Chapter 188: A Shocking Bet, Eight Unsullied for Balerion

"Yes, Jon, I appoint you as Rhaegal's dragon rider."

This sentence rang in Jon's ears like a thunder, making him feel a little dazed. As a boy living in Westeros and growing up hearing legends of dragons and white walkers, Jon has always been yearning for the legendary creature, the dragon.

Even though he could see a giant dragon hovering in the sky above Donghaiwang almost every moment during this period of time, his feeling of yearning did not diminish in the slightest.

After all, dragons are too mysterious and powerful for ordinary people. Only after a long time of living with dragons like Daenerys's men can they gradually get used to this shock.

Therefore, when he heard Lyon's reconfirmation, the first thing that came to Jon's mind was not panic, but irrepressible joy, a kind of joy like a child who finally got the toy he had been looking forward to for a long time.

However, just a moment later, Jon noticed a hint of targeted hostility and a sneer on Daenerys's face.

His heart tightened, and he immediately realized that he couldn't show too much excitement, so the joy was forcibly suppressed, and replaced by a hint of hesitation.

He hesitated for a moment, first looked at Daenerys calmly, then asked Leon softly:

"Commander-in-chief, do you really think I am qualified for the important role of a dragon knight? I know that being a dragon knight requires extraordinary courage and skills..."

There was a hint of uncertainty in his voice, and his eyes were fixed on Daenerys, trying to catch some clues from her eyes.

Seeing that Daenerys did not respond, Jon had no choice but to continue to express his doubts:

"But Lord Leon, will the dragon obey me?"

When Daenerys heard Jon's helpless tone, she sneered and replied for Lyon:

"Of course not. First of all, dragons are not slaves and will not obey any human orders!"

However, by the end of this passage, Daenerys was becoming less and less confident, and her voice was getting lower and lower, but then she raised her tone and continued:

"Unless that dragon rider has the blood of a dragon. As far as I know, I only have one relative in Westeros, my great-grandfather, Maester Aemon Targaryen. But the old maester is over a hundred years old and has no strength to control a dragon. Even if I am willing to let my great-grandfather control a dragon, I don't think Lord Lyon will be so cruel as to let an old man go to the battlefield again!"

Daenerys' voice was not loud, but it fell heavily on the hearts of everyone who came to the meeting, especially Jon. He thought of Maester Aemon far away in the Black Castle with some shame. Not only was he kind to Lyon, but the latter had also always taken good care of him.

"Yes, I don't want to slander my biological father, the late Lord Ned Stark, the guardian of the North, but I believe that my biological mother should not be a Targaryen..."

Daenerys's deliberately targeted words worked successfully, making Jon show a hint of retreating.

"How can we not try? Jon, I believe in you."

However, Lyon seemed not to have heard Daenerys' explanation. He looked at Jon with an unfathomable smile on his face and spoke slowly.

"In vain... Commander-in-Chief Lyon!"

Daenerys wanted to ridicule Lyon's naivety, but then her eyes lit up, and looking at Lyon who was swearing to Jon, she couldn't help but come up with a plan.

So Daenerys deliberately said provocatively:

"Since Lord Commander Lyon is so optimistic about Jon Snow, why don't we make a bet?"

"Oh? Daenerys, what do you want to bet?" Leon became interested immediately after hearing Daenerys' words.

"Let's bet on whether Jon Snow's mother is a Blackfyre remnant. Since Lord Commander Lyon trusts his ability so much, let him serve as a dragon rider."

However, when Daenerys mentioned Jon's name, she deliberately emphasized the word "Snow".

Jon immediately looked at Daenerys with displeasure. Even though he had given in to Daenerys again and again, the other party's hostility was still annoying as if it was pervasive.

He wondered in his heart, what exactly does this woman want to do? Why is she always targeting him?

However, Lyon did not notice Jon's expression change, his attention was completely attracted by the bet proposed by Daenerys. He responded confidently:

"Okay, Daenerys, I accept your challenge! And I firmly believe that Jon Snow's mother is definitely not a Black Flame remnant. If I lose, I am willing to bear any consequences. But what if you lose?"

Daenerys smiled slightly, as if she had expected Leon to answer like this. She said lightly:

"If I lose, I will acknowledge your wisdom and vision in front of everyone. How about this, is the bet big enough?"

"No, my wisdom and vision do not need to be criticized by others."

"Then what else do you want?"

"Unsullied! I need to expand my army, and the Night's Watch composed of 8,000 Unsullied should be able to barely maintain peace in the Seven Kingdoms, right?"

Hearing Leon's exorbitant demands, many of Daenerys's men present were shocked, especially Grey Worm, who stood up impatiently and responded to Leon's rude request:

"Impossible. Our Unsullied Army is made up entirely of free men. The only one we can be loyal to is Queen Daenerys!"

Daenerys was also shocked by Leon's condition. She couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time. After thinking for a moment, Daenerys agreed and added a condition:

"Well, if Jon can't control Rhaegal, I want your Balerion!"

After hearing this, Leon raised a smug smile. He felt that he had already won because he knew Jon much better than others. He believed that Jon's mother was just an ordinary woman and had nothing to do with the remnants of Blackfyre.

"Then it's a deal!" Lyon readily extended his hand, expressing his willingness to reach an agreement with Daenerys.

She happily took off a ring on her finger and introduced:

"The Ring of Kingship. With this, I can control your three dragons, and I will convince Balerion to obey you. Unfortunately, I will not lose, Daenerys."

Seeing that Lyon was so frank, Daenerys' eyes brightened. Under the temptation of Balerion, she completely forgot the risk that Jon might successfully control Rhaegal.

"Okay, deal!"

Jon felt very helpless at this time. He had originally hoped to avoid this boring dispute, but now it seemed that he could no longer stay out of it.

He could only watch the two of them make the bet silently, and prayed in his heart that this bet would not bring him too much trouble. At the same time, he also decided to find out the truth, prove his innocence, and shut up Daenerys. After all, it was not a pleasant feeling to be misunderstood that his mother was a remnant of the Black Flame.
