Chapter 567 Daenerys: Follow My Orders!

Red Castle, Godswood.

The branches of the fish beam trees are lush, and the red leaves fall to the ground and form a thick blanket.

"Alas."

The sea snake looked up at the red leaves slowly falling, his eyes as deep as a pool of dead water.

A trace of imperceptible loneliness appeared on his dark face.

He is old!

The family seems to be declining in his hands.

"Corliss, it shouldn't be like this."

The sea snake's voice is low, communicating the resentment in his heart.

He is Corliss Velaryon, with the oldest and noblest Valyrian bloodline.

He sailed through the sea nine times, married the uncrowned queen, and raised a pair of dragon rider children...

The wars he experienced in his life and the various achievements he obtained, how many people in the history of Westeros can compare with him.

Why did he fall to this point?

Shashasha...

There was a strange sound behind him, it was the rustling footsteps.

The sea snake's eyes fixed and he turned his head silently.

"Grandpa!"

Benila's voice was crisp, and she trotted closer.

The sea snake was a little surprised, but smiled: "Benila."

Just when she was about to ask her granddaughter why she was here, another figure came into her sight.

Renila smiled, wearing a red waistcoat decorated with gold thread, and walked down the low steps gently.

The sea snake put away her smile, looked at her granddaughter, stretched out her hand to smooth the ends of her hair, and said casually: "Don't be discouraged, you will have a better marriage."

Benila pursed her lips and rubbed her palm intimately with her cheek.

The calluses stung her tender skin, but she felt very reliable.

"Benila said you might be here."

Renila walked closer with a slow pace and chuckled: "She trusts you very much and admires grandpa's nine crossings."

"You are flattering, Your Majesty."

The sea snake responded indifferently.

What is there to say?

The king had just refuted her in public and refused the request for marriage.

Rhaenyra pondered for a moment and whispered, "Can I talk to Lord Corliss alone, Benyra?"

Benyra was startled when she heard this and looked up at her grandfather.

The sea snake's eyes flickered slightly and he nodded gently.

He was curious about what he could talk about alone.

Seeing this, Benyra said obediently, "I'll leave first."

After that, she pulled her grandfather's hand and quickly left the fish beam tree.

When she could no longer see her granddaughter's back, the sea snake returned to her former seriousness.

Rhaenyra silently organized her words and spoke first, "I've thought about it for a long time, why do you always covet the royal power."

When these words came out, the sea snake's face was stunned.

This kind of words that poke open the window paper are heart-piercing words.

Rhaenyra clasped her hands together and said frankly, "You once supported your aunt in the fight for the inheritance, and you also wanted to marry Lanar to my father."

"Are you thinking about your wife and daughter, or 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 subject, looked up at the swaying fish beams, and said solemnly: "The world is not fair. When you stand in that position, you will face many traps."

"So?"

The sea snake's eyes flickered, and he was extremely alert.

His intuition told him that the other party must have something to ask for.

"I'm sorry, Rhaegar said a lot of harsh words today."

Rhaenyra did not answer directly, but turned to save the relationship between the two families.

The sea snake shook his head silently. This was not what he wanted to hear.

The queen's apology may be weighty, but the word "harsh" is not an admission of fault.

"This is an apology, and I am talking sincerely."

Rhaenyra released a smile and continued: "You have something to ask for, and I have something to ask for, and this is not contradictory."

At least today, both of them want to push Bernila to the stage.

The sea snake didn't buy it and said self-deprecatingly: "The king rejected Benella, he thought Lady Jeyne's daughter had more potential to become the queen."

"But we both love Benella and hope that her future will be better."

Rhaenyra frowned slightly and said in an orderly manner: "Rhaegar doesn't like ministers to overstep their authority, but Velaryon has always been a staunch supporter of the royal family."

After a pause, he added: "Rees is my territory, and Velaryon also has a share there."

The sea snake had a blank expression on his face, and he was more and more surprised as he listened.

He guessed correctly that the other party was trying to win him over.

Sure enough, Rhaenyra continued, "I have a proposal. Baelor is my adopted daughter. She has spent most of her young life with me. I can marry her to Aemon."

"Prince Aemon?"

The sea snake's heart moved, and he asked knowingly, "They are the heirs of Lys and Tyrosh respectively."

"That's right." Rhaenyra nodded and said bluntly, "Aemon will take over Lys, Baelor will inherit Tyrosh, and their children will rule two city-states in the Three Kingdoms of Women."

Rhaegar said that he would give her the decision-making power of her children's marriage.

Since he didn't want his eldest son Baelon to marry Baelor to win over Daemon and Velaryon for the royal family.

Then she let her second son Aemon marry Baelor to win over Daemon and Velaryon for herself.

She was also the heir to the Iron Throne and knew how to make alliances.

Rhaegar thought Jeyne was worth winning over to balance the internal conflicts of the royal family.

But she didn't like to be passive all the time.

Looking at the family history, the two best queens, Visenya and Alysanne, are in sharp contrast.

The former was shrewd and capable, and she used the Dark Sisters to protect Aegon the Conqueror who was assassinated by Dorne many times.

Her life experience was 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 icy 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?"

"Damon!"

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 danced wildly, and his body was dripping with blood.

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."

Belron broke out in cold sweat and stuttered 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!"

The handsome dragon head emerged from the smoke, followed by a slender neck and a pair of dragon wings as bright as silver foil.

Blizzard's golden vertical pupils were full of wildness, and he rushed out of the dragon pit quickly, showing an elegant and slender perfect body.

Jenny looked at the familiar silver dragon and the figure on the dragon's back, and her pupils suddenly shrank: "Danni!!"

"Hiss!"

Blizzard screamed, swung his slender dragon neck, and flapped his dragon wings to rush into the sky.

A silver-haired girl lay on the dragon's back, holding the scales tightly with both hands, trembling slightly with fear.

Huh——

The silver dragon rushed out of the dragon's cave with a desire for the sky.

Feeling the strong wind blowing, the silver-haired girl looked up timidly.

"Hiss!"

Blizzard was flexible, crossed the iron chain bridge at the top of the dragon's cave, and sprayed a mouthful of dragon flame wantonly.

"Ah!!"

Daenerys screamed, lowering her head and shouting: "Follow the command, follow the command!"

The voice was sharp and weak, but it was spoken in dragon language.

Although not confident, it worked well for the young dragon.

Unfortunately, the little girl couldn't call the young dragon's name, and she didn't give any orders for a long time.

"Roar..."

Blizzard's golden vertical pupils shone, and she glanced back at the driver, and turned around and dived vertically in a playful manner.

"Ah!!"

In the hall of the dragon's lair, Jenny looked up in panic, only to hear her daughter's scream.
