Ice and Fire: Reign of the Dragon.

Chapter 348 Friendship, No, Ally

Damon looked at the black-haired boy in front of him with confusion, but a smile soon appeared on his face.

"It is my pleasure, Aegor, my brother."

"Let me admit it first."

It's not that he did nothing before returning to Westeros, it's just that he didn't have the same perverted intelligence capabilities as the Varese family, so he collected very little intelligence.

However, the Dragon Chasers were able to gather quite detailed intelligence on these brothers and members of the royal family thanks to their spies in King's Landing.

Prince Aemon is upright and "pedantic", but actually very good at adapting. He is not completely against King Aegon's behavior, but is worried that the situation will get out of control and lead to bitter consequences. Before King Aegon makes a decision, he opposes it with all his strength. After the matter is done, he tries his best to maintain the balance. This man is actually very dangerous. Everything he does is out of a sense of responsibility to the Targaryens. This is actually nothing for Daemon, but for the dragon chaser standing behind him, Prince Aemon is a terrifying guy.

He could always stand with Varese to wipe out the descendants of the Dragon King for the benefit of the Targaryens. But may the gods bless him, the sick Aemon may have a hard time affecting the subsequent plans of the Dragon Chasers.

Prince Aerion is irritable and generous. He seems reasonable but is actually stubborn. He has been firmly opposed to King Aegon's plan from the beginning and even stayed away from King's Landing for a long time for this reason. He is also extremely dangerous. Moreover, there is more than one dragon in Oldtown. His son Varys also rides a dragon. Varys doesn't have much opinion, but since his father is there, they are naturally in the same camp.

Equally dangerous.

The two dragon riders, Prince Maegon and Princess Alysanne, are not that dangerous. Maegon is gentle, humble, and has no opinions. He is a typical fence-sitter. His children are not yet grown up, but in the foreseeable future, the royal family will definitely let his son ride a dragon.

Princess Alysanne, however, is already quite old and has experienced three failed marriages.

Three times, her husbands all came from prominent families, but none of them lasted more than five years. Her first husband treated her very well, but he accidentally fell off his horse while hunting, broke his bones and was unable to recover in time, and died of infection.

The second husband brought a large number of gold dragons and built a luxurious manor for the princess in the royal territory, but he died suddenly at a banquet due to overwork.

The third husband was a brave knight who once rode a dragon to heaven with the princess. However, he was seriously injured in the war of conquering the land. He eventually ended his life in pain with poppy milk. He left the princess a large piece of land in the conquered land.

The failure of her marriage directly led to Princess Alysanne's seclusion, and she often wandered around the manor palace built for her by her second husband, dressed in black. On the one hand, the people were grateful for the princess' kindness and occasional help, but on the other hand, they were afraid of her dragon and the bizarre cause of her husband's death.

So people don't call her the "Black Witch" or the "Black Widow", but call her the "Black Princess" with awe.

When Daemon learned about Princess Alysanne's situation, he had an outrageous idea, but he quickly came to his senses. He knew that this princess, who was already not young, would most likely not get involved in the internal disputes of the royal family.

She is not of great importance.

Among the bastards, Benson tried to remain absolutely neutral and stay out of the matter. The Dragon Chasers described this as "stupid". They have a way to make the so-called neutrality a joke. Harry and Garin are both extremely cautious guys. Many of the Dragon Chasers' strongholds in King's Landing fell into Garin's hands. So the Dragon Chasers have no information about the two of them and can only persuade Damon to be careful.

As for Galins, whether he can survive depends on the will of the Seven Gods.

Aegor was ambitious. After the news of him taming the sheep thief spread, the dragon chasers confirmed the boy's ambition without hesitation. Daemon was confident that he could make such an ambitious warrior his partner.

The two young men walked into the courtyard of the Red Castle. At this time, no one was training here.

Aegor skillfully picked out a piece of armor from the pile and threw it to Daemon: "This is what I wore before. It came from a knight who had been on the battlefield. It is of the best quality."

"Thank you." Daemon put on the breastplate neatly, tied the straps, pushed Blackfire carefully behind him, and took out a long sword and a shield from the pile of weapons.

"Why don't you use Blackfire? I want to see how sharp it is." Aegor said dissatisfiedly while holding the battle axe. "I am the keeper of Blackfire, not the user. Let's start, my brother."

Damon used his shield to protect his body and rushed forward. Iger also raised his shield. The two shields collided. Iger instantly felt a huge force coming from his arms and had to take several steps back to maintain his balance.

The next moment, Daemon swung his sword fiercely, and the iron practice sword cut scars on the wooden shield. For a moment, Aegor was completely suppressed.

"Well done, you are worthy of being the knight who broke the army. It seems that it was you who really chopped off the head of that dead Kaa." Aegor blocked Daemon's sword with a smile. His shield was already in tatters, so he simply untied the straps and picked up a war hammer from the side with both hands.

Next, Daemon will face the angry Aegor.

The battle axe blocked the long sword, and the war hammer went straight to Daemon's breastplate.

Sawdust flew.

Damon decisively used the shield as another weapon, and the two of them fought back and forth on the training ground, making it a very lively fight.

"clang!"

A terrible scar appeared on Damon's shield, and he could no longer support himself from Aegor's hammer. Aegor's axe was also knocked away by Damon's superb swordsmanship.

The next moment, Daemon swung his shield down without hesitation, firmly sticking Aegor's hammer on the crack.

The long sword pressed down, hitting Aegor's breastplate.

"Can you prove me, my brother?"

Iger laughed and nodded.

"You are good, I recognize you, my brother."

"Thank you, my brother."

"It's weird, Damon. I've heard of you. We are all jealous of your status and sad about your fate."

Iger stretched out his hand, and this time, the two of them held hands normally.

"I'm here to tell you a piece of news. Father is ready to let you tame dragons. I will provide you with this opportunity." Aegor looked at Daemon and said with a smile, "I have to know what kind of person I'm facing, don't you think, Daemon?"

Damon smiled.

From here, he knew that there was no friendship between him and Iger.

But that’s fine too.

Allies are sometimes more reliable than friends.
