Ice and Fire: Reign of the Dragon.

Chapter 49 Your Highness, It’s Time for You to Get Married
Womisol folded his wings first and landed steadily on the flat ground in front of the dragon's lair. The huge Bronze Fury, as big as a mountain, slowly crawled into the dragon's lair, followed by Silver Wing.

The dragon cave of the Vareses family is similar to the dragon cave of Dragonstone Island. There are no chains for the dragons, but they build nests and live by themselves. The dark green Vermax and the gray-white Arax stretched their necks and roared at the big guys in the nest, then looked at the two dragons eagerly. Shadow Nightmare hid in the shadows, and his gray-white eyes also stared at Vermithor and Silver Wing.

The Shadow Nightmare is growing at an alarming rate. Its neck length, body length and wingspan change almost every day. The only thing that remains unchanged is its skinny body.

When Vermax and Arax first arrived, they were very curious about Shadow Nightmare, but soon kept their distance from him. After all, the dragon's appearance was indeed a bit... strange.

Valar was the first to climb down from Silver Wing, gently stroked Silver Wing's scales a few times, turned around and ran to Rey and Lusris, and fiercely stroked the children's hair twice.

"I'm so tired from flying, brother, is there any mutton today?"

"Yes." Longzel slowly climbed down from Wormisol's back. Wormisol turned his head and gently touched Longzel's raised hand with his huge head before lazily retracting his dragon head. "Good job this time, old buddy."

"When the dragon has finished eating, send the remaining mutton to the kitchen. No strong liquor is allowed, and the same applies to you guys. What about Xiaojie?" Longzel's words silenced Valar. However, Longzel only said that no strong liquor was allowed, so fruit wine and light wine should be fine.

"Xiaojie is in the Laurel Tower." Rey answered first.

Longzel nodded and said, "Yeah, that's good, Xiaolu, after you feed the dragons, go find Xiaojie and we'll have dinner at the Silver Blood Tower."

Prince Luthris nodded.

The Silver Guards of the Dragon Cave carefully drove a group of sheep into the Dragon Cave. Womisol glanced at the flock of sheep, and the Silver Guards hurriedly retreated.

A mouthful of scorching dragon flame swallowed the sheep before they could react. A heat wave swept through the dragon's lair, but the teenagers did not feel anything unusual and did not even sweat.

Longzel looked at Lusris who was staring at the cooked mutton and couldn't help but sigh softly.

After Womisol's dragon flame was exhausted, only a pile of roasted mutton was left at the entrance of the cave. The two big dragons took the lead in tearing the mutton, and the three small dragons also came over and devoured the roasted fat sheep in big mouthfuls.

During the previous war, Womisoel and Silver Wing ate a lot of horse meat and human flesh. They enjoyed the meal very much. On the way back, the two dragons also hunted whales, so they didn’t eat much at this time and returned to their respective nests to sleep.

The remaining mutton was eaten up by the three little dragons. Although Shadow Nightmare looks skinny, it has a big appetite and will even roar at Araxes when he tries to snatch food from him.

Of course, there is enough meat.

Several young men waited together for the giant dragon to finish enjoying the meat, and after helping the giant dragon clean its scales, they returned to the Silver Blood Tower.

Dinner was ready, and Jacaerys came back with the servants, carrying a thick book.

The dinner in Dragon Nest City was not rich. The staple food was white bread and rice mixed with sauce. Tianping Valley was very suitable for growing rice, so Longzel ordered the opening of a large area of ​​paddy fields there. The meat was roasted mutton, mutton soup, and soup stewed with chopped sausages and onions. In addition, there were fresh cabbages and fruits.

But the Vareses’ cook was so good that almost no one spoke at the table.

Only after all the dishes on the table were eaten up did the boys lie back in their chairs contentedly to digest their food.

"Your Highness, a letter from King's Landing." Assistant Maester Evans pushed open the side door, glanced at the young men who were staggering around the long table, and couldn't help licking the oil stains on his lips. He enjoyed the same food in the Raven Tower, but the portion was a little smaller.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, just give it to me." Longzel, who was originally lying on the chair rubbing his stomach, immediately sat up and took the letter from Evans.

Then the corners of Longzel's mouth began to twitch.

"Brother, what's wrong?" Valar asked puzzledly.

Rei seemed to have guessed something and exchanged glances with Lusris. Then, looking at Xiaolu's clear eyes, Rei retracted his gaze.

Jacaris, however, thought of some rumors in the palace and looked at Longzel with some worry. "I still can't escape this day."

Longzel sighed. He looked at Valar. "Don't be idle either. This letter is related to you as well."

"what?"

"No." Longzel unfolded the letter, which was a very long letter. "King's Landing will arrange our marriage as soon as possible." The young man sighed. "They are afraid that the Dornish will marry us."

"what?"

"The letter lists the girls of marriageable age who rule the Iron Throne." Longzel spread the letter on the table. "Xiaolu, take Rey to rest."

Prince Lusris nodded and pulled Rei, who had a smirk on his face, out of the hall.

Jacaerys came closer. He was familiar with aristocracy, but the densely packed emblems on the letter still made his scalp tingle.

You can only pick out the important ones first.

There are many noble girls in the King's Territory. I don't know if it's because the King's Landing is in a hurry, but there is always a suspicion that they are just making up the numbers. Among them are three girls from the Darkling family in Duskendale, the eldest daughter of Earl Stokeworth, Earl Rosby's four-year-old daughter and his sister, Earl Staunton's daughter, and Earl Balemon's daughter.

Don't know anyone.

Prince Jacaris was also confused. When did the royal nobles have so many daughters?
There were few girls of the right age in the North, so Ser Benard, regent of Lord Cregan Stark, recommended his daughter, and Lord Desmond Manderly of White Harbor recommended his daughter and sisters.

Ser Tyran Lannister recommended members of his family, no less than 10 girls with the surname Lannister, with a focus on his twin brother, Duke Jason Lannister's two daughters, Tishara and Celela. Duke Jason's wife, Lady Joanna Westerling, also recommended several girls from the Westerling family.

There are several active nobles in the Reach. The Florent family believes that only girls from their family are worthy of the prince who rides a dragon. The Rowan family said that the above is nonsense. The Rowan family has two girls of the right age, both of whom are pure and beautiful. Earl Tully silently recommended his second daughter Sansa and Diana Tully, who knows Dragonzel and is still temporarily living in Dragon's Nest. Lyman Beesbury also recommended his youngest daughter. The Tyrell family continued to remain silent because there were no girls of the right age in his family.
Lord Urwin Peake brought out his three-year-old daughter, Miriam, and suggested that they could get engaged first, but Lord Peake insisted that his daughter was the most suitable.

The Hightower family is relatively silent, and the main branch of his family has no daughters of marriageable age.
Stormland was more direct. Borros wrote directly to King's Landing, saying, "I have four daughters, any one of them will do." Earl Cullen and Earl Swan also recommended girls from their respective families.

Lord Edric Dondarrion could only look at his only remaining son, Jon, and sigh.

Longzel was also sighing. Politics sometimes made everything a mess. He believed that the Dornish would send the same letter soon.

At the end of the letter, the king once again emphasized the covenant between the two families. If a princess was born in the royal family, the priority marriage partner would still be a Targaryen princess.

Longzel picked up the letter and covered his face with it.

He suddenly felt very tired.

Just at this time.

There was a roar outside the window.

Longzel stood up immediately.

A dragon is coming.
