Ice and Fire: Reign of the Dragon

Dragon Nest City.

Ronzel rarely sat on the obsidian throne in the main hall. The important ministers and family members of the Varese family gathered together. Even Serena, who was taking care of her close friend who had just given birth in Harrenhal, returned to the castle. .

Igor, Daenerys and Sebastian also put on adult clothes and stood beside their parents, waiting for the return of the two family members.

The door opened slowly, and the two dragon knights who had just taken a bath in the Dragon Cave Tower walked in with serious faces. Jakaris was the first to kneel down on one knee, and then Dan, who knelt down on one knee with his hands on his chest.

"Father, fortunately, I have fulfilled my duty. The war in the disputed area has basically ended."

"Is it over?" Long Zell looked at his two sons calmly. He was looking forward to what kind of answer his sons would give him. Ringor is mature, Lei Geng is still young, Jakaris and Dan are the backbone of his family in a hundred years, and they must be well cultivated.

Of course, if you have excellent talent, you will save a lot of trouble.

At least Dan's keenness has always satisfied Ronzel.

"Father, at least in the eyes of the king, the war is over." Jakaris did not expect his father to be so direct. He thought his father would ask them privately. After all, on today's occasion, not only the family's important ministers, like Regon Kaon, Hoffa Lawbearer and the others were there, as well as several important vassals from the family, including Earl Dondarrion, Earl Tully, Earl Cavron, Earl Cullen, etc. They were also there.

Dan reacted faster. When he saw the look in his brother's eyes, he understood what his father meant.

In this war, the Border Prince Territory did not contribute much. Longzell's vassals were relatively outsiders in the expedition. They needed to understand the benefits of this expedition.

"Father, my brother is right. In the eyes of His Majesty the King, Horus and Kago Kao are the last ones in the Disputed Land who can compete with our army. If they are eliminated, there will no longer be a large-scale army in the Disputed Land. resisted our military strength, so he judged us to have achieved a complete victory." Dan added.

Jakaris knew very well that Daeron's victory looked glorious and beautiful, but in fact it was full of problems. He broke up the original political and military system of the disputed land, and made those seemingly powerful tyrants and warlords surrender. Become a vassal, but can you truly rule this land?

Jakaris could only say that he could not say for certain.

"But, father." As soon as the but came out, Long Zell immediately turned his attention to Dan.

"Governor Salish's surrender does not seem like a truly willing surrender. Father, I doubt that the title of Duke Ho Salus, Governor of the Land of the Two Mountains, can feed the richest of the three giants of the Anti-Iron Throne Alliance. Tyrant, he only paid a small monetary price in this war." Dan carefully said. Di recalled these events in the later stages of the war: "I should have written a letter to my brother. When Governor Salish's son and Commander of the Fulgen Legion came to discuss peace, Horus was still gathering troops to prepare to stop us. It stands to reason that this is the case. Bet on both sides early. After Horus's defeat, Salish should desert his family."

"You overestimate the character of those guys, brother." Ringol said with a smile: "The disputed land has always been a mess. When confrontation is beneficial, they will fight against it, and when surrender is beneficial, they will happily surrender."

Dan curled his lips and approved his brother's answer: "His Majesty the King appointed Prince Rhaegar as the 'Governor and Prince of the Conquered Territory', with Riga Lachlon as the seat of government. However, Riga Lachlon is still being repaired. They are now They also opened a court in Ho Salu to handle government affairs. Prince Ilion and Prince Aemon rejected His Majesty's appointment. Prince Aemon wanted the title of 'Knight of the Kingdom' more. Prince Ilion said that he did not like to be bound by a fiefdom. he."

Longzell listened to his son's introduction with a smile, and couldn't help but think of that delicate and sensitive young man. No, Viserys has now entered middle age, and can even be said to be an old man. Years of hard work have made this The prince looked much older than his actual age, which also made his physical condition worse.

He has been dreaming of restoring the glory of the Targaryen royal family all his life. He longs for the royal family to have more, bigger dragons, and more members-but he cannot marry a silver dragon that may cause the dragons and power to drain away. daughter. Desire to restore royal authority.

But each of his sons is weirder than the last. Although Prince Aegon is not actually that bad and his abilities are not bad, his sowing seeds everywhere and being unfaithful to his marriage will indeed be used by his political opponents to criticize him.

Especially the issue of unfaithfulness in marriage. Although infidelity in marriage has never been a problem in the eyes of the nobles of Westeros, the object of his unfaithfulness was Princess Rhaena.

The beloved daughter of King Aegon.

This also caused Daeron's sisters, especially Princess Irena, to hate Prince Aegon. Even Serena, Daenerys, and Queen Jeyne, who had a good relationship with Princess Irena, also disliked him.

Prince Aemon is a fanatical fan of knights. If he is an ordinary noble, or even the second son of a great noble, it doesn't matter. It doesn't even matter in the previous Targaryen royal family, but after Viserys dreamed of restoring the Targaryen royal family, In the glorious present, Aemon, who dreams of becoming a true knight, and Aerion, who prefers to be a ranger, are indeed the weirdos of his family.

Only Maegon could calm Viserys a little.

But Mei Geng has not yet mounted the dragon.

"Tell me how the king plans to deal with the disputed land, your highness." Earl Tully said gently. He was once one of the children of the Purple Palace. When Ringor was exiled, the three of them had the false identity of Purchased by the current Earl of Tully.

Time flies, things change and people change.

Lady Diana is still alive, but Lord Alan Tully is dead.

"The king adopted enfeoffment." When he said this, Dan frowned: "Similar to the kingdom, His Majesty the King divided the land into small pieces and enfeoffed it to the knights who participated in the war, making each of them a property-owning knight. Among them, the one with greater merit was given the castle and became an earl."

"But there is no castle in the disputed land." Jakaris pointed out the problem faced by King Daeron in one sentence: "In other words, where is the castle in the kingdom model? Those knights and even the people have to gather from the original tyrants and warlords. Recruit from the population.”

Dan took over his brother's words and said: "Only the gods know how many subjects those knights can be divided into, and how many of those subjects are real farmers."

There will be an update in the early morning, with three updates guaranteed on Sunday.
