Chapter 477: Recall all Targaryens
Chapter 477 Recalling all Targaryens
Rhaegar suddenly understood.
The sea serpent's son died, and his hatred for Dorne reached its peak, and the evil anger in his heart has not yet been completely vented.
Clicking the knife and fork in his hands, Rhaegar murmured thoughtfully: "If the sea serpent doesn't agree, how long can the Velaryon family hold on?"
On the eve of the Siege of Myr, House Velaryon lost half of its warships.
Subsequently in the battles of Tyrossi and Lys, half of the remaining warships were again lost by 30%.
At present, the blockade of the Stepstone Islands and the control of the Greenblood River are still barely maintained by the Velaryon family's fleet and the royal army.
Of course, the Velaryon family also benefited a lot from the months-long war.
Plundered wealthy merchants in Lys and Tyrosh, intercepted cargo ships on the Stepstone Islands, and annexed private property in Plank Town and even Sunspear.
After miscellaneous calculations, most of the consumption will be recovered.
What’s more, the Three Women’s Kingdom will also reduce the Velaryon family’s port taxes in the future, and even share some rights in Lys.
But after Lanino was killed, the joy of the benefits emptied out.
The Sea Serpent lost its most important political asset, the only male heir who could fly with a dragon.
A sea snake is over 60 years old, how many more years does it have to live?
Once the war ceases, House Velaryon will immediately be plunged into the whirlpool of competition for heirs.
Viserys was silent after hearing this, thinking about the sea serpent's difficulty at this moment.
Without an heir, threats will only increase in vain.
Rhaegar weighed in his mind and pondered: "It is necessary to sign a peace treaty. It is a good thing for the kingdom to return to peace as soon as possible. It depends on whether both internal and external parties can obtain satisfactory conditions."
Internally speaking, Daemon occupied Tyrosh, and the Sea Serpents divided rights over Lys.
These two are almost obvious.
From the outside, the new Sea King is very sincere, working hard to restore the maritime trade of the Three Women Kingdom, and working with Prince Quill to dispel the ambitions of the rebels.
But things are much more than that.
Daemon may not be honest, and the sea snake will definitely stir up trouble for the heir.
Even within the Targaryens, father and daughter Allison and Otto were arrested, and how to appease their younger brothers and sisters was a big or small problem.
Not to mention Braavos, a merchant would never trade at a loss.
The two sides may be rambling on at the negotiating table.
Viserys automatically filtered the difficulty, and joy flashed in his eyes: "Do you also agree to sign the peace conditions?"
The War of the Narrow Sea was the beginning of it all, and now the disputed lands, including the lower half of the Narrow Sea, are included in the Iron Throne's territory.
The Dornish Rebellion experienced two rounds of Dragon's Wrath, with countless nobles killed and injured, and it has become dormant.
As a king and his body is getting weaker, I sincerely hope that the war will stop as soon as possible.
Achievements and honors are recorded in the family's brief history, giving them a brilliant posthumous name.
Rhaegar nodded: "Of course, Dorne is not worth wasting time. There are large areas of fertile land in the disputed land waiting to be developed."
“That’s good. When you are not in King’s Landing, I don’t know how many nobles and commoners secretly complain about the harm of war.”
Viserys felt a big stone fall in his heart, and a happy smile appeared on his lips.
Wars broke out one after another, and the nobles and common people were exhausted and found it difficult to be willing to do so.
Peace is the first element for smooth governance.
After thinking about it, Viserys suggested: "Rhaenys sent a letter to support peace, but the attitude of Daemon and the sea serpent is a problem after all. I plan to call them back to King's Landing to hold a family banquet."
Everyone sits at a table and talks things over in person.
"no problem."
Rhaegar agreed.
The war is basically over and there won’t be many changes.
The king's army is stationed at the Green Blood River, and several nephews of the Sea Serpent are commanding the troops in Sunspear, so they are not afraid of rebellion.
At the soaring speed of the dragon, even rebellion can be quickly resolved.
It’s time to hold a family meeting and tear down the fragile window paper.
Open the sky, speak out, and discuss a result that is acceptable to both parties.
Viserys’s smile grew brighter, he hugged Baerron and kissed him again and again, consuming a plate of roasted mutton and half a bottle of golden wine in one go.
Father and son had a good rapport, and the atmosphere of the luncheon reached a climax.
Aegon stepped on the floor with one foot, stepped on the chair with the other, and filled the bottle with wine.
Viserys smiled and clapped, exclaiming that he had the same style as before.
Rhaenyra looked helpless, busy taking care of her father and children, and missed the days when Allison was here.
At least her father doesn’t have to take care of her.
Rhaegar leaned back in his chair and watched with a smile.
Berron left his grandfather’s arms and crawled into his mother’s arms to act like a spoiled child, squealing for milk.
Rhaenyra had no choice but to wave the guards to retreat, and walked to a corner to breastfeed.
Little Eamonn was left on the dining table, with his little **** chrysalis, next to a roast suckling pig that was bigger than him.
“Little one, let me hug you.”
Helena’s eyes were shining and she reached out to greet her little nephew.
Rhaegar glanced at it and raised the corners of his mouth.
Helena was like a little child, kneeling on a chair with one leg, lying directly on the table with her whole body, and leaning forward with her other foot.
This is related to her character and prophecy talent.
She has a pure mind and has never received Allison's so-called ladylike education.
“Wow~”
Little Eamonn’s eyes widened, he opened his small mouth and bit the snout of the roasted suckling pig. However, he couldn’t bite it without teeth, and a lot of saliva flowed out.
Helena tilted her head, resting her cheeks on her hands, watching her nephew compete with the roasted suckling pig.
This is much more fun than teasing a baby dragon.
I will still talk in the future.
Rhaegar took a sip of the sweet fruit wine and admired the two children, one large and one small.
Suddenly, he thought that he seemed to have forgotten someone.
Look slightly sideways.
Eamond sat precariously, his one eye showing inexplicable emotions, watching Helena interact with little Eamond. “What are you thinking about?”
Rhaegar asked.
Aemond was slightly startled at first, as if he did not expect his elder brother to chat at this time, but he did not have any stage fright. He turned to look at him and asked generously: "Will you seal Stonehelm City to me?"
“You want a castle so urgently?”
Rhaegar shook the wine cup and asked with a smile.
His younger brother is getting deeper and deeper into the city. He is more sensible than Aegon, but not restrained enough.
Eamond nodded lightly and said bluntly: "I need a fiefdom and don't rely on others to gain a foothold."
After the baptism of several wars, my mind became more enlightened.
Hightower, his mother, and Aegon were all unreliable.
Helena is a girl, and little Darren is a younger brother, but he is a male heir who is about to become an adult.
In the large Targaryen family, Rhaegar could not protect all his relatives, and conflicts would always ensue.
Aemond considers himself a manly man, a Targaryen man with a backbone.
He can hold up the second banner and protect his mother and Aegon behind him.
Rhaegar stared at Aemond for a while, his expression gradually became more cautious, and he straightened his posture.
Eamond raised his head, his single eye bursting with strong confidence and ambition, and it was impossible to tell that he was an 11-year-old boy at all.
"You've grown up."
Rhaegar’s eyes were dim, and his tone was filled with sadness and a hint of relief.
The little milk baby that I once was has grown into a man who is upright and upright.
Aemond was not complacent. He lowered his head and thought deeply: "With my military exploits, I probably won't be able to capture a castle. I can patrol Dorne and continue to make achievements."
There are merits and demerits, and the merits and demerits balance out.
His military exploits are not as rich as those of Aegon and Helena, and he cannot settle for pleasure without making progress.
"Need not!"
Rhaegar slapped him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "There are only a few distant relatives left in the Siwen family. Stonehelm City is yours."
“Really?” Emond’s expression changed.
“A Targaryen keeps his word.”
Rhaegar clenched his palm into a fist and punched his chest, and encouraged: "Practice your martial arts and study well. When Lord Leonor leaves office, I will not allow you to become the Prime Minister.
“Hmmmm~!”
Aemond’s single eye shone brightly, and he nodded like garlic.
O Prime Minister!
When good uncle Damon was on the Imperial Council, his highest position was only the Minister of Justice, and he did not even touch the Prime Minister.
The brothers' conversation was not concealed, and others could hear it clearly.
Aegon's face turned red as he drank, and he snorted disdainfully. He angrily inserted a piece of beef into his mouth with a fork and chewed it hard.
Viserys was very happy. His eyes moved back and forth between his two sons, as if he saw his younger self and Daemon.
Ever since Aemond sacrificed his life to save his father, he has paid much more attention to his son.
Helena was still lying on the table, holding onto little Eamonn's short legs with both hands.
She dragged little Eamonn behind, and little Eamonn dragged behind him the suckling pig, and the suckling pig dragged the dinner plate.
Two children with equal IQs had a great time playing.
…
Time flies, half a month flies by.
Junlin, Mud Gate.
Civilians gathered on the pier, looking forward to the endless Blackwater Bay.
According to the latest gossip circulating in Flea Bottom.
Today is the day when the uncrowned Queen Rhaenys and the Prince of the Capital, Daemon, return to the palace.
The Velaryon family from Tideshead Island, the envoys from Sunspear, and the travelers from Braavos will all appear one by one.
Many vendors pushed carts and sold fresh fruits and oysters despite the hot sun.
This event, which happens rarely once a year, is a good opportunity for vendors to make a lot of money.
“Hiss!”
Suddenly, a loud dragon roar sounded, and in the clouds above Blackwater Bay, a scarlet dragon shadow flashed past.
Before the civilians could see clearly, the long white clouds were mixed into a ball, leaving only the gentle breeze.
“Hiss…”
Another sharp and harsh neighing sound suddenly appeared, with a strong sense of intimidation.
——
A huge creature as long as a snake and covered in scarlet swooped over the mud door, swept by scorching wind and waves, and flew toward Rhaenys Hills with its broad dark red wings.
Two giant dragons, one in front and one in back, appeared, which greatly met the expectations of the common people.
On the Blackwater Bay, a dozen ships slowly sailed in, half of them flying the green seahorse flag of House Velaryon.
The sea snake Corliss's face was gloomy, standing alone on the deck, holding the railing of the ship tightly with his hands.
He glanced sideways at the large ships with purple shells, sun-piercing spears and other flags behind the fleet, and the coldness in his eyes almost turned into ice slag.
“Damn Braavos, **** Martell!”
The sea snake's voice was low, and his knuckles turned white as he looked at the majestic red castle built along the coast.
Family meeting?
Then let’s see what we can come up with.
…
Red Castle, the main door of the church.
Rhaegar sat on the edge of the flower bed, looking up at the two giant red dragons flying above his head.
“It’s so annoying!”
Aegon suddenly walked out of the sept, scratching his hair and cursing.
Rhaegar glanced at it and asked, "What did Allison say?"
