Game of Thrones: The Bronze and Fire Lord.

Chapter 21 Potential Enemies

Red Fort, banquet hall.

Tailan was scolded by the king and left in disgrace.

The banquet is still going on.

"Lord Leonor, we haven't talked for a long time."

Viserys forced a smile and called over the calm Lord Chancellor.

Across a table filled with pastries, Leonor Strong was chatting with someone. He turned around in confusion when he heard the voice.

"His Majesty."

Leonor did not dare to be negligent and stepped forward to salute.

He was a well-read wise man who visited the "Oldtown" academy when he was young and obtained six links of the maester.

Now that he is old, his strong body has become fat and bloated, and his round face is quite gentle.

Viserys looked the important minister up and down, and after some hesitation, he said, "Rhaenyra is missing. I heard from Kor that she took Aemon to the dragon pit."

"Prince Aemon is of noble blood, and it is a good thing that he is willing to be close to the princess."

Leonor was serious and was happy to see this happen.

However, judging from the king's conflicted expression, he must have something more important to say.

As expected, Viserys shook his head and sighed, saying, "I like Aemon very much, but Rhaenyra has a deep prejudice against me and doesn't want to listen to my nagging."

This made him very sad.

"How can I help you?"

Leonor raised his eyebrows slightly.

The conflict between the king and the princess was deep, and the whole court knew about it.

But as a subject, there is very little that can be done to interfere in the king's household affairs.

After all, not everyone is as scheming as Prime Minister Otto, who married his daughter into the royal family.

"I just have some thoughts, and I hope someone trustworthy can answer them."

Viserys had a complicated expression, and then looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping, and said solemnly: "Rhaenyra will soon come of age. Who do you think can assist her?"

Leonor was stunned and speechless.

This sentence contains too much information and involves too many factors.

He first mentioned Prince Aemon, and then said he was worried about the princess's marriage.

And the word "assist" is used very cleverly, proving that the king has no intention of replacing the princess as heir to the Iron Throne.

Then, the rumor in the palace about little Prince Aegon "taking over" the qualification of heir was groundless.

In an instant, Leonor thought of many things.

Apart from the above speculations, the important point is.

Prime Minister Otto, the "grandfather" of little Prince Aegon, has been removed from the king's list of trusted men.

"The King is testing me!"

Leonor's heart sank. Seeing that the king was getting impatient, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, according to the results of the royal meeting, Sir Lanino is undoubtedly the best choice."

The answer was standard and left room for the subsequent conversation.

Viserys frowned and said unsatisfiedly, "Perhaps there is a better one."

Lyonor intended to be cautious and said, "Ser Laenor Velaryon, heir to the richest family in the entire continent. He is undoubtedly from the ancient Valyrian family and has Targaryen blood."

There are no better conditions, so why not?

But this sentence irritated the king a little.

Viserys took a big sip of wine, his eyes sharpened, and he said seriously:
"Ever since the 101st Great Council, when the maester pronounced my name as the heir, and then refused to marry Laena Velaryon, I have always felt the covetous gaze cast from Blackwater Bay."

Ever since his father's death, the sea serpent Corliss has been his most feared opponent.

Leonor had expected something when he heard this, and he said silently: "Your Majesty, if you really want to listen to my sincere words..."

"Of course!"

Viserys interrupted.

If you don't want to hear the truth, there is no need to ask the Minister of Justice, who has a clean family background.

The Strong family was given the title of "Harrenhal", which guards the river and the valley, and can provide the first support when there is trouble in King's Landing.

This shows that the Strong family must be loyal.

Leonor sighed heavily and said seriously: "The reason why the Imperial Council recommended Sir Lannino is because you rejected his sister Miss Lanner, which led to your Minister of the Navy Collis resigning from his post."

"It's better to be an ally than an enemy to the sea snake Corliss."

The words were straightforward enough, and he believed the king knew what was going on.

The royal family and the Velaryon family were in a stalemate. It was better to eliminate the misunderstanding through marriage than to let it continue to deteriorate. Viserys said unwillingly: "What if I reject this proposal?"

"The sea snake Corliss will not surrender on his own initiative."

Lionel said matter-of-factly, "He will not be easily satisfied unless it is linked to the Iron Throne."

"Who can say no to the kingdom's need?"

Viserys' emotions fluctuated, and he said angrily: "Are you threatening me?"

"You are the king, of course you don't dare to do that."

Leonor spoke to comfort him.

Viserys laughed in anger and rejected the proposal: "I will not marry my daughter off, nor will I abandon the dignity of a king."

The sea snake Collis refuses to give in. Do we expect him to give in?
It's impossible!

Leonor understood the pros and cons and said helplessly: "Prince Aemon is of noble birth, but the war in the Stepstone Islands is urgent, and the sea serpent Corliss controls half of the kingdom's fleet."

But the other party has a strong fist.

Viserys clenched his glass and said calmly, "It doesn't matter. The sea serpent Corliss suffered heavy casualties in this battle, and the threat has long been reduced."

His brother Daemon was also on the battlefield.

Needless to say, the war was brutal and even letters asking for help were sent.

"So……"

Leonor saw that the king had something on his mind and opened his mouth to offer a suggestion.

Suddenly, there was a scream outside the hall.

"what happened?"

Viserys straightened up, confused by the sudden chaos.

"Hiss!!"

A giant dragon's scream filled with joy sounded, resounding throughout the Red Castle like thunder.

Viserys was startled at the sound and hurried out of the hall.

Looking up, I saw white clouds floating in the blue sky.

"Hiss!"

A light blue dragon soars high in the sky, spreading its wings and flying through the clouds, like a free fluttering butterfly.

"Seven Hells!"

Leonor was stunned and exclaimed.

Viserys was even more shocked. He took a few steps forward and looked at the dragon's back, repeatedly confirming that there was no figure.

My daughter and nephew went to the dragon's lair together.

How could Dreamfire fly out if it wasn't tamed?

Unfortunately, no one can answer this question for the time being.

"Hiss!"

In full view of the crowd, the giant light blue dragon circled King's Landing three times, causing countless exclamations and screams.

Then, as if it was tired of flying, its huge body swept across the red brick and white wall Silk Street, folded its wings and landed back in the dome dragon cave.

……

Dragon's lair.

Aemon looked up, his fair face filled with smiles, happy that the Dream Fire had returned to the sky.

A dragon should fly in the sky, not be imprisoned.

After being locked up for a long time, the dragon's body functions deteriorated and it even stopped laying eggs and hatching them.

The only ones who suffered were the Targaryens.

"Hiss!"

Suddenly, another strange roar came from the side.

Aemon exclaimed and turned his head to check.

Then, Rainier disappeared at some point and was walking out of the dragon's lair slowly.

"Hiss!"

A giant topaz-colored dragon with a majestic and powerful figure, shaking its huge head with a pair of curved horns, slowly accompanies its master.
