Ice and Fire: Reign of the Dragon

"You mean, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked about the songs of the disputed land? What are they?" Viserys already had a guess in his mind. Daeron, maybe he wants to imitate Baratheon.

King Aegon has gradually transferred power to his eldest son, and he is focusing on living a warm family life with Queen Samantha. From this point of view, as long as Crown Prince Daeron does not go too far, King Aegon will not interfere.

Old Rigo recalled the ballad that Crown Prince Daeron requested from him. His brain was not too old to remember things, so he was naturally familiar with the requests of a crown prince.

The more Viserys listened, the more silent he became. The content of these ballads included, but was not limited to, the melee between the Third Daughter and Volantis around the disputed land - these battle ballads included descriptions of the military level of the city-states involved, as well as the disputes. Local people, description of local terrain. After the disputed land was completely reduced to a lordless land, the legend of the mercenary groups, warlords, thugs, and dictators who wreaked havoc on this land.

What does Darren need these things for?

He shouldn't want to take action on the disputed area.

Viserys' face finally darkened.

at the same time.

Dragon's Nest City, Twin Towers, Ringor and Daniela's room.

The couple attached great importance to their lost child. Since Daniela became pregnant again, Ringor even moved his office from the narrow hall that originally belonged to him to the bedroom next to the room that originally belonged to the servants. In order to be able to take care of his wife and children at any time, even though Long Zell told him many times that this birth would be safe, he still felt uneasy.

After all, it was too thrilling last time. If her father hadn't found out in time, then not only the child who was destined to die in Daniela's belly might have died, but also Daniela herself.

"Xiaojie, Dan, Orion, here is the information about the disputed area." Ringol placed several thick books that he had just sorted out in front of his brothers.

"Brother, did you suddenly summon us just for this information?" Jakaris realized something was wrong. There was no need for any code words between their brothers. In Dragon's Nest City, there were no secrets between them.

"Of course not." Ringor opened his own copy.

"Jie, it's Hegon's information. Crown Prince Daeron has begun to collect information on the disputed land." Dan knew more about these things. "Uncle suspects that Crown Prince Daeron is planning to take action on the disputed land."

"Is he crazy?" Orion, who had been silent all this time, frowned: "Doesn't he know that it is not easy to get involved in the disputes in the Eastern Continent at will, even if we have dragons?"

Ringol raised his hand and motioned to his brothers to keep their voices down and not to disturb Daniela's rest, and not to get too excited. Darren was not stupid, and he would not be stupid enough to act rashly without any preparation.

However, collecting information proved that Darren did have that idea.

"The disputed land is indeed a piece of fat." Ringor analyzed to his brothers: "In the past, those who competed for this land were Volantis, Lys, Myr, Tyrosh, Pentos and Braavor. Si will also get involved, but Pentos has been almost conquered by Braavos, and Braavos is far less interested in the land in the south than in a stable and safe sea route."

He lowered his voice and continued:

"This land is flat and vast. Although it has been devastated in the past wars, it still has great wealth and abundant resources. Now, Lys has become a vassal of the kingdom, Myr is almost disabled, and Tyrosh is ours. The only external threat to the disputed land is Volantis, which has been in decline for a long time."

He looked around at his brothers: "Do you think Volantis is scary?"

The brothers smiled tacitly.

"Okay, okay." Lingol stopped his brothers from laughing: "The disputed area is now very chaotic. Hundreds of warlords, mercenary groups, princes, and mayors are fighting there. I need you to do a lot. Simple, understand these and what’s going on between them.”

"Then what?" Jakaris became interested.

"Just wait and see what happens."

"Oh." Jakaris's newly raised interest dropped again.

"The kingdom has enjoyed peace and prosperity for too long."

Ringol said with emotion:

"People hate war, but they long for war. Of course, everyone knows this, but war cannot be fought within the kingdom."

Ringol has been in charge of the politics of the Border Princedom for so many years, and he knows this very well. The peace and prosperity of Westeros for more than thirty years have brought more than just harvests and wealth.

There are almost two generations left.

The booming population requires land, which is not a big problem. There is still a lot of land available for cultivation in Westeros.

But what about the surging aristocratic population?

They long for titles, they long for land, they long for wealth. But their parents could not give them this.

Everything in the family belongs to the eldest son.

If the second son and the youngest son do not act as the right-hand man of the eldest son, then their only way out is to wander around with their own horses and swords.

But there has been peace for too long.

Two entire generations were born and grew up in midsummer and peace. They have never seen war or bloodshed, and their martial arts can only be displayed on the competition field.

The kingdom needs to release the energy of these second sons and youngest sons who have nowhere to put it.

The Stepstones War was an outlet.

But the Stone Steps Islands were too small, and the stag did not have enough to eat. In fact, what the stag gained was not as good as what it paid for. Instead, Duke Royce, who succeeded him, paid a heavy price and was saddled with huge debts.

The loss outweighs the gain.

"What can the Vareses family do, brother?" Dan looked at his brothers and said calmly.

"Be prepared for everything." Ringol spread his hands. "There will be silver dragons in the disputed lands, but not from the beginning. Hegen has sent our snakes to plant our nails in the disputed lands. We have also sent ravens to the Chamber of Commerce and workshops in Lys. What we need to do now is to know everything."

Ringol's eyes were cast into the distance.

"I hope our lovely nephew is wise enough."

At this moment, Danyla's voice came from the bedroom, followed by Daenerys's anxious call.

"Ringol, Ringol, come, come."

"Dad, come!"

Ringol nodded, signaled his brothers to do as he arranged, and rushed into the bedroom in a hurry.

Seeing that Danyla was fine, Ringol was relieved.

Daenerys hurried to her father: "Dad, it was so scary when mom suddenly woke up just now. Mom seemed to have seen something strange."

Lingol suddenly became alert and waved his hand to let the faceless man Sage who was guarding nearby come in.

"Don't bother Brother Sage." Danyla touched her chest with some shock: "I dreamed of something special."

Lingol seemed to think of something. Before he ended the expedition, the three-eyed crow symbolizing the sacrifice of the old gods told him that their reward would come in fifteen years.

He originally thought that this would be the blood of his family, but unfortunately it was not.

There is only one possibility, that the reward was just born at the promised moment and is growing.

But what does this have to do with his wife?

"What did you dream about, Danyla."

"I dreamed of our son. I couldn't see his face clearly. He stood in the shadows, wearing his father's crown, and behind him was a silver dragon bigger than the sky."

Daniela slowly described her dream.
