"Looks like we have to try to eat some dragon dung in the future… add some dragon dung to the food." Jorah touched his chin, eyes wandering.

"You want to eat it too?" Dany's eyes widened.

"Ai, Her Highness, haven't you seen it yet? Dragon...dung can help people resist that Dragon Horn, maybe there are other effects." Whitebeard lowered his eyes and said.

"I'm afraid…" Dany glanced at the people who were licking their lips with anticipation, and said in pain, "I'm afraid that bit of dragon....that bit of dragon dung is not enough for you to share."

"How about feeding the dragons more food, and from now we don't let them urinate and defecate outside as they want?" Jorah suggested.

"Okay."

Dany doesn't want to talk about dragon dung any more, she won't eat it anyway, even if you kill her.

Opening the half-person-height redwood box in front of her, a pair of ink-black inlaid with gold silk full-body armor sat neat and tidy placed on fluffy silk.

Black like smoke, its scales are scarlet gold edged and patterned with thread, glyphs, and mysterious symbols.

She remembered that Euron was wearing this armor before, and later, in order to gain the trust of herself and the others, he left all the armor and sword on Silence.

Taking the helmet about the size of a watermelon and putting it on her head...well, it's like a size M wearing a size 4XL.

Too big.

It's light though, because it's thin.

Valyrian steel is "immortal and deformable", so there is no need to increase the defensive power with thickness like iron armor.

At the end of the day, Valyrian steel is also a kind of steel – steel forged using Magic, if it is thinner, thus it is naturally lighter.

It's a pity that this is a armor for males, she can't wear it.

Dany put down the helmet and glanced over the Bloodrider, Jorah, Whitebeard and the others in that order.

Some within the room seemed to have guessed what Dany was thinking of. When Dany looked over, Jorah immediately held his head high, and Whitebeard put his crutches that he had been sticking to the side, posing as "I am definitely not old" .

Even Strong Belwas was took a deep breath and tried to shrink his Buddha like belly to a more muscular shape.

Only a few Dothraki seemed ignorant.

"Who wants this armor?" Dany touched her nose.

"I don't want iron armor, brave Dothraki Warriors will never hide in iron!" Aggo shouted first.

It's as if giving him the Valyria armor is forcibly insulting him.

"Dothraki don't wear iron armor, it is known." Jhogo also said.

"Well, it is known." Rakharo and Quaro agreed in unison.

Never in this moment has Jorah Mormont loved the straight and brave Dothraki so much, and the Dothraki's phrasing "it is known".

Without the Bloodrider, who can compete with him as Queensguard for the armor?

Sure enough, Dany pointed her head at Jorah, "Okay, Ser, it's yours!"

"Wait a minute, Your Highness," Arstan Whitebeard reached out to stop the Knight, who was overjoyed, from rushing to the big box, "I don't deny Ser Jorah's bravery, but his loyalty remains in the dark. As an old man, I remind you, be careful of tongues."

"Did I say it wrong?" Whitebeard stared at him sharply and said, "So say yourself? Never have you betrayed Her Highness!? Swear by your Father's and House Mormont's lineage and reputation!"

"He is my Queensguard, he has saved me many a time, and thusly I trust him." Dany stepped forward, pushing the older man away gently, she bent down and picked up the steel helmet and handed it to Mormont, saying, "If I don't trust my savior who has saved my life so many times, who should I trust?"

"Her Highness, I swear...I swear by my Father's and House Mormont's lineage and reputation, I will protect you with my life." Big Bear's eyes were red as he whispered his pledge, and took the helmet that shone with black light with trembling hands.

"Your Highness!" Whitebeard objected, trying to say something but didn't voice it.

No matter what has happened before, from this moment onwards, Jorah Mormont will be set for her, the old master is an amazing wingman!

Dany thought triumphantly.

The armor can only be given to Jorah.

There are three Bloodriders, plus Dragonsguard Quaro, which do not want the 'iron armor'. Giving it to them but not the willing others will only create a situation of seeming favoritism.

As for Arstan Whitebeard…

Dany has long guessed his identity, Lord Commander of the Kingsguard, Barristan Selmy, or Barristan the Bold. One who will never betray his Lord.

Well, while watching "Game of Thrones", Dany knew there was such a person, but he didn't show up much, and he didn't have any large spots, and he was so useless when he died, she couldn't remember his name at all.

But after coming to this world and getting a lot of information, Dany realized that his name was Barristan Selmy, and what that name represented.

Let's put it this way, Barristan, got the "Bold" epithet at the age of ten.

However, this Barristan the Bold is not loyal to any one person, but to the Royal Family, nor is loyalty first, but honor.

Replace honor and loyalty with "King", and Barristan Selmy is Guan Yu.

T.N.:(Guan Yu was a Chinese military general serving under the warlord Liu Bei during the late Eastern Han dynasty of China.)

He also has powerful martial power and strategy – in the War of the Ninepenny Kings(1), Barristan rushed a bloody path through the Golden Company(2) members alone and successfully killed them too reach Maelys I Blackfyre, or Maelys the Monstrous and fight and defeat him in single combat and ended the rebellion of the Blackfyre family(3).

***(P.S.:) 1: 40 years ago, the fifth Blackfyre rebellion, involving the Seven Kingdoms and Nine Free Cities, Maelys I Blackfyre and eight others were a group of pirates, sellswords, and merchants banded together to create the "Band of Nine", they called themselves Kings, and they were each other's aids, but they were ridiculed as "crowns being sold nine a penny", so they were called the "Ninepenny Kings" – the key is that they failed, and losers are branded bandits.

2: The Golden Company: A super sellsword group established by the illegitimate Targaryen child Ser Aegor Rivers. In exile on the Essos continent, he intended to counterattack Westeros and seize the throne of the lineage, the Golden Company has 10,000 Warriors, known as the most honorable sellsword group in the World.

3: The Targaryen's family emblem is a Red Dragon on a black background, and an illegal child's is a Black Dragon on a red background, so the orthodox name is a Red Dragon, and the illegal name is a Black Dragon.

Because of a certain generation of Targaryen King's brain aneurysm they gave the illegal children an inheritance. A right to the illegal child——Saint Baelor's creation, his Maidenvault, they couldn't stand it anymore, they went out, and ended up with a bunch of illegal children.

So after the "Dance of the Dragons" infighting that wiped out the dragons, the Targaryen family started the "Blackfyre Rebellion" that lasted several decades and five rebellions, with it the last bit of sanctity of the Targaryen royal family had then disappeared.

House Targaryen naturally had a Valyrian Steel Sword, and there was more than one, among which the bastard sword named "Blackfyre" was an ancestral sword, but the brain-dead, now dead, King gave the ancestral sword to his illegitimate child.

So, just like the Norths illegitimate children are all surnamed "Snow", the illegitimate children of House Targaryen began to honorably take the surname "Blackfyre", so their rebellion became known as the "Blackfyre Rebellion".

Barristan is a great character, and all the Knights of Westeros follow his example because he is the last of the Seven Kingdoms' greatest era of Knights (4).

(4:About half a century before Jaime Lannister took office as Kingsguard, there were many real Knights within the Seven Kingdoms, they were of high character, martial skill, brave and fearless, and regarded glory and honor above all else)

Especially in today's depraved Knight era (5), Barristan has extraordinary appeal – if he wants to fight for Westeros hegemony.

(5: Since Kingsguard Jaime Lannister killed the king, Knights completely lost their former glory. As the penultimate representative of Knights, a Kingsguard killed a King, cheated with the Queen, killed the most devout, was cowardly and betrayed his Lord ——Tommen, fleeing privately in the war——not only has he a low character, but also low martial power, he will only be slapping others)

***

If Barristan kneeled and swore to Dany, then he might surpass Jorah Mormont's loyalty and contribution.

It's a pity…

The dignified 'Seven Kingdoms Barristan the Bold  turned into a 'Westeros three times slave'…

Well, as Kingsguard, Barristan Selmy served Dany's grandfather, father, and Usurper Robert Baratheon for 14 years, and even Joffrey, Fake, Baratheon for a few days.

This… Jaehaerys II(Grandfather) and Mad King Aerys(Father) belong to the Targaryen, the Usurper to the Baratheon, Joffrey to the Lannister.

A proper family slave with three surnames.

The worst part is that he was looked down upon by Joffrey and became the first Knight to be kicked out of the Kingsguard.

You must know that being a Kingsguard is a lifelong profession, serving the Royal Family all their life. Similarly, the King should give him a lifetime of glory.

During that period of great Knights, there was a time when the seven Kingsguards of House Targaryen, four of which were paralyzed in bed and unable to work.

But with the Mad King's madness, he didn't make them get out of bed, but instead let them spend the last glorious times of their lives with the treatment of ministers.

Well, the Lord Commander of the Kingsguard himself has the qualifications to discuss politics at the same table as the Hand of the King.

Although he's willing to come too serve Dany, Barristan still has dignity, and he doesn't want to serve one whom he doesn't know if they deserve to be king.

He hid his identity mainly to examine the qualifications of Daenerys, whether she had the noble qualities of a good King.

So far, he has not taken the initiative to reveal his identity, which means that Dany still has not passed his assessment.

Well, this old gentleman is probably afraid after being used by the three crazies, the Mad King, Robert, and Joffrey, and has a shadow.

But since he's not 'himself', Dany won't give him the precious Valyrian steel armor.

The eunuch Belwas was introduced by Illyrio, and his status in Dany's heart is not even as good as an ordinary Dothraki Warrior.

The second day after lunch, Dany was lying on bed, studying the Valyrian glyphs on the large Dragon Horn, when a sailor came over and reported to the maid Doreah outside the door: "Euron, Crow's Eye, has awoken."

Dany had people set up seats on the stern deck, and 20 Dothraki Warriors were arranged in two rows.

Jorah Mormont in black iron armor brought Euron over.

"Ha....ha, it's a great harvest...even my own armor is taken from me," Euron laughed and he looked at Jorah, the man of now uncommon military might, "I originally wanted to redeem myself, it seems that all my treasures have been robbed by you already....

HA, you may have thought of looting the Valyria explorers at that time, right?

Just so, I gave you an excuse! your hearts are dark and can not be hidden!"

Euron looked horribly miserable, his head is mostly burnt, and his gorgeous silk gold-edged black robe is blackened and tattered, especially his face, arms, chest and legs are black with red blood scabs, and while talking, the blood scabs on his face were still bleeding.
