Game of Thrones: Dance of the Dragons

Under the intimidation of the six dragons, the once arrogant Kingdom of the Third Daughter and Dorne instantly turned into cowards.

They treated both Prime Minister Leonor and King Viserys with respect and friendliness.

Viserys remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was very pleased with his eldest son's arrangements.

We shouldn't have given these bastards a friendly look.

Otherwise, they will not only think you are a coward, but also take it for granted.

Red Castle, Council Chamber.

Led by envoys from the Kingdom of the Three Daughters, Viserys was presented with the terms of peace and a proposal for the proportional division of trade after its resumption.

Aside from requesting a reduction in some taxes, the envoys from the Kingdom of the Three Daughters and Dorne did not make any excessive demands.

Furthermore, the Kingdom of the Third Daughter even proactively expressed its desire to increase trade cooperation with the Targaryens.

"Your Majesty, I hope you will agree with my suggestion. The Kingdom of the Three Kingdoms truly desires to befriend the Targaryens."

At this point, the envoy from the Kingdom of the Third Daughter even glanced at the Prince and gave him a slight bow in a friendly manner.

Baylor knew that this was a plea not to vent the dragon's anger on the Three Daughters Kingdom again.

Then, it's Dorn.

No wonder the envoys from the Third Daughter Kingdom were unwilling to travel with him. With that arrogant, disdainful attitude, who wouldn't call him a complete idiot?

"Emissary of Dorne, if you have something to say, say it here. Who are you trying to impress with that sour face?"

"Or is it that Dorne doesn't want to sign a peace treaty with the Targaryens, but instead plans to continue its alliance with the Three Kingdoms and seize the Stepstone Isles belonging to House Targaryen?"

Having said that, the prince looked at his third daughter, the kingdom's envoy, who looked anxious.

He knew that the free trade city-states relied mainly on trade with the continent, and there was no need to give up such enormous benefits for the sake of Dorne.

Sure enough, the moment the prince uttered those words, the envoy from the Three Kingdoms cried out in protest, his face filled with helplessness.

"Your Highness, you mustn't drag us into this! The Kingdom of Daughters genuinely seeks peace with the Targaryens!"

Baylor pounded the table with one hand, continuing to exert pressure, "But your good ally Dorn doesn't seem to have that idea."

"Given the shared interests of allies, what's wrong with my understanding?"

The envoys from the Kingdom of the Three Daughters panicked.

If the Targaryens were to become enraged and send six more dragons to attack Myr and Pentos, inciting the slaves to rebel, the entire Free Trade City-State would be doomed!

"Your Majesty, Crown Prince, we request that you both be witnesses here."

"From this day forward, my Third Daughter Kingdom severs its alliance with Dorne and ceases all trade, military, and other forms of aid!"

"Please, please, Targaryen, show mercy and don't involve my Three Kingdoms!"

The Dornish messenger was dumbfounded; his intention was to demonstrate the Dornish people's indomitable spirit.

After all, it was precisely this spirit that enabled them to defeat the Targaryens, who possessed dragons and seemed like mythical beings.

But they never imagined that they would have to sever trade ties with the Kingdom of the Third Daughter, which was the lifeblood of Dorne!

"Given the fact that the Three Kingdoms possess such comprehension abilities, the Targaryens will never allow them to be implicated. You can rest assured."

This is also a friendly signal from Baylor.

He was telling the Kingdom of the Third Daughter, "I am very pleased with your decisiveness; the dragon will not descend."

The envoy from the Third Daughter Kingdom breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you, benevolent Crown Prince."

"Emissaries of Dorne, why don't you plead with the merciful king? Do you truly wish to make enemies of House Targaryen?"

The envoy from the Kingdom of Three Daughters was indeed shrewd.

He knew very well that the Targaryen family was extremely wary of Dorne.

Therefore, it is impossible to truly sever all trade ties with Dorne. Even if we agree to conduct some transactions based on geography, who would know?

Furthermore, both sides share a common enemy, so there is no need for them to cut off their own arm.

Upon seeing the hint, the Dornish messenger immediately abandoned his so-called pride and sincerely begged for forgiveness from the merciful King Viserys.

Before he arrived, Prince Martell had told him that all the members of the Targaryen royal family were warmongers, except for Viserys.

Upon seeing this, Viserys indeed showed a hesitant expression.

However, his hesitation was feigned.

Westeros also needs stability and peace, but it must deter the Kingdom of the Three Daughters and Dorne.

As for future developments, that will be left to Baylor to plan slowly.

"I believe the Dornish messenger did not act of his own volition, but there will be no next time," Viserys declared, displaying the majesty of a king.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The Dorn messenger breathed a sigh of relief.

With the strategies of slapping and sweetening the deal in place, the subsequent negotiations between the two sides went exceptionally smoothly.

The three daughters, the Kingdom of Dorn, seemed to have become feminine incarnations of Damon, so obedient they were almost unbelievable.

As long as it doesn't involve too much personal gain, everyone generally agrees.

That night, King Viserys hosted a grand welcoming banquet to celebrate the peace that had returned to the Kingdom of Qi, and to warmly welcome the Kingdom of the Three Daughters and the envoys from Dorne.

Beller accompanied him, but after having a couple of drinks, he went to eat something.

"Prince Bellor." The envoy from the Third Daughter Kingdom approached with a fawning expression.

"Is there something you need?"

"I've heard that your trade center has produced affordable and delicious grain-based liquor. The Kingdom of Three Daughters is very interested in this and hopes to reach a trade agreement with you."

Upon hearing the other party's purpose, Baylor naturally accepted it without hesitation.

The cost of building a dragon's lair is already high, not to mention the various training exercises that follow.

"Actually, in addition to grain-based liquor, we have also launched some other products."

"For example, dried fish and whole-grain biscuits are very cheap and easy to carry."

The free trade city-state was extremely wealthy, possessing not only the world's largest treasury but also countless slaves as vassals.

For these slave owners and the wealthy, how to provide food and clothing for these people was a major problem.

Baylor's current main product is cheap, affordable, and available in large quantities, which is an opportunity that slave owners with many slaves cannot afford to miss.

"That's wonderful, Your Highness."

"We really need to discuss grain-based liquor, and your main products, in detail!"

After agreeing to conduct specific business with the envoy from the Third Daughter Kingdom the next day, the Prince bid farewell to his father and prepared to return to his room to rest.

"To be honest, your actions puzzled me, because I thought you were going to kill that Dorne messenger."

Baylor turned around and saw Damon and Rhaenys leaning against the wall on either side, one holding a wine glass and the other looking helpless.

"What would killing the Dornish messenger change?"

"Is it to vent my anger? Or to help the kingdom win, or perhaps to help me gain wealth and rebuild the dragon's lair?"

So much time has passed, and Uncle Damon is still acting impulsively.

Damon didn't know that what Baylor wanted was never revenge, but rather for all of Dorne to become the territory of the Targaryen family.
