Game of Thrones: Roar of the Dragon

Chapter 81: Blood Dragon Dance Erupts in Advance (First Order Request)
Since Rhaenyra settled in the Dragonstone territory, her room, which was once located in the royal area at the top of Maegor's Holdfast, had long been reclaimed by Queen Alicent on the pretext of something.

Now I can only live with Daemon in the ordinary guest room area on the ground floor of Maegor's Tower.

The mood was full of ups and downs that day, so Rhaenyra was naturally in no mood to study the origin of life and human creation with Damon.

Rustling!

The sound of footsteps was heard outside the door. Damon, who was dozing with his eyes closed, quickly got up from the bed and slowly pulled out the Dark Sister.

After all, they were in the enemy's base camp full of malicious intent, and he did not even take off his clothes and sword.

Bang Bang Bang!
After a burst of suppressed discussions that were difficult to hear clearly, there was a knock on the door.

Even Rhaenyra came to her senses at this sound.

She glanced at Damon standing by the door, quickly dressed and asked, "Who is it? What do you want from me so late at night?"

"Princess Rhaenyra, I am Harold.

His Majesty has commanded me to invite you and Prince Daemon to see him."

The White Knight Captain's strong voice rang out, and Rhaenyra breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew that Harold took no sides and was loyal only to his father.

Squeak!

Rhaenyra glanced at Daemon, who was hiding behind the door with a sword, and opened the door directly.

To her surprise, she saw Christon and a group of royal guards behind Harold.

"Hmm? Where's Prince Daemon?"

Christon tilted his head to look around the room and asked.

Before Rhaenyra could answer, Daemon, who was tidying up his clothes, appeared from behind the door and said jokingly, "Getting dressed!

Why, do you want to see my strong body? "

"Oh, if you were really that strong, you wouldn't have been defeated by my hammer that year!"

"Don't just talk about the past, try it again now?"

"Okay!"

"Ah, His Majesty the King is still waiting!"

Harold coughed heavily, interrupting the hostile conversation between Damon and the other man.

"Damon, let's go!"

Without even looking at Christon, Rainiera walked towards the stairs first.

Harold followed closely behind.

Damon and Christon stood there staring at each other for half a minute, and then Christon reacted and quickly chased after Rhaenyra and the other person.

Damon looked at the chain hammer on his waist and the royal guards scattered around him, then followed thoughtfully.

At the front, Rhaenyra and Harold had already reached the corner of the stairs.

Taking advantage of the moment when the wall at the corner blocked the view behind, Harold whispered at a very fast speed: "Find a chance to escape!"

Rhaenyra paused, and Christon followed her to the corner.

She looked at Harold deeply and continued to walk up the stairs.

Regarding the dispute between the Black Party and the Green Party, Harold did not help either party and was only loyal to Viserys I.

It was precisely because of this that he spoke up to remind Rainier.

While guarding the gate of the king's chamber, he vaguely heard the words of Viserys I and the heartfelt crying of Rhaenyra.

She had no reason to kill her father.

Even if they were the murderers, why would Damon be stupid enough to use his own dagger?
So Harold felt that the murder of Viserys I was not that simple.

He reminded Rhaenyra to escape from the Red Keep because he wanted her to find out the truth of the matter.

"Woo!"

Just after going up one floor, Rainier suddenly squatted on the ground, holding her stomach with a look of pain on her face.

"Princess Rhaenyra, what's wrong with you?"

Harold asked with a very cooperative frown.

And Christon and Damon came to Rhaenyra one after another.

After moaning in pain for a while, Rhaenyra stretched out her hand to Daemon and said, "Take me to the private room (bathroom) quickly. My period is coming!"

Daemon raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and immediately stepped forward to help Rhaenyra find an empty room on this floor and enter it.

Harold and Christon stood outside the room with the royal guards.

After nearly ten minutes, Christon realized something was wrong and immediately went forward and knocked on the door, but there was no answer from inside the house.

He kicked the door open, and the royal guards rushed in, only to find that there was no one in the room.

“They couldn’t have jumped from here, they should have escaped through the window to other rooms.

Form a team of three and search all the rooms on these floors carefully."

"As ordered!"

Christon, who was very opinionated, immediately passed the order down, and the royal guards immediately began a thorough investigation of Maegor's Holdfast.

Christon walked out of the room with two royal guards, and when he saw Harold standing in the corridor,

He whispered, “Captain Harold, I wanted to break into the door and arrest them before, but you suggested leading them to the top floor before taking action.

But now people are running away!"

"If you do this, it will definitely cause commotion throughout the Red Keep, and Queen Alicent has ordered us to make secret arrests.

Don't worry, I will explain it to her myself."

Harold heard this and answered calmly.

"I personally led the team to break in and arrest people, how could it possibly cause a commotion?"

"That's Daemon Targaryen!"

"So what? I defeated him back then!"

"Of course, but only if he was celebrating a victory with his back to you."

Harold's last words immediately made Christon furious. Attacking Damon behind his back had been a sore spot for him that he had been criticized for many years.

snort!
Christon snorted coldly at the White Knight captain and led his team away.

He did not search this floor, but went straight to the room where Rhaenyra once lived.

As soon as he arrived at his destination, Christon stopped.

He turned his head and ordered the two royal guards behind him: "This area belongs to me. The two of you search from the left and right directions respectively." "Yes, sir!"

Squeak!

After the two men left, Christon, who was wearing silver-white armor, took off the chain hammer from his waist.

After pushing open the door and walking in, he whispered to the empty room: "Since you sneaked into the Red Castle to assassinate last time,
The secret passage here is sealed, come out!"

Daemon, holding the Dark Sister, walked out from the corner, and Rhaenyra poked her head out from the corner.

"Since you know we are here, why don't you just rush in with your men?"

Hearing this, Christon raised his right hand and pointed the chain hammer at Damon and replied: "Come on! This time I will defeat you head-on!"

Although he kept saying that he wanted to defeat Daemon head-on, he was wearing sophisticated white knight armor while Daemon was only wearing noble casual clothes.

This battle is actually not fair at all.

But in the face of Christon's provocation, Damon didn't say any nonsense and rushed forward with his sword in hand.

call!
Christon swung his right hand forward with force, and the hammer head covered with spikes flew straight towards Damon's left face with a whistling sound.

Whoosh!
Damon, who had already judged the attack movement through the opponent's shoulder, suddenly bent down and lowered his head to avoid the attack.

The Dark Sister in his hand also stabbed straight into Christon's abdomen.

If it was an ordinary long sword, Christon, wearing the white knight armor, would not have needed to dodge at all.

Simply swing the chain hammer to attack Damon's defenseless back.

But the Dark Sister is no ordinary weapon, forged from Valyrian steel, a steel that is light yet hard and incredibly sharp.

Christon was forced to step back, and Damon, who was in a dominant position, chopped and cut with his sword.
Specifically attack his face, throat, wrists and other places not protected by armor.

Dangdang Dangdang!
Christon’s fighting power is not exaggerated.

He wielded the chain hammer flexibly and hit the Dark Sister's sword, trying to tie it up with chains.

Vertical chop, horizontal chop, and diagonal chop.

Damon, in turn, used his flexibility without armor to constantly change direction left and right to attack Christon.

Suddenly, Damon turned his body sharply to the left, using his right leg as the axis.

The long sword in his hand used the powerful inertia of turning left to sweep across Christon's right face.

Click!

Christon, who had been waiting for a long time, seized this opportunity and swung his chain hammer to firmly lock the sword of the Dark Sister.

Boom!

Christon, who thought he had won the game, had just smiled when he was suddenly hit hard on his right ankle.

The whole person lost his balance in an instant, fell sideways in mid-air and fell heavily to the ground.

It turned out that when Damon turned left and swept sideways, his left leg also swept out.

Christon, whose attention was entirely focused on the Dark Sisters, completely neglected his lower body and was knocked to the ground by Damon's left leg.

The shock to the brain caused by this kind of side fall cannot be eliminated by simply shaking the head.

Before the dizzy Christon could struggle to get up from the ground, Damon, who had untied the chain hammer, had already pressed the Dark Sister against his throat.

"Wait, don't kill him!"

Rhaenyra, who had been watching the battle nervously from the back, suddenly spoke up and dissuaded Daemon from continuing to stab forward.

Christon was Rhaenyra's first man.

Although she joined the Green Party out of love-hate relationship, it has not caused her any harm so far.

In addition, the other party had just deliberately sent away the royal guards, so she was kind-hearted and did not want to see Christon die.

Damon immediately understood what she meant. He raised his sword and hit Christon hard on the back of his head with the hilt of the Dark Sister.

Christon, who was already a little dizzy, fell to the ground and lost consciousness without saying a word.

The crisis was temporarily resolved, but without the secret escape route, Rhaenyra and the other woman had to return to the lower level of Maegor's Tower.

Click!

On a certain floor of Maegor's Holdfast, when Rhaenyra and her companions avoided the searching royal guards, they unexpectedly came face to face with a maid holding a broom.

Damon immediately wanted to use the Dark Sister to slit her throat.

But the maid quickly said, "White Maggot asked me to take you away from the Red Castle. Come with me!"

Hearing this, Damon paused.

Then without hesitation he pulled Rhaenyra along behind the maid, and the three of them disappeared into the darkness together.

About twenty minutes later, Christon was found and awakened by the two royal guards.

Knowing that he had made a big mistake because of his arrogance, he immediately went to report the situation to Queen Alison.

At this moment, the Queen's bedroom was filled with core figures of the Green Party.

Compared to Queen Alicent, who was furious at the news that Daemon might escape from the Red Keep, Ser Otto was calmer and more rational.

He pondered for a moment and then issued an order in an orderly manner: "It is no longer possible to make secret arrests now! Christon, you continue to lead the search for the Red Castle."

"Yes, Prime Minister!"

After Criston left, Sir Otto turned to Queen Alicent and said, "Alison, many officers in the City Guard (Gold Cloaks) are Daemon's former subordinates.

I need you to promote Gawyn Hightower (the queen's brother) to Lord Commander of the City Watch in the name of the king, and put him in charge of searching the entire King's Landing."

Queen Alison, who had calmed down, realized that her father's suggestion was the best option at the moment, so she immediately nodded in agreement.

“As for the place Daemon and Rhaenyra want to go, there is only one, and that is the Dragon’s Lair.

Aegon, take your men to strengthen the defenses around the dragon's lair and prohibit anyone from approaching.

Order the dragon guards to tie up Syrax and Koraxus with iron chains.

Then you can occasionally control Yangyan to inspect the area around the dragon cave."

"Okay, I'll go now!"

Aegon was very unreliable before, but things changed after Helena was stabbed and his young son Maelar died.

It's still reliable at critical moments like this.

Aemond looked at Criston and Aegon who left one after another, frowned and asked: "Grandpa, what should I do then?"

Sir Otto looked at him seriously and replied in a deep voice: "You have a most important task to complete!"

On the first day of 128 AC, King's Landing underwent tremendous changes.

Under the influence of the giant butterfly Jakaris, the Dance of the Blood Dragons broke out more than a year earlier!
