reason for the Battle of Godseye Lake from scouts.

Even if the Dothraki's target in that battle was not the army outside Riverrun, how could they stop them when they really came?

Even if they don't come to attack now, they will most likely lift the siege of Riverrun in the future. The army outside the city has no good way to deal with the Dothraki cavalry.

Tyrion knew that the mysterious man had asked Varys to send a letter to save the Wolf mother and son, and he had also suggested to Daenerys to relieve the siege of Riverrun.

But Daenerys refused. Robb had proclaimed himself the King in the North. Daenerys did not want the Wolf family as an ally, but wanted them to submit to her.

She had no intention of rescuing him until she had received confirmation that Robb had given up the throne.

After settling 20,000 Dothraki in Harrenhal, Daenerys returned to Dragonstone and brought the Kingslayer Jaime out of the dungeon.

She wanted to publicly interrogate Jaime in the council chamber, which would also be a way of giving Tyrion an explanation.

Looking at his brother Jaime with his hands tied and a tired face, Tyrion wanted to step forward but held himself back. He knew Queen Daenerys's hatred for the usurper Robert and the kingslayer.

His intimate behavior might arouse Daenerys's disgust, which would be unfavorable to Jaime's judgment. She could only frown deeply and watch Jaime from afar.

Jaime also saw Tyrion standing on the platform and nodded slightly to him.

Jaime had already known from Varys that Tyrion had finally gotten his wish and became Daenerys's Hand of the Queen, and he was secretly very happy for him.

As for Cersei's order for the arrest of Tyrion, the patricide, he knew that although Tyrion hated his father Tywin very much, he would not do such an unfilial act as to kill his father.

He had some vague guesses about the real murderer, but he didn't dare to believe it.

Daenerys looked at Jaime who was brought up, then looked at Tyrion who frowned, and asked loudly: "Jaime Lannister, as a Kingsguard, you killed the king you swore to protect with your own hands. Do you know your crime?"

"I know I'm guilty!" James confessed without making any excuses.

After Jaime finished speaking, Tyrion could no longer hold back and said to Daenerys: "Your Majesty, I have heard Jaime talk about the scene of killing King Aerys."

"King Aerys had already ordered the city of King's Landing to be filled with wildfires. He was only waiting for Robert's army to enter the city and then ignite the wildfires to bury himself, Robert's army, nobles, and the poor."

"If Jaime hadn't..., not only would the king have died, but most people in King's Landing would have died."

After Tyrion finished speaking, he looked at Daenerys eagerly, hoping that she would spare him for his sake and the reasons why Jaime had to take action.

If Jaime confessed directly without making any excuses, Daenerys would most likely execute him.

After listening to what Tyrion said, Daenerys's face became a little gloomy. She had heard of the name of her father, the Mad King Aerys, a long time ago.

But that was also the father she had never met, and Daenerys still had a little fantasy about him. Now that Tyrion pointed it out to her in person, no one would look happy.

"Jaime, do you have anything else to say?" Daenerys did not respond to Tyrion and continued to ask Jaime.

"The facts are indeed as Tyrion said, but this is not a reason for me to break my oath." Jaime not only did not make any excuses, but continued to admit his crimes.

After listening to Jaime, Tyrion didn't say anything else, but waited for Daenerys' decision with a serious face.

Daenerys sat on the throne with her chest heaving. She really wanted to kill Jaime to avenge her father, but what Tyrion said was the truth, and what Tyrion did for her diligently made it difficult for Daenerys to make a decision.

Drogon also knew that Daenerys was in a very difficult situation at the moment, but it was difficult for him to intervene in such matters, so he could only let Daenerys make the decision herself.

"Lock Jaime in the dungeon and keep him under strict guard!" Daenerys said while gritting her teeth as she looked at Jaime below the stage.

After Daenerys finished speaking, Tyrion couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. As long as he wasn't executed, it was fine.

After hearing Daenerys' decision, it was not only Tyrion who relaxed, but also Barristan, Jorah and other ministers of the Royal Council.

If Daenerys really executed Jaime, even they would not know how to work with Tyrion, the Hand of the Queen, in the future, let alone Daenerys who gave the order personally.

It is hard to say whether Tyrion will still do his best for the queen.
