Chapter 98: Where are the allies?

"You need local allies in Westeros so that you can unite with them to rule Westeros, and King's Landing is not your first target after crossing the Narrow Sea."

"My sister, Queen Regent Cersei, has the Lannister army, the private armies of the nobles who obey her, and the more powerful allies of the Seven Kingdoms."

"King's Landing is not an isolated city. If we attack it directly, we will face the danger of being attacked from both sides. Even if we manage to capture King's Landing, it will be difficult to sit firmly on the Iron Throne."

Daenerys, who was originally in high spirits, was hit hard by Tyrion's words and asked depressedly, "Who in Westeros is willing to be my ally?"

Seeing Daenerys' frustrated expression, Tyrion couldn't help but be a little stunned. The mysterious man asked Varys to save the Wolf mother and son and remind Prince Oberyn of Dorne. How could all this be in vain?

As soon as he thought of this, he suddenly realized that Daenerys might not even know the existence of the mysterious man, which made him very upset.

The mysterious man subdued Varys and asked him to save the Wolf family mother and son, save Oberyn, and asked Varys to persuade him to serve Daenerys.

The mysterious man had done so much for Daenerys, and she had no idea!

Tyrion wanted to tell her everything about the mysterious man immediately, but he held back when he thought of Varys's advice.

He dared to guarantee that even Varys, the octopus spider, didn't know that Daenerys didn't know the existence of the mysterious man.

He really wanted to tell Varys about this, to see what expression the usually calm Octopus Spider would have when he learned that the mysterious man who had subdued him to serve Daenerys and instructed him to do so many things turned out to be such an elusive existence.

After coming to Meereen, Tyrion tentatively asked Shireen, hoping to learn from her about the mysterious man.

Shireen only said that someone asked Drogon to bring her a letter, asking her to be taken away from Dragonstone.

He didn't get the answer he wanted from shireen, but it wasn't completely fruitless. He had a hunch that shireen must have been hiding something from him.

And the things that were concealed were most likely related to the mysterious man, but looking at shireen's expression at the time, it seemed that she was unaware of the existence of the mysterious man.

Tyrion couldn't help but look at Drogon who was listening to him on Daenerys' shoulder. Now only Drogon knew who the mysterious man was, and he couldn't ask. Although Drogon could understand human language, he couldn't speak.

After Daenerys asked the question, she didn't get an answer from Tyrion for a long time. She guessed that no family was willing to be her ally, so Tyrion was reluctant to say it, and she became even more discouraged.

Of course, Tyrion couldn't tell anything from Drogon's face. When he turned around, he found Daenerys looking frustrated, and then he realized that he hadn't answered Daenerys's question just now.

Little did he know that his delay had caused Daenerys to misunderstand him.

"Westeros is now on the brink of collapse. All the nobles are seeking allies, but there are not many families that are truly qualified to compete for the Iron Throne. You are one of the most powerful contenders, and someone will definitely lean on you."

Daenerys originally thought that Tyrion did not answer her because he could not find a suitable ally, but she did not expect that he did not speak because he was distracted just now.

After hearing what he said, Daenerys immediately regained her spirits and asked anxiously: "Who could be my ally?"

"You can try to form an alliance with the Starks in the North and the Martells in Dorne."

"House Stark?" Daenerys has always hated the Starks, who are loyal supporters of the usurper Robert, but she did not expect that Tyrion would make them his allies.

When Tyrion first came to Meereen, he knew that Daenerys hated the Starks. Now he no longer worries about why the mysterious man helped the Wolf family, but Daenerys still hated the Wolf family. If he keeps thinking about it, he will definitely hit his head against a wall.

So he could only explain patiently: "The hatred between Stark and King's Landing is deep, and there will be no reconciliation. They are in urgent need of allies now."

"Aren't they trapped in Riverrun? They might have died before I could rescue them?"

Daenerys hates the Starks, but she also hates the Lannisters, to whom the Kingslayer belongs, and the Baratheons, to whom the usurper belongs, Robert.

And now Tyrion and Shireen both come from the family she hates, but aren't they serving her now?

She also understands what Tyrion means. Now is not the time to continue to hold grudges for the war of the usurper, but to put aside past grudges and focus on winning over allies.

"Riverrun is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The Starks will not be trapped to death so easily. However, although Robb calls himself the King in the North, he has lost the qualification to compete for the Iron Throne since he betrayed the engagement with the Frey family."

"Ramsay the Flayed has almost wiped out the remaining northern troops. Even if Robb breaks through the siege, it will be difficult for him to return to the north. It is hard to say whether he can survive this war."

There is one more thing Tyrion didn't say. With Robb's personality, he is really not suitable to sit on the Iron Throne. And Eddard's other illegitimate son Jon is more like Eddard than Robb, and is even less suitable to sit on the Iron Throne. Like Eddard, they are only good at fighting.

"Could Dorne become my ally?" Knowing that the Stark family is now in trouble and Daenerys is powerless to do anything about it, she asked about Dorne again.

"Dorne has a feud with the Lannisters, and is isolated from the other kingdoms by the mountains. It is very likely that they will not help King's Landing in this battle for the Iron Throne. You may be able to win them over."

Since Daenerys didn't know about the mysterious man's help to Prince Oberyn of Dorne, Tyrion could only answer this way.

As for his niece Princess Myrcella who was sent to Dorne, Tyrion did not think that she alone could maintain the relationship between Lannister and Dorne.

"Tell me about other nobles and forces in Westeros!" Daenerys wanted to take the opportunity to learn more about Westeros.

"The Northern Army was completely annihilated by Ramsay the Flayer. Ramsay has become the true guardian of the North, and he has no choice but to surrender to King's Landing."

"The Eyrie in the Valley Kingdom is actually ruled by Catelyn's sister Lysa. Her intentions are hard to guess. Given the natural fortress of the Eyrie, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack, it is more likely that they will remain neutral."

"Catelin is trapped in Riverrun, won't Lysa go to rescue her?" Daenerys asked puzzledly after hearing what Tyrion said.

Just now the two were analyzing that even if they wanted to form an alliance with the Wolf family, the mother and son of the Wolf family might not be able to wait until the day Daenerys arrived in Westeros.

Now reminded by Tyrion, Daenerys remembered that Catelyn's sister married Lord Arryn, and she could send troops to rescue her sister.

After asking this question, Daenerys couldn't help but feel ashamed of what she knew about the nobles of Westeros. In the future, she would have to learn more about the history of Westeros and the family history of the nobles from Shireen.

"I was on trial for the murder of Bran at the Eyrie in the Vale, and I saw Catelyn and her sister quarrel. I don't think Lysa will come to rescue Catelyn."

Tyrion analyzed, thinking of Catelyn's somewhat perverted sister Lysa and her seven or eight-year-old son who had not yet breastfed.
