Chapter 427 The Dragon Arrives

Helena rubbed the dough on her fingers and said calmly: "Mother knows about this."

"What!?"

Aemond exclaimed.

After a second thought, he asked, "How could mother agree? She hates Rhaenyra and Rhaegar the most."

Unless the mother intends to compromise and use her sister's future as a bargaining chip.

Helena shook her head: "Don't think blindly, I am willing to do it. Mother can no longer control me."

Tell the truth to avoid misunderstanding.

She has liked her brother since she was a child.

It is useless for others to object.

Aemond couldn't believe it and looked embarrassed: "You are crazy. Targaryens no longer have the tradition of marrying more. You are acting as a mistress!"

The words were harsh and full of annoyance.

He would rather Helena married that idiot Aegon, so that she could at least have a status and live upright.

"Who said I wanted to be a mistress, my dear brother?"

Helena's expression remained unchanged and she asked: "You should know about Lady Jane. Do you think a duchess will be a mistress?"

Except when facing Rhaegar, her IQ was online most of the time.

Jenny comes from the Arryn family of the Eagle's Nest, and her character is exactly as the family motto says.

"High as glory!"

She was still young and unattractive.

Sooner or later, Janey couldn't hide it, and started a conflict with Rhaeny first, opening up the situation of polygamy in Targaryen.

A duchess personally promoted it, and Rhaegar conquered the Three Daughters Kingdom and counterattacked Dorne.

Even if it violates the unwritten rules set by great-grandfather and the Seven Gods Church, the Seven Gods Church does not dare to say anything.

If you marry more, you will recover sooner or later.

She just needs to wait and help at the right time, no problem.

certainly.

Her ambition is to be a Targaryen woman like Queen Visenya, who will not hide behind her back and enjoy the benefits.

The War of the Narrow Sea and the Dorne Rebellion, both wars had her contribution, and no one dared to underestimate her.

Hearing this, Emond roughly understood what she was thinking, and lowered his head in despair.

asshole!

I thought he was very smart, marrying into the Baratheon family and killing the Swann family.

Unexpectedly, his sister's ambition was greater than his.

He actually dared to fight Rhaenyra head-on and worked hard to become the queen.

With his eyes wide open, Emond Kabaka suddenly thought of little Darren who had been studying tirelessly and had been doted on since childhood.

"Is it true that Aegon is the only one who is useless?"

Aemond couldn't help but pity that fool Aegon.

Helena reached out and rubbed his head, imitating Rhaenyra's pampering feeling towards Rhaegar, and said dullly: "Go back quickly, don't think about this mess."

Aemond's face turned red.

Helena rubbed it for a while, stingyly retracted her hand, and said like coaxing a child: "Defend the city well, Stonehelm City will most likely give it to you."

Stonehelm City will become even more important in the future and has the potential to become a port.

Rhaegar wanted to entrust it to Aemond as appropriate.

"Sister~~"

Aemond couldn't bear to part with him and murmured coquettishly.

Helena ignored this, sighed and turned around to leave.

She had to go back and make the interview, and let Emond think about it.

Looking at Helena's back, Aemond was in a state of despair, and his unhappiness was almost etched on his forehead.

He began to regret it.

If I had known this, I would have squeezed out Aegon's priority, and he would follow the family tradition with his sister.

it's good now.

He was engaged to Cassandra, and Aegon seemed to be engaged as well.

"Three brothers, but I don't like any of them."

Aemond wiped the non-existent tears from the corner of his eyes and complained softly: "Mother is so confused, she covets the power of the Baratheon family and indulges that idiot Aegon."

Had he not been forced into an engagement, he would still have been free.

How could it be like now, when my sister fell into Rhaegar's arms.

Obviously she has three brothers.

Emond gritted his teeth: "I'm not any worse than others."

Turn around and walk outside.

The war is not over yet, he not only wants Stonehelm City, but also makes meritorious deeds to impress others.

…

Crimson Mountains.

This is a mountain range that runs east to west and separates Dorne from the Stormlands and the Reach.

The Crimson Mountains extend from the north-northeast to the southern part of the Stormlands, near Cape Wrath and Eagle's Nest in Shipbreaker Bay, and almost reach Storm's End.

In the southern part of the Dorne Frontier, there are many castles of the lords of the Frontier, such as Blackport City and Stonehelm City.

The mountains also extend northwest into the Reach.

The Tully family's fiefdom, Jiaoling, is located at the foot of the northwest mountain of the Red Mountain.

There are two main passes through the mountains, Prince's Pass and Bone Road.

At this time, a large number of ragged Dornish refugees poured into the Crimson Mountains, dividing into two groups and entering two passages.

Dorne is located in the tropics, and the climate has always been sultry.

It's midsummer, and the weather is even crueler. Those exposed to the sun will burn their skin, and the bumpy mountain roads will burn the soles of their feet.

Along the way, many old and weak people could not bear the heat and died in the wilderness.

The people around him took it for granted and took off the brown cloth of the corpse, rolled it up into a ball and put it in their arms.

The hotter the area, the greater the temperature difference between day and night.

At night in the mountains, the temperature can freeze to death.

One more piece of clothing means one more capital to survive.

Bone Road, also known as "Stone Road".

The entrance to this passage is located on the northern coast of Dorne and is guarded by the Yronwood family, known as the Guardians of the Stone Road.

The refugees passed through Yronwood City and headed north, passing through the Weir City of the Weir family and constantly approaching the distant Blackport City.

There were tens of thousands of people in the fleeing team, all with sallow complexions and thin skin, looking miserable as they had been short of food and clothing for a long time.

Their eyes were dull, staring at the long red road, hoping to reach the Dorne border through the Bone Road and obtain life-saving rations.

The harvest in Dorne was poor and the lords drove them out of the oasis.

Some people encouraged them to join the Crimson Mountains in order to find another way out.

On both sides of the team, a group of people with great contrast gathered.

Not to mention tall, he is by no means thin and weak.

Each one has a fierce look on his face, with a scimitar on his waist and a crossbow hidden behind his back.

Dozens of kilometers away from Black Harbor City, this group of people split up the fleeing team and quietly gathered together.

There were no more or less people, just five thousand people.

The five thousand people were broken into pieces, divided into five groups, and drilled into the intestines inside the bone road.

Compared with the Prince's Pass, which is known as the "Big Pass", the Bone Road has steep terrain and the path is dangerous and difficult to navigate.

There are many small intestine passages, but they are not passable by ordinary people.

In the open area, only three people can walk together.

In narrow places, one person has to climb carefully against the rock wall.

This is an alternative path known only to the people of Dorne in the Dorne frontier and within the mountains.

"Can we really bypass Blackport City by taking this road?"

A burly man with colorful hair who looked like a mercenary questioned.

"Save your strength, this road is not easy."

The person who answered him was a man with black hair and brown skin, with "a black snake biting the heel" engraved on his leather armor.

That's the crest of the Weir family.

The burly man snorted coldly: "I don't understand why you Dornish people think that you have to go to such a useless place."

If it weren't for the commission offered by Braavos that he couldn't refuse, he wouldn't be here even if he was killed.

This team of five hundred people was walking on a deep path squeezed between the rock walls on both sides.

The sturdy man complained, his shoulder brushed against the hot rock wall, and he cursed secretly: "On this kind of path, if the Dragon King's dragon comes, we will all become roasted suckling pigs."

The man from the Weir family paused and turned back to stare at him.

Don't tell me yet.

With this narrow path at our feet, the team of 500 people stretched out 500 meters in front and back, and they could not look at each other from the beginning to the end.

Once the giant dragon falls from the sky, a burst of dragon flames will burn it from beginning to end.

"What are you looking at?"

The burly man's skin got goosebumps when he saw it, and he became angry with embarrassment.

The man from the Weir family turned around and said displeasedly: "Shut up and say something lucky."

"Forehead……"

In the claustrophobic environment, a sense of uneasiness spread.

call--

Suddenly, a shadow flashed past, blocking the scorching sun.

"what!"

The burly man was horrified and crouched down quickly.

call--

As if hearing his shout, the shadow turned back again, forming a huge dragon shadow that enveloped the entire path.
