Chapter 476 Damon and Sea Snake Team up Again

Lionor Hightower lost his father at a young age, and was held in the arms of the knight, crying loudly, almost fainting.

Rhaegar looked around and estimated the value of the fire.

Mond was buried in the sea of ​​fire, and several unlucky Hightower branches did not have time to escape and died in the fire.

Last night, the gate of the towering tower caught fire, blocking the guards from fighting the fire.

A large number of servants died, all fighting the fire or being trapped.

Looking at the charred towering tower, Lyonor Hightower burst into tears.

Rhaegar knew that the Hightower family would not be able to breathe in ten years.

"Rhaegar."

Rhaenyra stepped forward and stuffed a pair of babies into Rhaegar's arms, and walked towards Lyonor Hightower, who was surrounded and comforted by servants.

When passing by, she did not forget to glare at him fiercely.

As if to say, look at what you have done.

Rhaegar's lips curled up slightly, holding the child and humming a nursery rhyme softly, watching Rhaenyra send the servants away and coax Lyonor Hightower to stop crying.

This is probably the tacit understanding between the centenarian king and Queen Alysanne.

Rhaenyra condescended to come down and clean up for Rhaegar.

It was approaching noon.

The vassal of Hightower, who lived nearby, entered Oldtown to attend Mondstadt's memorial service.

Rhaegar received the guests and announced in public that Lyonor Hightower would take over the territory and title and become the new lord of Oldtown.

As for the cause of the fire, it was determined to be an accidental fire.

Many of them knew privately that Rhaegar was inseparable from this incident.

After all, Rhaegar arrived in Oldtown to suppress Hightower.

However, the fire burned from the inside of the towering tower, and there were even traces of kerosene.

The towering tower has always been heavily guarded, unless someone knows the secret passage and arranges arson in advance.

Rhaegar obviously does not have this condition.

Therefore, Rhaegar was downgraded from the real murderer in people's mouths to the man behind the scenes.

But no one dared to speak out in public, and only dared to discuss quietly in their own castles.

The towering tower is still there, the Hightower family continues to live in Oldtown, and the new lord is also Mond's only son.

The vassals of Hightower are very satisfied with this.

If they are really loyal, they will not refuse Mond's call.

Now that Mond is dead, the conflict between Oldtown and the royal family has disappeared, and everything will start over.

The vassals don't have to worry about being affected, and they are still loyal to Hightower, the lord.

There is no more perfect solution than this.

It doesn't matter whether it's true or not, and it doesn't matter whether the lord lives or dies.

It's important that we live a stable life!

The funeral will be held soon.

Due to the young age of the new lord, the Hightower family elected a regent to arrange the burial of Mond's body.

Rhaegar coaxed his two sons and went to the front of the team with Aegon and Aemond.

With a slight sidelong glance, Rhaenyra bent down and gently comforted the sobbing Lyonor Hightower.

Rhaenyra's eyes were gentle, and she exuded an unstoppable maternal radiance.

Rhaegar smiled slightly, watching in fascination.

Rhaenyra did have the potential to become a queen, giving people an extremely kind and tolerant feeling.

It didn't show up in her teenage years, but it increased day by day after she became an adult.

Especially after she really became a mother, this sense of tolerance was almost drowning her.

Aegon hung his head and said boredly: "What end!"

"Shh!" Aemond hurriedly stopped him and advised: "Keep your voice down and don't talk nonsense."

"Tsk, what are you afraid of? No one is watching us."

Aegon sneered, his eyes fell on a beautiful girl in the crowd, and rejection flashed in his eyes: "Why didn't you burn her to death, so I don't have to fulfill the marriage contract."

Aemond warned: "That's your fiancée."

"How about giving it to you?"

"I have my own fiancée."

"Maybe we can marry two."

Aegon bumped Rhaegar with his shoulder, his eyes sly: "You will marry Jeyne and expand the exception rule, right?"

-"The Exception Rule"

That is, after the centenarian king compromised with the Seven Gods, an important condition for maintaining family traditions.

Content roughly;

The Targaryen family is not the ancestors, Andals, or Rhoynar, but the Valyrian dragon king who immigrated from Freehold.

The family has a marriage tradition different from that of Westeros to maintain the purity of blood.

Among them, the Citadel also participated in the formulation of the Law of Exceptions.

Once the law was born, missionaries of the Seven Gods spread across the continent, explaining it in castles and villages one by one.

Let the people of Westeros recognize the uniqueness of Targaryen.

Rhaegar glanced at him and carried the two children to his second uncle to avoid dirtying his eyes: "Don't waste your mind, the new version of the Law of Exceptions is only enough for the king and the crown prince."

This was discussed privately with his father.

It's okay for the king to marry two more wives, all for the purpose of blood reproduction.

If it really wants to promote all Targaryens, Daemon and Aegon will marry more wives before Rhaegar and develop their own harems.

That would be a mess.

For the first time, Aegon was tough and argued: "Don't be too selfish."

Rhaegar sneered: "What are you going to do?"

"Nothing!"

Aegon widened his eyes and left angrily.

Aemond slapped his forehead and covered his one eye that couldn't bear to see.

How could he have such a brother?

The most forceful tone, the most soft words.

After a busy day, the funeral is over.

…

The next day, early in the morning.

Four dragons flew out of Oldtown and rushed back to King's Landing together.

Rhaegar rode on the Glutton, silently estimating the time difference.

The Faith of the Seven Gods surrendered, signed a new version of the "Law of Exceptions", and was responsible for promoting Westeros before the spread of Protestantism.

The school city was even worse, almost being evacuated.

Tru led dozens of bachelors and hundreds of bachelor's assistants to count the gains from splitting the city.

Hightower changed lords, and the vassals spontaneously pledged their allegiance.

The Clymont and Dain families who raided the farm disappeared, so Aegon and Aemond returned to King's Landing with them.

"There is still one Otto left to deal with."

Rhaegar thought silently.

At this point in time, Otto was probably on the route back to King's Landing.

He didn't kill Otto directly and left him alive.

Judging from Otto's behavior of burning the towering tower, the other party was dissatisfied with Mond to a certain extent and even wanted to replace him.

Otherwise, such extreme measures would not be used.

He secretly added fuel to the flames and helped Otto fulfill his undecided cruelty.

However, the heir was Mond's son, and Otto, the second son, was still not in his turn.

Rhaegar secretly cursed: "Keep Otto alive to restrain Allison and do some business."

The Three Women's Kingdom, the Disputed Land, and the Dorne Territory all need talents like Otto to manage.

Don't think that you will die in one fell swoop. You have to work when you need to work.

…

King's Landing.

Four giant dragons flew into the sky above the city and slowly landed in the dragon's lair.

"Hiss..."

Syrax neighed mischievously, refused to be driven away by the dragon man, and drove the driver straight to the Red Keep.

It's not just any dragon.

The dragon's lair is dirty and smelly, and the back garden of the Red Castle is its favorite.

Rhaenyra reluctantly left, holding the sleeping Baelron in her arms.

Seeing this, Rhaegar took his two brothers into the dragon's lair.

"Hiss..."

In the Dragon Cave Hall, a high-pitched scream came out.

A giant light blue dragon was lying on the ground, its head resting on the tip of its tail, its vertical pupils looking at it maliciously.

Helena was holding a chain, and the dark green baby dragon the size of a domestic cat was tied with one paw, flapping its wings and struggling hard.

"elder sister!"

Emond shouted in surprise and ran over happily.

Rega was slightly surprised, but didn't pay much attention to it.

"prince."

The old dragon man stepped forward and led his apprentice to drive away the three giant dragons.

The glutton had his eyes straight up and was indifferent, and he dug into his own dragon pit.

Yang Yan roared at Meng Huo, who roared back, and then obediently returned to the dragon pit to rest.

The sheep thief jumped back and forth, pestering the dragon man to feed the two goats, and lay down contentedly on the spot to sleep.

Of all the dragons, it is the most rebellious.

"elder brother!"

Seeing Rhaegar's figure, Helena raised a smile and trotted over with the baby dragon in hand.

Missed Aemond:…

Embarrassed, he retracted his hands and turned around to hug Aegon.

Helena ran forward, pointed at the baby dragon with her little finger, and said in surprise: "A new baby dragon hatched in the dragon's lair?"

She originally wanted to take a look at Blizzard and Thrax, but unexpectedly this young dragon with the color of a poisonous mushroom came across.

Rhaegar avoided the gazes of Aegon and Aemond and whispered: "This is the hatching of the dragon eggs of the Belerys family, and the companion dragon of little Aemond."

"Little Eamonn?"

Helena has a cute expression.

Rhaegar could tell at a glance that she didn't know the news about Rhaenyra's birth, and she had no mental barriers to tell the truth.

After hearing this, Helena opened her mouth wide and said: "I, I have nephews."

His voice was light and airy, with no trace of regret at all, but instead a hint of excitement.

Only then did she see a small baby in Rhaegar's arms.

Helena's eyes were filled with little stars, and she poked little Eamonn's face with her finger, licking it as if teasing a puppy.

Little Eamonn:…

Her big watery eyes widened, a trace of saliva flowed from the corner of her mouth, and she looked at her little aunt in confusion.

Not very smart.

Rhaegar looked amused and called to his two younger brothers: "Let's go back to the Red Keep."

Aegon and Aemond looked at each other, their eyes rolled on Helena, and they closed their mouths in unison.

Helena's expression changed slightly, and she stopped teasing her little nephew.

She had received no news that Rhaenyra had given birth, but she had received other news.

"Hiss..."

The young dragon neighed, breaking the moment of silence.

Little Aemon was attracted by the sound, his big eyes stared at the young dragon, and he couldn't stop drooling from the corner of his mouth.

The baby dragon opened a pair of light red wings, tilted its head and looked at the human baby, a flash of reminiscence flashed through its vertical pupils.

Immediately.

"Hiss..."

The young dragon flapped its wings and took off, screaming in panic and trying hard to escape.

It still remembers being bitten by this human cub when it first hatched.

"Wow wow..."

Seeing the cry of the young dragon, little Eamonn followed the same example, revealing his pink gums.

"Haha, you are so rude."

Rhaegar wiped away his son's saliva and led Helena and the others out of the dragon's lair.

Before leaving, he told the dragonfly to take the young dragon to the Red Keep occasionally and have more contact with little Aemon.

…

Red Fort, banquet hall.

When he learned that his children were coming back, Viserys overcame his physical discomfort and ordered his servants to arrange a sumptuous lunch.

Rhaegar changed into a set of clothes to wash off the dragon stench from his body.

Others also washed themselves.

If you fly with a dragon for a long time, your body will not only be stained with the smell of the dragon, but also the smell of sweat.

At the banquet.

Viserys sat on one side of the long table, looking at a group of children with a pale face and a relieved smile.

In his arms, holding Baelon who was chewing his hand.

Rhaenyra sat aside and put little Aemon on the dining table, letting the little guy show his teeth to his brother.

Baelon glanced at him and continued to chew his hand calmly.

Viserys was very happy: "Look at these two little guys, they will be great warriors when they grow up."

Rhaegar responded with a smile, glancing at Helena and Aemond from time to time.

Compared with the heartless Aegon, the siblings were more sensitive and were both worried that Alisson could not attend the banquet.

The wanderer returned and couldn't see his mother.

Rhaegar expressed his understanding.

He had been without a mother since he was a child, so he was used to it.

Halfway through the banquet, the brothers and sisters had eaten almost everything.

Rhaegar saw that his father was hesitant to speak several times, and took the initiative to ask: "Father, is there any news outside?"

This time was a family dinner, or a luncheon.

Lyonor and other ministers of the royal court did not attend and did not get the information in time.

Viserys hesitated for a moment: "Braavos sent an envoy and took the initiative to propose peace terms."

"Is Ferenken so kind?" Rhaegar frowned.

Viserys shook his head: "It's not Ferenken, that guy died in the wildfire explosion, and Braavos elected a new sea king who yearns for peace."

"That's a good thing."

Rhaegar thought of Braavos across the narrow sea and asked: "The new sea king's peace terms are very harsh?"

Otherwise why is his father so hesitant.

Viserys looked around at the children, his eyebrows revealed a trace of fatigue, and said sadly: "The new sea king proposed a very generous peace terms, but he hopes to stop the Iron Throne's invasion of Dorne and sign a truce agreement with Prince Quell of Sunspear."

"Is his hand so long?"

Rhaegar was alert.

Viserys said: "Dorne has surrendered. The new Sea King means to stop the dragon's wrath. He will persuade the rebellious Dornish to put aside their prejudices and return to peace."

"The messenger also said that the new Sea King hopes to reopen the route to the disputed land and restore the trade rights of both sides."

Hearing this, Rhaegar was thoughtful.

I understand.

He killed too much in Dorne, and the new Sea King gave in.

Adhering to the consistent tradition of the free trade city-state, the two sides signed peace terms and everyone made money together.

Why did his father look like this?

A figure flashed through Rhaegar's mind.

Viserys sighed and said bluntly: "The envoys of Braavos not only visited King's Landing, but also went to Tidehead Island, Stepstone Islands, and Sunspear City."

"Daemon and the sea snakes joined forces to cut off the envoy's lower body to refuse to stop the war."

To put it bluntly.

The sea snake Corliss was extremely indignant and once wanted to cut off the envoy's head, stuff it in a box and send it back to Braavos.

He lost his heir, and he would never give up before the revenge was over.
