Game of Thrones: The Red Dragon Lord.

Chapter 46 Obtaining the Development Order
As Hassan left, Vilas couldn't help but exclaimed: "I said Gavin was a talent! We should have kept him in the High Court at all costs."

Olenna first glanced at Willas who was shouting and ignored him, then turned her gaze to Margaery who was too shocked to speak, gently stroked her hair, and said softly: "It seems that I, the pearl of Highgarden, have a good eye."

Margaret had recovered from her shock by this time. She looked at Olenna beside her, hugged her arm coquettishly and asked, "Grandma, do you think we should agree?"

After hearing this, Olenna smiled and said, "Agree, why agree? Child, if you only pay a piece of paper, you can get the support of a fleet and the tax revenue of a territory. There is no better deal in the world than this."

Then, Olenna added, "But this boy is very cunning. He obviously doesn't want to tie himself to the Tyrell family's chariot."

Willas next to him interrupted and said, "Why don't I go to the Stepstone Islands? I got along very well with Gavin before. Maybe I can get him to be completely under the High Court?"

After hearing what Willas said, Lady Olenna held her head with both hands and said helplessly: "Oh, my self-conceited grandson, do you know how many warships the Redwyne family fleet has? Less than 50. The entire royal fleet has only 110 ships, and that kid has a full 70. This means that even without this piece of paper, he still controls the Stepstones. He wants this piece of paper just to avoid others from causing him some legal trouble."

After that, Olenna no longer paid attention to Willas, but stroked Margaery's forehead and said, "At least, you are the one who canonized him, so just do as he asks. Your father is not here, so you can sign the excommunication order for him in your father's name and do as he asks."

Although his heart was filled with anxiety and worry, it was clear that this had nothing to do with Hassan's stomach. He had already been hungry, and now he ate the food in front of him with relish. He grabbed a piece of bread with one hand and took a big bite, not caring about the crumbs falling from his mouth; with the other hand, he kept putting pieces of meat into his mouth, his cheeks puffed up like a squirrel, eating with relish.

At this moment, the waiter who had just brought him here came back and told him that Miss Margery wanted to see him. Without caring about the food in his hand, Hassan wiped his mouth and followed the waiter impatiently.

Along the way, Hassan's heart was in his throat again, and he kept wondering in his mind whether it was good news or bad news. He unconsciously quickened his pace, as if he could know the answer faster this way.

Hassan came to the pavilion again. Margaret handed him a rolled parchment with a smile. Hassan took it and opened it eagerly. It said:

To the gallant knight Gavin Belleris:

In the name of Mace Tyrell, Lord Magister of the Reach, Lord of Highgarden, and Warden of the South, I hereby grant to my daughter Margaery Tyrell the title of Lord Guardian, Gawain Bellerys.

I hope that you will go to the unowned land outside the Seven Kingdoms with a fearless spirit to open up the land, wipe out all the bandits and robbers there, and for the benefit and glory of the Seven Kingdoms, open up new lands and create unprecedented achievements.

After the expansion, you only need to fulfill your duty to protect my daughter Margaery Tyrell. But you need to pay taxes to the High Court regularly.

The territories acquired after the development will become the hereditary territory of the Belleris family, passed down forever to their descendants, from generation to generation. Once this order is issued, it will serve as an ironclad proof, and everyone should obey it.

Hassan looked at the parchment in his hand with great excitement. When he saw the date was more than three months ago, he was even more excited. With this piece of paper, all the actions of the owner were in compliance with the laws of Westeros, and at least there would be less trouble from Dorne.

Hassan carefully rolled up the paper and tied it up, then took out a round bamboo tube specially used to hold it and put it carefully inside.

After seeing Hassan put away his things, Margaret asked Hassan again: "Can you tell me what happened when Gavin arrived at the Stepstone Islands? How did you two meet?"

After hearing Margaery's question, Hassan said hastily, "Yes, of course, Miss. When I first met the master, it was in Old Town. At that time, he was on my ship, planning to travel to Essos."

Hassan then told her what happened after he met Gavin. He said that Gavin was held hostage by pirates on his ship and forced to Shipwreck Bay. He also talked about how Gavin cleverly escaped from their control and how bravely he was. He conquered the entire Shipwreck Bay single-handedly and beheaded the Black Shark "Earl" with one sword. He also told Margaery how Gavin used the information gap to quickly annex the pirates outside and seize Bloodstone Island.

Margaret listened to these thrilling experiences, her beautiful face full of surprise, her big eyes widened, her cherry mouth slightly opened, she seemed unable to believe what she heard, a worried look appeared from time to time, her brows slightly furrowed, as if the danger Gavin had experienced was happening right before her eyes.

After sending Hassan away, Margaery returned to her room. She was still immersed in Gavin's story for a long time. She recalled Gavin's appearance in her memory and couldn't help muttering to herself, "Queen? The last one who conquered the Stepstones, Daemon Targaryen, was crowned the King of the Narrow Sea and the Stepstones."

Meanwhile, Gavin was on a reconnaissance mission around Greyknocker Island aboard the Belleris.

The Belleris was originally the flagship that Earl the Black Shark prepared for himself, but after Gavin captured Shipwreck Bay, he used this nearly completed ship as his flagship. Just a month ago, the flagship was finally completed.

The entire ship is 80 meters long and the deck is 20 meters wide. Three towering masts reach straight into the sky, and the main pole is 50 meters high, with three huge sails hanging on it. The sails are painted with Gavin's family emblem and a ball of fiercely burning flames.

The hull was made of solid oak and covered with thick copper, which shone coldly in the sunlight. The bow protruded forward like a sharp blade, as if it could cut through any obstacles that blocked its way.

The deck is wide and flat, carefully polished, exuding the fragrance of wood. The railings are carved with exquisite patterns, showing its extraordinary status.

There are eight three-bow crossbows modified by Gavin on the front and rear sides of the deck. Their exquisite structure makes the range reach three times that of the crossbow. With the specially modified arrows, the lethality of the ship crossbow to the ship is increased exponentially. Gavin has ordered all ships to be converted into three-bow crossbows. With this powerful force, he confidently scouts the surrounding islands.
