Game of Thrones: The Red Dragon Lord
Chapter 179 Recruiting Davos
As soon as Tyrion left, Daenerys walked in from the side door.
She said to Gavin doubtfully: "Gavin, are you sure he can manage Reese well?"
Gavin nodded lightly and said, "It should be no problem. He has good political wisdom and management skills. We can't really let him go back. Do you plan to kill him? Or continue to imprison him?"
Daenerys shook her head and said: "I know who my father is and what he has done. I know the reason why the 'Mad King' got his name. I sometimes think that the source of all these disasters is to my father."
Gavin stroked Daenerys's silver hair and said softly: "It is said that when every Targaryen is born, the gods will toss a coin, one side is madness, the other side is greatness. Fortunately, my queen's coin , great and upward.”
Under the bright sunshine, the Belerys slowly approached Dragonstone. The gentle sea breeze blows by, bringing a faint salty smell.
Davos stood on the bow of the ship, staring at Dragonstone, which was getting closer and closer, with a lot of emotions in his heart.
Since he was knighted, he had spent far more time on Dragonstone than in his own lands.
He recalled every bit of time he had spent here, when Dragonstone was still Stannis' territory.
But now, this place has changed its owner and has become the territory of Gavin Belleris, and everything has become strange yet familiar.
"This island has witnessed too many ups and downs over the years." Davos said softly, with a hint of emotion in his voice, "Now, I am back, but everything is different."
Hassan walked up to Davos, patted him on the shoulder gently, and said: "Old man, don't be too sad. Times are constantly changing, and we all need to adapt to it. A few years ago, you would have believed in extinction. Will the dragon appear again?"
Davos nodded and said, "I understand, Commander Hassan. I just felt a little emotional for a moment."
Hassan smiled and comforted: "I can understand your feelings. Don't worry, you have the ability. Your Majesty will accept you and will reuse you."
Davos looked at the towering castle on the island and said, "I hope so. Your Majesty may not like me as a smuggler. I only hope to do what I can for Lord Stannis's family."
After hearing this, Hassan smiled and said: "Don't worry, your Majesty and the Queen are kind people. I know them well. They will treat Miss Shireen and Mrs. Celis kindly."
Davos sighed and said: "I hope so. The death of Lord Stannis is a heavy blow to me. I once swore to be loyal to him, but now..."
Hassan comforted: "It's not your fault, old man. Destiny is always full of variables, which we cannot predict and control."
Davos was silent for a moment, and then said firmly: "No matter what, I will try my best to do my part and serve His Majesty."
Hassan nodded and said: "I believe you, Davos. You are a trustworthy person."
The Belerys finally docked safely, and Davos and Hassan disembarked.
Davos took a deep breath, feeling the familiar atmosphere of Dragonstone, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.
"Let's go, I will take you to see His Majesty." Hassan said.
Davos followed Hassan towards the castle. His heart was full of expectations, but also a little uneasy.
Hassan took Davos outside Gavin's study. Hassan asked him to wait for a moment, then went into the study alone to report to Gavin.
Gavin sat at the desk, listening intently to Hassan's story, nodding slightly to express his approval.
Gavin knew Davos relatively well in his previous life. As a supporting character who survived to the end, his role was impressive. Gavin knew that Davos was tough and loyal, and it would be useless for him to take such a person under his command. No pressure.
As for abilities, Gavin only knew that he had been a smuggler and that he sailed a good boat, that's all. On the contrary, his confidant Hassan has a good relationship with the other party and understands the other party's abilities and advantages better than Gavin.
"You took the initiative to win over him. Do you think there is anything special about him?" Gavin asked.
Hassan replied: "Your Majesty, I have worked with Davos to suppress pirates. He is an experienced fleet commander and knows the situation in the nearby waters very well. His smuggling experience made him far better than us. "Knowing the movements of those smuggling ships would be very useful for tax collection purposes, and I think he can be used to our advantage."
Gavin thought for a moment and said: "Okay, I agree with you taking him to meet Stannis's family. However, I want to meet him first."
Hassan said: "Yes, Your Majesty. I will bring him to you now."
After a while, the door was pushed open again, and Hassan walked in with Davos.
Hassan saluted respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, I have brought Ser Davos."
Gavin raised his head, looked at Davos, smiled and said, "Welcome, Sir Davos."
Davos quickly saluted and said: "Good day, Your Majesty, thank you for your visit."
Gavin pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Sit down and talk."
Davos sat down carefully, while Hassan stood respectfully aside.
Gavin looked at Davos and said, "Hasan told me about you. I appreciate your loyalty to Stannis."
Davos said gratefully: "Your Majesty, Lord Stannis has been kind to me, and I deserve it."
Gavin nodded slightly and said, "I can understand your feelings, which also proves your character. However, now that Stannis is dead, are you willing to serve me?"
Davos said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, I am willing to serve you. I have heard of your reputation for a long time. It is my honor to serve you."
Gavin smiled with satisfaction and said, "Very good, I am very happy that you can make such a decision. I accept your loyalty. Davos, I want to know, what do you think of the current situation?"
Davos thought for a moment and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, at present King's Landing is controlled by the Lannister family, and it has become the focus of competition among various forces. No matter who wins in the end, they will be restricted by you.
King's Landing has a population of hundreds of thousands, and its food mainly depends on sea transportation. Your Majesty currently has a firm control over the throat, and the Stepstone Islands fleet can easily land anywhere on the west coast of Westeros.
This has caused many nobles whose territories are close to the sea and whose territories are islands to return to their respective territories, such as the Earl of Tidehead Island - Montford Velaryon. At present, no force on the sea can pose a threat to us. "
