Ice and Fire: Reign of the Dragon

After getting the tacit consent of Prince Viserys, Daeron took Aemon to see King Aegon happily.

It went very smoothly. King Aegon did not raise any objections. He just watched Daeron and Aemon return to their respective guest rooms arm in arm.

It was not until the two boys left the room that Samantha walked to King Aegon in a light silk dress.

"You shouldn't have acquiesced, dear." Samantha looked at King Aegon quietly: "In the dragon cave in King's Landing, there are two of us guarding, and there is Corax. Whether they want to tame Syrax or Dreamfire, we are sure to protect them, but the wild dragons on Dragonstone"

Samantha recalled the wild dragons on Dragonstone. "Sea Smoke and Sheep Thief have a record of hurting people, Gray Shadow. I don't think they can find Gray Shadow."

"Dear, I can't stop them." King Aegon was naturally very clear about this matter. "Aemon's failure to tame Corax was something neither you nor I expected. Rhaegar is also growing up, and the girls also need dragons. More importantly, the Targaryen family needs dragons."

"I know." Samantha sat on the bed calmly: "When I return to King's Landing, I will take them to Dragonstone."

King Aegon's hand, which was about to pour a glass of hot wine, suddenly stopped.

"They need at least one dragon to look after them." Samantha explained: "Terrex is not big enough. Wild dragons are cunning and timid. They are afraid of the fire because the fire is big, strange and strong. But if there is only Tyrex, the children are still not safe."

"I will go too." King Aegon thought for a while and took a sip of hot wine.

"You can't go." Samantha's answer was even faster than King Aegon's: "You are the king, your battlefield is in King's Landing. Besides, Stormcloud is also a big dragon."

Samantha analyzed carefully: "If Stormcloud, Fire and Tyrex were all there, according to the information sent back by the Dragon Guards of Dragonstone, the cunning dragon Sheep Thief would definitely avoid us, and Sea Smoke would not choose to entangle with the three dragons. As for Gray Shadow, I believe that when our dragons took off from King's Landing and Tidehead Island, it had already avoided us far away."

"Okay." King Aegon thought about it and it was indeed the truth. He said sincerely: "Thank you for your hard work, Samantha."

Samantha nodded and slowly lay down on the bed.

Time passed quickly. As the royal family left Dragon's Nest, the Borderland Prince Territory returned to peace again. When leaving, Prince Aegon and Prince Aemon did not follow Viserys westward to return to Oldtown, but followed the king and queen's wheelhouse north to King's Landing.

Tidehead Island

The fire quietly passed through the waves and clouds of Blackwater Bay, and flew around the clouds covering Tidehead Island.

Outside the city of Tide, Tyrexhu, who lived in the stables of Tidehead City, suddenly raised his head.

It smelled the scent of its own kind, not Haiyan who often came to Tidehead Island, but another dragon.

Tyrexhu stretched his neck, and the long dragon roar awakened the white castle. The first person to react was Adam, who was training in the courtyard with his child. Not long after he married into the Velaryon family, he and his wife gave birth to a lively and active boy. Fortunately, the boy had a standard Valyrian appearance, which also shut up the remaining coveters of the Velaryon family.

Of course, it was not only because he had a child with a standard Valyrian appearance, but also because of his and Alyn's military exploits. In the war of the Baratheon family to conquer the Stepstones, Adam and Alyn performed well. Adam was nicknamed "Pirate Destroyer", and Alyn was called "Oak Fist" by the world for his bold behavior of leading his ship to smash the enemy ship.

After frequent naval battles in the Stepstones, the Royal Fleet was completely transformed into an experienced and powerful army. Adam and Alyn, who held important positions in the Royal Fleet, naturally had many supporters.

Even including several branches of the Velaryon family. They wholeheartedly supported Adam and his children's inheritance rights, of course, not only because of Adam's military exploits and abilities.

It was also because of a widely spread rumor.

Adam and Alyn were the illegitimate children of the sea snake, of course, it could also be the illegitimate children of Lord Joffrey's father, Sir Lannino.

Surprisingly, Lord Joffrey did not interfere with the spread of the rumor, and seemed to have tacitly agreed to it, but it was also because of Lord Joffrey's ambiguous attitude and his dragon.

People finally did not let this "rumor" ferment.

Alyn also married a wife shortly after Adam married into the family.

It was no one else, but the daughter of Sir "Iron Hammer" Shufu, who was his and Adam's playmate when they were young.

Shufu, who was getting old, no longer served in the Blacksmith Guild of Midsummer Hall and the City Guard. Instead, he received a salary from Dragon's Nest and spent his old age in Midsummer Hall.

"Terrexhu, what's wrong?" Adam asked in High Valyrian. He and his brother learned this language from their stepfather. Although they didn't speak it well and had a strong accent, they were already fluent.

Adam actually knew about the rumor. He asked his mother, but his mother didn't answer him directly. After marrying his wife, he also asked Lord Joffrey, who was even several years younger than him.

Joffrey did not answer him directly, but Adam knew that in many cases, not answering was also a form of acquiescence.

Especially when he was with Tyrex and met Haiyan who flew to Tide Head Island, Adam could clearly feel the dragon's friendliness towards him.

From that time on, he probably guessed the whole story, so Adam's love for his young wife, who was old enough to be his daughter, was well-known throughout the Tidehead Island.

He was also well-known for being strict with his son.

Tyrex stared at the sky and ignored Adam, who immediately realized what had happened.

"Reg, go find your grandfather and tell him that a strange dragon has come to Tidehead Island." Adam signaled his son Reg Velaryon to find Joffrey, and he loudly summoned the High Tide City guards who were practicing in the training ground.

"Archers ready! Scorpion crossbows ready!"

It seemed that they were no longer unfamiliar with the visit of the dragon. The guards of High Tide City acted very quickly. Even when Adam just waved, the crossbowmen had already prepared arrows, and the guards on duty on the city wall received the signal and began to operate the scorpion crossbows.

Rhaeg had just run a few steps when he stopped moving. The boy turned around and said helplessly, "Father, grandpa is here."

Joffrey strode to Tyrexu, touched the body of the purple dragon, and said.

"Adam, don't be impulsive." He signaled the crossbowmen who were ready to go to put down their crossbows. "It's Her Majesty the Queen and the Fire."

"What is Her Majesty doing at Tidehead?"

Adam's attitude changed suddenly. He had always been very respectful to the Vareses family. When he heard the phrase "Her Majesty the Queen", Adam relaxed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Dragon taming."

Adam looked at his father-in-law in some surprise. Dragon taming? What dragon taming? Doesn't Her Majesty the Queen have her own dragon?

"It's the three princes." Joffrey looked at the sky and said calmly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Prince Aegon and Prince Aemon plan to tame the wild dragons on Dragonstone. They need to confirm whether Sea Smoke has stayed on Tidehead."

"No, I can be sure of that." Adam said firmly.

As soon as the voice fell. The fire penetrated the clouds and slowly landed in the courtyard of Climax City.

Tyrekexiu looked at the fire that was slowly landing after being cushioned by the tentacles, and couldn't help but take a deep breath, turned his head and hugged himself tightly.

There was a three-person dragon saddle on the fire, Samantha sat in the front, and Prince Daeron and Prince Aemon sat in the back.

The two princes climbed down the ladder first.

"Isn't Prince Aegon here?" Joffrey asked in confusion.

Daeron wanted to say something, but was stopped by Aemon. "Uncle, my brother chose to choose a dragon to tame in King's Landing, and my father is accompanying him to tame the dragon."

"Oh." Joffrey nodded. His attitude towards Prince Aegon was neither like nor hate. He mainly disliked Prince Aegon's characteristic of being lustful, but apart from lust, Prince Aegon did not have too many shortcomings.

So Joffrey couldn't hate him either.

But the optimistic and impulsive Daeron, and the calm, chivalrous, and polite Aemon, all made Joffrey praise the Seven Gods from the bottom of his heart for giving his brothers such excellent children.

"Are you sure you want to tame Sheep Stealer and Sea Smoke?"

Daeron nodded: "I am sure, uncle, these two adult dragons that should have belonged to Targaryen have been wild for too long. We need to let them return to the dragon group, and we also need to let people know."

"Targaryen is also a real dragon." Aemon took over Daeron's words: "We can also tame real dragons."

"Good." Joffrey clapped his hands: "This is a good child of the family. Your Majesty, you..."

"I will follow them." Samantha said calmly: "Joffrey, I also hope to invite you to go with us." "Okay." Joffrey agreed without hesitation.

"Haiyan is not on Tidehead Island, Your Majesty." Adam said at the right time: "Its range of activities is generally near the cliffs on the west side of Dragonstone Island, if it does not come to Tidehead Island."

"Thank you, Adam." Samantha still remembered Adam, which surprised the fleet governor of the royal fleet.

But the surprise was only for this time.

The few people had no intention of staying in Tidehead City. After knowing that Haiyan was not on Tidehead Island, the two dragons immediately took off and headed for Dragonstone Island.

They were very lucky.

"Mother, is that Haiyan?"

Daeron was the first to see Haiyan hunting manta rays on the sea. When the prince discovered this gorgeous beast, it also smelled the smell of the same kind at almost the same time.

"Roar!"

Haiyan threw away the manta ray that had just been caught in its mouth and let out a deafening roar. When it was about to meet it, it found that it was greeted by two dragons.

Terekshu fell from the sky. Under normal circumstances, Haiyan didn't even need to do anything extra to deal with this dragon that was much smaller than her. She could easily tear Terekshu's wings.

But it was different now. Opposite her was Huohuo, who had already spread his tentacles.

The gray dragon flame left a long trace in the dark blue sky. Haiyan dodged Huohuo's dragon flame, but was severely whipped by a tentacle.

Haiyan was furious. But she could only flap her wings a few times to quickly distance herself from Huohuo.

She was also afraid of being entangled by Huohuo's tentacles.

But Terekshu above her made it impossible for her to deal with Huohuo with peace of mind. She could only roar with hatred and turn around to fly towards Dragonstone.

Boom.

The dragon landed, and Terexiu and Zhuan Huo also landed almost at the same time. Daeron and Aemon didn't waste a moment and slid directly down the wings from the back of Yan Huo, who had not yet stopped.

"Hai Yan, we have no intention of becoming your enemy."

Samantha's High Valyrian was gentle, but everyone, even the dragons, could hear the coldness in the gentleness.

"Same kind. Leave or you will be burned." Haiyan roared, conveying a meaning that only dragons who were also giant dragons could understand.

But it's a pity that as long as the fire is there, it's of no use.

Zhuanhuo roared and fought back. Terexiu leaned next to Zhuanhuo and roared loudly. Golden-red light flickered in the purple dragon's throat.

Although it doesn't have the size of a fire or a sea smoke, it can still show off its majesty with the fire.

"Haiyan, calm down," Samantha continued. "You need companions. True dragons need companions."

Daeron motioned to Aemon to try it.

Aemon nodded, straightened his back, and walked over step by step. He looked at Haiyan without fear.

The flames can already be seen in the throat of the furious Haiyan, and it has even spit out a dragon flame, but it seems that Haiyan also knows that if this dragon flame really hits Aemon, it will not be able to fall. .

So this dragon flame did not hurt Aemon in the end.

"Hai Yan, look at me."

Aemon looked at Haiyan and walked up step by step.

Only then did Hai Yan finally look squarely at this tiny human being.

"roar!"

Haiyan roared threateningly again.

But Aemon didn't seem to hear it and continued walking towards Haiyan.

In the end, the sea smoke did not spit out dragon flames. It lowered its head slightly and looked at Aemon who had already walked to it.

Aemon raised his head and looked at the silver-gray dragon with its head hanging down.

"Sea smoke," Aemon said in High Valyrian: "Do you accept me?"

Haiyan seemed to understand what Aemon was saying. It glanced at Aemon coldly, then glanced around Zhuanhuo and Terexiu, snorted, and slowly approached Aemon with its huge dragon head.

Heat rushed to his face, but Aemon didn't move.

He seemed to hear Haiyan's response.

How virtuous and capable are you to be my friend?

Aemon stared into Haiyan's eyes: "I am Aemon, Haiyan, and my dream is to become a real knight." He slowly stretched out his hand and put it on Haiyan's nose.

"loyalty."

His hand slowly went down Haiyan's nose and moved slowly towards the back. "mercy."

Haiyan did not move, and its head slowly turned in the direction of Aemon's movement.

"Humility, honor, spirituality."

Aemon grabbed the iron chain hanging from Haiyan's dilapidated dragon saddle.

A normal dragon saddle is made of dragon bones, scales shed by dragons, and the remains left by dead dragons, and is almost indestructible. However, the Velaryon family did not have such conditions back then, so they could only settle for the next best thing. Use only second-class materials.

Therefore, the quality of Haiyan's dragon saddle is very poor, but the problem of supporting the riding is still not big.

"Just, honest, brave."

Aemon grabbed the chain and jumped onto Haiyan's back.

The dragon's eyes looked at Aemon coldly. It did not struggle, and the light of dragon flames did not light up in its throat.

Daeron and Joffrey breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, but Samantha was still a little nervous, ready to rescue Aemon at any time.

"This is my answer to you, Haiyan."

Aemon closed his eyes calmly.

Hai Yan stared at Aemon, slowly turned the dragon's head, and roared at Zhuo Huo and Terexiu.

Samantha finally smiled and let go of her hand.

Nearly forty years have passed. The magnificent silver-grey beast returns to the Targaryen dragons.

Haiyan welcomed its second rider.

Aemon Targaryen.
