Chapter 567 Daenerys: Follow my orders!
Red Castle, Godswood.
The weirwood branches are lush, and the red leaves fall to the ground, forming a thick blanket.
"well."
The sea snake looked up at the red leaves falling slowly, its eyes as deep as a pool of stagnant water.
There was a hint of loneliness on his dark face.
He is old!
In his hands, the family seemed to be declining more and more.
"Colliss, it wasn't meant to be like this."
The sea snake's deep voice conveys the unwillingness deep within.
He is Corlys Velaryon, of the most ancient and noble Valyrian blood.
Nine voyages, marrying an uncrowned queen, and raising a pair of dragon-controlling children...
Throughout the history of Westeros, there are few people who can match the wars he has experienced in his life and the various achievements he has achieved.
How come it has fallen to this point?
Salsa sal…
There was a strange sound behind him, which was the rustling of footsteps.
The sea snake's eyes narrowed and he turned back silently.
"Grandpa!"
Benila's voice was clear and she trotted closer.
The sea snake was a little surprised and smiled: "Benilla."
Just as he was about to ask his granddaughter why she was here, another figure came into view.
Rhaenyra walked gently down the low steps with a smile on her face and a red waistcoat embellished with gold threads.
The sea snake suppressed his smile, his eyes fell on his granddaughter, he stretched out his hand to smooth the ends of her hair, and pretended to be relaxed: "Don't be discouraged, you will have a better marriage."
Benila pursed her lips and rubbed her palms with her cheeks.
The calluses stung the tender skin, but it felt very reliable.
"Benilla said you might be here."
Rhaenyra approached gently and said with a chuckle: "She trusts you very much and admires grandpa's nine voyages."
"Thank you very much, Your Majesty."
The sea snake responded calmly.
What's there to say?
The king had just refuted his request for marriage in public.
Rhaenyra pondered for a moment and reminded in a low voice: "Can I have a chat with Lord Corlys alone, Baenilla?"
Benila was startled when she heard this and looked up at her grandfather.
The sea snake's eyes flashed slightly and he nodded slightly.
He was curious about what he could talk about alone.
Seeing this, Benila said obediently: "I'll retreat first."
After saying that, he took his grandfather's hand and quickly left under the weirwood tree.
When the back of her granddaughter was no longer visible, the sea snake returned to its usual seriousness.
Rhaenyra silently organized her words and spoke first: "I have been thinking for a long time about why you always peek at the royal power."
As soon as these words came out, the sea snake looked startled.
Such words to poke open the window paper are heart-wrenching words.
Rhaenyra clasped her hands together and said frankly: "You once supported my aunt's fight for the inheritance, and you also wanted to marry Lannar to my father."
"Are you thinking about your wife and daughter, or are you doing it for your own selfish desires?"
The sea snake's face was gloomy and he had lost interest in talking.
"But after what happened today, I suddenly figured it out."
Rhaenyra changed the topic, raised her eyes to look at the swaying weirwood, and said solemnly: "The world is not fair. When you stand in that position, you will face many traps."
"so what?"
The sea snake's eyes flickered, and he was extremely vigilant.
His intuition told him that the other party must want something.
"I'm sorry, but Rhaegar said a lot of harsh things today."
Rhaenyra did not answer directly and instead tried to restore the relationship between the two families.
Sea Snake shook his head silently, this was not what he wanted to hear.
The Queen's apology may have weight, but the word "harsh" is not an admission of fault.
"This is an apology and I speak sincerely."
Rhaenyra smiled in relief and continued: "You have something to ask for, and I also have something to ask for. There is no conflict."
For today at least, both want to push Benilla to the forefront.
The sea snake did not accept this trick and laughed at himself: "The king rejected Benila. He thought that Lady Jane's daughter had more potential to become a queen."
"But we both love Benila and hope for a better future for her."
Rhaenyra frowned slightly and said methodically: "Rhaegar doesn't like ministers overstepping their bounds, but Velaryon has always been a staunch supporter of the royal family."
After a pause, he added: "Lis is my territory, and Velaryon also has a share there."
The sea snake's face was expressionless, and the more he listened, the more surprised he became.
His guess was correct, the other party was trying to win over him.
Sure enough, Rhaenyra said next: "I have a proposal. Baenilla is my adopted daughter. She has spent most of her young life by my side. I can marry her to Aemon."
"Prince Aemon?"
The sea snake's heart moved, and he asked knowingly: "They are the heirs of Reese and Tyrosh respectively."
"That's right." Rhaenyra nodded and said bluntly: "Aemon will take over Lys, Benila will inherit Tyrosh, and their children will rule two city-states in the Three Daughters Kingdom."
Rhaegar had said that she would be given the decision-making power on the marriage of her children.
Since he didn't want his eldest son Baerron to marry Baelela, so as to win over Daemon and Velaryon for the royal family.
Then she asked her second son Aemon to marry Baela and win over Daemon and Velaryon for herself.
She was also the heir to the Iron Throne and knew how to make allies.
Rhaegar believed that Jeyne was worth winning over to balance the internal conflicts in the royal family.
But she doesn't like to remain passive.
Throughout the brief history of the family, the two best queens, Visenya and Alexa, are in sharp contrast.
The former is shrewd and capable, holding the Dark Sisters to protect Aegon the Conqueror who was assassinated by Dorne many times.
Her life experience is more than wonderful.
If Visenya was a male, he would have used the name "Viserys" with the same meaning.
Perhaps the title of conqueror needs to be changed to someone else.
In her later years, Visenya encouraged her son Maegor to usurp power, ousting her sister Rhaenys's descendants to ascend to the Iron Throne.
Before Maegor failed, she died of old age.
This is not a stain, but another regret.
On the other hand, the kind Queen Alexa spent her whole life serving her brother and husband.
Give birth to children, woo aristocratic women, propose widowhood laws...
But her ending was not happy.
Thirteen children walked in front of her.
The two breaks between Alexa and King Renrui were mostly due to the struggle for women's equal rights and the inheritance rights of their children.
She believed that the eldest daughter Daenerys Targaryen should be the first heir, but King Renrui rejected it.
Unfortunately, Daenerys died of tremors at the age of six.
After this, peace was restored between Alexa and King Renre's court, but the quarrels never ceased.
Rhaenyra thought about this and sighed softly: "Queen Alysanne is very good, but her life is too tiring."
The sea snake frowned slightly.
Although I don't know what the other person is thinking, it's not difficult to guess what's going on after hearing Queen Alexa. The king had three wives, who obtained concessions from Rhaenyra, support from the valley, and the allegiance of several half-brothers.
The power that a king can win over is basically in the palm of his hand.
But the traditions of Westeros are different, and the disadvantages of marrying more are beginning to appear.
No one can sit back and watch their husband being shared.
Rhaenyra came to her senses and tilted her head: "What have you considered, Lord Corlys?"
"A very generous offer."
The sea snake took a step forward and said with emotion: "On the other side of the narrow sea is a pure land, where children can live a life of indulgence."
It is also a good choice for the king to suppress his vassals and join the queen's command.
The Targaryen dynasty had a long history of Queen Visenya ruling over vassals.
The Velaryon family has regressed to this point, and even the heir is just a Targaryen girl.
If we don't win over a strong ally, our future situation will be worrying.
“Happy to work with!”
Rhaenyra breathed a sigh of relief and smiled broadly.
The sea snake's cold expression was like ice melting away, and he said seriously: "The two children have signed a marriage contract, but there are still many things to pay attention to."
Rhaenyra tilted her head: "For example?"
"Daemon!"
The sea snake analyzed the problem seriously: "Damon is capricious, and the white maggots are pregnant."
"As far as I know, Lanner is also pregnant."
Rhaenyra frowned slightly, not seeing it as a threat.
Daemon has not yet married White Maggot, and the child in his belly is just an illegitimate child.
Before Lanner was pregnant, white maggots couldn't make waves.
After getting pregnant, don't even think about fighting for power.
"That's true, but you still have to be careful."
The sea serpent remained rational and reminded: "Damon and Aemond act without scruples, which is not good for the royal family and everyone."
The checks and balances of power lie in the forces of different strengths and weaknesses.
But there are always those who muddy the waters and disrupt this balance.
Damon and Emond are both typical unstable factors.
Rhaenyra seemed to understand, and was not in a hurry to answer immediately.
Dragon lair, main hall.
"Roar—"
Like the dark dragon flames spraying wantonly at night, looking up to the sky and impacting the iron cable bridge at the top of the dragon's cave.
"Quiet, Ilagas!"
The dragon man stood in the distance and shouted loudly, trying to calm the out-of-control young dragon.
"Hiss..."
The gray shadow was lying on the wall, blood marks appeared on the light gray scales on his chest, and he roared downwards.
Ilagas ran rampant, the chains around his neck and hind feet dancing wildly, and blood dripping from his body.
Sub-adult baby dragons are no match for adult dragons after all.
"Berlon, Anna!"
The dragon's lair was a mess, and Jenny looked anxious. Under the protection of the dragon guards, she pulled back the two children.
"Wow wow wow..."
Anna's big eyes burst into tears, her face turned gray, and she threw herself into her mother's arms and cried loudly.
Belron's face was pale, the tips of his silver hair were slightly curled, and he could still smell a trace of paste.
Jenny hugged Bellon and checked carefully: "Is there any injury?"
"No, no."
Bellon was sweating profusely and stuttering when he spoke.
The dragon flames passed behind him, almost overturning his father's childhood retreat.
"It's okay, let's go quickly."
Jenny's heart was beating fast, fearing that something would happen to her two children.
Looking back suddenly, he found that one person was missing, and said in panic: "Where is Daenerys!?"
He was clearly next to the incubator just now.
A line of cold sweat broke out on Jenny's forehead, and when she looked at the incubation vessel, it was already empty.
Not only Daenerys, but also the dragon eggs are missing.
"Madam, take the prince and princess and leave the dragon's lair first."
The old man had a solemn expression and made way for a passage.
"But."
Jenny was at a loss and looked around for her daughter.
Rumble—
Suddenly, there was a strange noise from the underground dragon pit, as if a giant beast was charging randomly.
The old dragon man's face changed drastically and he shouted: "Be careful, the young dragon is frightened!"
boom-
As soon as he finished speaking, smoke and dust suddenly erupted from a dragon pit, accompanied by a loud dragon roar.
"Hiss!"
The pale dragon flame spurted out like a pillar of fire, scattering the random black dragon flames.
The old dragon hunter turned around in panic and said in disbelief: "Dragon!"
"Hiss!"
A handsome dragon head poked out of the smoke, followed by a slender neck and a pair of dragon wings as bright as silver foil.
Blizzard's pair of golden vertical pupils were full of wildness, and he quickly rushed out of the dragon pit, showing an elegant, slender and perfect figure.
Jenny looked at the familiar silver baby dragon and the figure on the dragon's back, and her pupils suddenly shrank: "Dani!"
"Hiss!"
Blizzard roared loudly, swung its slender dragon neck, and flapped its wings to soar high into the sky.
A little silver-haired girl was lying on the dragon's back, her hands tightly clasping the scales, trembling slightly with fear.
call-
The silver baby dragon rushed out of the dragon's lair with a longing for the sky.
Feeling the strong wind blowing, the little silver-haired girl timidly raised her head.
"Hiss!"
Blizzard's body was flexible, and he crossed the chain bridge at the top of the dragon's lair and spat out a mouthful of dragon flames.
"ah!"
Daenerys exclaimed, burying her head and shouting: "Obey the order, obey the order!"
The voice was high-pitched and weak, but it was spoken in dragon-taming language.
Although not confident, it works well for young dragons.
Unfortunately, the little girl couldn't call the baby dragon's name, so she didn't give the order for a long time.
"Roar…"
Blizzard's golden vertical eyes froze, he glanced back at the driver, and playfully turned around and dived vertically.
"ah!"
In the main hall of Dragon Cave, Jenny looked up in panic, only to hear her daughter's screams.
