Game of Thrones: The Bronze and Fire Lord.

Chapter 202 Damon wants a divorce!
After discussing for a long time, they even ended up talking on the bed.

Rainier's pretty face flushed and she felt hot.

"We can't come to a conclusion through discussion."

Yimon pretended to be sad.

"They must be hiding something."

Rhaenyra was stubborn and quietly turned her head to show only the side of her face.

Yimeng teased, "Uncle can't sell me out, right?"

"Hmm~"

……

Another day passed.

good news:
Viserys made a decision and summoned his ministers for a meeting.

bad news:
Sir Steve told us that Sea Snake and Daemon had had several private conversations with Viserys in the past few days.

Apparently, the three parties had reached some kind of py deal.

……

Throne Hall.

Imon arrived later and by this time everyone was basically there.

As soon as he entered the door, princes and ministers all looked at him sideways.

Iemon was seen with long silver-gold hair draped over his shoulders, wearing a black suit, a dragon scale-shaped shawl on his right shoulder, and the clan sword Lady of Silence on his waist.

He was already tall, and was getting even stronger as he approached adulthood.

With a handsome face and a stern expression, he strode into the hall with big strides.

Behind him were two Rune Guards, one on the left and one on the right, with serious expressions under their helmets.

"It's the Prince Regent."

Some people spoke carefully, deliberately lowering their voices so as not to attract attention.

The Strait War was fought quickly and ended in less than a year.

Many people in the seven countries have heard of it, but they know the inside story.

But the name of "Prince Regent" Aemon Targaryen is well-known.

Once the attack was launched, they captured the Stone Steps Islands at lightning speed, wiped out the pirates of the Three Women's Kingdom, and then sold them to the Slave Bay in exchange for a huge sum of money.

During the trip to Slaver's Bay, he purchased an army of 5,000 Unsullied and liberated New Ghis and Astapor.

I heard that Slave Bay is now in civil strife, with the slave city-states and liberated city-states fighting each other.

Many people are wondering whether the Prince Regent will ride his dragon to provide assistance.

Of course, what really shocked the world must be the fall of the Three Women's Kingdom.

The Seven Kingdoms had heard of the conquest of Tyrosh by the Sea Serpents.

The strength of the Velaryon family is there.

The most powerful fleet of the seven kingdoms and three giant dragons are no match for even the royal family in a head-on confrontation.

Mill and Rees, on the other hand, were defeated in unclear circumstances.

Most people only know that the Prince Regent came to Myr, instantly broke through the city defenses, occupied and liberated the slaves in the city.

Including the liberation of Slave Bay, he was awarded the title of "Breaker of Shackles".

In comparison, Reese's battle situation is less known.

Rumor has it that the "Prodigal Prince" Daemon Targaryen conquered Lys and ascended the throne as King of Lys.

"Just wait and see. The answer will be revealed today."

"The king convened a meeting, probably to reward meritorious officials~~"

"..."

Aemon walked to the front of the princes and ministers without looking around.

As I walked by, I heard a lot of people whispering.

Several voices from the corners let out unconcealed smirks, as if they were watching the excitement of the royal family.

Yimon remained calm, catching a glimpse of the termites from the corner of his eye.

Smile! I remember your looks!
The emblems on his shirt were either apples or trees, and he looked like a minor noble from the River Reach.

"Aemon, here!"

When Rhaenyra saw him, she smiled and waved.

She stood on the right side of the hall, surrounded by a group of royal ministers.

There is an aisle in the middle, and on the opposite side are key figures such as Sea Snake and Damon.

"what's the situation?"

Aemon stood shoulder to shoulder with her and asked in a low voice.

Judging from the expressions of Sea Snake and Damon, they seem quite confident.

It's obvious that the deal has been reached.

"I don't know. I didn't have time to ask my father."

Rhaenyra looked helpless.

Aemon was a little embarrassed and glanced at Otto who was contented.

Otto had a faint smile on his face, and seemed very proud and complacent about having recently regained the king's trust.

"let's start!"

Viserys sat firmly on the Iron Throne. Seeing that everyone was present, he told Prime Minister Lyonel to give a speech.

Lots of jabbering.

The general idea is that the kingdom defeated the Three Kingdoms of Women, and King Viserys I regained the glory of the conqueror...

Aemon smiled softly.

My uncle is quite good at flattering himself. I’m afraid that tomorrow we will hear the name “Viserys the Conqueror”.

Leonor finally came to the most crucial part of rewarding.

He paused and looked up at the king who stood straight.

Viserys held the family sword Blackfyre in his hand and nodded slightly in solemnity.

Seeing this, Leonor was relieved and announced in a deep voice:

"I, Viserys Targaryen, King of the Andals and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm..."

The prefix title is called out, and the pause in the middle highlights the solemnity.

Then Lyonel said, "Appoint Aemon the Bronze-born Targaryen, Prince of the Vale, Lord Warden and Protector of the Realm, Slayer of Dragons, Breaker of Chains, to be Prince of Myr and Prince of the Stepstones."

The ministers were in an uproar!

After becoming Prince Regent and Prince of the Vale, he also served as Prince of Mill and Prince of the Stepstones.

One person, three different territories, four prince titles.

Among the crowd, Lord Thaddeus Rowan of Goldentree City in the northern part of the Riverlands was stunned.

The Rowan family is a great noble family in the Reach.

The territory is so large that it covers the entire northern part of the River Bend.

In terms of strength, he is on par with the Tyrells of Highgarden and the Hightowers of Oldtown.

Roughly equivalent to House Royce of the Vale.

Count Thaddeus was a stout man with a bald head due to his middle age. He exclaimed in shock:
"The king has really lost his mind, giving his nephew so many titles."

When the Vale seized power, the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms realized the king's favoritism towards his nephew.

The nobles of the Seven Kingdoms felt slightly relieved after Aemon became regent and was engaged to Rhaenyra.

The king was not stupid or crazy, but wanted his nephew to start a branch of "Targaryens in the Vale".

Although this approach was chilling, it was a disguised way of undermining the Eyrie family's power.

But Lady Jenny of the Eagle's Nest, as a woman, did not actually win much sympathy.

Moreover, word spread in the Vale that Aemon and Lady Jeyne were betrothed in the Eyrie, and the two families were merged into one, with even the emblem becoming a three-pointed flag.

But now, things are very different.

Aemon's territory is a bit too much.

The entire valley includes Seagull Town, one of the five major ports, the Stepstone Islands, and Myr, one of the nine free trade cities.

The big ones span the strait.

"Humph, damn Targaryen brat!"

In the crowd on the left, Bermond Baratheon's eyes turned red with jealousy, thinking that the king must have been bewitched.

"Keep your voice down, Beaumond."

His wife, Lady Elena, with her big belly, frowned and tugged at her husband's sleeve.

The king had his reasons for making such arrangements.

As a member of the Baratheon family who participated in the Battle of the Sound, they were more aware of Aemon's importance to the royal family.

The valley army, the three dragons, and the sea serpents were all untouchable.

Aemon looked around and heard a flood of discussion.

He walked out of the queue, knelt on one knee in front of the Iron Throne, and said very calmly: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Let’s discuss it.

This is what he deserves.

Viserys glanced at his nephew, a little sheepishly, and said, "Get up."

I thought to myself.

For the sake of peace in the kingdom, I have to trouble you, my nephew.

"appointment!"

Lyonel continued reading: "Corliss of Velaryon, Lord of Tidewater and Lord of Tidemark, Duke of Tyrosh and Protector of the Three Cities."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Collis walked out of the queue and also knelt on one knee, looking extremely respectful and serious.

Lionel hadn't finished yet: "Appoint Duke Corliss Velaryon to the position of Lord High Admiral."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Collis was mentally prepared and nodded his head in agreement.

This is one of the conditions discussed over the past few days.

He would stay in King's Landing and return to the small council.

The king felt more at ease with him in front of him, and he was willing to return to the center of power with honor. Both sides were happy with this.

Except, a certain former Minister of the Navy.

"what?"

Tailan was stunned, as if it were a bolt from the blue.

What should he do?
Leonor's next words shocked him.

After Viserys told Corliss to stand up.

Leonor and Collis faced each other, and the former lowered his voice slightly and said:

"When your eldest daughter Lady Laenare marries Prince Aemon and gives birth to a child, she will choose one of her children to be named Velaryon when he reaches the age of 16. He will inherit the title of Lord of Tidemark and Lord of the Tide."

Collis smiled and said, "Thank you for your generosity, King."

"what?"

Aemon's head whipped around.

When did he agree?

He shifted his gaze to look at Aunt Rhaenys and Lanaar across the aisle.

Rhaenys turned her head away, pretending not to notice.

Lannar looked surprised, hesitated for a moment, and walked across the aisle.

"I don't know," she said.

Aemon was silent for a moment.

It doesn’t matter whether you know it or not.

He only knew a little.

The uncle didn't sell him, but sold his son.

"You've had enough of the good life. You're not afraid that I'll go crazy, right?"

Aemon gritted his teeth secretly.

My uncle is out of his mind.

He actually agreed to the sea snake's request.

Rhaenyra was so shocked that she couldn't speak, and she stared blankly at her father on the Iron Throne.

After marrying her best friend Allison, he did another shocking thing.

Lannar lowered her eyelashes, and no matter how gentle her personality was, she was unable to defend herself at this moment.

Eamon took a deep breath and resisted the urge to question him in court.

There are too many people outside.

After the meeting, I'll talk to Uncle and Sea Snake alone.

He won't agree!
The parties involved reacted strongly, and the reaction of the onlookers was even greater.

The princes and ministers looked at each other, unable to believe their ears.

They knew that the royal family and the Velaryon family had been intermarried for generations.

But, is this what marriage is all about?
Prince Aemon is the future king's wife, and there is a Lady Jeyne in the Vale, whose true or false engagement is unknown.

Now another one is arranged to be the eldest daughter of the sea snake Corliss?
It seems that Lady Laena will inherit Driftmark, and her offspring will take the name Velaryon.

So which one is the main line and which one is the branch, the Velaryon of Tidemark or the Velaryon of Tyrosh?
"Of course it's Tidemark. That's the land of the Velaryon clan."

Some people were talking in low voices.

Tyrosh is a new territory, and also has a dukedom title.

However, this only means that Tyrosh is better off than Tidehead Island, and does not mean a change in priority.

Lannar is the eldest daughter.

According to the precedents of Rhaenyra and Jenny, she is qualified to inherit Tidehead Island.

but!

Marrying more than one person is a violation of the Seven Sacred Codes.

Grasping the key point, the discussion became louder.

Viserys' face was cold and stiff. He was angry but felt a little less guilty towards his nephew.

He married more than one woman.

In the future, when there are a lot of children, it would be perfect to pick one out to change his surname and let him inherit Chaotou Island.

As for the dragon taming rights of the Velaryon family.

After listening to his nephew's advice, he established the so-called Dragon Council.

He would officially declare that only Targaryens held the right to tame dragons.

The child who changes his surname can hatch a dragon egg or tame a dragon before he reaches adulthood at the age of 16.

If one does not have a dragon before reaching adulthood, the right to tame dragons will be revoked even after changing one's surname.

This is where Aemon needs to sacrifice.

However, even as a Targaryen, he is not 100% sure to become a dragon rider.

Such as his aunts and uncles, such as Vaegon the Dragonless.

Aemon could choose a child who had no talent for dragon-riding, change his surname, and inherit Tidehead Island.

Viserys consoled himself.

Collis got what he wanted, smiled with satisfaction, and retreated to the left queue.

"appointment!"

Seeing that the discussion in the hall was about to explode, Leonor quickly read out:
"Prince Daemon Targaryen, Prince of Lys and Protector of the Three Cities."

Damon smiled and strode out of the team with his head held high.

"Damon!"

Suddenly, Viserys called to him.

Damon knelt on one knee and looked up at his brother at the sound.

Viserys looked serious and said, "I appoint you Prince of Lysse. I also establish your heir as your eldest son, Aemon Targaryen."

This was the right he fought for his nephew.

Since the father and son have broken up, the inheritance qualification cannot be changed.

Hearing this, Aemon subconsciously looked at Daemon.

Damon was silent at first, then said after a while: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

"You actually agreed?"

Aemon was stunned.

He didn't expect Damon to agree.

Damon is in his prime, the age when a man has the most energy in his life, so finding a woman and having a few children is not a problem for him.

Hmm~~
Although he did plan to wait for Daemon to die, kill his illegitimate brothers, and use primogeniture to take back Rees.

That’s right, take it.

He felt at ease taking Damon's things.

"You said this yourself. Remember your promise, Damon!"

Viserys said alarmedly.

Damon nodded, showing no intention of refusing.

He and his brother barely communicated.

There is still a gap due to the last conflict.

Viserys said that he should return to his family and give him an official appointment.

Damon hesitated for a moment, then agreed.

He could have turned around and left King's Landing for the sake of face.

But he was just indignant, thinking that his weak brother became king, forgot about him, and made him unappreciated.

He was like a superfluous person and was kicked out by his brother.

And now, he had Rhys to show his ambitions in front of the Seven Kingdoms.

He wants to return to his family and prove his greatness.

Besides, he only has one bloodline for now.

"Get up."

Seeing that his helpless brother finally behaved himself, Viserys's expression improved slightly.

He did not take the comments of the princes and nobles to heart.

If Daemon returns to his family, and his nephew Aemon marries into the Velaryon family, the number of dragons that the royal family can mobilize will be as high as six.

I heard that my nephew brought three dragons with him when he conquered Myr.

That makes eight dragons in total.

There are voices in the Seven Nations against marrying multiple wives, but they are not afraid of causing a big fuss.

After hearing the conversation between the king and Daemon, the princes and ministers did not think much about it.

The scandal of the feud between father and son was not exposed.

Most people have only heard of the feud between Daemon and Aemon, but they don't know that the feud reached the point of fighting and killing.

It is a common practice for a father to designate his eldest son as his heir.

Yimon was stunned, his brows twisted into a knot.

Is Damon so honest?

He doesn't believe it!
"Brother, I have an extremely important request."

Sure enough, Damon just stood up and put forward the conditions.

Viserys was slightly startled and did not dare to agree rashly.

This is an emergency.

Based on his understanding of his bastard brother, he would most likely embarrass him in public.

Daemon said nothing, with his hands folded in front of him, looking at his brother sitting on the Iron Throne.

"Damn guy!"

Viserys felt awkward being looked at, and said in a bad tone: "Tell me what you are asking for first."

Damon smiled and said, "I want to dissolve my marriage with Lady Leia of Runestone City and regain my freedom."
