Ice and Fire: Reign of the Dragon

Dragonstone.

Rhaenyra stood blankly on the terrace of the castle, looking motionlessly in the direction of Storm's End. Her iron guards and ministers stood in the tower behind her, looking nervously at the lonely figure standing on the terrace. of queen. Black wings bring black news. The raven from Storm's End brought news of Lythris's death in battle. From the moment she received the letter, Queen Rhaenyra fell into this state of silence.

Count Corlys Velaryon tried to step forward several times, but Rhaenys grabbed his arm and shook her head gently. She understood Rhaenyra's current mood very well. She was also in such hysterical silence when she saw Lanino's body and Lanner's ashes. She also liked the child Lucilis very much. He was obedient, kind, and considerate of his elders. At Lannal's funeral, Xiaolu told Rhaenys and Corliss that he did not want to be the Lord of the Tide, because it meant that he was deeply affected by the tide. All the beloved elders have passed away.

At this moment, a silver-haired girl wearing a black dress squeezed out of the crowd and slowly walked to Queen Rhaenyra. Corliss could see the girl's suppressed emotions and red eyes, which were his Granddaughter, Rhaena Targaryen, daughter of Prince Daemon and Lannar, fiancée of Lythris.

Rhaenyra also noticed Rhaenia walking to her side. The little girl gently took the queen's arm, and the queen naturally pulled the little girl into her arms.

The queen's courtiers sighed and left, leaving only Earl Corliss and Princess Rhaenys. They stood quietly behind the queen and the girl, listening quietly to the extremely suppressed sobs.

After an unknown amount of time, the queen patted Rhaena gently on the back and raised her head. The sea snake and the princess who stayed there could clearly see the anger in the queen's eyes.

"Good boy, my son died in battle as a true dragon knight. He did not live up to my bloodline. I will make Aemond pay the price." The queen said softly, but everyone could hear the tone in the queen's voice. Repressed pain and anger. She gently hugged Rhaena and asked her to wipe away her tears with her clothes, and then stood in front of Lord Collis: "Lord Collis, I need to go to the Stormlands." She said: "I don't My son’s body will be left in a foreign land.”

"Your Majesty." Corliss shook his head: "You are the queen, and the queen cannot put herself in danger. I will send a ship to Shipbreaker Bay, and Prince Valar will also look for his attendants."

"No!" Rhaenyra said firmly: "I am still a mother, and I cannot watch my son floating alone in the sea, whether it is according to the customs of the Targaryen family or the Velaryon family, They will not allow this to happen." She glanced at Renya in her arms: "The child Renya and Xiaolu grew up together. Even though Xiaolu lived in Dragon Nest City, they often visited each other and wrote letters. I can’t just watch her lose her fiancé without any explanation, Lord Collis, I also want to find a better home for this child.”

"Prince Rey?" Corliss didn't expect the queen to remain calm at this time.

Rhaenyra nodded: "I will personally fly to Dragon's Nest City to confirm the engagement with Prince Valarr and Prince Rey. As for Prince Longzel, I believe he will definitely agree."

"I will send ravens to the north." Corliss knew that this was the best result, and could firmly tie the Varese family to the Black Party's chariot. "But you."

"I will take a detour to the Stormlands." Rhaenyra said: "I have recovered a lot in the past few days. My lord, you have to believe in my skills in controlling dragons." She was very confident in her skills in controlling dragons. After all, the seven-year-old dragon control Dragon Shangtian is also considered an outstanding member of the Targaryen family. Although she is no longer a warrior in the sky, she is still an excellent dragon knight. "While I am away, all affairs of the kingdom will be handled by you, Lord Corlys." Queen Rhaenyra understood that Corlys is now one of the three most important forces she relies on, and now the Vareses family is no longer here On Dragonstone, Daemon is far away in the Riverlands. She must rely on the power of the sea serpent to maintain her rule.

"I appoint you as my Queen's Hand, Lord Corlys." Rhaenyra lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry that I don't have the King's Hand brooch with me."

"It doesn't matter, Your Majesty." Corliss smiled. "I'll take care of everything for you, but you still..."

"Your Majesty, do you need me to escort you?" Rhaenys motioned to her husband to say no more. As a mother, she understood Rhaenyra's thoughts.

Rhaenyra shook her head: "I can go by myself. The target of the two dragons is too big, Syrax is agile enough, Sunfire is not my opponent, and Vhagar cannot catch up with me. Rhaenys, thank you for your understanding. ”

"This is what a mother should do," Rhaenys sighed, taking Rhaenya from Rhaenyra's hand, and watched Rhaenyra resolutely walk towards Dragon Mountain.

Syrax roared, fluttered his wings and flew up from under the Dragon Mountain, flying towards the vast sea.

Dragon Nest City.

Rey stood at the entrance of the dragon's lair, in front of Silver Wing.

"Rey, sister-in-law, get out of the way, I'm going to burn Storm's End!" Valarr put on his Valyrian steel armor "Silver Shield" and stared into the distance with red eyes. The silver wings under his crotch also roared irritably, but they did not dare to face Rey. Diana followed Rey and said loudly: "Valar, calm down, we are also heartbroken that Prince Lucilis died in the battle, but burning Storm's End means the beginning of war. Storm's End has not yet announced that it will join the Green Party. We cannot be the ones who end up breaking up and igniting the flames of war.”

"I understand the truth, but Xiaolu is my servant!"

"Brother, Xiaolu died as a warrior. Don't you want the real murderer to pay the price?" Rey said.

"Emond!" Valar said with a red face: "I will definitely make him pay the price."

"Brother, you can go, but only to find Xiaolu's body." Rey opened his arms and tried to calm his brother's anger: "Duke Borros did not violate the guest rights. A rash attack on Storm's End will cause unrest. Big brother and Xiaolu don't want this to happen."

"I know." Valar exhaled a long breath: "I swear in the name of big brother, I will not burn Storm's End. Now you can let me go."

Rey then opened the cave and let Silver Wing fly out.

"Valar." Diana knew that Valar would not violate what she said, but she was still a little worried that Valar would lose control of his emotions.

"Don't worry, as long as Aemond doesn't hang around Storm's End, I can hold it in." Rey sighed. "That's just his temper." As he spoke, Rey's voice choked up a little.

To be honest, he also wanted to ride Shadow Nightmare to vent his anger. But in the current situation, Dragon's Nest must have a combat dragon.

He had to stay to protect his nephews and nieces, as well as little Aegon and Stormcloud.
