After Rhaenyra obtained the dark sister, her popularity among the various nobles present immediately surged.
After all, the various nobles were quite familiar with this Targaryen Family's ancestral sword.
Therefore, those great nobles who knew that their children were not worthy of Daenerys, one after another, set their sights on Rhaenyra again, and quickly gathered around her.
Many great nobles spared no effort to recommend their daughters to Rhaenyra.
After all, unlike Daenerys, Rhaenyra currently had almost no female companions by her side.
This enthusiasm immediately made Rhaenyra feel a bit dizzy, but fortunately, her mother Aemma appeared by her side in time to help her fend off the crowd.
Even so, the enthusiasm of those great nobles remained undiminished.
Because according to the tradition of the Seven Kingdoms, Viserys was the most hopeful candidate to become the next Crown Prince.
If Viserys inherited the throne, and he had no male heirs, then Rhaenyra, as the eldest daughter, would actually be of higher status than Daenerys.
As expected by everyone, King Jaehaerys directly bestowed the blackflame sword and blackflame armor upon Viserys.
This was almost equivalent to announcing to the world that Viserys had become the new Crown Prince.
The reason King Jaehaerys did not directly enthrone Viserys was also to give him some more time to consolidate his power.
And this almost explicit action would certainly make those hidden forces begin to become restless, taking advantage of his presence to uproot them.
Therefore, although King Jaehaerys was old, the sharp sword in his hand was still very keen!
The facts were just as he had predicted; when the blackflame sword and darkfyre armor were bestowed, those great nobles who had long secretly colluded with House Velaryon immediately looked disheartened.
Especially Beaumont, the Duke of Stormlands, and his eldest son Boros, who almost raised objections on the spot.
But when they saw Daemon holding dark sister, patrolling the crowd like a wolf looking back and an eagle watching, the two of them meekly sat back down in their seats.
After all, they were too clear about Daemon's temperament; now that he had the Valyrian sword dark sister in hand, they had no doubt that Daemon would directly cut off their heads if anyone dared to raise objections at this critical moment.
However, those great nobles were unwilling to let their early investments go to waste, so taking advantage of the continuous days of gatherings, all sorts of monsters and demons began to make their moves.
Because it was a rare gathering of everyone in King's Landing, the royal banquet lasted for seven days.
This indeed gave them a very good opportunity.
And during these seven days, Vada and Meggie, the sisters, led the female warriors and completely adapted to their new armor.
The sight of this group of beautiful women training every day truly amazed the young knights in the Red Keep.
Therefore, their training in the training grounds also became more diligent.
During this period, Marquis Frey also met Daenerys once through Vada.
Daenerys was very satisfied with his performance in the Fire Burial Tower quota auction.
So she accepted the 200 family elites presented by Marquis Frey and directly assigned them to Harold for command.
And she had Master Orn's blacksmith shop rush out a batch of knight armor and weapons for them.
Although the men of the Frey Family were not very handsome, clothes make the man; dressed in neat and exquisite armor, these 200 men indeed looked like an elite force.
Now the Frey Family had clearly become a favored person in front of Daenerys, and they did not try to hide it.
After all, the fact that Vada was highly valued by Daenerys was no secret.
It was rare in the history of the Frey Family to have such a glorious event, so they naturally did not intend to act low-key.
After all, among most ancient nobles, the Frey Family was still regarded as upstarts.
The depression that had been suppressed in the family for hundreds of years finally had a chance to be released, and they naturally felt lighter even when walking.
And through Dona's birds, every move of the various nobles could not escape Daenerys's surveillance.
Unexpectedly, even though Prince Viserys's lineage now had an absolute advantage, those nobles who supported House Velaryon still had not given up.
And they had also contacted the foolish Reynes Family and Stark, and secretly supported many desperate men, preparing to teach the Frey Family a lesson, whom they believed had lost face by fawning over Daenerys.
However, the schemes among the great nobles of the South had little to do with the great nobles of the North.
After Duke Stark led the northern nobles to enjoy seven days of good food and drink in King's Landing, he reluctantly returned home.
But Benard refused to go back with him no matter what, shamelessly insisting on staying by Daenerys's side.
"Your Royal Highness, although I cannot become your sworn knight yet, surely I can be a cupbearer?"
"If being a cupbearer isn't allowed, then I'll just be in charge of feeding your Lizard Lions! Don't you have a group of Peeling Knights under you? Then I'll be a Lion-Feeding Knight!"
If Benard were just a noble's second son like others, Daenerys would naturally be very willing to keep him by her side.
But he had not hidden his feelings for Daenerys at all, so she would certainly not keep him by her side.
But after all, their friendship was quite good, so Daenerys recommended him to her father, Prince Viserys, to be a cupbearer.
Although this was somewhat different from Benard's expectations, he was still happy to agree, as it brought him much closer to Daenerys.
Duke Ellard could only reluctantly let him stay, but repeatedly instructed him:
"Wolves that travel south rarely have good outcomes.
Remember, the lone wolf dies, the pack survives; Benard, never forget who you are!"
However, it was clear that Benard could not yet grasp the profound meaning of Duke Ellard's words, and perhaps when he truly understood, it would also be the time of his regret.
For the Fire Burial Tower quota, the Reynes Family of the Westerlands and House Tyrell of Highgarden had spent a huge amount.
So, once the quota was set, Samwell immediately returned to Holy Flame Island to begin arranging this matter.
Fortunately, the temple priests and Fire Burial Tower guards were already in place; upon his return, he directly selected 30 people from the existing temple priests, with 10 people per group.
The Fire Burial Tower guards consisted of 2 Peeling Knights leading 10 Dragon Guards, twenty Dragon Guards, and two hundred warriors.
This force was already capable of guarding a small castle, and with the presence of the dragon's aura at the Fire Burial Tower, it was believed that there would be no safety issues.
So, after everything was prepared, three well-equipped three-masted sailing ships departed from Holy Flame Island, heading towards their destination.
At the same time, among the various nobles in King's Landing, a sinister alliance quietly formed during their social interactions.
A conspiracy, seemingly intended to teach the Frey Family a lesson, was thus slowly set in motion.
However, in reality, it was unknown how many hidden hands were preparing to slowly spread this turmoil to Prince Viserys's lineage.
