Ice and Fire: Reign of the Dragon

Chapter 66 Mandalay of White Harbor

The nights on Dragonstone are always accompanied by humid sea breezes. The noisy wind makes the beach even quieter. The dragons rest on the beach and cliffs, making thunderous sounds from time to time. It didn't break the tranquility of the beach.

The disheveled Aegon was drunk and collapsed on the beach. He was dragged out of the tavern again by his younger brother.

"What do you think?" Aemond grabbed Aegon by the collar and lifted him up. "Although your mother is stupid, have you forgotten what she said? You are the legitimate heir to the kingdom. Now there is a great opportunity in front of you that can allow you to win over a dragon king family that is even as powerful as your family, but you pretend to be stupid in front of them and go drink with a whore?"

"You said it as if you were not there." Aegon tried to push Aemond away, but found that he was too drunk to push away his younger brother who had already started to discipline him. "Legitimate heir? The legitimate heir established by father is my elder sister. Do you think father intends to change the heir?"

Aemond pushed Great Aegon hard and he staggered. "That's all you can do. Don't forget that we live to threaten that slut. Do you think that bitch will allow us to exist to threaten her strong bastard?"

Great Aegon was silent. "But I have stopped mother. If Helena gives birth to a daughter, she will marry Rey. Rey also has dragons, and my cousin's family is so close."

"Do you dare to ask if Helena is close to you." Aemond was almost driven crazy by his elder brother. "Let alone whether you can give birth to a daughter, even if you do, Rey is 14 years older than your daughter! Can you wait for your daughter to grow up and marry him?" Aemond lowered his voice. "But what about father?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Great Aegon quickly covered his brother's mouth. "Can you just say that?" He sighed in his heart. Is it so difficult for me to be an idle prince?

"Okay, okay, okay." Aemond pushed his brother's hand away. "Don't forget that father also plans to let his cousin Longzier marry his daughter to little Aegon, the bastard who disgusts us with your name."

Seeing that Big Aegon couldn't hold back a word for a long time, Aemond laughed in anger. "I'll tell you one last time, if you want to live, you must fight. Don't let me see you drunk and naked on the whore's bed again, and don't let me see you showing your thing anytime and anywhere, especially at the Dragon's Nest Tournament in four months. Watch your little guy."

"Aemond, you can't do this to me!"

Leaving a cruel word, Aemond threw Big Aegon on the beach without looking back. He returned to the castle.

At this time, on the terrace of the castle, Longzier, who had thrown Valar to Layla Celtigar, was enjoying the sea breeze with the Minister of the Navy and the Minister of Finance. They did not disturb the king who was in urgent need of rest, the queen who was full of anger, nor did they disturb Princess Rhaenyra who was anxious to see her son. Instead, Jacaerys dutifully chatted with his mother for a while before rushing over to serve. This made Lord Lyman Beesbury quite emotional.

"Prince, I wonder what you think about the plan for the royal fleet?" Sir Tyran Lannister rubbed his palms a little awkwardly. "My... my brother is indeed a little wild, I hope you don't take it too seriously."

"Duke Jason is an interesting person." Longzel leaned on the battlement and said calmly: "But I think you have to take care of the girls' mentality. As for the royal fleet, Lord Tyran, I still maintain the quotation at Casterly Rock. If the royal family is willing to invest in the order, my shipyard will provide the royal family with a 20% discount. If the royal family needs my fleet, it can also be summoned like the fleets of the Redwyne family or the Velaryon family."

"This" Tyran was a little hesitant to speak. Lin Man added at the right time: "The royal family is currently planning a number of construction projects, and the funds are not very abundant, so we would like to ask whether the discount can be increased or the royal family can be allowed to buy on credit."

"My workers also need to eat, Lord Lin Man." Long Zeer sneered. "I can advance the money for shipbuilding, but I will not bear the losses caused by the royal family. Lord Lin Man, you don't want us to ride a dragon to King's Landing to collect debts. Moreover, Lord Lannister, you are the Minister of the Navy, and the expansion of the royal fleet should be handled and perfected by you."

Lin Man and Tai Lan looked at each other, and could only sigh and give up continuing the negotiations. After all, the expansion of the royal fleet is indeed not the top priority at the moment, and the gold in the treasury has other uses.

To be honest, this trip to Dragonstone did not achieve the effect that Viserys wanted. At least the rift between the queen and the princess still exists, but the fact that two marriages were facilitated made Viserys quite proud. He happily watched Long Zeer and Jacaerys fly to White Harbor and leave. Valar also brought Leila and Lusiris back to Dragon's Nest. Lord Bartimos Celtigar, who learned that his daughter was selected, excitedly asked Asor and a trusted bastard knight, York Weywater, to take a boat to Dragon's Nest. They prayed in the sanctuary of Dragonstone for a night.

Wormisor roared across the sea and passed through the valley surrounded by mountains. Longzel could even clearly see the towering Giant's Spear and the beautiful marble castle in the clouds. Unfortunately, they had no plan to tour the valley, so they missed the chance to land.

It was getting a little cold.

Jacaerys tightened the thick clothes he had just put on during the rest, and felt the message from Wormax under his crotch. The weather in the north made the young dragon feel very uncomfortable.

But in Longzel's eyes, the North was a different scene.

Wormisol slowed down so that his companions could see the looming primeval forest and the huge ice wall in the distance.

"The miracle of the old gods?" As soon as he entered the North, he felt a strange sense of being watched, and Wormisol was not very comfortable. "It's still the evil of the cold god."

The dragon slowly flew over the white port town. The northerners stared at the two dragons circling in the sky with wide eyes.

Earl Desmond Manderly watched the dragon slowly land in the Fish King Square with some nervousness. The crowd of onlookers hurriedly dispersed, and the armored knight holding the trident took over the square.

"Lord Manderly, it's an honor to meet you." The moment Longzel climbed down from the dragon's back, he recognized that the tall, strong bearded man in front of him was Earl Desmond. He had seen this Earl of White Harbor in the portrait.

"Your Highness, your arrival with the prince reminds me of the grand reception my great-grandfather gave to the centenarian king. The former king rode on Wormisol to White Harbor and made a marriage contract with the queen and my family. Unfortunately, the princess passed away."

"In addition to visiting you, I also have a mission."

"I'm sorry." The Earl of White Harbor interrupted Longzel with a sad face. "Your Highness, my beloved daughter Lea has returned to the palace of the Mermaid King forever because of a severe cold, so I'm sorry that I can't fulfill my promise."

Longzel hurriedly prepared to comfort the Earl, but suddenly noticed the boy next to Earl Manderly.

The black-haired boy with gray eyes looked at everything in front of him with a serious face, and even the dragon could not move him.

There is something wrong with this boy. Longzel reacted immediately.
