Ignoring her father Viserys's distraction, Daenerys continued, "Also, the tournament will consume a lot of various foods and drinks. To ensure the safety of the contestants and spectators, all supplies should preferably be handled by specialized vendors."
"We can directly invite external businesses, first charging a certain amount for a spot fee. Then, we can collect a percentage based on their sales."
Seeing her mother and sister looking bewildered, and even her father Viserys with a somewhat uncomprehending expression, Daenerys explained, "In the Seven Kingdoms, tournaments are inherently a display of power and wealth. Those nobles will naturally be very willing to spend some gold Dragons to showcase their family's unique delicacies and fine wines at the tournament grounds!"
"And if they can gain recognition and praise from everyone because of this, won't they have a continuous stream of wealth coming in after that?!"
Upon hearing Daenerys's explanation, everyone immediately understood!
They couldn't help but secretly marvel at Daenerys's intelligence!
Emma praised her sincerely, "This is indeed a novel method; it's hard to imagine how you came up with it! If I hadn't seen you come out of my belly with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe that I could have given birth to such a clever daughter!"
Viserys added, "We also need to ensure the tournament grounds are safe enough, after all, those attending are scions of various great families. If anything were to happen, it could cause a lot of trouble."
Rhaenyra then spoke with full confidence, "I have an idea for this! Although there aren't many knights on Dragonstone, we have Dragons!"
"Besides arranging soldiers and knights, we can have Vhagar, Dreamfire, and Syrax assist on site. I don't believe anyone would dare to cause trouble then."
"And with Dragons present, the scene will be even more captivating, won't it!"
Daenerys immediately agreed, "I think my sister's suggestion is very good. A tournament hosted by the Targaryen Family should naturally feature Dragons."
"We can also hire some painters at that time. Anyone who wants to be painted with the Dragons only needs to pay enough gold Dragons."
Daenerys's words immediately received a response from Rhaenyra,
"That's a good idea, how much do you think we should charge each time?"
Daenerys thought for a moment and said, "At least 1000 gold Dragons to start."
"Of course, if there's someone bold enough who wants us to help him ride a Dragon, that would be at least 10,000 gold Dragons to start."
Her father Viserys immediately objected upon hearing this,
"This is not appropriate! Although we Targaryen Family members can ride Dragons, we cannot guarantee they won't attack strangers! This is simply too dangerous."
"And how can the Tankrian Family's Dragons be ridden by others?"
Her sister Rhaenyra pouted in dissatisfaction upon hearing this. Daenerys, however, disagreed, saying,
"Isn't the so-called display of power meant to inspire awe?"
"Maintaining the mystery and majesty of the Dragons can naturally keep people in awe of the Targaryen Family."
"But if we allow them to feel the power of our Dragons up close, and only we can control these powerful Dragons so well, it might not necessarily prevent them from transferring their awe of the Dragons to the Targaryen Family members themselves."
After nearly an hour of discussion, Viserys's family finally formulated a general framework.
Daenerys then called Samwell over and instructed him to execute their plans. At the same time, she assigned her sworn knight Cameron Tarth and personal maid Laila Royce to assist Samwell as temporary deputies.
Cameron was diligent and diplomatic in his dealings, while Laila was decisive and efficient. With their assistance, they could greatly help the busy Samwell.
Daenerys also personally invited Mederick of the Manderly Family from White Harbor, specifically to oversee the establishment of the betting system and the recruitment of suppliers for the tournament.
Through their interactions these past few days, Daniella greatly admired the abilities of the Mederick brothers. Especially the 12-year-old Mederick, whose maturity, composure, and capability greatly impressed Daenerys.
Facing Daenerys's sincere invitation, Mederick readily accepted. Fortunately, he had brought a good number of people from White Harbor this time, so he immediately began to take action.
Because a specialized tournament ground still needed to be built, the tournament was scheduled to take place a month later.
Once the news spread, Dragonstone, which was already bustling, once again became the focus of attention in the Seven Kingdoms.
Because the participants of this tournament were limited to the young generation of nobles from the Seven Kingdoms, even families who had no interest in marrying into the royal family sent their offspring to Dragonstone.
The tournament grounds were chosen by Daenerys to be at the border between the old and new Dragonstone.
White Sheep Town was less than two kilometers to the northeast, and across the great river to the southwest was the Fishing Village of Dragonstone.
Daenerys planned to develop this area into a new port for Dragonstone in the future. This was because it had a wide, deep harbor and was surrounded by hills on the edge of the island.
By building fortresses on the coastal rocks on both sides, it would be easy to protect the security of the entire port.
Previously, Daenerys had not had sufficient financial resources, which was why she had delayed action. Now, dragon porcelain had brought her 20 million gold Dragons, and she would also receive about 200,000 gold Dragons each month in the future.
Taking advantage of this opportunity to construct the tournament grounds, Daenerys was preparing to officially break ground.
Because Daenerys had mastered the manufacturing process of black stone, and with the help of Dreamfire, Mylas and Grey Shadow, the three Dragons, the speed of smelting the black stone needed for the tournament grounds was greatly increased.
Especially when her sister Rhaenyra and father Viserys would occasionally bring their Dragons to help.
The fact that Daenerys was a Dreamwalker of the Targaryen Family was no longer a secret within the family, so they were not at all surprised that Daenerys could produce black Dragonstone.
Instead, they were very interested in the forging process of black Dragonstone, but after truly witnessing it, they felt it was nothing extraordinary!
However, Daenerys could clearly feel that the black Dragonstone forged now was very different from before.
Especially the black Dragonstone forged using the Dragonflame of Dreamfire and the other Dragons was clearly of much higher quality than the black Dragonstone forged by Syrax and Vhagar.
Daenerys knew this must be related to magic, but her knowledge of magic was still in its infancy. She could only vaguely sense some indistinct energy fluctuations based on her current unique sensory abilities.
However, she had now confirmed one thing: the special energy contained in the gems in the caves where Dreamfire and the other Dragons resided must be magic.
Therefore, this was also the fundamental reason why the Dragonflame of Dreamfire and the others was already different from that of Syrax and Vhagar.
