Ice and Fire: Reign of the Dragon.

Chapter 249 Illegitimate Children
After listening to his sons' words, Longzel nodded with satisfaction.

It seems that my education of Lingol was effective, and Lingol did pass on this knowledge to his younger brothers and sisters.

At least I'm not stupid enough to think that I can achieve complete and thorough victory on the battlefield.

"His Majesty the King did not intend to give Salish such a high position." Dan carefully recalled the moment when Daeron met Fulgrim. Apart from anything else, Daeron's war intuition was indeed frighteningly accurate. Although he was not clear about Salish's true purpose, he had no interest in meeting Fulgrim from the beginning.

After all, with seven dragons in hand, any ground force would be devastated. Even Braavos and Volantis could be easily brought to their knees by these seven dragons.

However, only the gods know whether this crawling on the ground is real crawling on the ground or just a pretense.

"Viserys wrote a letter to His Majesty the King, right?" The intelligence network of Dragon's Nest has obtained very accurate information about this matter. Daeron did leave Fulgrim alone for a long time and concentrated on pursuing Robert's defeated army.

It was Viserys who, after learning of this, personally sent out a raven, asking the king to agree to Sharleigh's request for peace. It is said that the king did not understand why his uncle did this.

He even childishly and angrily complained to Dan about his uncle's caution after drinking too much, thinking that Viserys' caution could not help them solve the problems they were facing, and even rashly accepting the surrender of a tyrant whose background was unknown - or a high-level member of the anti-Iron Throne alliance - or just "cooperation", would not help their war situation at all.

Dan still remembers Daeron's drunken words, which he himself may have forgotten: "I would rather kill all the guys who dare to resist with real swords and guns on the battlefield. Anyway, I have dragons, and the dragon flames will tell them who their monarch is, rather than watching them stab us with shapeless knives in the palace."

Of course, Darren's original words were definitely not these, but Dan's elegant interpretation of them.

It seems that my grandson's intuition is still very accurate.

Longzel leaned slightly against the comfortable backrest of the throne. As he was old, he definitely wanted to be more comfortable.

According to his intelligence, the small amount of industries left by the Vareses family in the East Continent provided the family with a steady stream of intelligence. One of the most important jobs of Tigaro Dagareon and Hegen Dagareon has always been to maintain this intelligence network. With the increasing number of dragons in the family as a backing, these industries called workshops, banks, taverns, and warehouses, even if the rulers of the city-states where they are located know exactly what they are, dare not take action against them.

We are also unable to defend against the infiltration of intelligence from these creatures who we don't know how many layers of skin they are covered with.

It is true that Salesh's motives were not pure.

Behind him are the bankers in Braavos who are eager for dragons, and some guys in Volantis who are wearing who knows how many layers of skin. Braavos nominally hates Volantis, a slave-owning city-state, but in fact, behind the scenes, the two most powerful city-states are never short of private transactions.

"Father," Jacaerys asked hesitantly, "Should we remind the king?"

"Jay." The speaker was Rei, who was sitting next to him. He shook his head slightly. "There is no need for that. As you said, the king has already realized that something is wrong. We will not get any good results if we continue to talk about it. Your participation in the war has given the king six powerful adult dragons. This is enough to show that the family attaches great importance to the obligations of the vassal. Dan, please continue the introduction."

"When we left, the king was preparing to go to Ho Salu. That city is not as big as Rika Lakron, but it is also one of the largest cities in the disputed land. Governor Salesh will crown the king there and add the title of 'Great Lord of the Conquered Land, Lord of the Mountains, Prince of Loina, Ka Narxing, Rika Lakron, Ho Salu and other cities' to his title." Dan's brows suddenly frowned, but soon relaxed.

Lord Loras Tarly saw Dan's expression change in an instant. As the local nobleman closest to the Vareses family, even the Dondarrion family was not as good as his family. If most of the second-generation girls of the Vareses family had not been absorbed internally, maybe he could have married a dragon's daughter.

"Dan, are you worried about His Majesty and the others?"

"No, Loras, I am not worried, Your Majesty. With Lord Joffrey, Prince Aemon and Prince Aerion here, no one can harm Your Majesty. The Horned Tide can also enter the palace hall." Dan bit his finger. He always felt that he had forgotten something.

"Dan, the king has not told you his next plan."

Longzel said calmly.

Dan suddenly realized, "Yes, father, the king did not tell me and Jay what his next plan was."

Longzel nodded: "Everyone, this is why I dissuaded everyone from joining the expedition." He glanced at the nobles below, his tone gentle, but these children who grew up in the purple palace broke out in cold sweat when his eyes swept over them. "The king can win everything on the battlefield, but off the battlefield, ruling will make him remember the lesson. Everyone just needs to wait quietly." Longzel continued: "Time will tell us everything and will also bring compensation to everyone. Now everyone can go, Serena, you stay, Ringol, and you."

Ringol glanced at his father who suddenly drove them away, and signaled to his wife Daniela with his eyes to take the children away.

Of course, he knew very well that Igor and Daenerys would be hiding nearby and eavesdropping.

They are even more familiar with the structure of the Silver Blood Tower than himself.

No one dared to question Longzel's authority, and soon, Ringol and Serena were the only ones left in the hall.

Of course, there were also the two children who left and then secretly ran back and hid in the vent.

Nothing could hide from Longzel's eyes. He almost instantly discovered the little guys hiding in the ventilation duct, but Longzel just smiled and pretended that the two little guys didn't exist.

"Serena, tell me about the situation at Harrenhal."

Longzel watched his daughter take a deep breath, walked to the side, picked up a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.

"It seems that someone has offended my good daughter." Longzel looked at his daughter, whose face was a little red, and immediately realized that his daughter was suppressing her anger, and said with a sigh. It seems that Serena was not happy during the past few months in Harrenhal.

"Aegon is a bastard." Serena said angrily, "He should be thankful that Rhaena is a good girl, gentle, kind, and tolerant. If it were me, I would have cut off his little brother."

"Serena, don't let your emotions cloud your judgment," Ringol said calmly.

"Brother, you are the least qualified to say this here." Serena retorted mercilessly. As a sister, Serena knew what kind of person Ringol was. She suddenly let out a breath. "No, I have to drink another glass." She picked and chose a glass of cold wine and poured it into her stomach. Then she slowly said: "Milissa is not the only girl who gave birth in Harrenhal. That damn Aegon put three pregnant girls with that damn pimp. Melissa's child is a..."

Serena paused and said, "A strange boy. He didn't cry when he was born, but he is alive and well. This child, uh, if I remember correctly, may be born with albinism. Father, I have never seen such a pale child, and he has a red eye and a red crow-shaped birthmark."

"It's this child."

"Huh?" Serena took a moment to react and remembered what her father had said. "I guess so."

"Any more?"

Serena nodded heavily. "Of course, the other two girls gave birth to boys, but one had red hair and no Valyrian features. Aegon was very disappointed after returning from Braavos and let the girl go. If this guy doesn't pay, I will really rush up and let my Sarafathers teach him a lesson. Anyway, Syrax can't beat Sarafathers."

"Serena, keep talking." Ringol interrupted Serena again. He knew that most of what his sister said was just out of anger, but she couldn't hide her anger.

What had Aegon done?
"Rhaena is pregnant." Serena tried to suppress her anger. "After that guy came back, he couldn't attract any women, so he could only consummate his marriage with his wife whom he never cared about. But when Rhaena became pregnant, he actually refused to acknowledge it!"

Now Lingol was no longer calm.

"He said he took moon sugar and the effect hasn't worn off yet, and that Rhaena was unfaithful to him!" Serena was almost laughing out of anger.

Even Longzel was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
