Game of Thrones: The Bronze and Fire Lord.

Chapter 145: Lady Jenny of the Eagle's Nest

115AC.

It is April in the valley.

In Fushi City, the chimney-like castle stands tall, and sheep dung is scattered all over the ground at the foot of the city wall.

Click, click, click...

A white-haired golden-nosed rat that looked like a ball of wool was squatting at the foot of the wall, holding a nut in its little paws and chewing it quickly.

The fur is stained with sheep dung residue, turning from white balls into sheep dung balls.

"Prince, it's almost lunch time."

White Knight Steve stood in the hot sun, trying helplessly to persuade.

"Okay, right away."

There was a faint response, but there was a hint of perfunctory attitude hidden in the seriousness.

It's like lying in bed in the morning, and when you hear your mom calling you to eat, you have to pretend to be awake and reply with "I'll be there right away."

At this time, Imon was squatting at the foot of the wall, scribbling on white paper according to the blurred characters on the wall tiles.

More than half a year has passed since the King's Landing Tournament.

His Royal Highness returned safely to the valley and began a peaceful and leisurely country life.

The main focus is on sedimentation.

There were no setbacks, but it was very rewarding.

First, the infrastructure of River Valley Town was completed.

Secondly, after Womisol ate the second blood-origin fruit, his body grew by several meters within a few months.

Compared with the first time I swallowed the Blood Origin Fruit, the effect was greatly reduced.

But things are not unchanged in Womisoor.

Imon could sense the subtle improvement.

It seems to be accumulating strength and enhancing its indescribable foundation.

In addition, like Allison giving birth to a child, the sea snakes returning to Tidehead Island...

Aemon is concerned.

Time passed by little by little, and the sun became brighter and brighter.

As sweat broke out on the White Knight's forehead, the sound of the pen falling suddenly stopped.

"Okay, let's go back."

Aemon smiled and tapped the charcoal on the paper.

A dozen incomplete runes were drawn, marking different sorting orders.

"Zhizhi~~"

The golden-nosed mouse gathered its strength and ate all the nuts faster.

If you don't eat it, it will be snatched away.

"You must be stingy."

Aemon took a glance, shook the sheep dung ball, and put it on his shoulder with disgust.

I don’t know when the green shoulder bag became smaller.

His Royal Highness the Prince has lost his beloved bag.

……

On the way, Aemon greeted the knights and civilians along the way and received many smiling greetings.

We are all old acquaintances.

His Royal Highness is very much loved.

As he walked, Aemon searched for bricks and tiles in every corner.

After tasting the sweetness of the "Solid Rune", my curiosity about the ancient runes was rekindled.

Fushi City has existed for more than six thousand years.

Many inconspicuous corners hide runes that no one cares about.

After searching for half a year, I collected thousands of unclear runes with a high repetition rate.

What's more, he actually found a special rune on the stone pillar of an abandoned ancient altar.

This rune is somewhat incomplete and needs to be studied and completed.

“The future is promising!”

Eamon was full of energy, his voice a little hoarse.

Steve observed for a while and turned his head silently.

His Royal Highness the Prince turned 14 next month, and his voice is changing.

Yimon had nothing to do, so he called up his personal panel.

Aemon Targaryen

Bloodline: Dragon King of Old Valyria (43%)

Comment: "A strong and healthy boy."

There is no change in the witchcraft column, but there is an additional item "Runeology" in the skill column.

Although it is only an entry-level level, it means that the work is not in vain.

Imon was very satisfied. He liked this kind of visible progress.

Flip the panel.

White mist filled the air, and three magic cards were suspended in the air.

None of them are worth redeeming.

At the bottom of the panel, next to the golden hourglass, there is a number: [Essence Quantity: 3210]

After ten months of accumulation, we became rich again.

……

Spacious lobby.

The maid set the plates and served lunch.

"Aemon, here."

As soon as I walked into the hall, Lanaer waved from the dining table.

A tight-waisted beige long skirt outlines her curvy figure, and her mature and gentle temperament is convincing.

Aemon quickened his pace.

Besides the White Knight and his squire, they were the only two people in the hall.

Lannar sat gracefully at the next seat, her brows slightly furrowed.

"what happened?"

Aemon moved closer and could see that the bad woman was hiding something.

Lanar shook her head and said softly, "We'll talk about it later."

A moment of effort.

Lady Rhea came down from upstairs, her brown curly hair tied behind her head and she was wearing a copper-studded leather armor.

He is dressed very heroically and it seems he is going hunting again.

"Let's eat."

Mrs. Leia spoke calmly and picked up her knife and fork.

The Royce family believes in both the old and new gods and has no habit of praying before meals.

Aemon started to eat.

White bread + venison and matsutake soup + smoked sausage, a very rich combination.

Lannar scooped a bowl of broth for the other party and scooped some mushrooms such as Matsutake for herself.

The atmosphere at the table was quiet and no one started talking.

Aemon raised his eyes and looked around, and saw a little tail following his mother.

The boy had black hair and a fairly handsome appearance, and looked to be about 13 or 4 years old.

This is the appearance and height of a real 13 or 4 year old, completely different from the tall stature of His Royal Highness the Prince.

Arnold Arryn, cousin of Lady Jeyne of the Eyrie.

He was pushed onto the stage to question Lady Jenny's female inheritance rights. After failing, he was arranged to go to Fushishi City to serve as a servant of his mother, Lady Rhea.

From this point, two problems can be seen.

Jenny Arryn was not ruthless enough and did not wipe out the roots.

Her position is not stable enough, otherwise someone would do something for her.

"I'm done eating."

Madam Leia ate quickly and stood up to give instructions: "I'm going to go hunting. Runestone City is in your hands. Keep an eye out for letters from Eagle's Nest City."

Arnold hurried to follow, doing the work of a servant.

Aemon rolled his eyes.

My mother is really stubborn and still dislikes him.

the reason is simple.

Although he was not engaged, it was rumored among the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms that Laena and Rhaenyra were already engaged.

Janesf's father, Earl Redford of the Red Fort, knew that his daughter had no hope, so he decided to send her to the Eyrie to serve as Jenny Arryn's female companion.

Because of this, Jane Sifu cried secretly several times.

My mother had already adopted her as her daughter, so she was naturally furious.

It was not until half a month ago that Jen Sifu was allowed to go to Eagle's Nest City.

My mother is a person who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Jane Sifu has been with her for almost two years.

It’s a lie to say that I’m willing to give it up.

"Ugh."

Aemon sighed.

Jane Sifu is very good in all aspects and has helped him a lot in gaining a foothold in the valley.

Before leaving, he gave the other party the dragon bone whistle.

It's a token of my appreciation.

Lanar stopped eating, wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and said helplessly: "Aemon, we should go back to Riverdale."

She was born on Chaotou Island, and Hegu Town is half her home.

But Fushi City belongs to Lady Leia.

She can't be said to be living under someone else's roof, but she is not happy living under someone else's roof.

Hearing this, Yimeng couldn't help but feel distressed, and said firmly: "Okay, we'll leave when mom comes back."

The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has always been difficult.

"Hmm~"

Lanaer leaned gently on the other's shoulder, like a big cat seeking caress. She didn't want to go back to Riverdale unless it was absolutely necessary.

Because of where Rhaenyra is.

After the construction of the Valley City was completed, two white city walls were completed one after another.

After infrastructure construction, the military will naturally need to be expanded.

The Valley Town gathered three hundred valley knights, one thousand two hundred longbowmen, and five hundred standing troops, and trained their troops in batches to encircle and suppress the high mountain clans in the Bright Moon Mountains.

Rhaenyra rode Syrax into battle to improve her dragon-riding skills.

After all, it's going to the battlefield, the baptism of blood and fire.

It’s just that the Gaoshan clan has suffered a lot.

……

King's Landing.

Red Fort, Assembly Hall.

"Everyone, what do you want to discuss?"

Viserys smiled and looked around at the courtiers.

It is not difficult to see that His Majesty the King is in a very good mood.

The marriage of the eldest daughter, Rhaenyra, was settled.

Although they are not officially engaged, that guy would not dare to break the contract even if he had ten times the courage.

It solved a big worry for him.

Allison gave birth to his third son safely in January.

It happened to be Aemon's naming day, so he rushed to the Red Keep to celebrate.

Aemon named his youngest son Daeron Targaryen.

It sounds like a good name!
"Your Majesty, the council is being convened temporarily regarding Prince Daemon and the sea serpent Corliss."

Grand Secretary Melos drooped his old face and spoke slowly.

Viserys wondered, "Are they together again?"

"There is not enough intelligence. The problem lies with the Stepstone Islands."

Tailan added.

Viserys frowned slightly and said in annoyance, "It's the Stepstones again. When will the kingdom be able to get rid of that shitty place?"

The Stepstones have been plagued by conflict since the days of Grandfather Jaehaerys.

My uncle, Aemon Targaryen, was accidentally assassinated because of the Stepstones.

From then on, the nobles of the seven countries reached a consensus.

No one can conquer the Stepstones for long!
He is not afraid of war, but the cost is not worth it.

Melos ignored the king's complaints and told him the intelligence: "Prince Daemon has a close relationship with the nobles of Lys. He took mercenaries to occupy the Stepstone Islands and built a castle on Bloodstone Island and Grey Gallows Island respectively."

These two islands are the largest in the archipelago.

"so what?"

Viserys poked his head out, looking odd. "Isn't it a good thing that the bastard has finally settled down, outside the Seven Kingdoms?"

"The problem is that the Sea Snake has arrived at the Stepstone Islands with a fleet and seems to be planning a war."

Meros turned serious.

Viserys was stunned when he heard this, and silently turned the emerald ring on his left thumb.

Law Minister Jasper, who had been pretending to be dead, spoke up at this time: "Your Majesty, my friends in Tyrosh said that Myr and Tyrosh have formed an alliance to exclude Lys."

Viserys's face changed slightly.

The domestic fight among the three women is not new news.

It seems that Damon is not satisfied with one stone archipelago, and what he really wants is to conquer an island of free trade.

The sea snake followed the scent.

Not surprisingly, the old partners hooked up again.

Viserys snorted.

Sea Snake and Damon are half-relatives, so it's not surprising that they are hooking up with each other.

A family hits a bottleneck period, with nowhere to go.

But they also underestimated the financial strength of the Free Trade Cities.

"Your Majesty, don't worry about this matter, just let them try."

The taciturn Leonor finally spoke.

He noticed the king twirling the emerald ring on his finger and realized that he was in a state of anxiety.

"Haha, you're right."

Viserys smiled and rubbed the emerald ring across his face.

A gift from my nephew Eamon!

I heard that this is a treasure worn by the water wizard Royna, and it has magical powers.

He wears it all the time and feels energetic every day.

The cuts on my body no longer hurt, and the wounds that were previously inflamed and pus-oozing have improved. I just need to change the dressings frequently.

This made him feel very surprised and cherish this treasure even more.

In addition to the hobby of collecting hand...stone carvings, now there is an additional ring.

Even after being polished day and night, the jade ring still lost its patina.

Worry!

Melos, Tailan and the others looked at each other, and tacitly stopped mentioning the Stone Steps Archipelago.

Both the sea serpent and Daemon were objects of dislike in the king's mind.

They don't say it, but someone does.

Old man Lin Man raised his eyebrows, his forehead wrinkles smoothed, and he said slowly and methodically, "Mrs. Jenny from Eagle's Nest wrote to me and wants to hold a naming day celebration in Eagle's Nest."

"Oh, what time?"

Viserys became interested.

Rhaenyra happened to be in the valley and could attend in his place.

Lin Man said: "It's the end of the month, time is very tight."

Viserys wondered. "Then only the nobles of the Vale will make it in time?"

After thinking about it, I suddenly realized.

This naming day celebration may have other purposes.

Jenny Arryn inherited the Eyrie at the age of three, and seventeen years later, she was still an unmarried old maid.

She probably wanted to use the name day as an excuse to choose a husband from among the nobles of the valley.

Viserys waved his hand and decided: "Let Rhaenyra go with Aemon to improve her relationship with Lady Jeyne."

The Arryn family is the family of the late wife Emma and a loyal ally of the royal family.

Go and show off your relationship in front of others.

As soon as the words came out.

Leonor looked at the king in amazement.

Are you serious?

Prince Aemon founded the town of Dale, and his soldiers swept through the mountain clans in the Mountains of the Moon all day long, and merchants frantically plundered the markets of the Vale of Naerlin.

As time went on, it had already caused dissatisfaction in Eagle's Nest City.

Besides, Prince Aemon inherited his father's romantic nature, and it is well known in the Seven Kingdoms that he likes mature women.

Is it really suitable to contact the single and unmarried Mrs. Jenny! ?

"what happened?"

Viserys didn't understand why he was looking at him, and he had something to say.

Leonor shook his head: "You decide."

Some things cannot be said casually.

Prince Aemon is notoriously petty.

"Okay, let's break up the meeting."

Viserys was happy and planned to go back to see his youngest son.

The ministers in the imperial court stood up and left.

Lin Man was laughing happily and walked behind the crowd.

I pondered secretly and decided to send a raven message to Her Royal Highness the Princess later.

With Prince Aemon's secret solicitation, he has become a full-fledged member of the Black Party.

At the imperial meeting, he had more say.

……

at the same time.

Fushi City, bedroom.

“A-choo, A-choo…!”

Aemon sneezed twice in a row and began to grumble in his heart.

He sneezed for no reason. Someone must be teasing him behind his back.

Don't let him catch you, you insolent fellow.

Lannar lay gracefully beside the bed, holding two pieces of letter paper in her hands.

"What's the news?"

Aemon moved closer and saw the crescent moon eagle and seahorse emblems.

"Go, don't rub it."

Lanar patted him lightly and said, "Lady Jenny of Eagle's Nest is celebrating her name day. Lady Rhea is invited to participate."

"without me?"

Aemon rested his head on the big soft bear.

"Your letter is probably in Riverdale."

Lanar couldn't push him away, so she said helplessly.

Aemon pulled out another letter and asked, "Where's the letter from Tidehead?"

When I opened it and took a closer look, my face turned black immediately.

A letter from my cheap brother-in-law.

Lanino wrote in the letter that Collis and Aunt Renis were urging him to get married and were actively selecting marriage partners in the royal territory and across the strait.

Collis received an invitation to the Eyrie, forcing him to marry Jeyne Arryn.

"You are trying to make things difficult for me."

Yimon was speechless and just kept pushing the big bear around.

It's no secret that he covets the Vale, so why would the Velaryon family join in on the fun?

"Okay, don't be angry."

Lannar laughed: "Lannino will never pursue a girl, let him hide in the valley for a while."
