Ice and Fire: Reign of the Dragon.

Chapter 223 I can accept it

Late at night, Dragon Nest City.

The dragons in the dragon cave of Dragon's Nest City are famous for their different personalities. Some prefer to stay in their nests for months at a time without moving, while others prefer to fly around. Therefore, the latter take on the mission of patrolling the territory.

In the absence of Cendros, who is usually the most active, this mission falls back on Shadow Nightmare.

The skinny black dragon quietly spread its wings that blocked out the moonlight in the night. The giant dragon leaped over the towering towers of Dragon's Nest City, flew over the brightly lit night of Midsummer Hall, flew silently over the remnants of the Red Mountains, and finally landed on the top of the Twin Towers.

Now, it is difficult for Shadow Nightmare to even land on the top of the tower that once supported it, Womax, Storm Cloud and Araxes. Shadow Nightmare must carefully avoid any position that may be collapsed by it, as Rey is already waiting there.

Among the three brothers, only Valar has aged the most obviously. Longzel still looks like a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties. Rey is even worse. He doesn't have much of a beard and there isn't even a single wrinkle on his face. But everyone knows that this young and kind-looking guy is even more terrifying than his god-like brother.

Because he would really kill someone.

According to unreliable information, the collapse of Oldtown might have something to do with him that is not known to outsiders, and Varese's profit in the Stepstones War and the fact that the Baratheon family did not achieve their original goal seemed to be driven by this important member of the Varese family.

"Roar~" Shadow Nightmare let out a comfortable roar, stretched his head in front of Rey's outstretched hand, and let his old friend stroke his bony head.

Rei deciphered the meaning of its roar.

Old friend, everything is peaceful in the territory today. But there seems to be a smell of the same kind, but it can't be sure which one it is.

"It doesn't matter which way, old man." Rey leaned his head against his dragon's.

At this moment, Shadow Nightmare suddenly looked up at the sky vigilantly.

In the distant night sky, a topaz-colored dragon shadow quietly slid out from the darkness.

Syrax immediately spotted the Shadow Nightmare looking at him. The huge golden beast wanted to roar, but was gently held down by Prince Aegon behind him.

"Syrax, calm down. The dragons here are more ferocious than those in the dragon's lair."

Syrax decisively swallowed the roar that was about to come out and flapped his wings to increase his speed.

Shadow Nightmare looked coldly at Syrax who was getting closer and closer, turned around and flew into the air, watching Syrax fly a circle carefully and land on the top of the Twin Towers.

The Nightmare was now much larger than Syrax, and its skinny and terrifying appearance made Syrax curl up cautiously as soon as he landed.

Prince Aegon jumped down from the dragon saddle solemnly and bowed respectfully to Rey.

Rey watched Prince Aegon complete the standard audience etiquette neatly, then glanced at Syrax and said, "Your Highness Aegon, if I remember correctly, His Majesty the King should have asked you to go to Braavos as an envoy."

"Yes, Your Highness." Prince Aegon took a deep breath. Meeting this great uncle who looked difficult to deal with? It must be this generation. It was indeed not an easy task.

"But I am not at ease with myself." Prince Aegon said sincerely. He was familiar with the look in Rey's eyes, because Viserys also looked at him in the same way.
Wait, that's not right.

Prince Aegon became alert instantly. He was very clear about how he was viewed by outsiders. Under normal circumstances, others would look at him like Aemon and the others, or uninformed outsiders, thinking that he was an incurable lustful man, a playboy who could not control his lower body. Their eyes would be filled with disgust, contempt, or even obvious hostility.

But neither Rey nor Viserys was like that. The way they looked at him was a curiosity to know what he wanted to do next, and a feeling of regret for not being able to make it. After all, Viserys knew his useless son best and knew what kind of person he really was.

But Rei and I have nothing in common at all.
However, Rei did not have much of a feeling of disappointment. He was more curious and a little wary. It seemed that the intelligence was correct. Rei also saw Prince Aegon's momentary vigilance, and could not help but improve his evaluation of the intelligence collected by Tigaro and Hegen.

The eldest brother’s old brothers are still reliable.

Prince Aegon is definitely not as lustful as he appears to be. At least the way he is seen by the public is not the same person as the real him. However, the gap may not be as big as Heggen estimated.

After all, in that boy's estimation, Prince Aegon was using his lust as a cover to secretly do big things. But after reading all the information, Rey could only say that the boy was still too young. He mistook some of the things done by Prince Aemon, Prince Aerion, and Prince Viserys, especially the aftermath of Prince Viserys, as the behavior of Prince Aegon.

That will definitely result in problems.

"Your Highness, I would like to see His Royal Highness Prince Longzel." Prince Aegon said respectfully, "Could you please inform me?"

"Brother is already asleep." Rey shook his head. Since he turned sixty, Longzel has been keen on sleeping like Womisol. Especially after Diana gradually became less energetic, Longzel cherished the time he could enjoy the warmth of the velvet bed with his wife even more.

Children also need enough sleep.

Therefore, the lights in the bedrooms on the top floor of the Silver Blood Tower are often turned off very early.

"This..." Prince Aegon was stunned, and all kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind.

He was hesitant about whether to tell Rey directly what he wanted to do.
Forget it, just do it for the family, to live up to the bloodline in my body, and for Darren.

"Your Highness, I can tell you the truth." Prince Aegon looked at Rey sincerely, and Rey read determination and sincerity in his eyes.

This is quite good.

"I can control myself and not actively look for women in Braavos, and I can control Syrax and stop it from laying eggs, but I can't guarantee that I won't be tricked by Braavos." Prince Aegon laid out his situation.

Rei tilted his head and raised his finger.

"I can give you some suggestions on this issue." Rey looked at Prince Aegon and said, "There is a chronic poison in Lys that will kill your seed. As long as the dosage is not large, it will not affect your future life, nor will it overly affect your offspring."

He looked at Prince Aegon, whose eyes suddenly lit up.

"But no one knows whether its effects will be lost due to too little dose, and no one knows how long it will last."

Rei extended a second finger.

"You have dragons. You will use them to teach the people of Braavos the price of coveting the offspring of a true dragon. Tell them not to forget how their ancestors escaped."

Rey smiled as he looked at Prince Aegon's crotch. "Or you can find an excuse not to enter Braavos and be fine."

"I can accept any price." Prince Aegon hesitated for a moment, then said without hesitation: "As long as it does not harm the interests of the family."

Today is the only update I will do. I will sort out the outline of the Great Expedition and prepare for the three updates this weekend.
