"Leave the Lizard Lion entrails to be marinated with these spices, and send the Lizard Lion meat to the Stark Family.
It's perfect since all the great nobles of the North will be arriving these days; it can be an extra meal for everyone."
Princess Daenerys opened the special hidden compartment on the Dragon saddle, which contained various spices and salt, enough to process these entrails.
These processed Lizard Lion entrails were expensive and priceless, especially popular among wizards.
Although the church priests on Holy Flame Island were still young, they had mastered some secret methods of their respective churches, and these Lizard Lion entrails might be helpful to them.
Daenerys knew that the Stark Family still held some prejudice against the Targaryen Royal Family because of the The New Gift.
Therefore, the reason her Great-grandfather sent Daenerys to escort the Northern nobles by Dragon this time was also to let her take the opportunity to mend their relationship.
As the saying goes, 'too many gifts are never a problem,' and the dragonflame wine and porcelain Daenerys prepared were already valuable, so adding so much precious Lizard Lion meat was indeed a heavy gift.
"Greetings, Princess!"
The frail Duke Ellard stood at the forefront, behind him were his younger brother Benjen Stark and sister-in-law Lady Lysa Locke, Benjen's sons Rickon and Benard, and a group of young girls.
"Hello, Duke Stark!"
After exchanging greetings with each member of the Stark Family, Daenerys had Vada present the meeting gifts.
Seeing the gifts Daenerys brought, Duke Ellard's expression brightened considerably.
"This meat is?"
Watching Vada take another pile of fresh meat from Dreamfyre's back, Duke Ellard couldn't help but ask curiously.
Vada handed dozens of pounds of Lizard Lion meat to a nearby guard and explained proudly,
"Duke, this is Lizard Lion meat that the Princess hunted in The Neck."
"Lizard Lion?"
Everyone was surprised by Vada's words because Lizard Lions, as the overlords of The Neck, were very difficult to hunt.
Few people could hunt Lizard Lions; a slight mistake could lead to them becoming the Lizard Lion's food.
However, when everyone saw the majestic Dreamfyre before them, they understood.
At this moment, Dreamfyre also lowered his head, opened his large mouth, and spat out five small Lizard Lions.
Being held in his mouth the whole way had stifled the five Dragons, but due to Dreamfyre's might, they dared not move.
So, as soon as they came out, they eagerly stretched their bodies.
Their head-shaking, body-wiggling, and up-and-down movements looked very clumsy and adorable, making all the Starks freeze.
"These really are Lizard Lions!"
Especially ten-year-old Benard, his attention was immediately drawn to the five small Lizard Lions,
"Oh my! Are these Lizard Lions? But they look so ugly!"
Although he sounded disdainful, his body honestly moved slowly towards the small Lizard Lions.
Lady Lysa quickly pulled back her young son, who didn't know any better, and gently admonished him,
"Benard, do not be rude in front of the Princess!"
The Winterfell guards immediately stepped in front of everyone.
Although these few small Lizard Lions were only half a meter in size, they could still be quite dangerous if they suddenly attacked someone.
At this moment, Daenerys walked to the small Lizard Lions and patted their small heads with dawn sword.
The few Dragons immediately huddled together obediently, and then, under Daenerys's urging, retreated under Dreamfyre and lay down obediently.
"I never imagined that the Princess could not only control dragons but also tame the Lizard Lions of The Neck; it's truly admirable!"
Benjen Stark, as the current next lord of the Stark Family, showed more closeness to Daenerys at that time.
Lady Lysa also affectionately walked to Daenerys's side, took her hand, and said softly,
"Princess, please come in.
After receiving the King's message, we have been looking forward to your arrival.
Although the North is cold, the scenery around Winterfell is still beautiful.
Let Rickon and his brother accompany you to explore these next few days."
"Thank you, Lady Lysa!"
Although Daenerys's hair was very short and she was wearing armor, her exquisite beauty did not diminish her feminine grace.
The Winterfell Great Hall was used for entertaining guests and for the castle lord's family meals; its area was quite large.
The outer walls were built of gray stone and hung with the Stark Family's white Direwolf banners.
There was a large door made of oak and iron facing the castle courtyard, and a side door leading to a dark corridor.
The interior of the hall could fit eight long tables, separated by a central aisle, four on each side, capable of accommodating 500 people at once.
The elevated platform was reserved for noble guests.
Duke Ellard personally led Daenerys to the long table on the elevated platform.
At this time, the table had gold and silver tableware and several large fruit plates.
Red wine had already been poured into the crystal decanters.
Looking at it this way, compared to the great nobles of the South, the Stark Family indeed lived a bit frugally.
"This is my first time in the North.
Before, I only heard people say that the weather here is harsh and the land is barren.
However, on this journey, I found that the North is not only vast, but if properly developed, many places can grow high-yield crops."
Daenerys always liked to get straight to the point.
To build good relationships, bringing benefits to the other party was the most effective way.
So, from the start, she brought up the biggest issue limiting the North's development.
Duke Ellard naturally knew about Daenerys and Holy Flame Island.
Although he didn't think Daenerys could have any good solutions to the North's food problem, he still took up the topic,
"I have also heard about the Princess and Holy Flame Island.
Holy Flame Island has indeed cultivated many high-yield crops and livestock in recent years, but Princess, the climate conditions on Holy Flame Island are much superior to those in the North."
"What works on Holy Flame Island may not necessarily work in the North.
Of course, if the Princess is willing to supply those high-quality seeds to us in the North, the people of the North will naturally be immensely grateful."
Daenerys merely smiled and did not respond, but suddenly shifted the topic to the issue of the The New Gift,
"Although many things depend on fate, more often than not, things depend on human effort.
Just like the The New Gift allocated to the Night's Watch, if left for the Night's Watch to cultivate, those lands might slowly become barren."
"Now His Majesty the King has exiled the entire Hightower Family to Crown Town.
With them managing it, the The New Gift will surely become fertile land.
This not only helps the Night's Watch better but also benefits the overall situation of the North, doesn't it?"
Originally, Duke Ellard was very dissatisfied with King Jaehaerys exiling the Hightower Family to Crown Town.
He felt that the Targaryen Royal Family had twice used their Northern lands to curry favor without even consulting them, the Wardens of the North.
However, now hearing Daenerys say this, his dissatisfaction dissipated considerably.
After all, the reason they were unwilling to allocate the The New Gift to the Night's Watch at that time was that they feared the land would become barren.
Although the North was vast, arable land was truly limited, so they naturally had objections.
And Benjen Stark and his wife, seeing Princess Daenerys dilute the Stark Family's dissatisfaction with the Targaryen Royal Family in just a few words, couldn't help but look at each other,
"It seems the rumors were indeed true; this Princess is truly extraordinary!"
