Daenerys had only used the hot spring baths a few times when they were first built on Holy Flame Island, and it had been a long time since she had enjoyed a hot spring bath.
Although the water temperature of the hot spring in the Godswood was much lower than that on Holy Flame Island, the presence of ancient wood essence in the spring made one feel incredibly relaxed.
To ensure Daenerys's safety, besides Lady Stark, her four personal maids, Vada, all entered the hot spring pool with Daenerys.
Attended by the beautiful ladies, Daenerys slowly walked to the center of the hot spring pool. Although this hot spring in the Godswood had a unique charm, I, who was already accustomed to high temperatures, always felt it was still lacking something.
However, the temperature of this hot spring was already sufficient for the other beautiful ladies. And compared to their mature, full, and alluring figures, Daenerys, though not short, was noticeably more slender.
Looking at her small, bun-like chest, Daenerys surprisingly felt a little self-conscious.
"It seems I need to put some effort into maintaining and nourishing my body. A woman's vital assets must be well-cared for."
It was already night, and the surroundings were pitch black, with only a few oil lamps hanging on the ancient trees beside the hot spring pool. As the saying goes, beauties are best seen by lamplight; amidst the hazy, misty vapor, the girls' fair skin, nourished by the hot spring, became even more rosy and tender.
And the girls, being open and familiar with each other, naturally couldn't help but frolic and play. Amidst the hazy night and swirling mist, pairs of pinkish-white jade rabbits became even more lively. Even a young girl like Daenerys couldn't help but watch with great interest.
"Princess, you are still young, so there's no need to envy them. Children generally don't fully develop until they are thirteen or fourteen."
Vada, with her firm assets swaying, sat down beside Daenerys, being completely open. Due to her martial arts training, Vada's muscles were much firmer and more solid than those of average women. Especially her two assets in front, they were almost the size of half a pomelo.
Seeing that her teasing didn't make Daenerys shy at all, Vada directly brought up the main topic,
"Princess, why did you suddenly fall into a deep sleep? Is there something strange about the Weirwood tree in the Godswood?"
Daenerys was surprised that Vada had noticed this, so she asked curiously,
"Why do you ask that?"
Vada then explained,
"My mother is from the Blackwood Family, and they are devout followers of the Old Gods. So there are many legends about Weirwood trees. It is said that many families with spiritual beliefs can control ravens and some wild beasts through Weirwood trees. The powerful ones can even control Shadow Mountain Cats, giant bears, mountain eagles, and Direwolves."
At this point, Vada's expression couldn't help but reveal a hint of melancholy,
"In my maternal family, I heard that in the past, some people could control small birds like ravens or some small cats and dogs. However, later, perhaps because the Weirwood trees in the Riverlands were largely cut down, such people became fewer and fewer."
"When I was young, I went to my grandfather's house to consult ancient texts and cultivated for a long time under his family's Weirwood tree, but unfortunately, I gained nothing."
Daenerys placed her hand on Vada's firm chest, softly chanted a spell, and carefully sensed the magical power within her body. Under Daenerys's guidance, the magical aura emanating from the nearby Weirwood tree slowly entered Vada's body, gradually awakening the dormant magical power within her bloodline.
Daenerys slowly closed her eyes, and in her consciousness, a towering Weirwood tree and a group of fleeting ravens suddenly appeared.
"Ah~"
Vada's blushing moan instantly pulled Daenerys's consciousness back to reality. It also made Daenerys retract her hands as if she had been electrocuted.
"Th-that, Princess, is it very comfortable for Miss Vada?"
Several noble ladies who had been watching from the side for who knows how long finally couldn't help but ask curiously.
Misunderstood, Daenerys firmly slapped Vada's plump posterior, who was still in ecstasy,
"Slap~"
"It's getting late, help me change and go back to rest!"
"Princess, aren't you going to play a little longer? We also want to try that feeling!"
"I was just helping her with a physical examination, I'll have a chance to examine you all later. Today I am really quite tired, see you tomorrow."
Daenerys quickly changed into a simple lady's dress provided by Lady Lysa with their assistance, and then fled back to the main castle's guest room.
After a shallow sleep of about two hours, Daenerys changed into her leather armor, woke Vada, bypassed the Stark Family's sentries, and quietly came to the Stark Family crypt behind Winterfell.
Meraxes had already been waiting there for a long time. Her bonded dragon was truly something else; as long as they were within a certain range, they could communicate entirely through telepathy.
"Princess, in the middle of the night, why are you sneaking into the Stark Family crypt?"
Vada asked, puzzled.
Daenerys didn't have time to explain too much, so she simply said,
"As you said, it's related to that Weirwood tree. My sudden deep sleep today was also because of that Weirwood tree. It guided me here to resolve some trouble."
"Trouble?!"
Although Vada was still a bit confused, she said no more and walked ahead of Daenerys, beginning to scout the way.
Although the Stark Family crypt was unguarded, oil lamps were always lit inside. So Daenerys and her companions easily slipped in.
Meraxes followed behind Daenerys, also crawling into the crypt. Only Meraxes, who had established a special relationship with the Weirwood tree, was not afraid of the eerie cold magic here. Dreamfyre and the others all detested this energy and were unwilling to approach it at all.
"So cold! It's summer, so why is it still so cold here? And why do I feel a power here that frightens me greatly?"
With Daenerys's help, Vada had successfully awakened her magical bloodline, and naturally, she could sense the strangeness here. But under Daenerys's perception, it felt as if hundreds of eyes were coldly staring at her from within.
Relying on her perception, Daenerys walked to the stone coffin with the strongest energy fluctuations.
"Meraxes, help me open this stone coffin."
Meraxes easily pushed aside the heavy stone coffin lid with the forelimbs on her Dragon Wings. A denser, eerie cold magical power immediately permeated the crypt.
"Meraxes, grab the bones inside!"
Meraxes stretched her head into the huge stone coffin and immediately picked out the bones inside.
"Clang~"
The skeleton, when dropped to the ground, made a sound like metal or stone. Daenerys and Vada looked in the direction of the sound, and I found that this skeleton, which had been dead for who knows how many years, was still perfectly preserved, its face like ice sculpture, as if it were merely sleeping.
