"It's a princess!"
The Herbalist excitedly held the baby in front of everyone.
This Children of the Forest, obsessed with Herbalist, had now become the most skilled midwife on Holy Flame Island and Dragonstone.
Because of her presence, the survival rate of infants on both islands had soared.
Maester Tigris, whose medical skills were already good, also learned a lot about pharmacy from her, and his medical skills became even more refined; the two even became friends despite their age difference.
Viserys took the swaddled baby, his eyes showing no disappointment that it wasn't a son.
"Let me see our Visenya, hmm! As beautiful as her two elder sisters."
Visenya was the name Viserys and Aemma had already agreed upon.
If it was a son this time, he would be named Baelon; if it was a daughter, she would be named Visenya.
Visenya also had silver hair and purple eyes, a pure-blooded Targaryen princess, and was much healthier than in history.
Daenerys quickly took out a strung-up string of beads from her close-fitting pouch and hung it around her neck.
This was made from the precious pearls formed from the eyes of the sea dragon she had slain and large cherry-sized magic gems.
Because of the time constraint, the craftsmanship wasn't exquisite, but the magic was rich, making it very suitable for nourishing a newborn like Visenya, hoping to change her fate and prevent her from dying young.
"This blue bead is quite special, what material is it made of?"
Rhaenyra asked curiously.
"This is the eyeball of the sea dragon I slew.
If elder sister likes it, I'll give you the other one."
Rhaenyra shook her head repeatedly upon hearing this.
"No, no!"
"It sounds quite terrifying to think about.
I'll go back to King's Landing tomorrow to see that sea dragon's skull.
I'm really curious what kind of existence it was that could cause such a Long Night and Winter."
"Sigh, if only I could encounter a sea dragon too, my Syrax is much more powerful than before, surely I could slay an evil dragon.
It seems I need to go explore the Sunset Sea when I have nothing to do."
Uh?!
Well, as long as you're happy.
Although Aemma's delivery this time wasn't very smooth, it was ultimately safe, and Visenya's physical condition was also normal.
Moreover, with the care of the Herbalist and Maester Tigris, plus the nourishment from the sea dragon pearl provided by Daenerys, Visenya's fate should change.
To avoid disturbing Aemma's rest, Daenerys and the others left Aemma's room after watching the Herbalist clean the baby.
At Rhaenyra's repeated insistence, Daenerys again recounted the detailed, processed account of slaying the sea dragon to everyone.
"News from Dragon Kiss Garden says that Miss Janna has also given birth, it's a girl."
Annie suddenly walked up to Daenerys and whispered.
"What a coincidence!"
Daenerys couldn't help but secretly marvel at how well Janna gave birth.
So she told her father about Janna's situation, and of course, Rhaenyra was also present.
"You mean to raise Daemon's bastard daughter as Visenya's twin sister?!"
Viserys always valued family ties, and he wasn't opposed to this matter.
However, this matter, after all, did not conform to the traditions of Westeros, and the identity of a royal princess was precious, so it was not a small matter.
Because the Dragon Eggs prepared for Visenya had already been stolen, Viserys brought another Dragon Eggs when he returned to Dragonstone this time.
If this girl were to be raised as Visenya's twin sister, then another Dragon Eggs would inevitably have to be prepared for her.
No bastard of the Targaryen Family had ever ridden a dragon before.
So Viserys was also very conflicted.
"She is Uncle Daemon's daughter, she is our sister by birth.
If she can grow up with Visenya, they can keep each other company."
Rhaenyra was very willing to do this, because she and Daenerys were twins.
Although they weren't very close when they were young, it was only after Daenerys's disappearance this time that she realized how much she cared about this sister.
She had countless times secretly regretted and cried alone, feeling that as an elder sister, she had never truly cared for this younger sister.
So she now desperately wanted a new pair of twin sisters to grow up by her side, so she could transfer the sisterly love she had never shown to Daenerys to these two new sisters.
Finally, Viserys waited until Aemma woke up and discussed it with her, only agreeing to the matter after Aemma's persuasion.
So that night, ravens from Dragonstone carried the news to the Seven Kingdoms that Prince Viserys and Queen Aemma had again given birth to a pair of twin daughters.
And Janna's daughter, Rhaenys, was quietly brought from Dragon Kiss Garden to Dragonstone and raised alongside Visenya.
The new Dragon Eggs Viserys chose for Visenya was a white one with silver spiral patterns.
After the warm Dragon Eggs were placed in Visenya's cradle, Daenerys could clearly feel their auras merging.
Early the next morning, Rhaenyra rode Syrax away from Dragonstone, first to observe the sea dragon's skull in the Godswood, and second to choose a Dragon Eggs for Rhaenys and bring it back.
Only after seeing that her mother and sister were both safe did Daenerys finally feel at ease.
Early the next morning, accompanied by Annie and Gariel, she came to White Sheep Town for an inspection.
Daenerys hadn't expected that during her disappearance, when the Long Night and Winter descended simultaneously, Samwell and Mederick not only maintained the stability of Holy Flame Island but also directly increased the population to one hundred thousand.
Moreover, almost all the arable land on Holy Flame Island had been developed, and the Holy Flame Fortress and Holy Flame Island dock were progressing rapidly.
"Samwell, Mederick, you truly surprise me!
During the simultaneous arrival of the Long Night and Winter, you managed Holy Flame Island so well, you've truly worked hard!"
Samwell was naturally very happy to be praised by his superior, but he still reported, "Actually, this is all because Princess Daenerys laid a good foundation.
For the past few years, Holy Flame Island has been very careful about food reserves, and after the introduction of dragonflame wine and dragon porcelain this year, a large amount of cash was accumulated.
That's why we dared to continue implementing Princess Daenerys's policies, doing our best to take in and settle the refugees who came here attracted by our reputation."
"We were also quite unsure, at the time we only prepared to last for at most two years.
We didn't expect Princess Daenerys to slay the evil dragon within three months, ending the Long Night and Winter early."
Mederick was the happiest that Daenerys was able to return safely.
When the Long Night and Winter came, Mederick's younger brother Torren immediately rushed back to White Harbor with the House Manderly.
Regardless of the outcome of this Long Night, he wanted to be with his family.
Mederick, however, firmly chose to stay.
He knew that with his current status, he could no longer aspire to Princess Daenerys.
But as long as he could stay by Princess Daenerys's side and help her manage the affairs of her territory, Mederick was already content.
Everyone's adherence to love is different, and Mederick chose protection and companionship.
From Princess Daniella, he saw a different kind of noble lord.
Under Princess Daniella's governance, the people of Holy Flame Island were truly happy and prosperous.
It was precisely because of Princess Daniella's protection that the people of Holy Flame Island now felt very proud when they went out.
Mederick hoped to use his intelligence as much as possible to assist Princess Daniella, allowing her ideals to take root and blossom into beautiful flowers in more lands.
