Game of Thrones: The Bronze and Fire Lord.

Chapter 296 I Need You, To Form the Dragon Knight Legion
The King's Landing.

Red Castle, Royal Council.

Renilla stroked her slightly protruding belly as she sat in her seat, listening to Grand Scholar Orville recount intelligence.

"Mom, is it a little brother or a little sister?"

Jaeharis sat in his father Amon's seat, his large purple eyes sparkling like stars.

“I hope it’s Vissania,” Renilla said with a gentle smile.

Jahelis, a straight man, said: "I want a younger brother."

"..."

Renilla rolled her eyes dramatically, picked up her wine glass, and drank the sweet juice.

She was taken aback when she saw the clear grape juice with a hint of green.

Helena stood by the fireplace, holding a silver flask, and silently gave an OK sign.

My older sister, Renilla, is disobedient and can't stand being alone.

They insisted on returning to King's Landing from Harrenhal.

She was instructed by her cousin Eamon to take care of her troublesome older sister.

"Jon Vance hired an Ironborn and a Valantean mercenary force to lead a fleet that attacked a patrol of the Stepstone Islands."

"This is what Grand Scholar Orville said."

Upon hearing that the Stone Steps Islands were under threat, everyone frowned in unison.

Renilla was the first to speak: "What explanation does Prince Coolen have for this?"

"He sent a cargo ship laden with treasure in hopes of ransoming the hostages."

Orville answered.

"Is that all?" Renilla asked doubtfully.

Orville nodded: "For the time being."

Renilla gave a speechless sneer.

First, someone stole the dragon, then there was an incident at the Prince's Pass, and the Vance family launched a surprise attack on the Stone Steps Islands.

Coollen did only two things.

1. To maintain the marriage between the two parties.

Second, send money to ransom the person.

Was he unable to command his vassals, or was he deliberately sending people to provoke trouble?

Viserys, his expression grim, asked, "When will Lord Corliss attend the Imperial Council?"

The farce on Chaotou Island lasted for quite some time.

Dorne is currently invading the Steps Islands.

Aemon is not in King's Landing, and Daemon's whereabouts are unknown.

As the governor of Tyrese and admiral of the navy, Sea Serpent must step forward and shoulder the heavy responsibility.

"I know."

Tylan, well-informed, quickly replied, "Sir Lannino has awoke from his sickbed, and Lord Corliss is already preparing military supplies."

Viserys was finally relieved and ordered, "Inform Lord Corliss to go to the Stepstone Islands and drive away the invading Dornish rebels."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"I'm excited," said Tailan.

The imperial council meeting ended quickly.

Viserys sat there, rubbing his temples in a melancholy mood.

He did not want to wage war unless absolutely necessary.

At the very least, a decisive battle cannot be waged.

"Damn Coollen, can he even manage his vassals?"

Viserys cursed inwardly.

He felt that the other party had truly grasped his weakness.

Marriage and peace!
Therefore, he could tolerate the provocations from the Prince's Pass and the Stone Steps Islands.

Koolen: ? ?
He was also curious as to why his vassals had suddenly become disobedient.

...

"Father, where has Aemon gone?"

Renilla returned, looking at her father who was rubbing his headache with a puzzled expression.

Helena and Jae-Heris peeked out from behind her.

"You haven't left yet?"

Viserys, exhausted and annoyed, said, "Who knows where that kid went? He didn't even leave a definite answer."

"No way."

Renilla's eyes were clear.

……

Valley, Runestone City.

"Roar!"

A massive bronze dragon lay sprawled on a lush, grassy slope, its head resting lazily on its thick tail.

Another magnificent dragon with silver-gray scales stood close to it, raising its head to nuzzle against it, occasionally taking a displeased bite.

"Hiss!"

In the azure sky, a magnificent red dragon coiled in the air, slowly stirring up the clouds.

……

hall.

Amon rested his chin on his hand, dozing off sleepily.

"lady!"

"your Highness……"

The servants greeted them respectfully, and the two women, who had similar temperaments, returned laden with their prey.

Awakened by the noise, Aemon immediately saw his mother, Lady Rhea, dressed in copper-plated soft armor, and asked with a smile, "Ladies, how was the haul?"

"Asking knowingly."

Mrs. Leia was as sharp-tongued as ever.

Renis looked slightly tired as she took the rabbit and pheasant tied to her waist and teased her friend, "With your and Damon's personalities, you actually had a glib-tongued son."

Mrs. Leia rolled her eyes and pointed at her son: "Boy, you've embarrassed me in front of my friends."

Aemon: ...

I'm sorry.

Interestingly, just a few days ago, I received a raven from Runestone City.

Aunt Renis, who had been out of contact for a long time, actually rode a dragon to the valley to find her mother for a hunting trip.

It's worth mentioning.

Two women with similar personalities forged a deep friendship after their children got married.

"Would you like to eat? I've had a salad feast prepared."

Emon subtly complained about the two women who preferred vegetarian food.

"Here's a rabbit for you to eat."

Lady Leia couldn't stand the sarcastic remarks, so she untied the game and tossed it to her son.

……

After the meal.

Renis wiped her mouth with a silk handkerchief, looked at her nephew and the stack of plates in front of him, and sighed: "Kid, if you're here to persuade me to go back, you'd better not mention it."

To tell the truth.

Whether it's the husband's betrayal or the children's concealment.

She could understand them all, but she couldn't let them go.

"Nothing."

"Imon assured her, 'I was just worried about your condition, and also wanted to ease Lannar's mind.'" "That's good. I thought you were going to send me away."

Renis is broad-minded and still has the mood for jokes.

Lady Leia said calmly, "This castle is not up to him to decide. You can stay as long as you want."

She was known for her reclusive personality.

However, when they encounter like-minded people of the same sex, they show them extremely high preferential treatment.

Renis smiled helplessly.

What are your plans for the future?

"Imon leaned forward and asked."

"Uh~"

Renis thought about it carefully and said, "I need to clear my head. Afterwards, I might go to the Free Trade City-State to broaden my horizons."

She accepted Lady Rhea's kindness, but she was not "Empress Dowager" Rhea.

She is not fragile.

They don't need to stay with friends until they die alone with gray hair.

Even freed from the constraints of marriage, she still possessed an adventurous spirit.

Imon admired her magnanimity, but there were some things he had to mention: "Aunt, I need your help."

Immediately, he revealed his purpose.

The rebellion in the River Bend forced my uncle to reinstate the power of the Dragon Council.

At a time when the Iron Throne and Dorne were at odds.

He wanted to ask his Aunt Rhine for help in building the envisioned "Dragon Knight Legion".

To enable the Dragon Riders to be managed in a reasonable and compliant military-style manner.

“My child, Viserys will not agree.”

Renis did not agree.

Her cousin has a very awkward personality.

He clearly rose to power through his sexual prowess, yet he appointed his daughter, Renilla, as heir apparent.

He tamed the family's most powerful dragon, "Black Death" Bellerion, in his early years, but he feared the dragon's power and resented the family members' dependence on it.

Even now, with Rani Laura and Eamon assisting them, they still need to constantly compensate the Green Party's children.

If there is ever a family feud, he will bear the main responsibility.

Therefore, even if Viserys knew the benefits of the "Dragon Knight Legion" in enhancing family cohesion, he would not agree.

Again.

He feared the power of dragons and was afraid of following in the footsteps of the ancient Valyrian dragon kings.

Aemon, who was prepared, said, "Dorn is a whetstone, and Uncle will agree."

"Let me think about it."

Renis had a bit of a headache.

She had a clear view of the family's internal situation: the conflict between the Black and Green parties, and the three Targaryen bloodlines of King's Landing, the Vale, and Rhys.

As the family's bloodline grows, internal chaos also increases.

The best example is the brothers Aegon and Aymond.

Their brains are practically smashed to pieces.

Reforms will proceed more smoothly while Viserys is in power.

If Renilla comes to power, her brothers and sisters may not necessarily submit to her.

After careful consideration, Renis asked, "What do you need me to do?"

Aemon: "You will serve as the honorary leader and enlist Cousin Lannino in the Legion. I will handle the rest."

The organization of the Dragon Knight Legion can be copied directly from the ancient Valyrian period.

One honorary head of the delegation, and one deputy head of the delegation with real power.

Dragon knights and the like will be uniformly incorporated into the legion after passing the "Fourteen Ancient Dragon Taming Methods" trial.

Anyway, the family only has a few big cats and small cats now, which is not enough to form a group.

"Alright, I will send letters to Viserys and Lannino respectively."

Renis agreed and slowly got up to go upstairs.

Mrs. Leia got up and walked to the stairs. She looked at her son and said bluntly, "You've achieved your goal. If you really care about her, then don't bother her anymore."

She had personally experienced the pain of being betrayed by her husband.

Time is the best healer.

Imon nodded obediently and prepared to leave.

As I was leaving home.

"Your Highness, wait a moment."

The old scholar called out to him, followed by two attendants.

Imon was curious about something.

The old scholar, having caught his breath, said, "Madam has ordered someone to prepare a dish of roasted mutton for you to take on your journey."

The servant handed over an exquisite wooden food box, which had six layers and looked like a large rice bucket.

He was stunned for a moment.

Quite a while.

Eamon, carrying a bucket of food, looked up at a certain attic room upstairs and made a funny face: "Love you, Mom!"

After leaving Runestone City, Aemon did not return to King's Landing immediately.

He went back to River Valley Town.

Lonely Mountain, Dragon's Nest.

A beam of sunlight pierced through the hole at the top of the dragon's nest, shining onto the nine-foot-tall bronze sacred tree.

It has grown and changed a lot over the years.

Ring ring ring!
Imon fiddled with the three bronze bells on the first branch, none of which were ripe yet.

However, he wasn't interested in the bronze bell.

"Gah——!"

On the second branch, the bronze bird, seemingly alive, suddenly opened its sharp beak.

Following wheat seeds and soil balls.

Imon reached out and caught it, and a withered vine appeared in his palm.

It's all yellowed and wilted.

"What is the use?"

Imon observed it repeatedly but couldn't see anything magical about it.

"It must be because I have poor eyesight. I'll go back and study it carefully."

Eamon, being quite self-aware, stuffed a palm-sized, withered vine into the golden-nosed rat's mouth.

Perhaps, like yellow jade wheat, it needs to find a suitable place to plant it.

"Squeak!!"

The golden-nosed rat was forced to operate, and it protested loudly.

The mouse's nest is stuffed full of food.

"The solar disk is still settling."

Aemon glanced at the bronze disc hanging from the branches overhead.

Having learned from his previous experience, he preferred to call it the solar disk.

Several years have passed, and the solar disk has yet to accumulate its full fiery power.

But he felt it would be soon.

After a while.

Aemon emerged from the dragon's lair, smiling and stretching.

I've heard that House Vance of Dorne has launched an unauthorized attack on the Stepstone Islands.

That's...amazing!!
