Princess Daenerys, too many people have been cremated in White Sheep Town recently, and the timber supply is already somewhat scarce! Moreover, many smugglers have even started transporting corpses from all over the Seven Kingdoms for cremation to claim the silver deer reward.
Samwell complained to Daenerys with a frustrated look on his face,
"Princess Daenerys, you wouldn't believe that the highest cremation fee paid in a single day recently cost three gold dragons!"
"I'm afraid those smugglers have already smuggled all the corpses from the Seven Kingdoms, and it's obvious that many of them were dug out of graves and re-prepared!"
"The Seven Gods! These people really don't care about any bottom line for money."
After listening to Samwell's complaints, Daenerys directly asked Cameron,
"Among the slaves bought from Slaver's Bay this time, there should be quite a few who were priests, right?"
"Indeed, as you said, Princess Daenerys."
"However, they have all been arranged by Ser Samwell to help out at the White Sheep Town school!"
"Yes, Princess Daenerys!"
Upon mentioning this, Samwell immediately became energetic,
"As per your instructions, those scholars are busy compiling systematic teaching curricula and books. So, I temporarily arranged those literate priests to teach the children of White Sheep Town to read."
"Of course, those thousands of craftsmen have also all been arranged into various workshops in White Sheep Town!"
"Because the construction of the arena is basically finished, I have arranged for them to quickly build the Holy Flame Island dock."
"With the addition of these craftsmen, our construction speed has greatly increased. However, the stored Dragonstone has been completely used up."
Daenerys truly hadn't expected that the more talented people she had under her, the less time she seemed to have.
"It seems I need to find a way to make those dragons useful even when I'm not around."
"Fortunately, with the dragons' intelligence, they should obey the commands I give them."
"Then it's worth a try!"
"Someone, bring me a pen and paper!"
With an idea in mind, Daenerys immediately instructed the attendant serving her.
Once the pen and paper were ready, Daenerys immediately began drawing and sketching on the paper, and in a short while, a design blueprint for a large cremation platform was completed.
It was actually very simple, nothing more than a giant stone trough with many coffin-sized compartments. And at the bottom of the trough, a thick layer of steel plate was melted.
"Wait a moment, I will go to the stone factory first to produce the Dragonstone. Then you can have people quickly build this cremation platform in the crematorium plaza."
"For the steel needed, just throw the discarded steel into the stone trough. Tomorrow morning, I will have Dreamfire and them use Dragonflame to refine that steel into steel plates."
"Also, tomorrow morning, remember to bring all the priests and Dragon Guard apprentices to the cremation platform. I have something to arrange then."
"I will also train the giant dragons to eat there from now on."
"Yes, Princess Daenerys!"
After Daenerys listened to some of their reports and gave instructions, she left the administrative hall and hurried towards the stone factory.
The stonemasons, who had been frowning with worry because the Dragonstone was used up, immediately became excited when they saw Dreamfire's figure in the sky.
"Greetings, Princess Daenerys!"
Daenerys hadn't expected that after only a few days of her absence, the Dragonstone models in the market had increased several times over.
"Princess Daenerys, because the Dragonstone has been used up, we used this time to make some new models."
The head stonemason immediately walked over and reported to Daenerys,
"And next, your castle will be built, so many new designs are also needed. This is only a part of it!"
"Okay, I understand!"
Without wasting any more time, Daenerys quickly directed Dreamfire and Miraxis to spray Dragonflame together, and in just two quarters of an hour, all the materials in the models were melted.
Daenerys was quite surprised to find that the Dragonstone created by the fusion of Dreamfire's blue-black Dragonflame and Miraxis's pink Dragonflame was deep purple.
The stonemasons were even smiling so much their eyes couldn't open. It's important to know that due to the scarcity of purple dye, purple is also considered a symbol of nobility in this world.
If a castle built with these purple Dragonstone in the future, it would truly be a 'Purple Keep', absolutely dazzling the eyes of the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms.
By the time Daenerys finished her tasks, the dinner on Dragonstone had already begun. She quickly returned to her room, changed into a simple evening gown, put on the ruby necklace Rhaenyra had given her, and hurried to the banquet hall accompanied by her handmaidens.
At this time, the noble youths from the Seven Kingdoms had already arrived, all displaying their charm like peacocks in the venue.
And her sister Rhaenyra was also being complimented, surrounded like a star, with a satisfied expression. She was wearing the pink diamond jewelry set that Daenerys had sent her.
As Daenerys entered, everyone's gaze immediately fell upon her. Daenerys walked directly to Rhaenyra's side and praised her,
"Sister, you truly are radiant today!"
Today, Rhaenyra wore a complex-patterned purple velvet gown, adorned with golden Myr lace, with her bodice covered in shimmering pearls and jewels. On her hand, she not only wore the pink diamond ring Daenerys had given her, but also an exquisite gold ring, which she had been twirling around ever since Daenerys entered and attracted everyone's attention.
In terms of attire and appearance, Rhaenyra was indeed much more stunning than Daenerys. However, compared to the proud and radiant Rhaenyra, the strong and agile Daenerys was more favored by those noble youths.
Although the relationship between the two sisters had thawed, it was still difficult for them to truly become close. To Daenerys's praise, Rhaenyra could only respond very formally,
"You too, sister. Although today's dress is very simple, it looks very comfortable!"
Before those youths could gather around her, Daenerys, having greeted them, quickly walked towards her parents and sat down in front of the pregnant Emma.
After a period of treatment with Forest Child Herbs, Emma's physical condition had significantly improved. And the ruby belt Daenerys had given her was always kept by her side.
"Mother, how are you? How has your health been recently?"
Daenerys gently placed her hand on her mother's belly and asked softly.
Emma said with a satisfied expression,
"Hmm, I feel very good! Both the herbal remedies and this ruby belt you gave me have been very helpful!"
At this moment, Mond Hightower, dressed in knight's attire, came to Daenerys and spoke nervously,
"Princess Daenerys, I heard you like Valyria weapons, so I brought the Hightower Family's ancestral sword, 'Vigilance'."
As he spoke, he handed the precious sword, adorned only with a simple, rustic green leather scabbard, to Daenerys.
Making Daenerys couldn't help but ask in confusion,
"Ser Mond, are you showing this to me, or are you giving it to me?"
"Ah?!"
Mond Hightower was choked by Daenerys's words. However, he then blushed and said,
"If the Princess likes it, I am willing to offer it as a betrothal gift to Princess Daenerys!"
