Ice and Fire: Reign of the Dragon.

Chapter 24 Imperial Meeting
Dragonstone.

The salty and humid sea breeze blew across the long bridge of the castle, and Rhaenyra couldn't help but tremble, but she still stood firm with her big belly with the help of her maid. The princess looked in the direction of Tidehead Island, where two black spots were flying towards the castle at high speed.

"Your Highness, it's very windy outside," the maid asked worriedly.

Rhaenyra shook her head firmly. "I cannot stay out of this matter, nor will I sit and wait for Daemon to give me the result."

She said in her heart: "This is the responsibility of the ruler."

Korakshuu's flipper-like hind legs slapped the surging sea surface, and with a roar, his slender body flew over the cliff and landed steadily on the long bridge. The Red Queen arrived earlier, circling over Dragonstone before landing on the other side of the long bridge. The two dragon riders landed steadily. The dusty Rhaenys hurriedly ran a few steps to support Rhaenyra.

The old princess looked at the maid with some reproach, but was stopped by Rhaenyra. She shook her head, indicating that she should not blame the maid. "I asked her to take me to wait for you."

The princess looked at Damon who was walking towards her with his head lowered. "Why didn't you tell me about this right away?"

"You need to rest, dear." Damon rubbed his hands together.

"I'm just pregnant, not dead." Rhaenyra moved to Daemon's side with the help of the old princess and the maid. "A new dragon king family has risen, and we are not yet able to completely defeat them. You know what that means."

"Targaryens are no longer the only dragons in the world."

Daemon nodded to the maid, took his wife's arm, and supported her naturally.

"And they have Wormithor and Silverwing, two old dragons who most likely gained powers unknown to us in the ruins of Valyria." Rhaenyra looked into her husband's eyes and continued.

"how do you know?"

Daemon was stunned. He remembered that the letter did not mention the ruins of Valyria.

"I'm reading." Rhaenyra rolled her eyes at Daemon. "Even if Dragonzel Vareses possesses mystical powers, he wouldn't be able to summon dragons without the blessing of the ruins of Valyria. If magic worked, we wouldn't have monopolized dragons for so many years."

"Do you have any ideas, Rhaenyra?" Rhaenys asked.

Rhaenyra looked at the two. "Can Melias and Korakshiu guarantee to kill Vermithor and Silverwing? And the huge fleet of House Vareses?"

Rhaenys shook her head. "We can't guarantee that the two old dragons that emerged from the ruins will still be the same as before, so if we fight, we will most likely kill Silverwing, but Melias and Korakshu may also die."

"We can't afford to fail," Dimon said. "So I plan to negotiate."

"You want to win them over?"

Rhaenyra looked at Daemon in disbelief.

"Essos cannot tolerate a dragon king family with giant dragons." Daemon said as he supported his wife as they walked. "Volantis will be divided because of this, and the city-states that assassinated the dragon king in the Bloody Century will be terrified by this, while conspirators and warmongers will start fighting, and the city-states will fall into chaos and eventually lose their edge."

Rhaenys took over Daemon's words and continued, "Essos is too large and too complicated, and time is actually on our side. The young dragons will eventually be able to fly and fight, and Vhagar will return to his peak in a few years."

When Vhagar was mentioned, the faces of the three men twisted.

"What conditions can you offer them?" Rhaenyra looked into Daemon's eyes. Rhaenys added, "Conditions on our side, Daemon. My granddaughter is already engaged to my grandson. You can no longer win them over through marriage." Daemon said, "Neither does Hightower of King's Landing. Her daughter married that idiot son. Haha."

Daemon smiled. "I believe my brother, our king will give us the best conditions." He left a kiss on his wife's forehead. "I will bring you dragons and armies, believe me."

The king's arrival at this moment.

This huge, chaotic city originated from the small castle built at the mouth of the Blackwater River during Aegon's conquest. As Aegon I unified the six kingdoms, this huge city sprang up. It is said that there are 50 people living in the city.

The King's Red Fortress stands on Aegon's Hill. The towering castle is majestic and solemn. It is said that the "tyrant" and "cruel" Maegor massacred all the workers after the Red Fort was completed, just to ensure that the secrets of the Red Fort would not be leaked.

Red Fort.

The members of Viserys's small council looked anxiously at Queen Alicent Hightower, who looked puzzled. They had no idea why they were urgently summoned.

The Hand of the King, Sir Otto Hightower, understood everything by looking at his daughter's expression. The king did not even tell his queen what had happened.

Sea Lord Tyran Lannister and Lord Justice Lord Jasper Wilder looked at each other and decided to remain silent.

The chief intelligence officer, Count Larris Strong, and the chancellor of the exchequer, Count Lynman Bisbury, stared at the orb in front of them, which symbolized their power, without moving.

"Where are Grand Maester Melos and Sir Cole?" Otto finally ended the silence in the hall.

"Prime Minister, we are here." Grand Maester Melos carried a large pile of books with difficulty and slowly moved to his seat.

The captain of the Kingsguard, the handsome Sir Criston Cole, followed King Viserys I in white robes and armor. As the king's personal guard, the seven white knights of the Kingsguard were basically people with strong martial arts and good moral character, at least that was the case in the eyes of the outside world, especially the captain of this term, Criston Cole, who was born in a humble family but had good martial arts and a good appearance. After the death of the previous captain, Sir Harold Westerling, Cole took over his duties and was responsible for defending the entire castle.

There was still a hint of hesitation on the king's face, but he finally sat on the main seat and placed the orb representing the king into the groove.

"Everyone, the kingdom is facing a crisis. I can only seek your wisdom."

"At your service, Your Majesty." The ministers stood up at the same time, bowed slightly to the king, and then returned to their seats.

"Grandmaster, please explain the situation."

Grand Maester Melos nodded and took out a letter.

"My lords, news has come from Dragonstone that the Blackwall nobleman of Volantis, Dragonzel Varezes, and his brother Valar Varezes, have tamed Vermithor and Silverwing using magic and other means in the ruins of Valyria. It is said that they have also harvested more than one dragon egg."

"Impossible!" Otto stood up suddenly. He had never lost his composure like this before.

At this moment, everyone in the room was shocked.
