Chapter 124 Volantis's Actions
Stannis saluted expressionlessly and said: "Good morning, Your Majesty, welcome to Dragonstone."
Robert mocked angrily: "I don't want to come at all, Stannis. If you are willing to come to King's Landing, it will not be easy to see you!"
Stannis remained expressionless. Robert sat on the chair helplessly and angrily and said: "I want to conquer the Stepstone Islands. Is the Royal Fleet confident of defeating their navy?"
Stannis said: "I'm not sure. The royal fleet has cooperated with Gavin Bellerith's warships to pursue pirates before. Unlike the pirates of the Iron Islands, their warships are very powerful, and they are all tall sailing warships. . Most of our fleets are low long ships, and in a general naval battle, it may require the cooperation of four or five long ships to sink a sail warship. Long ships have both impact and defensive power. Not as good as a sailing battleship."
Robert said angrily: "I spent so much money on the royal fleet to have this little fighting power? It's so weak!"
Stannis retorted unceremoniously: "You spend most of your money on entertainment, banquets, and jousting. Since the rebellion on the Iron Islands, the Royal Council has never allocated money to repair or replace the royal fleet. ships."
Robert knew he was in the wrong and said, "As for the money, I'll let Littlefinger figure it out."
Stannis mocked: "Where are you going to borrow it again?"
Robert looked at Stannis coldly and said: "Be careful what you say Stannis, you are talking to your king now."
The hall fell into a tense atmosphere for a moment. After a while, Robert suppressed the anger in his heart and said calmly: "I want you to send ships to monitor the Stepstone Islands and recruit sailors for training. The money will be allocated soon."
After hearing this, Stannis said: "There is no problem." He paused and then said: "The Prime Minister Jon Arryn has passed away, and the Council cannot be without the Prime Minister. I wonder what your Majesty thinks of the new Prime Minister?"
After hearing this, Robert knew what Stannis meant. He stood up and sneered: "I want Ned Stark to be the new Lord Chancellor."
Stannis was extremely angry after hearing this. His brother would rather believe outsiders than his own brother. Soon Stannis suppressed the anger in his heart and said sincerely: "I recommend myself to be the Hand of the King. I believe in what I have done." Must be better than Jon Arryn and more suitable than Eddard Stark."
Robert waved his hand and said perfunctorily: "There are more important things for you to do now. You should first serve as the Lord of the Sea and manage the royal fleet well." Then he stood up and was about to walk out of the hall, but suddenly paused. Stepping back, he said, "Where is my niece Celine? I want to see her."
Stannis responded: "In the garden in the back yard, I will ask the waiter to take you there."
Robert nodded and strode out under the guidance of the waiter.
Stannis looked at Robert's retreating figure, his lips tightly closed, and he stopped talking. In the end, he just lowered his head silently and said nothing.
A few months ago, a mysterious letter was delivered to him.
When he opened the envelope, the contents of the letter exploded in his mind like a thunder. As stated in the letter, Jon Arryn discovered that of the three children Queen Cersei bore to Robert Baratheon, none of them were Robert's biological heirs. After this secret was revealed, Jon Arryn was poisoned by the Lannister family. Now, the Lannister's spearhead has been pointed at Stannis.
After learning about this, he hurriedly conducted a simple investigation, and then anxiously left the crisis-ridden King's Landing and rushed all the way to Dragonstone Island.
He knew very well that Robert, who was biased against him, would not believe his words, and would even suspect him of plotting for the Iron Throne.
It just so happens that the position of Prime Minister I just learned belongs to Ned Stark. Stannis decided to suppress his inner turmoil for the time being and wait for Ned to arrive in King's Landing before discussing the matter with him.
Longyan Bay
In the blazing dragon lair, with a series of crisp cracking sounds, the three dragon eggs began to crack. The young dragon that broke out of its shell first was covered with dazzling golden scales, shining as brightly as the sun under the firelight; then, a young dragon whose scales showed a deep blue stretched out its head. , its eyes are like the mysterious deep sea; the scales of the last born baby dragon are as bright as fire red, as if burning with endless passion.
With the birth of the baby dragon, Gavin felt something in his heart and clicked on his panel to take a look.

Looking at the three young dragons that appeared on the Domination, Gavin was more and more looking forward to controlling the dragons, and then he and Daenerys took care of the young dragons together.
Just then, Qyburn hurried in. The hot dragon cave made him sweat all over his body, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat. He raised his sleeves and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Qyburn walked quickly to Gavin, handed him a letter that was slightly soaked with sweat, and said, "My lord, there is a new situation in the disputed land."
Daenerys and Gavin's eyes instantly shifted from the newborn dragons to the letter, and their expressions became solemn.
After Gavin took the letter, he couldn't wait to open it and read it. His brows were furrowed, and his face became more solemn. I thought Myr would be the first to take action, but I didn't expect that Volantis's Tiger Cloak Army had already deployed troops on the border of the disputed land.
Gavin took a deep breath, handed the letter to Qyburn beside him, and said in a deep voice: "Daenerys and I will fly to Lys tomorrow. You must keep an eye on the actions of the Iron Throne and speed up the construction of warships here."
Qyburn bowed and accepted the order, and said respectfully: "Please rest assured, sir."
After that, Gavin carefully handed the three baby dragons to the Blood Dragon Guards and ordered them to be fed regularly, and then hurriedly left the dragon cave with Daenerys.
