Liu Yuan's words were humorous, and Daenerys laughed. Jorah's face darkened; he hadn't expected Garin to reveal his past.
Sure enough, Liu Yuan continued, "Seriously, at the Lannisport tournament, when I heard you were fighting for love, I voluntarily withdrew. Afterwards, Garth told me that Lord Leyton had originally planned to arrange a marriage between Lynesse and me. I even gave you my potential wife, so you shouldn't treat me this way!"
Jorah Mormont's face flushed red, and the veins on his left hand, gripping the sword hilt, stood out. If the previous words were revealing his past, these were twisting the knife. His current state was all because of that woman. Lynesse had run off with a Lyseni merchant while he was away risking his life to earn money. She even became a concubine, which was utterly humiliating. He was the laughingstock of all Westeros nobility.
Daenerys couldn't bear it any longer and interjected to defuse the situation, "That's all in the past. Now, Ser Jorah serves me." Jorah looked at her with gratitude.
Liu Yuan smiled and said, "Indeed, he's now utterly devoted to you. Alright, enough said. The food is getting cold. Please, my two old friends, take your seats."
After they were seated, Liu Yuan gestured to the table and said, "I had some traditional Westerosi and Braavosi dishes prepared, as well as some dishes I developed when I was younger. You can try them."
Daenerys said reservedly, "Very delicious! Ser Garin, you're also a gourmet. May I ask why you invited me here this time?"
Liu Yuan said, "I was also a long-time friend of Drogo, and I am saddened by what happened to him. In your words, it was a matter of fate. I heard that you also lost your child, so I came to see if there's anything I can do to help you."
Daenerys' eyes reddened. "No, they didn't die. They just found another way to be with me."
Liu Yuan nodded. "I've heard about the three young dragons. But they are still small and cannot protect you."
"That's why I hope you can help me," Daenerys said, looking directly into his eyes.
Liu Yuan: "What do you want me to do? I've said before that I have no interest in your restoration efforts."
Daenerys said, "I need armies, ships, and a lot of money. Any promise my brother made, I can agree to, including myself!"
Jorah stood up excitedly and said, "You can't, Khaleesi!"
Daenerys rebuked, "Silence! Ser Jorah, if you interrupt me again, you will no longer follow me. Ser Garin, what is your decision?"
Liu Yuan said with a smile, "Princess Daenerys, I can provide you with the ships and money you need. But as I said before, the Iron Throne is of no concern to me. I have hundreds of thousands of people who rely on me for their livelihoods. They trust me and work for me, and I cannot ignore their safety, nor will I join your cause. Well, at least not now."
Daenerys looked disappointed. "That's a pity. Then let's talk about the aid you can provide!"
Liu Yuan held up a few fingers. "I will freely give you 200,000 Qarthian gold coins as your starting capital. Within five days, I can prepare thirty three-masted sailing ships for you and equip them with enough sailors. If you can build up your army in the future, I can also prepare enough weapons and equipment to arm five thousand people, which can be collected in several cities along the western coast of the Free Cities. Are you satisfied with this gift?"
Daenerys raised her glass and gently clinked it against Liu Yuan's. "I very much like this gift, and I thank you for your generosity, Ser Garin. I believe that in the near future, we will certainly fight side by side. Cheers!" She drank the wine in one gulp, and the crimson liquid dripped onto her full bosom.
Liu Yuan was amused. What kind of nonsense has this little girl been learning? She's starting to use seduction.
Jorah's face was ashen. He was just a subject, after all, and had no right to interfere in his ruler's private life. He didn't know why, but he felt like he had another hat on his head. Why did he say 'another'?
As the wine flowed, Daenerys' eyes became glazed. She said to Jorah, "Ser Jorah, you may return first. I need to discuss some details with Ser Garin."
Jorah's expression changed drastically, and he stood up quickly. "That's not appropriate, Khaleesi!"
Daenerys rebuked him unhappily, "Did you not hear my order? Leave!" It had to be said that this girl was becoming more and more forceful, with a commanding presence. Jorah reluctantly retreated, and the bloodrider, Jhogo, glanced at them before also retreating, closing the door behind him.
Daenerys took two steps forward and sat directly on Liu Yuan's lap. She picked up her glass, took a sip, and then kissed him directly. She passed the wine mouth to mouth, and when their lips met, Daenerys' body trembled, a thrill from the depths of her flesh.
Daenerys moaned in pleasure, and her body became even hotter. Liu Yuan naturally wouldn't be polite, and his hand naturally climbed to her peak. Daenerys now resembled a silver-haired, violet-eyed version of Monica Bellucci, and he was very interested. He really didn't know what she had been eating these past two years. Her figure was like it had been inflated. No longer as thin and weak as a kitten, she had become sexy and fiery. Hmm~ he couldn't grasp it with one hand, it was already a D!
After a long time, their lips separated, and Daenerys' eyes were glazed over, a glistening thread of saliva hanging between them. Daenerys whispered in his ear, "Carry me to the bedroom."
Liu Yuan revealed a wicked smile. A few years ago, when Daenerys hadn't fully developed, he really couldn't bring himself to do it. He reached out and supported her buttocks, holding Daenerys in his arms. He turned and went to the bedroom upstairs................................(Here omitted 50,000 words, really can't write, even if written can't be sent out.)
Harrenhal, Arya tossed and turned all night. She was really stupid. Jaqen was so powerful, and she wasted two precious opportunities on those insignificant people. If she could have killed Tywin, then this war would have been over. She beat her head in frustration.
Before she could find Jaqen, Tywin needed her again. This time, almost all the high-ranking officers were present.
Kevan said, "My Lord, the current situation is very unfavorable to us. According to reports from the south, Stannis is less than two days away from King's Landing, and Robb's army is still roaming in the Westerlands, and we have received many lords' requests for assistance. My suggestion is to notify Tyrion and Cersei to retreat from King's Landing. Only in this way can we preserve our strength."
Tywin said, "Have you considered the consequences? Once we abandon King's Landing, Joffrey's legitimacy to the throne will be questioned. We will no longer be qualified to command the lords of the Seven Kingdoms to fight for us, and we will also face Stannis gathering the lords from various places to jointly attack the Lannister family."
