Ice and Fire: Reign of the Dragon.

Chapter 259 Daenerys's Choice
Longzel looked at his wife silently, did not answer her question, but gently grabbed his wife's hand.

Diana suddenly smiled: "It seems that besides that damn prophecy, responsibility and family, you actually have a place for me in your heart." She seemed very surprised by this, so surprised that she almost forgot that she was a weak old woman.
Long Zeer smiled bitterly and grabbed his wife's hand. He could probably guess what his wife was thinking. After so many years of getting along, Diana already knew what Long Zeer's attitude was in relationships between men and women, and she had always put herself in the right position.

Responsibility, family.

"I always thought that in your heart, my place is between responsibility and family." Diana stopped looking at her husband and looked at the familiar ceiling. Their bedroom was very simple and the decorations had not been changed over the years. Diana stared at the decorations and paintings that had been hung up when she got married, as well as the things that had been hung up after the children were born in order to better take care of them.

"You've done a great job, Diana." Longzel didn't know what to say. What Diana said was actually not wrong. If he hadn't already regarded Diana as a family member, then with his indifferent personality, in his heart, Diana, to put it bluntly, might just be a "tool" for the family to reproduce offspring, and a useful housekeeper, but he was not really that ruthless.

It wasn't really that disgusting, Diana suddenly smiled.

Perhaps it is not easy for a noble woman like her to pry open the heart of a guy who is indifferent by nature, has no joy or anger, and only cares about his family and responsibilities, and make room for herself in the heart.

"Don't worry, Longzel, I have never blamed you." She just lay on the bed, letting her husband hold her hand, and said calmly. "I am old and I am very satisfied. I have seven children, and they are also branching out for the family. My father, sister, brother, mother, and grandfather did not live to my age. I am very satisfied. Longzel, I am sorry that I may not be able to accompany you to continue."

Longzel looked at his wife silently. Diana had given so much to the family, so much so that everyone in the family knew that the old matriarch was an indispensable cornerstone for the family's true prosperity.

"Old man, how come you are still so young." Diana looked at Longzel at some point, and tremblingly raised her other hand and touched Longzel's cheek, gently, again and again, feeling the subtle traces of time on her husband's face.

"I'm old too, Diana." Longzel met his wife's gaze with a smile.

"I know, I'm just sighing." Diana smiled happily, but a hint of sadness crept onto her face again without her noticing: "Longzel, I don't know how long the gods want you to live, but I probably can't stay with you any longer."

"So there are some things I need to warn you about." Diana was no longer polite. She gently pinched Longzel's cheek and continued patiently: "Lingol is a good child. He will be a good assistant, a good leader, and a good brother. With him, Regen has grown up, and we don't need to worry too much about the children. Princess Elena is a good child. Although I don't understand why Princess Elena is not engaged to little Igor, but to little Regen. But your decisions are never wrong. I have no regrets for my children."

Diana was not as quiet and elegant as usual at this moment. Instead, she started to talk a lot, but Longzel listened patiently, not daring to miss a word.

"What worries me most are the children. Longzel, remember to let Sebastian go out for exercise more often, and let his parents take him to practice knight skills. He is a prince, not a bachelor. There is no need for the family to train another bachelor. Igor, my little liar, my little naughty boy, my most obedient grandson, you must protect him. He deserves the best, Dany, Dany, my little princess, she is the one I worry about the most. Longzel, do you know why she doesn't tame dragons?"

Longzel sighed. How could he not know his granddaughter's little plan? No, it should be a big plan.

The whole Dragon's Nest knows Daenerys' ambition. She looks down on the young dragons in her family, not to mention the newly hatched dragons. In her eyes, only her aunt's Silverwing, grandfather's Wormithor, great-uncle's Shadownight, and father's Starsong are worthy of her.

If worst comes to worst, my uncle’s Senderos will do.

After Igor learned about his sister's ambition, he didn't know how to look at her.

The difference between a dragon that so blatantly falls for an elder and one that prays for the elder to die soon is probably that the former will not be beaten.

"I know." Longzel said softly, "Dani is a very opinionated child. We are very happy that she has set her eyes on our dragon." "I knew you would say that." Diana snorted, put down her hand, and turned her head to the other side. "It's not like I haven't seen the family taming dragons, Longzel. I can see clearly how big and ferocious your dragons are. Dani is a girl. It is a symbol of honor for boys to get scars after taming dragons, but what about girls? How do you expect her to get married in the future?"

"Diana"

"Okay, okay, I know you have a lot of great ideas, and I also know you are very powerful, but you may not be there on the day Daenerys tames her favorite dragon. What if you fail to tame the dragon, Longzel, I want you to give me a promise."

"Go ahead," Longzel's eyes were full of sincerity.

But in the end, Diana couldn't help but turn her head to look at her husband, but she could read Longzel's true meaning from his eyes.

You know, I can only guide the children, but I will not control them to do what I want. Daenerys's battlefield is not between beds and silver threads, but on dragons and swords.

Although Daenerys refused to tame the little dragons and young dragons, no one doubted that as long as she was willing, these dragons would not resist her taming.

Diana's attitude softened: "Whatever you do, Daenerys is not allowed to touch your Vermithor."

The old matron of the Vareses family said firmly: "It is too big. You know Daenerys's character. If we are not careful, Wormithor will make her die."

"Promise me, Longzel."

Longzel looked at his aging wife and finally nodded.

"it is good."

Only then did Diana turn her head away with relief and close her eyes.

173 years of the Conquest calendar.

Lady Diana, who gave birth to seven children for the Varese family and worked hard all her life, passed away.

After her death, she was cremated by Wormisol himself, and her ashes were taken to a crypt deep underground in Dragon's Nest. In the Cathedral of the Seven Dragons, the priests built a pure white statue for her.

Later historical books gave this woman a sacred nickname.

Silver Madonna.
