Game of Thrones: The Bronze and Fire Lord.

Chapter 198 Father and son meet, conflict shifts

The next day.

Mill, temporary residence.

Aemon was busy handling government affairs, his quill rustling.

Johanna sat at another table, sorting out the reviewed documents.

He took down Mill surprisingly smoothly and began to deal with the reform of the new system.

Just the arrangement of food, clothing, housing, transportation, work and salary for the slaves after they were freed was a big problem.

"Diana, stop standing there and watching. Come and help."

Eamon shook his arms; his wrists were very sore.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Diana hurriedly responded, bringing a pile of documents to deal with separately.

Aemon put down his pen and breathed a sigh of relief.

This young translator brought back from Astapor still has great potential to stand on his own.

Johanna was promoted to Steward of Myr, and Diana became her assistant.

dong dong!

There was a knock on the door, and Grey Worm spoke from outside, "Your Majesty, Princess Rhaenys is here."

"Please come in quickly."

Eamon said.

Grey Worm opened the door and gestured respectfully in invitation.

"Aemon, I have something to discuss with you."

Rhaenys was not at all dragging her feet.

"I heard about the Twin Cities League."

Aemon wrinkled his nose and spoke with disgust.

"Your army has complete control over Myr, and the freed people who were liberated from slaves are loyal to your rule. You can withdraw your power as needed."

Rhaenys's eyes were serious, and she was still wearing the red soft armor.

The attack on Myr went much more smoothly than expected.

There are many things you can do while you have plenty of time.

Yimon agreed very much and got up to go out with his aunt.

As early as when the troops were dispatched, Aunt Rhaenys had laid out the entire conspiracy of the Sea Serpents and Daemon.

The two wanted to retake the Stone Steps Islands and use them to control the lower half of the strait.

Prince Koolen came forward and fanned the flames.

In a word.

They are happy when the Iron Throne is not easy.

"Sick brain."

Aemon was speechless.

Especially with Damon, it is impossible to tell what he is thinking.

This process must be carried out under the banner of Damon.

A Targaryen prince and the king's younger brother.

There is a legal basis for everything you do.

No fame at all.

……

Arriving at the port, the sparkling Mill Bay is in front of us.

"Your Majesty, the fleet is ready."

Sir Cohen, the Runeguard, guides dozens of large ships in the bay.

Yi Meng understood the situation clearly and ordered him to board the ship.

His territory is already unreasonably large, especially the two cities of Seagull Town and Mill.

However, the Stone Steps Archipelago still cannot be abandoned.

He ordered the Unsullied, the Second Sons, and the Gulltown navy to remain in Myr, commanded by Grey Worm, Robb, and Ser Llane respectively.

A total of 10,000 people are enough to suppress any accident.

The royal fleet, the royal army and the Valley coalition withdrew from Myr and rushed to the support of the Stepstones.

If there is no war, the latter two makeshift armies can be sent home.

The Strait of Malacca at this time is more accurately a "disputed area" and no large-scale war will break out again.

All three free trade cities fell, and the Three Women's Kingdoms ceased to exist.

At best, it is the remnants of the Three Women's Kingdoms that are causing harassment everywhere.

It's time to rest and recuperate. The Sea Snakes and Damon won't fight like crazy.

They both still have brains.

"Hiss!"

Melias flew over the white city wall that was under repair and landed lightly in front of the driver.

Soon, Rhaenyra and Lanar arrived on their dragons.

Let’s go back to the Stone Steps Islands together.

Aemon laughed.

Are you afraid that he will suffer a loss?
Calling Silver Wing and Gray Shadow, six dragons flew out of Mill Bay.

……

Stone Steps Islands.

It's better to come early than to arrive by chance.

Aemon rode the dragon back to Bloodstone Island first and saw a large ship about to dock from afar.

Flying the green seahorse flag, the Sea Serpent, the sea serpent's favorite ship.

"Hiss... Ga..."

Suddenly, a sharp hissing sound came from the sky, and a scarlet dragon shadow was winding in the thin clouds.

boom--

Korakxiu dived into the sky, and a familiar yet unfamiliar silver-haired figure on the saddle swayed in the wind.

On the mountains of the island, two thousand young men are building fortifications.

Seeing the dragon return, they all put down their work.

"Hiss!"

The sea serpent came ashore in a small boat, and a light silver young dragon flew over its head.

It was Haiyan driven by Lannino.

Not long after.

The dragons of both sides landed on the barren sand very close to the beach.

"Hiss!"

Syrax roared warningly, targeting the young dragon that had offended it.

Haiyan was not willing to be outdone and kept growling at Syrax, who was of similar physique.

Even giant dragons like Wormisol confronted Korakshu.

boom!
Aemon jumped off the dragon, his boots digging a small pit in the sand.

He was very calm, looking at Damon and the other two who were walking together.

"Cousin."

Seeing Lannino, Imon nodded and greeted him.

"Cousin."

Lannino smiled bitterly and scratched his head in embarrassment.

He felt he should be on the opposite side.

"Collis, your plan has failed. Don't be obsessed with it."

Rhaenys glanced at her son, hoping her husband would stop while he was ahead.

"We are not here for war."

Collis looked at the six dragons opposite him, sighed softly, and said, "I just want to fight for the rights we deserve."

"Then stand aside!"

Rhaenys took a firm attitude and walked to the side first.

Velaryon had gained enough and should not interfere in other matters.

Collis, feeling helpless, walked over to his wife.

Lannino was overjoyed and slipped between his father and mother.

Great! No need to fight!

The situation reversed and Damon had to deal with it alone.

Damon's eyes flashed coldly and he glanced at the sea snake speechlessly.

Rebellion came so quickly!
Aemon looked him up and down, pulled out Lady of Loneliness, and walked towards him.

A belly full of sarcasm and abuse, left only after meeting.

I'm too lazy to say it, you don't deserve to hear it!
Laena and Rhaenyra looked at each other, followed in unison, and sandwiched Aemon in the middle.

"Hey~"

Daemon was still able to smile, with his hands folded in front of him in Targaryen style, observing with interest.

Imon had no expression on his face. He walked ten steps away from the other person and was forced to stop.

"Hiss... Ga..."

Korakxiu was very protective of his master. He stretched out his slender snake-like body and stretched out his dragon head to block the driver.

"Hiss-"

Womisol's bronze-bright vertical pupils were gloomy. He crawled a step on the ground with his wings and let out a terrifying roar.

The silver wing and the gray shadow were startled and flew up, chasing each other at low altitude.

Yimon was thinking about what words to curse that would not involve his grandmother and the relatives within a radius.

"You look like a conqueror, son."

Damon tilted his head and smiled, then spoke first.

"You said that?"

Aemon had a cold face and used a questioning tone.

"I do not understand what you mean."

Damon looked away, pretending not to understand.

"If you call me Prince and bring up our past relationship again, I will sink you into the sea to feed the fish."

Aemon couldn't help but feel disgusted and warned.

After hearing this, the son had nightmares for three days.

Damon lost his smile and a shadow appeared in his eyes.

"You want to seize the Stepstones while I'm attacking Myr?"

Iamon was too lazy to waste time and exposed the other party's conspiracy.

"I am the Governor of the Strait of Waters and the King of the Stepstones. Your people are now living in my castle."

Damon said in an unhappy tone, pointing at Dragon Blood Castle.

He has been the king of the Stone Steps Islands for seven years!
"You gave up this place and were driven away in disgrace by the Tyroshi mercenaries." Aemon hit him straight in the heart.

Damon was immediately irritated and said angrily: "You stole this place. The pirates from the Three Women's Kingdom are just as easy to kill as a bunch of idiots."

"So, you were chased away by a bunch of idiots?"

Aemon sneered.

Damon gritted his teeth and said he was so angry.

"Leave here, or I will regard this as a declaration of war."

Aemon poked a hole in the sand with the tip of his sword and chased him away impatiently.

The water-deficient, hard sandy soil was like Damon's stinky mouth.

"You're going to inherit this place?"

Damon's eyes were gloomy and he blurted out these words.

Aemon's expression changed instantly, he took a big step forward and swung his sword.

Clang! Clang! …The sound of metal clashing rang out.

Daemon pulled out the Dark Sister and collided with the deadly Lady of Loneliness.

The two Valyrian steel swords, one long and one short, rubbed against each other, splashing out intense sparks.

"Damon, you're a bug!"

Lady Aemon the Empty fell to her left hand, turned her right hand over and took out the clan sword Sorrow.

He held the sword in both hands and danced impenetrably.

"The Stone Steps Archipelago is my territory. If you occupy it, you will inherit my family business."

Damon clenched his hands to resist, and said sharply: "When did you become so weak that you dare not even admit that you have a deep dragon bloodline?"

He doesn't think what he did was sinful.

He just thought that Aemon was just like his brother Viserys, who wanted to get rid of him, drive him away, and was full of distrust towards him.

"You think too highly of yourself. You are a poisonous snake. You enjoy the honor of your family, but then turn around and bite your blood relatives."

Imon's face was as cold as ice.

Clang! Clang! … With a piercing sound, the sword blade cut through the flesh.

His two-handed swordsmanship is even better.

Lady Hollow blocked the Dark Sister, rammed her shoulder into Daemon's open chest, and sliced ​​down into his left leg.

Damon reacted quickly and rammed Imon's head, forcing him back half a body length.

Fortunately, he moved flexibly, otherwise the sword would have cut his tendons.

Aemon took advantage of the victory and cut his opponent's arm and right thigh.

It was a close call, but he missed Damon's crotch.

Damon's face darkened, and the Dark Sisters looked up suddenly, sending chills down their spines.

"Hiss... Ga..."

Sensing that his rider was in danger, Korakhuu roared and swung his dragon head towards him.

Aemon saw it from the corner of his eye and quickly pulled back.

boom!
A gray shadow flew low in the sky, spitting out a dragon flame fireball that hit Korakshu's dragon head.

There was a cloud of smoke and Korakshu was furious. He spread his wings and was about to fly into the air to fight back.

Womisol let out a long roar and stared at the red dragon with a fierce look.

"Calm down, Korachou!"

Seeing that things were not going well, Damon called out to stop the restless dragon.

Outnumbered, even though he and Korakhu had a strong teamwork, they could not escape the fate of being torn to pieces.

"enough!"

At the critical moment, Rhaenys stepped forward and stopped them, saying, "Don't let the dragon die because of you."

Collis stepped forward and held Damon down.

"Cousin, let's talk."

Lannino sneered and blocked Imon who was unclear about his attitude.

He is a Nantong, and a Nantong without any ambition.

It doesn't mean he is stupid.

Damon is in great danger and will probably die here.

If he died, the conflict between the royal family and Velaryon would reach its peak.

My mother and sister were okay, and he was barely acquitted.

But father Collis will definitely be executed.

The black and green parties haven't clashed yet, so don't sacrifice Velaryon.

Aemon licked his lips and held down his heaving chest.

Unfortunately, he didn't get the job done.

"Do not impulse."

Lanar touched his shoulder gently and winked at Rhaenyra without revealing anything.

Rhaenyra was surprised at how fierce the fight was, and upon seeing this, she quickly grabbed Aemon's hand.

His palms were cold and his fingertips were trembling slightly.

If you cut Imon with a knife at this time, he might not even feel the pain.

Aemon took a deep breath and put away his two swords.

I kept repeating in my mind: I cannot kill my family or sacrifice the dragon.

This is a consensus and unbroken bottom line.

"Relax, we have work to do."

Lannar's eyes were filled with pity. She hugged Aemon's head and gently placed it against his fair and delicate neck.

She and her mother Rhaenys thought the same thing.

The family must not have a civil war and lose any dragon rider or dragon.

Especially the killing between father and son is the most hated by the gods.

Throughout history, those who kill their parents have never had a good ending.

"I'm not a kid anymore."

Aemon calmed down and couldn't help but laugh.

Lannar let go of her hand and rolled her eyes in boredom.

It's not because of the soft armor that someone feels the soft warmth.

Aemon pouted.

At this point, Sea Snake and Damon had no choice but to retreat.

The Stone Steps Islands cannot be taken back.

First stabilize the city-state and maintain its independence.

"and many more."

Aemon called to them.

"What else?"

Collis wanted to maintain his dignity and did not want to lose his prestige.

"House Velaryon is still a bannerman of the Iron Throne?"

Aemon's eyes rolled, ready to dig a hole.

Collis's face slightly changed, and he looked at his wife who was not walking with him.

Rhaenys death stare.

"Of course."

Collis answered in the affirmative.

He wanted to get closer to the Iron Throne, to get justice for his wife, and to expose Viserys for his mediocrity.

Instead of giving up his family business on Tidehead Island and moving to Tyrosh to become the boss himself.

Everyone present knew it very well.

Once House Velaryon leaves the Iron Throne, things will go downhill immediately.

It will be impossible to obtain the right to tame dragons for future generations in the future.

"As a vassal, you should return to King's Landing and wait for the king to reward you for your achievements."

Ignoring Lanar's complicated gaze, Aemon took two steps forward.

Sea Snake and Damon wanted independence, but he wanted it more than either of them.

The two were fed up with the unjust system, and he wanted to make a change more than the two.

After all, my uncle's indecisive character will only push away the people around him who are interested in getting close to him.

Sometimes, even he and Rhaenyra couldn't stand it.

This increasingly worsening situation must be curbed.

1. Unite the family and gather all the strength.

2. Set a "common family goal" and don't limit yourself to internal fighting.

First, Aemon is targeting the sea snakes and Daemon.

Myr, Tyrosh and Lys, as three city-states outside the Seven Kingdoms, can easily be classified as independent administrative regions.

Simply put, it is a subordinate city-state.

The ruler of a city-state has a status comparable to that of a duke of a territory.

They were divided by the word of Great Uncle Viserys and brought under the rule of the Iron Throne.

Sea Snake and Damon would be willing to clear their identities.

As long as you are nominally loyal to the Iron Throne, you will be able to use its power one day.

The second point is to establish a family council independent of the Imperial Conference.

Also known as the "Dragon Council".

Within ten years, the four Green brothers and sisters grew up and trained dragons.

In another ten years, he will have children.

If a family has many members, it cannot rely solely on the etiquette between the ruler and his subjects and the so-called family ties.

The family council should give them responsibilities and make them feel a sense of belonging.

Encourage them to stay in King's Landing to serve, or go out to open up territories.

Transfer internal conflicts to the outside.

Improve the "family common goals" that Aegon the Conqueror did not leave behind, and reduce the probability of "having nothing to do, so just start infighting".

And he will take this opportunity to gain more independence.

If necessary.

Replaces uncle Viserys and manages/supervises family members.

"Return to King's Landing, to Viserys?"

Collis frowned slightly.

On second thought, this might be an opportunity to resolve the conflict and clear Tyroshi's name.

Collis turned and looked at the silent Damon.

Damon's eyes flickered, making it impossible to read his thoughts.

I haven't seen my brother for a long time.
