#334 - King Dragon Knight
Jed Orlins roared, took two steps back, and looked unkindly at the white dragon that knocked him away.
The White Queen.
This is a young white dragon, born during the reign of Aegon II. It is not as big and ferocious as Jed Orinth, but it is also a young, agile and strong dragon, growing every day.
Garin Hewen slowly straightened up on the dragon's back and let out a long breath.
It seems that the intelligence was correct.
Among the existing wild dragons of the Targaryen family, the Sheep Thief, the Gray Shadow, and the Jade Orinth are the most brutal, while the White Queen is the most docile and closest to humans. It doesn't even reject the dragon guards guarding the dragon cave.
Of course, that's only if you don't swallow them immediately as food.
Indeed, after Garin approached the White Queen, the white dragon allowed Garin to climb onto its body and establish a connection with it with almost no resistance.
Probably because of Gelin's bloodline.
It could also be because of the White Queen’s docility.
Anyway, his dragon taming went smoothly.
At this moment, the giant dragon "Unicorn" beside it suddenly struggled violently. It tried to take off, but was unable to do so due to its location and the situation in the dragon's lair. It tried to struggle to throw the little guy off its back, but unexpectedly, the little guy held on tighter and tighter. There was no sign of falling off.
Benson Storm.
His mother was from the Pangloss family, a great noble family in Stormland. Stormland immediately declined after the Borderland was separated, and the former great nobles of Stormland no longer had the glory they once had in the storm-covered land and dominated the three rivers of the River Bay.
The Stone Steps Archipelago only eased the contradiction of Stormland being cut in half, but did not solve the problem.
The conquered land only absorbed some of the impoverished Stormland nobles, but it did not solve the problem of the shrinking land of Stormland and the declining status of the Stormland nobles in the aristocratic circle of the kingdom.
The Penrose family had also declined, and it was with the help of Benson's mother that his uncle was able to obtain the position in King's Landing and subsidize the family that was already running at a loss. His grandfather was still a guest of honor of the Duke of Baratheon.
But Benson's mother's untimely death and Benson's stubborn black hair changed everything.
The Penroses both loathed and depended on him.
This has made the young man's life miserable for many years.
Until the opportunity comes.
He was different from other noble bastards, and spoke a language quite similar to that of Garin Rivers.
He longs to escape from the Storm and the Penrose family by taming the dragon.
He succeeded.
As an impure wild dragon, the unicorn does not have much resistance to humans. After discovering that it could not get rid of the little guy on its back, it actually happily accepted the current situation of having a little guy on its back.
Benson Storm soon heard the voice from his heart. The dragon under his crotch stopped struggling and went wild.
Instead, it became docile and seemed able to communicate.
It was not until this time that Syrax and Haiyan slowly crawled out and held down the eager Jed Orins.
Outside the dragon's lair, the Targaryen dragon riders surrounding the dragon's lair slowly landed into the dragon's lair.
"Hiss~"
Looking at the charred corpses on the ground in the dragon's lair, Wallis seemed to recall some bad memories and couldn't help but turn his head away and stop looking at the scene.
“How many people died?”
Ilion looked at his brother and the king expressionlessly.
Aegon looked into the field and sighed.
"Only three survived, Harry. You're too cautious."
Harry walked out of the cave with a smile on his face.
"Your Majesty, I know my bloodline cannot control a dragon, so I offer my brain and loyalty."
Aegon couldn't help but shake his head.
Harry's talents do matter.
But the royal family does not lack a finance minister, what it lacks is a dragon knight.
What a pity.
He looked at the two new dragon knights with sharp eyes.
"Gailin, good job." He glanced at the White Queen and recognized the dragon. He couldn't help but feel sorry for it.
Unfortunately, this dragon is too docile.
I guess I’ll suffer a loss in the dragon fight.
What a pity.
"My loyalty is to yours, Your Majesty."
Garin said respectfully as he jumped off the dragon's back.
"And you, you are."
Aegon looked at Benson who was climbing down from the unicorn's back in a panic. He knew that this was his son, but he didn't know what the child's name was.
"Benson, Your Majesty, my name is Benson."
"Oh, I remember now. Your mother is from the Penrose family, right? Is Earl Penrose in good health?"
"Your Majesty, Grandfather is still strong."
"That's good, haha."
Aegon laughed, then immediately dropped his smile.
"Benson, Garin, congratulations, you have proven your bloodline."
He looked at the two people kneeling on one knee, slowly walked up to them, and drew out the Blackfire Sword.
"Now, I will grant you new surnames and enthrone you as the King's Dragon Knights. Now follow me and swear an oath."
The king rested the Blackfyre sword on Garin's shoulders.
"I will obey your will, Your Majesty."
Aegon was very satisfied with Garen's cooperation.
"I swear in the name of the Seven Gods and the blood of Targaryen that my dragon and I will forever fight for the royal family that gave me the dragon, lead the way for the true king, shed blood for the true king, and my descendants will continue to be born from me. If I break this oath, I will be struck by the sword and my descendants will be cut off."
The two new dragon riders both loudly followed Aegon's oath.
"I grant you the surname 'Dragonheart', which comes from the nickname of the previous king and represents the people's respect for the royal family. From today on, you will be named 'Dragonheart' and be among my royal dragon knights."
In the cave where Harry had just been hiding.
Gaimon and Aegor quietly poked their heads out.
"Harry must have discovered us just now." Gaimon said worriedly: "Egg, why don't we give up? So many people went in, but only three survived."
"Gaimon, don't be afraid." Iger was a little excited: "Harry won't betray us. Besides, Gaimon, as long as we ride the dragon, not only will we be recognized by our father, but we will also become the Dragon King praised by everyone. The common people will give everything for this opportunity. What reason do we have not to fight for it?"
"Aegor, which dragon do you like?"
Aegor looked ambitiously into the depths of the dragon's lair.
He picked out the sheep thief.
That old peat-colored dragon.
Suddenly, a plan popped up in Iger's little head.
Dragon's Nest City.
Igor looked at the information sent by Shadow Finger and couldn't help laughing.
"Why, my dear brother."
Daenerys leaned against the door with a smile on her face, watching her busy brother.
"Did that fat maggot's bastard dragon rider plan succeed or fail? I heard that two brand new dragons were seen taking to the sky in King's Landing?"
“It worked.”
Igor smiled and said, "The royal family had two more dragon knights, but they also failed."
