"Who? Who did you say came back?"
King Jaehaerys's increasingly cloudy eyes, which had been lost in thought, finally lit up again.
Audrey was already crying tears of joy.
"Your Majesty, it's Princess Daenerys, Princess Daenerys has returned! Come quickly, the Long Night and Winter are over, the sun has risen again."
King Jaehaerys, sweeping away his previous despondency, quickly went to the balcony, the long-awaited sunlight almost blinding him.
"Awooo~"
Dreamfyre, clutching the giant sea dragon's head, circled King's Landing triumphantly. Her deep blue scales shimmered in the midday sun, so brilliant that one dared not look directly at them. To allow people to clearly see the sea dragon's head, Dreamfyre flew very low, and the air currents stirred by her Dragon Wings caused the pedestrians on the streets to sway unsteadily.
Meraxes, who followed closely behind her, was also considered a young dragon in terms of size, and her pinkish-purple scales were even more dazzling under the sunlight.
"Hiss~"
Urax, who had grown to several meters in size, with reddish-brown scales shimmering with golden luster, excitedly pounced towards Daenerys. He finally landed directly on Dreamfyre's back, affectionately rubbing against Daenerys.
Feeling the long-awaited sunlight, the residents of King's Landing, who had been hiding in their homes trembling for the past few months, all ran into the streets like mad. The sunlight on them was so warm, and they danced and cheered to their heart's content, but almost everyone had tears in their eyes at this moment.
"Sunlight, it's sunlight!"
Daenerys had Dreamfyre lower her altitude and shouted loudly to the people below,
"The Long Night and Winter are over~"
"The evil dragon that brought the Long Night and Winter has been slain by me, and the Seven Kingdoms will continue to bask in the beautiful scene of a long summer~"
"The Targaryen Family's dragons will be your strongest protectors~"
"All evil forces will be crushed before the Dragonflame of the dragons~"
Daenerys, riding Dreamfyre, shouted repeatedly in the sky above King's Landing. Everyone clearly saw the giant sea dragon's head that Dreamfyre was clutching.
"Oh my goodness, look, that evil dragon's head is even bigger than a carriage!"
"Of course, otherwise how could it have brought the Long Night and Winter?"
"Fortunately, we have the protection of the Targaryen Family's dragons. It is said that the Long Night in history lasted for a century, and in the end, the great hero Azor Ahai wielded Lightbringer to save the entire world."
"Yes, Princess Daenerys is our eternal sunlight, the terminator of the Long Night and Winter!"
"Eternal sunlight!"
"Terminator of the Long Night and Winter!"
"Long live Princess Daenerys!"
"Long live Princess Daenerys!"
The entire King's Landing completely erupted, and everyone was shouting Daenerys's name loudly.
From then on, Daenerys also gained quite a resounding title: Eternal sunlight, Terminator of the Long Night and Winter.
In Dragon Kiss Garden on Silk Street, a sleepy Daemon, carrying dark sister, also followed the crowd and looked up at the sky. The bright sunlight made it difficult for him to open his eyes.
"Finally returned?"
"Damn small bitch! You managed to pull it off again!"
Daemon was as vulgar as ever, but the smile on his face could not be hidden.
Daenerys rode her dragon over King's Landing for more than an hour before flying back to the Red Keep under the reluctant gazes of the crowd.
She had Dreamfyre land directly in the Godswood. Then she found an empty space and had Dreamfyre quickly dig a large pit with her sharp dragon claws.
At this moment, King Jaehaerys, accompanied by guards and handmaidens, also arrived at the Godswood.
"Daenerys~"
The Old King, who had been wise and mighty his entire life, choked up when he saw Daenerys's slender back, saying,
"My Daenerys~"
Without many words, the old man pulled Daenerys into his arms, hugging her tightly and repeatedly murmuring,
"That's right, it's Daenerys, it's my little Daenerys…"
Who knows how long passed, until Daenerys felt her tears had soaked her Great-grandfather's clothes, she then apologized sheepishly,
"I'm sorry, Great-grandfather. I made you worry."
At this moment, Daenerys's heart was filled with a bittersweet feeling. In both her past and present lives, she had never truly experienced the tenderness of family. So she had put all her energy into so-called "important matters," which was why she had hidden herself away on Dragonstone after successfully riding a dragon.
In the past six months, Daniella had deeply felt the selfless love of her parents and Great-grandfather for her.
"No, child! It's good to have you back, it's good to have you back!"
King Jaehaerys's emotions had also stabilized at this point, and he pointed to the sea dragon's head nearby.
"Is this sea dragon the culprit behind this Long Night and Winter?!"
"Yes, Great-grandfather!"
Daenerys then briefly recounted how she encountered and slew the sea dragon, and also how she was taken to the Everwinter Heart dream by the Three-Eyed Raven. However, she did not mention the flame between her eyebrows, but instead boasted that she had wielded the dawn sword to slay the Others, thus ending the Long Night and Winter.
"So the legendary Others really exist, and it was truly they who brought the Long Night and Winter."
King Jaehaerys did not doubt Daenerys's words, because the sea dragon's head before them was the best proof. And it was precisely Daenerys's return that brought sunlight back to Westeros.
Whatever the true facts were, the Targaryen Family needed such a legendary story. It was their princess who slew the evil dragon and ended the Long Night and Winter. Their House Targaryen was the guardian of the entire Westeros.
Using this opportunity, they could not only greatly enhance the Targaryen Royal Family's status and prestige in the Seven Kingdoms, but also transform the public's fear and apprehension of dragons into awe and worship.
"Are you going to bury this sea dragon's head? What a waste! We should make it into a specimen and display it in the Great Square, so everyone can witness this historic great event together."
It was clear that King Jaehaerys intended to make a big deal out of this matter.
"Great-grandfather, haven't all the people of King's Landing already witnessed it?"
Daenerys quickly explained,
"Do you see that Weirwood on the sea dragon's head? This Weirwood, after mutation, has great benefits for the growth of dragons. If it is planted in the Godswood, it can better protect the Targaryen Royal Family."
"We can expose a part of the sea dragon's head. This way, the nobles who come to observe can still see it."
Hearing Daenerys say this, the Old King nodded and teased,
"Alright then! You never disappoint when it comes to maximizing benefits!"
With the assistance of the Kingsguard, and with Dreamfyre personally doing the work, the mutated Weirwood was quickly successfully planted. They even deliberately left a small portion of the sea dragon's head exposed above the ground.
