Chapter 523 How can a girl be better than a widow?
At the mention of the word ally, the wounds on his back ached.
Sea Snake was completely uninterested and said politely: "Your proposal is not perfect. I don't need to take the risk."
Allied with Daemon to capture Tyrosh, but Daemon turned around and occupied the city-state on his own.
In just a few years, even the future heirs will have to exclude Velaryon's blood.
The same goes for Rhaegar on the Iron Throne.
The Battle of the Stepstones, the War on the Narrow Sea, and the Conquest of Dorne.
There is no war without the blood shed by Velaryon.
In the end, the royal family grew and Valerian could hardly sleep in peace.
A lesson learned from the past and a guide for those behind.
The sea serpent does not want to be a gambler at his age.
“Lord Corliss, don't make any hasty decisions.”
Aemond's expression remained normal, showing no embarrassment at being rejected.
The sea snake frowned slightly, secretly wondering what the other party was up to.
From the moment this second son entered the door, he exuded an aura that was sure to win.
It gives people an uncomfortable feeling of being manipulated.
Aemond reached back and pulled out an axe, hitting the floor.
In an instant, the guard at the door rushed into the door and drew his sword vigilantly.
"go out!"
The sea snake had a sullen face and said in a sinister tone: "This is a Targaryen prince, do you know?"
Rhaenys rolled her eyes when she heard this.
The guards looked at each other and left in confusion.
Until this time,
The sea snake leaned forward and took a moment to look at the shorthand ax that was lying on the floor.
"Huh?"
At first glance, the sea snake's cunning eyesight immediately revealed the clues.
The ax head is about three feet long and has the appearance of a standard logging ax.
Can be cut and chopped, strong and durable.
Normally, he chops trees and chops firewood, but when encountering an enemy, he carries an ax to kill people.
The sea snake looked at it carefully, looked strange, and confirmed: "Seltija's axe."
“That's right, a gift from Count Celtija.”
Emond picked up the axe, stared deeply at it with one eye, and said with emotion: "A magical weapon hanging on the wall as a decoration is really covered in dust."
The ax head is entirely silver-grey with clear water ripples on the surface, like an exquisite work of art.
Rhaenys' face changed instantly and she said in shock: “Celtigar's crab claws, are they a Valyrian steel axe!?”
Valyrian steel weapons, each one a rare treasure.
Except for Rhaegardon who took out one piece after another, many ancient families, including Velaryon, did not pass on any of them to their descendants.
The sea serpent was more shocked than the wife.
Three ancient families who were both exiled to Westeros from ancient Valyria are extremely familiar with each other.
Members of the Targaryen family are born with two sides.
If you are not crazy, you must be great.
The Velaryon family is loyal and reliable, with a fearless fighting spirit.
Only the Celtija family.
Many people in this family have a shrewd calculation in their hearts, and are good at weighing the pros and cons and making painful decisions.
When the exiled Inar migrated to the continent of Westeros, the contemporary Celtigar patriarch made the boldest choice to sell his ancestral property and follow him.
However, a family that is good at calculations will obviously not be welcomed by others.
For this reason, Targaryens have intermarried with Velaryons for generations, but rarely choose Celtigar as a partner.
Looking at the coveted Valyrian steel weapon, the sea snake calmed down for a long time and said solemnly: "What conditions did you give for this ax to fall into your hands?"
Aemond pursed his lips and smiled: "A proposal comparable to that of Velaryon, and an engagement to be won."
"What!"
Rhaenys quickly approached and said in disbelief: "You broke your engagement with Cassandra Baratheon and married a daughter of Celtigar instead?"
“This is not a wise choice.”
The sea snake took a deep breath and did not agree.
As the Duchess of Storm's End, Kassandra has the power to call upon the entire Stormlands.
If he gives up this engagement for an unknown Volantis, the sea serpent can only judge the other party as an arrogant idiot.
“You are wrong, aunt.”
Aemond looked at the excited Rhaenys and explained with a smile: "It is undeniable that I am not interested in your stupid niece."
“However, I will still abide by the engagement.”
Rhaenys was completely stunned.
Aemond turned his head and said, "I will marry Kassandra as promised and take over the allegiance of the nobles of the Stormlands."
Of course, he didn't dare to break the contract.
Rhaegar would break a leg if he dared to do that.
“To be honest, maybe I am too old to understand what young people are saying.”
Rhaenys retreated to her husband's side with confusion in her eyes.
The nephew's few words almost caused my brain to shut down.
Sea snakes are different.
His eyes were in vain, staring straight at Aemond.
Aemond shrugged and said, "If I get Volantis, I can have another wife."
“Boy, Damon is not a good role model!”
The sea snake's face was gloomy and his tone was full of warning.
What Damon did has become a thorn in his heart.
Aemond didn't care and continued to win people's hearts: "Through cordial conversations, I gained the support of Celtigar. Counting the influence of the Baratheon family, it is enough to fight a good battle."
The sea serpent sneered: "I don't believe that Bartimus and his son can be that stupid."
“The fact is, they said yes.”
Aemond looked directly into the opponent's eyes and turned the ax in a circle as if to prove it.
He did say a lot of words to win over Celtija.
But the effect was not good, and he used the fire-breathing trick that only sheep thieves can do.
Setijah obediently agreed and reluctantly gave away the family's heirloom ax - crab claws.
The sea snake said no more, thinking that the one-eyed boy might have carried out a series of coercion and inducement against Celtija.
That cunning old crab of Bartimus may really be guilty of greed.
“So, what's your decision?”
Aemond's eyes are burning, waiting for a new ally to join.
"impossible!"
The sea snake snorted coldly and said sharply: "Targaryen men are not worthy of trust."
Emond was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that the always ambitious old sea snake would refuse so simply.
After pondering for a moment, and still wanting to win over, he changed the subject: "I received Damon's wedding invitation."
“So what?” The sea snake was angry about this and didn't want to talk more.
Emond's eyes flickered and he said slowly: "To be honest, Bai Maggot is just a **** and is not qualified to marry into the royal family."
“Whatever you want to say, just say it.” the sea snake said impatiently.
“Let's make a covenant and I'll take care of your worries.”
A trace of evil flashed in Aemond's eyes, and he said concisely: "As long as the white maggot is dead, all difficulties will be solved."
A **** is dead when she dies.
Who knows it was him who did it.
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Sea Serpent and Rhaenys changed drastically.
“Nonsense, who do you think I am?”
The sea serpent felt slighted and issued an order to expel the guest: "One-eye! If there is no order from the king, you can leave."
If you want to kill the white maggots, why do you need a young boy to step forward?
He is the lord of the tides, with noble salt blood flowing in his veins.
The other party did not take it seriously at all.
But as a dog that any Targaryen can summon and go away with.
The rage passed and the temperature in the hall dropped to zero degrees.
Aemond stared at the sea snake for a long time, then stood up silently.
Without saying a word, he strode away.
The sea serpent seemed to realize that he was too excited, and added: "Your dragon can eat and drink enough before flying, and the guards will feed enough cattle and sheep."
“No need, sir.”
Emond's voice was calm and cold, and he strode out with an ax in hand.
In the corridor.
Aemond's face turned pale and he walked faster and faster.
Failed to win over, the plan will be shelved.
Even though he had good intentions, he was scolded by the sea snake.
Since the other party is unwilling to join forces, don't blame him for being rude.
It just so happened that he agreed to Saetika to marry another wife, so why not support Daemon in marrying White Maggot to pave the way for his future.
“Prince, please wait a moment.”
Suddenly, the maid's call came from behind. Emond pretended not to hear and quickly walked to a corner.
The maid was very anxious and trotted to keep up. She quickly said: "Princess Rhaenys asked me to tell you that it is getting late and you can stay in the castle to repair overnight."
The sea serpent drove Aemond away on impulse.
Rhaenys knew that her nephew had no ill intentions and was just trying to win over her.
Hunted for Aemond to leave, he spoke to his husband to resolve the issue.
Aemond dismissed it and sneered: "A prince's sincerity cannot be restored with a meal or a night."
Compared with him, my aunt is very insincere.
At the end of the day, this is Velaryon's Tide Island, not Targaryen's territory.
After saying that, he walked into the corner.
When we met face to face, we bumped into a soft and delicate body.
"ah!"
The woman let out a soft cry and backed away in panic.
Before Aemond could see his face clearly, the other person hurried away holding up his skirt.
Looking back,
She has long braided silver-gold hair, a light yellow waist skirt, and a petite figure.
The side face is slightly exposed, and the skin is as white as milk with a little freckles.
Aemond was so dazed for a moment that he almost recognized him as his sister Helena.
Until the other party disappeared, he grabbed the maid's hand and couldn't help but ask: "Who is she?"
Sea Serpent doesn't seem to have any nieces to marry or anything like that.
The maid was trembling and said honestly: "It's Mrs. Celine."
“Celine…”
Aemond's eyes flashed and he murmured: "Lagnino's widow, Celtija's daughter."
He remembered.
At a dinner party many years ago, Lanino attended with his newlywed wife.
A not-so-beautiful wife.
Probably, there is someone in his twenties.
“Prince, can I leave?”
The maid was frightened and prayed with tears in her eyes.
Emond was not interested in her and said with a smile: "Don't worry, take me to a guest room first. You can't live up to my aunt's kindness."
"ah?"
The maid was stunned.
“Find me a guest room, don't you understand?”
Aemond was somewhat moody. He threw away the clumsy maid and said without looking back: "Don't worry about me, I'll take a look around the castle."
Valley, Eagle's Nest City.
Seven slender white towers of different heights complete the overall view of this steep castle.
A pitch-black dragon flew over at great speed, jumped over the towering Giant's Spear, and circled around the Eagle's Nest City.
The huge body fell down and disappeared into the sea of surging clouds.
The jet-black dragon wings spread out like a sickle, cutting through the rapid waterfall named Alessa's Tears.
The Maiden's Tower.
A small door bounced open, as if it had been roughly broken open by a wild boar.
ification
A series of magpie-like laughter, and a little girl with a bright smile ran out.
˜Short chestnut lop-eared hair, big dark eyes, and skin that reflects white under the sun.
“Zhan Sifu, don't chase me.”
The little girl is short, wearing an orange short skirt, and has a pair of short legs.
Zhan Sifu, who had fiery red curly hair, chased after her and threatened: "Stop, don't let me spank your little ass."
“No! Don't!”
The little girl trotted all the way and entered the back garden with lush vegetation.
boom-
He hit a pillar head-on, and his small nose turned red from the collision.
“Woo~~”
The little girl screamed in pain, her little feet kept retreating, and she muttered: "It hurts so much, my nose is even crooked."
"Really?"
A gentle voice sounded, and the tall figure blocked the sunlight above his head.
The little girl was startled and raised her head in surprise.
investments
A big brother with long silver-gold hair shawl and an unbelievably beautiful appearance.
His eyes were smiling, looking at her gently.
Diana tilted her head, clasped her two little hands into a ball, and pretended to be an adult: "Mud Howl!"
But I was thinking in my heart that the silver hair and purple eyes look like my sister.
Rhaegar leaned down and couldn't help smiling: "Hello, little one."
“Yes,” the little girl nodded without saying anything.
His big eyes were rolling around, as if he was thinking about what the adults would say after greeting each other.
“Little guy, do you remember who I am?”
Rhaegar looked at it with joy, wishing he could touch the little girl's furry head immediately.
The little girl is very beautiful, and her tangled expression is so cute.
He was only as tall as his knees and looked like he was only three or four years old.
"do not remember!"
The little girl raised her face, looked at Rega seriously, and said crisply: "Do you remember who I am?"
"certainly."
Rhaegar could no longer bear it, reached out and took the little girl into his arms, and chuckled: "You are Lyanna, Lyanna Targaryen."
Lyanna's eyes suddenly widened, and she asked curiously: “Do you know me?”
She said she felt that the other person looked familiar, and she felt warm when she was held in her arms.
Lyanna looked around, put her little head close to Rhaegar's ear, and asked in a low voice: "Then who are you?"
Lega smiled, feeling the breath in his ears, feeling warm and a little sour in his heart.
The last time I set foot in the Eagle's Nest City was the little girl's name day when she turned two.
Children are very forgetful, after such a long time.
No one recognized him.
Rhaegar held Lyanna's little **** in his arms and carried her to the main tower. As he walked, he said, "We will find out when we see your mother."
"oh."
Lyanna didn't make any fuss and let Rhaegar hold her in his arms.
Looking at the flowers and plants passing by, a touch of intimacy flashed in his big eyes.
Testingly, he slowly leaned his head on Rhaegar's chest.
"Huh?"
Seeing that Rhaegar didn't respond, Lyanna's eyes sparkled and she arched her head in joy.
She is like a little sun that warms people's hearts, always keeping a bright smile.
Rhaegar looked at it again and again, feeling particularly cheerful.
Finally, I stretched out my big hand that I couldn't hold back and rubbed this hairy head.
“Hmph~”
Lyanna was like a coquettish kitten, pretending to be reserved and raised her hands to bab a few times.
Main tower, hall.
When Lei Jian entered, he happened to bump into James Sifu who was in a hurry.
“Zhan Sifu, what are you going to do?”
Lyanna stuck out her little head and asked softly.
Zhan Sifu looked flustered, but quickly calmed down: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Jenny is in the hall."
"What's your business?"
Rhaegar had a strange look in his eyes, secretly wondering why he was so panicked when he saw him.
“It's okay, I was just looking for the little princess.”
Jamsiff answered fluently and glared at Lyanna.
“Hmph!~”
Lyanna snorted and put her arms around Rhaegar's neck, ignoring her stern foster mother.
Zhan Sifu is bad and always takes care of her.
“Contain your temper.”
Rega looked funny and missed Zhan Sifu and continued walking inside.
Hall, on the main seat.
Jenny leaned on the armrest with her elbows, her long chestnut hair hanging down on her chest, her expression indescribably complicated.
The female companion Bao Lan is waiting below, holding an incubation vessel.
White smoke wisps came out, and a bronze-colored dragon egg was placed inside.
