Game Of Thrones: The God-Emperor of Planetos-Chapter 140 - Home sweet home (I)
Chapter 140 - 140 - Home sweet home (I)
"When you have a chance to rise, don't hesitate. Fight tooth and nail for that chance, because something like that can change the fate of someone and an entire family." - Aurane Waters, Bastard of Driftmark.
----------
Blackwater Bay - Dragonstone Island
Looking at the letter delivered by the Emperor's Daughters, Daenerys displayed a stunned expression. Not in her wildest dreams would Robert leave King's Landing for Casterly Rock. After all, it was the capital of the Seven Kingdoms!
It wasn't just any city. Yet here she was, faced with the information that Robert had moved the entire Court to Casterly Rock. After a moment's reflection, Daenerys understood why Robert had made this decision.
Dragons...
With dragons, the city wall would be a mere obstacle to overcome. If she took drastic action, she could go straight to the Red Keep and set the whole castle on fire at once. Although Balerion's flames couldn't melt the castle, she knew that, in fires, it wasn't the fire that killed the most, but the smoke.
She could imagine the apocalyptic scenario that the Red Fortress would become if she did such a thing. Those who remained inside the castle would die of suffocation from the smoke, and those who came out would perish in the face of Balerion's flames.
Honestly, for the first time, Daenerys realized how fortunate she was to possess a being capable of destroying cities in a matter of minutes. Without the Special Ships that Aenar had mentioned to her, there was no way humans could stop a dragon.
Putting aside the main letter, Daenerys picked up the second, which explained the situation in the city. As she read the contents, her face paled at the cruelty described in the letters.
Robert and Tywin were indeed monsters in Daenerys' eyes. No human being with a shred of humanity could commit something so despicable, insane and cruel as to turn a city with half a million inhabitants into a hell on earth.
Looking at Merik, a Sardaukar guarding the entrance to Dragonstone's Throne Hall, Daenerys asked: "Merik, how long would it take to summon the entire fleet and set sail for King's Landing?"
Merik was shocked by the question. The Queen was planning to attack King's Landing? In his eyes, it was a very rash move, especially considering the city walls and the four or five thousand Golden Robes protecting it. Even with a dragon, the casualties could be high.
If it had been the king's dragon, Merik wouldn't have been so worried. However, he had seen the Queen's dragon. The dragon called Balerion was still far from reaching his peak; he was still just a child.
"Give the letters to Merik." Noticing his hesitation, Daenerys simply ordered the spy from the Emperor's Daughters to deliver the letters to Merik.
The woman kneeling before the throne didn't hesitate and handed the letter to Sardaukar, even though it was against the organization's rules, since only Queen Daenerys and the King were allowed to read information related to the Emperor's Daughters.
Merik looked at the letter in his hand and, the more he read the contents, the more his face showed shock at the information.
As one of the first Sardaukar trained by Titus, he knew that the information in that letter was intended only for the Son of Light. However, when he found out what Robert had done, not even the rigorous training he had received could contain the smile that appeared beneath his golden helmet.
"Your Grace, we urgently need to get to King's Landing. The situation must be extremely chaotic. Besides, with this High Sparrow, we need to get there as quickly as possible to stop the Seven's doctrine spreading among the people." Merik gave his opinion without hesitation. As captain of the Sardaukar, he had been trained in the arts of strategy and knew that this was a golden opportunity.
Not only to recover the Royal Capital, but also to spread the Emperor's faith among those in need at that moment.
"I will immediately order ravens to be sent to the vassals. We'll be able to leave in less than two days." Merik spoke with a respectful tone. "If the Queen wishes, we can just wait for the Velaryon Fleet and leave for King's Landing. With fifteen hundred Sardaukar and the men of House Velaryon, we can control the city."
Daenerys made her decision after a short moment. If there was one thing she wasn't, it was indecisive.
"Summon only House Velaryon and we'll leave for King's Landing as soon as they arrive." Daenerys regretted sending all the vassals back after the vassalage ceremony. Had she known this would happen, she would have kept them all in Dragonstone, instead of ordering them to protect and guard Blackwater Bay against a possible surprise attack.
"Send for Aurane Waters. I want to ask his opinion." Daenerys remembered that the bastard of House Velaryon was still on Dragonstone and ordered a servant to summon him to the Throne Room immediately.
She was not a strategist, nor had she been trained to be one. Her only advantage at that moment was that she owned a dragon.
A few minutes later, when Aurane arrived at the Throne Room, Daenerys noticed that his clothes were wrinkled and his face covered in sweat. She realized that she had interrupted his moment of pleasure with some servant, but she didn't care and was direct:
"Robert abandoned King's Landing and moved the Kingdom's Capital to Casterly Rock. The city is currently under the control of the fanatics of the Faith of the Seven, led by a man who calls himself High Sparrow." Daenerys spoke with a calm but slightly excited tone.
How could she not be excited? If King's Landing was retaken before the war even began, half of the victory would already be guaranteed. Once Robert had left King's Landing, she was sure he would never return. Her husband would make sure that didn't happen.
Aurane opened his mouth in shock when he heard the beautiful queen's words. He couldn't help but admire Robert's determination. If it were him, he would never consider leaving the Kingdom's capital, even if it were in danger.
However, it wasn't Daenerys who was happiest about this situation, but Aurane himself. He finally saw a chance to gain glory and merit in the war. It was the perfect opportunity to win a noble title and, who knows, even a fiefdom!
So, in terms of happiness, Aurane was infinitely more excited than Daenerys herself. As for the man called High Sparrow, he didn't care. Anyone who stood against him at that moment would die an extremely painful death.
No one could stop him from becoming a nobleman!
"My brother has left a hundred men to help secure the island. I'll summon them immediately and be ready to leave at any moment." Aurane patted his chest and spoke with a calm, confident tone. At that moment, he really wanted to buy Robert a drink.
Daenerys nodded. She only hoped that Monford Velaryon would arrive soon so that they could leave for King's Landing as soon as possible.
When Aurane left, Daenerys closed her eyes, standing alone in the Throne Room. She was about to attract Aenar's attention. And how would she do that? Simply by calling his name!
She knew that her husband was getting stronger and stronger and gradually ceasing to be human, and Aenar had never hidden his powers from her.

Aenar, who was about to march towards Twins, looked in a certain direction when he felt someone calling him. If it had been something trivial, he wouldn't have paid any attention, but the person who pronounced his name had a blood tie to him. That caught his attention.
Looking in the direction the call was coming from, Aenar knew immediately who was summoning him. He didn't hesitate to connect his mind to Daenerys'.

Opening his eyes, Aenar saw himself on Dragonstone and stared at the young woman sitting on the black stone throne in front of him. He smiled. Daenerys hadn't grown much in the year and a half he hadn't seen her.
As if sensing his arrival, Daenerys opened her eyes and looked at the incomparably tall young man before her in surprise.
Her first thought on seeing Aenar's size was whether her small body could really withstand a night of passion with her husband.
Aenar couldn't help but twitch his lips as he read her thoughts. Daenerys really couldn't hide what was going through her mind.
"It's been a while, Daenerys." Despite what he was feeling, Aenar greeted her with a kind look.
