To give his Great-grandfather Jaehaerys a grand display, the craftsmen of Daenerys's Holy Flame Island forged twelve Valyrian Steel Dragon Fang Broken Blades and a new valyrian steel sword, dark sister, from the shed teeth of Dreamfyre and scraps of sea dragon bones.
While observing the historical martial artists and knights through the Weirwood, Daenerys grew fond of the techniques and weapons of Symeon Star-Eyes.
Symeon was a knight who had lost his eyes and replaced them with sapphire stars, which is why he was later known as Symeon Star-Eyes.
He used a six-foot long staff that could extend blades from both ends. When fighting, he could spin the staff to cut down two people at once. Legend has it that he once visited Long Night Fort and saw two hellhounds fighting there.
In reality, they were just two banished members of the Westerford family from the Westerlands, whose family sigil was a hellhound. Their family sigil was a black hound on a blue field, and their family motto was "Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken."
The two who were fighting immediately stopped when they saw Symeon Star-Eyes, and spoke rudely to Symeon, ultimately perishing under Symeon's staff.
In fact, many stories in the Seven Kingdoms are embellished and far-fetched, with a lot of inaccuracies. However, after every major disaster, powerful magic users and magical creatures do appear.
During this period, Daenerys had Orn lead the craftsmen to create a Valyrian Steel staff, the Long Night Terminator, based on Symeon's weapon.
This weapon greatly compensated for Daenerys's physical strength and stature. After a month, she had already developed several of her own unique moves by referencing Symeon's techniques, many spearmen, and the spear techniques she had seen in her previous life.
After the naming day ceremony for the twins, the nobles gathered again at the Red Keep's Godswood for the subsequent banquet and King Jaehaerys's Valyrian Steel appreciation event.
In front of the sea dragon skull in the Godswood, three sets of Valyrian Steel armor, "blackflame," "Dreamfyre," and "Meraxes," and the new family swords, "dark sister" and "dark sister," along with twelve Valyrian Steel Dragon Fang Short Blades, were placed on exquisite gold-inlaid oak display stands. The caskets holding them were inlaid with various gems and lined with thick silk.
King Jaehaerys's health had improved significantly during this time due to Daenerys's return and the end of the Long Night. This excellent King of Human Longevity now had another achievement, ending the Long Night, and his prestige was no less than that of Aegon the Conqueror.
After all, the Long Night and Winter were disasters for all of Westeros, once again awakening people's memories of the darkest period in history. Although this time it only lasted three months, three months of heavy snow and darkness terrified everyone.
And during the Old King's reign, the number of Targaryen Family dragons also increased to a historical high. Even during the Ancient Valyria period, the family had never simultaneously possessed so many dragons.
Therefore, King Jaehaerys was undoubtedly the most outstanding king at present, and also the patriarch who brought the Targaryen Family to a new peak.
Although these dazzling achievements were brought by Daenerys, without the Old King's favor and support, Daenerys might not have had the opportunity to achieve these great feats.
Around the Valyrian Steel weapon display stand, high platforms were set up all around. Jaehaerys sat contentedly on the throne of the main viewing platform, with Daenerys and Rhaenyra holding their younger sisters on either side of their Great-grandfather.
Viserys, Aemma, and Daemon were seated at the long table below Daenerys. Princess Rhaenys, meanwhile, sat on the other side with the Velaryon entourage.
To the left and right were the various ducal families and their vassals, while other nobles sat at the long tables opposite the throne.
Although today's food and wine were very tempting, everyone's eyes were still drawn to the sea dragon skull, which was comparable to a large carriage, and the pile of enviable Valyrian Steel weapons.
"My lords, ladies~"
King Jaehaerys raised his golden cup and tapped it lightly a few times, and the scene immediately quieted down.
"It is a great pleasure for everyone to gather here today. Although the Long Night and Winter mercilessly ravaged the Seven Kingdoms for more than three months, it is precisely because of everyone's collective efforts that we were able to receive the favor of the Old and New Gods, and bring the sun back to us before causing greater disaster."
"So, let us toast to this great moment that we can experience together~"
"Cheers~"
"Of course, to end the Long Night and Winter, our eternal sunlight Princess Daenerys deserves the most credit. It was she who, with courage and wisdom, slew the sea dragon and brought sunlight back to the Seven Kingdoms."
"Moreover, Holy Flame Island unconditionally accepted refugees during the Long Night, and this generosity and compassion should be a model for all nobles! Let us toast to our Princess Daenerys~"
"Cheers~"
The cheers of the crowd at this moment were noticeably more enthusiastic, especially from the young noble masters, with the sound waves rising higher and higher.
Jaehaerys was very pleased with everyone's performance, and only after the cheers continued for a few minutes did he raise his hand to quiet everyone down.
"Therefore, I now officially name Daenerys Targaryen as Prince of Holy Flame Island and Guardian of Oldtown, and at the same time bestow Yangwu City and Oldtown upon her as her direct territories."
King Jaehaerys had not revealed a single word of this before, so not only everyone present but even Daenerys herself was greatly surprised. The scene immediately fell into silence.
"Our eternal sunlight~"
Benard Stark was the first to jump up from his seat, raising his fist and shouting loudly,
"Our eternal sunlight~"
Subsequently, House Manderly, House Tarth, Frey Family, the Amber Family of the North, the Mormont Family of Bear Island, Bolton Family, House Tyrell of The Reach, House Royce of the Vale, the Mooton family, House Stokeworth of King's Landing, and Rosby all immediately stood up and shouted,
"Our eternal sunlight~"
Following closely, the Seaworth family, Dalkin, and some families who had received Daenerys's favor in Oldtown also responded.
Princess Rhaenys glanced at Daenerys with interest, then raised her wine glass and stood up,
"To the Prince of Holy Flame~"
Next, the dukes of the Westerlands, Riverlands, and Stormlands all stood up.
King Jaehaerys then contentedly drained the dragonflame wine from his cup.
"Now, let me personally introduce to you the Targaryen Family's new Valyrian Steel armors and weapons."
"This armor is called blackflame..."
"Rhaenys, do you know what you are doing means?"
Sea Snake Corlys whispered discontentedly into his wife's ear.
"Of course!"
Princess Rhaenys, however, had a calm expression,
"Daenerys is the most outstanding Targaryen I have ever seen. If it is her, I am willing."
The Sea Snake said with a gloomy face,
"She is a princess, and she will eventually marry out. I am afraid that by then, it may not be a good thing for you Targaryen Family."
Princess Rhaenys turned a deaf ear to her husband's words, merely watching the performance of everyone present with cold eyes.
"Perhaps only a Targaryen can understand a Targaryen! Corliss, Daenerys is already far ahead of you. The North, the Vale, The Reach, and as for the Westerlands and Riverlands, she can win them over whenever she wants."
