Chapter 43: Return

　　 Wow!

　　 The warship broke through the calm sea and sailed quietly under the afternoon sun.

　　 The sea after the storm is quiet like a dignified girl, the smooth mirror-like sea surface is set against the golden sunshine, and the gentle sea breeze gently brushes the boy's cheek like a girl's bare hands.

　　 Veserys was still standing on the highest deck of the Black Death, feeling gentle touches against the sea breeze, silver-gold curly hair fluttering in the wind, and quietness written on his cute little face.

　　 This is the first time since he came into this world, he slightly let go of some of his previously hanging hearts.

　　Different from the previous enlightenment of the old bachelor, this time Veserys really felt that the sense of crisis that had been on his back was temporarily relieved a lot.

　　 At least after this battle, the immediate threat was temporarily relieved, allowing him to breathe a sigh of relief and have more breathing space.

　　 "It's almost on Longshi Island."

　　 And at this moment.

　　 There were cheers from the soldiers on the lower deck. It turned out that they saw the familiar island and knew that they were not far from returning home.

　　 In fact, among the soldiers in this fleet, there are not many people on Dragon Stone Island, mainly the kings near King’s Landing, and most of the soldiers are recruited here.

　　 There are even some from other regions, such as the West, High Court, Stormlands, etc., including some mercenaries on the east continent across the narrow sea.

　　 For these soldiers, the concept of home has long been blurred.

　　 They are all poor people. Born in this era, as long as they are not aristocrats, it is almost difficult to get ahead. Being tall and strong to be soldiers is already a good way out.

　　 At least they can rob others without worrying that the bandits dare to attack them.

　　 For example, if you want to be a golden robe in King's Landing, you not only have requirements for physical fitness, but you also need to spend a lot of money for civilians to bribe recruiters.

　　 And now the soldiers cheered that they finally returned to Longshi Island. This time the war has survived smoothly, and living on the ship for a long time will be numb. They are eager to return to land.

　　 In fact, Veselis was a little bit excited, and this was clearly revealed in the beautiful lavender eyes.

　　 Then the silver-haired boy held on to the railing and turned his head to look to the other side.

　　According to the nautical chart, the fleet is passing by the side of the sharp corner, passing through the throat, which is one of the main sea routes between the East Continent and Westeros.

　　 "Over there...is Tidehead Island?"

　　 Veserys stood on the deck, holding on to the railing with his immature little hands, looking at the outline of the island that appeared on the sea level in the distance.

　　 then turned his head and asked the soldiers around him curiously.

　　 "Yes, Your Highness."

　　 A black-haired soldier wearing a leather armor with a long sword hanging from his waist, and some plump-looking, naïve-looking black-haired soldier nodded quickly.

　　 Now the old knight is resting in the cabin, and next to Veserys is a clerical officer who is responsible for handling paperwork beside him.

　　 The old jazz replaced the former guards. Now the chubby officer is responsible for protecting Viselis and answering some questions for Viselis.

　　 I don't know what kind of consideration the old Sir made for this arrangement.

　　 Maybe the guard was incompetent at the time, or maybe Visiris had a lot of problems.

　　 Now appearing in the fleet's field of vision is the outline of an island, and the soldiers cheered because they saw it.

　　Before we set off, because of the approaching storm, the visibility on the sea was very low, and Viselis did not see the island close at hand.

　　 But he also knows the other person's name.

　　 Tidehead Island.

　　 Tidehead Island was supposed to be a subject of the Duke of Longshi Island. The owner of this island is the Valerian family who also has Valyrian blood.

　　 used to have a close relationship with the Targaryen family and married frequently, but this relationship did not continue after Aegon III.

　　 The Valerian family used to be one of the overlords on the Westeros Sea, but suffered a heavy blow during the "Dancing of the Blood Dragon" period, and finally gradually declined.

　　 These were all explained to Weselis by the former Daniel Bachelor. The old bachelor asked Weselis to read the family history of each family and remember their clan emblems and mottos.

　　 And now.

　　 The Valerian family apparently did not take refuge in the usurper, but at the same time they also refused the call of Dragon Stone Island, and seemed to be watching from the sidelines.

　　 Viselis remembered that when he and his mother first came to Dragonstone Island, Queen Layla had summoned all the subjects of Dragonstone Island, and in fact no one responded to Queen Layla's call.

　　 Although Chaotou Island is very close to Longshi Island, there is no response at all, as if I didn't hear it or saw it.

　　 Veserys certainly understood the choice of this distant relative.

　　 But while expressing his understanding, he must also be careful about possible backlash from this neighbor.

　　 "Valelian also has a fleet."

　　 And at this moment.

　　 A voice came from behind Veserys and the secretary.

　　 Old Sir came out of the cabin~www.NovelMTL.com~ He heard the conversation between two people, and the two on the deck also turned their heads.

　　 "Morford Valerian is also a warlike man."

　　 Sir Jeffrey’s gray hair fluttered, and there were some age spots on his vicissitudes of cheeks, and he held his belt with one hand and looked into the distance.

　　 "But unfortunately the fleet may have been buried in the sea, and Earl Morford also lost his courage."

　　 Viselis could hear the faint sarcasm in the old population. He was a little curious, but he didn't go into the question.

　　 This unprecedented storm destroyed any ships that appeared on this sea area, even if it was just a piece of wood, and even many islands were submerged by the tsunami.

　　 The words of the old jazz also told Viselis not to worry about the Valerian family. He seemed to hear that there was something in Viselis's words.

　　 Targaryen's fleet passed by the Tidalhead Island but did not land or say hello, but it shocked the people on the island.

　　 Veselis was standing on the deck at the nearest place to the island, and finally saw the panicked figures of the frightened people on the castle. The heads were crowded and they seemed to be looking in this direction.

　　They were afraid that the Targaryen fleet would plunder Tidalhead Island because of their silent behavior.

　　 But neither Sir Jeffrey nor Wesiris had such plans.

　　 The fleet posted so close by the Tidehead Island, in fact, it is only carrying the mighty victory to warn the people on the island that are unpredictable.

　　 It is best to choose carefully.

　　 Then the Targaryen fleet sailed into the distance.

　　 Chaotou Island is very close to Longshi Island, even less than 30 nautical miles.

　　 Less than half a day.

　　 As the sun sets, the fleet finally broke through the red clouds on the sea and returned to Longshi Island.
