Chapter 169 - Chapter 169: The nephew is here!

Daenerys took the lead in applauding the two men in the joust, and then told Tyrion and others about Robb's arrival.

Everyone couldn't help but look at Oberyn, who was drinking water after the duel, and probably guessed Robb's purpose.

Robb did not come alone. In addition to two guards, his mother Catelyn also insisted on coming to thank Daenerys.

After escaping back to Riverrun from the Red Wedding, she had secretly thanked the Seven Gods and the people who sent them the message to remind them many times.

Without Daenerys's reminder, he, his son and a dozen other nobles would never have been able to escape the Red Wedding that was carefully planned for them.

Without Robb and the Northern army, she found it hard to imagine what fate her children and Winterfell would face.

Now that she knew it was Daenerys who had just arrived at Dragonstone who reminded them, even though Robb had decided to lead the Northern army to submit to Daenerys, she had to come in person to thank her before she could feel at ease.

When Catelyn arrived at the hall and saw Tyrion standing on the podium, she no longer had the hatred she had for bringing him to the Eyrie for trial.

Although Tyrion married his daughter Sansa at the order of his father Tywin, he did not touch her.

Catelyn also heard Sansa tell how Tyrion had rescued her several times when she was alone in King's Landing, and she was able to avoid being stripped in public by the little monster Joffrey.

Nodding to Tyrion, Catelyn planned to thank him in person later.

Seeing Daenerys on the throne, Robb didn't expect that Daenerys was smaller than he thought. Looking at Drogon again, he had heard from his sister that he might be Daenerys's strongest black dragon.

It was the huge black dragon that he saw that day when he was chasing the Lannister army and it turned into a hatchling.

Standing in the audience, Robb bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, I am Robb Stark from Winterfell in the North, and this is my mother Catelyn Tully."

Robb finished, and Catelyn curtseyed to Daenerys.

Seeing the courtesy that Catelyn showed to Daenerys, Tyrion already understood the real purpose of Robb's visit.

Daenerys was a little surprised at Catelyn's respect, and nodded solemnly to Catelyn.

In the previous series, Catelyn was killed at the Red Wedding and then resurrected by Lord Beric of the Brotherhood Without Banners at his own expense, becoming Lady Stoneheart who only knew revenge.

When he saw her bringing her son to join Daenerys, Drogon felt that it was not in vain that he saved the two of them.

After Robb introduced himself, he knelt on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, on behalf of the nobles of the North, I pledge my loyalty to you from today onwards and do my best to help you seize the Iron Throne!"

Daenerys stood up, walked down the platform, and came to Robb and said solemnly: "I, Daenerys Targaryen, accept your allegiance!"

After entertaining Robb and his companions, Daenerys brought Robb and Oberyn to the Table of Drawings to participate in the formulation of the battle plan.

The siege of Riverrun has been lifted, and the Freys have retreated to the Twins. Tyrion plans to attack the Twins in the near future, and he is also preparing to attack Storm's End, the ancestral home of the Baratheons in the north of Dragonstone.

The last time, Euron entered Shipbreaker Bay from Storm's End and commanded the fleet that had already docked there to launch a surprise attack on Yara.

The King's Road that passes through King's Landing also ends at Storm's End. Capturing it would mean that King's Landing would have one less supply point and one less city that could support it from the outside.

Upon hearing that Daenerys was planning to attack the Twins, Robb volunteered to lead his troops to avenge the nobles and soldiers from the North and the Riverlands who died at the Red Wedding.

Daenerys agreed to Robb's request and sent Rhaegal to assist him in the siege.

Robb was originally a little worried about the heavy losses during the siege, but when he heard that dragons were joining in, his confidence immediately increased, and he assured that only the Northern army would be needed to capture the Twins.

With the Dothraki in Harrenhal eyeing them covetously, King's Landing would never dare to capture Riverrun. Their current defense focus is on King's Landing, and they simply don't have enough troops to take care of other places.

Although the Northern Army now has only 10,000 soldiers, Robb only needs to leave 500 soldiers to guard the city, and the rest can be sent to the Twins.

After the Battle of Riverrun, the number of Frey soldiers who escaped back to the Twins was only half of the number that besieged the city. With the help of a dragon, they would surely be able to quickly capture the Twins.

Storm's End was attacked by a fleet led by Daario, and the Dornish army also joined in, with Viserion assisting.

The next day, just as Daenerys's men were preparing for battle, they received another report from the Unsullied that Jon Snow, commander of the Night's Watch, wanted to see her.

Hearing this somewhat unfamiliar name, Daenerys remembered who Jon was from his identity.

She didn't expect that he, the commander of the Night's Watch, would come to Dragonstone when the White Walkers were about to reach the Wall.

Sitting on the royal chair in the hall, Daenerys ordered the guard at the door to summon Jon to see her.

Jon, who was waiting outside the door, and Onion Knight Davos walked into the hall together.

[My nephew is here!] Drogon said with a little amusement as he looked at Jon who walked in cautiously.

Nephew?

Daenerys couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she heard Drogon's strange name for Jon.

However, when looking at Jon, Daenerys actually felt that he was very pleasing to the eye. It wasn't the kind of liking that made her like him, but the kind of liking that made her feel a sense of familiarity. Even she herself didn't understand why she had such a feeling when she saw Jon for the first time.

Seeing Daenerys sitting on the throne, Jon knew that she was the Targaryen girl that Maester Aemon was still thinking about when he was dying.

He didn't expect that this queen, who was younger than him, already had three giant dragons and an army of 100,000. He thought that his good status was not worth mentioning at all in the eyes of Daenerys.

Following behind Jon, Davos glanced around the hall and saw Shireen standing not far from Daenerys.

He was excited but at the same time he didn't understand why Shireen would appear in such an occasion. Could it be that Queen Daenerys knew he was coming and let Shireen enter the hall? Davos thought to himself.

Shireen also saw Davos, and her little face was full of excitement as she wanted to go over, but she knew that now was not the time to talk to Davos, so she held back and did not move.

Tyrion and Jon also saw each other and nodded.

"Before you is the Mother of Dragons, the Liberator, Queen of Meereen... Daenerys Targaryen, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms." Seeing Jon standing in the audience, Missandei introduced Daenerys to them.

Jon and Davos were a little confused when they heard Daenerys' long list of titles. They had never seen such a scene before.

The two looked at each other. Davos looked at Jon and thought for a moment before saying, "He is Jon Snow, Commander of the Night's Watch. I... I am Davos Seaworth, Hand of the King, Protector of the Seven Kingdoms, Stannis Baratheon."

"Jon, Commander of the Night's Watch, what brings you here?" Daenerys automatically ignored Davos, Stannis's Hand of the King, and asked Jon.

"Your Majesty, my brother Bran has returned from outside the Wall and brought news that the army of the White Walkers is about to reach the Wall."
