Ice and Fire: Reign of the Dragon

Chapter 24 Imperial Conference

Dragonstone.

The salty sea breeze blew across the long bridge of the castle. Rhaenyra couldn't help but tremble, but she still stood firm with the help of the maid with her big belly. The princess looked in the direction of Tidal Head Island, where there were two black spots. Flying towards the castle at high speed.

"Your Highness, the wind is too strong outside, look at it," the maid asked worriedly.

Rhaenyra shook her head firmly. "I can't stay away from such a big thing, and I won't wait for Dimon to bring me the results."

She said in her heart: "This is the responsibility of the ruler."

Colak's fin-like hind limbs slapped the rough sea surface, and with a roar, his slender body flew to the top of the cliff and landed steadily on the long bridge. The Red Queen arrived a little earlier and circled over Dragonstone before landing on the other side of the long bridge. The two dragon knights landed firmly. The disgraced Rhaenys hurriedly ran a few steps to help Rhaenyra.

The old princess looked at the maid accusingly, but was stopped by Rhaenyra. She shook her head, indicating not to blame the maid. "I asked her to take me to wait for you."

The princess looked at Damon, who was walking over with his head lowered. "Why didn't you tell me about it right away."

"You need to rest, honey." Damon rubbed his hands into a ball.

"I'm just pregnant, not dead." Rhaenyra moved to Daemon's side with the support of the old princess and the maid. "A new Dragon King family has risen, but we haven't been able to completely defeat each other yet. You know what that means."

"The Targaryens are no longer the only dragons in the world."

Damon nodded to the maid, took his wife's arm, and naturally supported her.

"And what they have is Vermithor and Silverwing, two old dragons who most likely gained power we don't know about in the ruins of Valyria." Rhaenyra looked into her husband's eyes and continued.

"How do you know?"

Daemon was stunned. He remembered that the ruins of Valyria were not mentioned in the letter.

"I study." Rhaenyra rolled her eyes at Daemon. "Even if Dragonzel Vareses mastered the mysterious power, he would not have been able to summon the dragon without the blessing of the ruins of Valyria. If magic worked, we would not have been able to monopolize the dragon for so many years."

"What do you think, Rhaenyra?" Rhaenys asked.

Rhaenyra looked at the two. "Can Melias and Colaxiu guarantee to kill Vermisor and Silver Wing? There is also the huge fleet of the Vareses family."

Rhaenys shook her head. "We can't guarantee that the two old dragons that came out of the ruins will still be the same, so if we fight, there is a high probability that we can kill Silver Wing, but Melias and Colakxiu may also die."

"We cannot afford to fail," Dimon said. "So I plan to negotiate."

"You want to win them over?"

Rhaenyra looked at Daemon in disbelief.

"Essos cannot tolerate a dragon king family with a dragon." Daemon said while supporting his wife. "Volantis will be divided over this. The city-states that assassinated the Dragon King in the Bloody Century will be afraid of this. Conspirators and warmongers will use weapons for this. The city-states will fall into melee and eventually wear away their spirit. ”

Rhaenys took over Daemon's words and continued: "Essos is too big and too complicated, and time is actually on our side. The young dragons will eventually be able to fly into the sky to fight, and Vhagar will return to the sky in a few years." Return to the top.”

At the mention of Vhagar, the three people's faces twisted.

"What conditions can you give them?" Rhaenyra looked into Daemon's eyes. Rhaenys added next to her: "The conditions on our side, Daemon, my granddaughter is betrothed to my grandson. , you can no longer win over them through marriage."

Daemon said: "Neither Hightower in King's Landing, her daughter married that idiot son. Haha."

Damon smiled. "I believe that my brother, our King, will bring us the best conditions." He left a kiss on his wife's forehead. "I will bring you dragons and armies, trust me."

King's Landing at this moment.

This huge, chaotic city originated from the small castle built at the mouth of the Blackwater during Aegon's conquest. As Aegon I unified the six kingdoms, this huge city rose from the ground. It is said that there are 500,000 people living in the city. .

The king's red fortress stands on Aegon Hill, the towering castle is majestic and solemn. It is said that the "tyrant" and "cruel" Maegor massacred all the workers after the Red Keep was completed, just to ensure that the secrets of the Red Keep would not be leaked.

Red Fort.

The members of Viserys's Council looked at the confused Queen Allison Hightower anxiously. They had no idea why they had been called in urgently.

Sir Otto Hightower, Hand of the King, understood everything by looking at his daughter's expression. The king did not even tell his own queen what happened.

Ser Tyran Lannister, Lord of the Sea, and Lord Jasper Wilder, Lord of the Law, looked at each other, and finally decided not to say a word.

The intelligence chief, Earl Larris Strong, and the finance minister, Earl Linman Bisbury, stared at the orb symbolizing power and position in front of them, motionless.

"Where are Grand Maester Melos and Sir Cole?" Otto finally ended the silence in the hall.

"Prime Minister, we are here." Archmaester Melos struggled to move a pile of books and slowly moved to his seat.

The captain of the Kingsguard, the handsome Sir Criston Cole, followed King Viserys I in white robes and armor. As the guards protecting the king, the seven white knights of the Kingsguard are basically people with strong martial arts and good moral character, at least in the eyes of the outside world, especially the captain of this term, Criston Cole, who was born in a humble family but had good martial arts and a good appearance. After the death of the former captain, Sir Harold Westerling, Cole took over his duties and was responsible for defending the entire castle.

There was still a trace of hesitation on the king's face, but he finally sat on the main seat and put the orb representing the king into the groove.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the kingdom is facing a crisis, and I can only seek your wisdom."

"I am willing to serve you, Your Majesty." The ministers stood up at the same time, bowed slightly to the king, and then sat back in their seats.

"Grand Maester, you explain the situation."

Grand Maester Melos nodded and took out a letter.

"My Lords, a message came from Dragonstone that the Blackwall nobleman of Volantis, Dragonzel Varezes, and his brother Valar Varezes, tamed Vermithor and Silverwing in the ruins of Valyria with magic and other means. It is said that they also harvested more than one dragon egg."

"Impossible!" Otto stood up suddenly. He had never lost his composure like this before.

At this moment, everyone was shocked.
