Game of Thrones: The Bronze and Fire Lord.

Chapter 148 The Wild Dragon Who Steals Sheep

Duoduoduo...

Chop the beef leg meat with a kitchen knife and sprinkle with salt to make the filling.

Mrs. Leia had a calm expression. She wiped the meat residue on the blade with her fingers and threw it into the basin to avoid wasting any.

A set of movements flows smoothly.

Bang bang bang~~
There was applause from behind.

Jenny stood at the kitchen door with a smile on her face: "I've only heard that Madam Leia is good at horseback riding and hunting, but I didn't expect that she is also good at cooking."

The kitchen is not big and is filled with various ingredients.

The cooks looked down and sullenly walked away from the Duchess.

"If you are interested in learning, I can teach you."

Madam Rhea politely called her "Madam" but continued to do as she pleased.

Jenny didn't respond, but asked curiously, "Is the breakfast at Eagle's Nest not to your liking?"

"When people have nothing to do, they will find something to do when they stop."

Madam Leia tasted the saltiness of the filling and nodded with satisfaction.

She was used to hunting alone, so catching the stutterer was easy.

Jenny walked closer and changed the subject again: "Does it make you feel awkward to have Arnold around you?"

Madam Leia paused and rolled her eyes secretly: "He is an honest child. After two years of training under my hand, he will have some prospects."

Luo Li keeps on talking.

Just say that you don’t like going out and interacting with these self-righteous guys.

Jenny's eyes flickered, noticing the other party's mood change, but she still pretended not to know and said, "Just like your son, Aemon the Dragon Slayer, who is famous in the Seven Kingdoms?"

That's really promising.

boom!
Madam Leia put down the stirring stick, turned around, and frowned: "Madam Jenny, your uncle only taught you to hide your thoughts, but didn't he teach you to be upright?"

Is it fun to ask questions?

Even though he knew the truth, he had to hide it.

They are all women, what are they hiding?
Jenny was stunned for a moment, her face turning pale and blue.

She has one thing in common with Lady Rhea: they are both loners who don't like going out or interacting with people.

But she didn't understand Mrs. Rhea's straightforward personality.

To the point of being speechless.

"Lord Jobert is like my father and grandfather. He has given me warmth since I was a child and has benefited me a lot."

Jenny took a deep breath and spoke sincerely.

Without Jobert's strong opposition, she would not have become the Duchess of the Eyrie.

Lady Leia snorted: "As you said, it proves that you have been away from his protection for too long."

The Royce family does not have the habit of beating around the bush.

Under the influence of his surroundings, the eldest son's style of doing things is quite upright.

If you encounter unfair treatment, fight back on the spot.

"We will all miss him in different ways."

After being lectured, Jenny gave up the idea of ​​asking questions and said seriously, "How long do you think the valley will remain peaceful?"

She could already see that a storm was coming.

Upon hearing this, Madam Leia's expression became serious and she said nothing.

Nothing was said, yet everything seemed to have been said.

"I understand."

Jenny's pupils shrank slightly, indicating that she was not at peace.

"Look at it this way, all men are like this, with an uncontrollable desire for power."

Madam Leia felt a little sympathetic towards her and gave her some advice: "Live a good life and pass on your bloodline."

A Duchess of the Eyrie and a Lady of the Runestone.

Two women at the pinnacle of power in the valley.

Their every word and action represents the family behind them, so they cannot say or do too much.

That’s all I have to say!
Jenny crossed her arms, unable to understand for a moment: "Prince Aemon is your blood, does he make you happy?"

"No!"

Madam Leia laughed out loud, her tone helpless and disgusted: "He is my son. He has never done anything to make me happy since he was born. I still occasionally doubt that I actually gave birth to a human being."

She was only 33 years old. She married Damon at the age of 16 and became pregnant and gave birth to a child at the age of 19.

She is only 11 years older than her future daughter-in-law, Laena Velaryon.

Still young.

"Then why are you still advising me to reproduce?"

Jenny looked skeptical.

The whole valley knew that Daemon mocked his original wife as a "bronze bitch" and that their marriage was a joke.

How can I live if my son doesn’t listen to me?

Lady Leia thought about it as if it was a matter of fact, and tutted: "He came out of my belly. He was quite cute when he was a child."

The tone and expression are perfectly combined, as if he is talking about a kitten or a puppy.

Jenny had a strange look on her face, and I could hear a hint of enjoyment in it.

This person is two-faced.

"You want to help?"

Madam Leia quickly calmed down and ordered them to leave.

"I won't."

Jenny said honestly.

Madam Leiya said calmly: "Some things can be chosen not to be done, but you can't know how to do them."

"I have a cook, this is their job."

Jenny wanted to laugh and didn't hear a word.

Lady Rhea kept her mouth shut and refrained from making too many criticisms.

It's none of my business! Leave me alone!
Jenny saw her attitude, retreated to the door, and said, "Damon's insults to you are known to all the Seven Kingdoms. I don't want to end up like that."

The tone is particularly provocative, and he specifically hits on people's sore spots.

Madam Leia's face darkened and she reached into the pile of kitchen utensils.

Hesitating between using a stirring stick or a kitchen knife.

Jenny's clever IQ took the high ground, picked up her skirt and ran away.

Da da da……

……

Oops!
In the middle of the day, Aemon was walking alone on the grass, kicking stones around his feet.

In his hand was a stone sculpture of a dragon, its ruby ​​eyes sparkling.

The temperature continues to rise, reaching 37 on the dotted scale.

It was hard for Aemon not to be surprised, and he said admiringly: "Rhaenyra is indeed a genius."

Now that we have the stone sculpture of the fire wizard, of course we have to make the best use of it.

Half a year ago, he had tested Lannar, Rainier, and several other members of the Green Party.

The average blood purity of the little radishes is 10%, which is similar to when he was a child.

Rainier was amazing, with a blood purity of 33% at that time.

After half a year, the blood purity increased by 4%.

According to the standard of blood purity, if it exceeds 30%, one will have the talent of telepathy between humans and dragons.

And the growth rate is obviously too high.

Rainiera was 18 years old, and her blood purity had increased by 4% in half a year, like she was riding a rocket.

Of course, it is not ruled out that she and Syrax wiped out the mountain clans and tapped into potential that had been overlooked in the past.

"As expected of you!"

Aemon had mixed feelings.

I feel like I'm afraid of my brothers suffering, but also afraid of them driving a Land Rover.

By comparison.

The purity of Lannar's bloodline is 33% and the purity of Lannino's bloodline is 29%.

Minus some of the false highs, Lannar's blood purity fluctuates around 30%, reaching the standard of telepathic communication between humans and dragons.

why not?
Aemon glanced back across Alessa Falls and could still see Vhagar's mountainous back.

People choose dragons, dragons choose their masters.

Lannar has some of Queen Visenya's tenacity, but she is bound by too many rules and regulations and rarely has the opportunity to express herself.

Vhagar is another old dragon who is over 160 years old and has had two masters.

If both parties don't open their hearts to each other, there will always be a little lack of tacit understanding.

"The average bloodline of an adult Targaryen is 30%. They can become excellent dragon riders, but they cannot access the magical level."

“No wonder it ranks in the middle and lower reaches among the forty dragon king families, not at the bottom.”

Yimon's thoughts were clear, and he didn't put pressure on himself. He smiled and said, "Those dragon king families at the bottom can only ride dragons, and even hatching dragon eggs depends on luck, right?"

Ka!

There was a bump under my feet, as if I had broken a stone.

Aemon looked up.

A large area of ​​grassland before my eyes had turned to scorched earth, with charred sheep carcasses scattered around and several blackened skeletons lying in the ashes.

I didn't notice it just now.

Now, every time I breathe, the pungent smell of burning rushes straight into my cavity.

Imon was stunned and didn't laugh.

"Where did the dragon come from!?"

He took two steps forward and stepped on a burnt sheep's head.

The scorched earth covers a large area and does not seem to be done by a young or sub-adult dragon.

The ashes had no temperature, proving that many days had passed since the last dragon fire.

"A full grown dragon wandered into the valley."

Aemon was confused and doubtful, and quickly went through the suspects in his mind.

The Targaryen dynasty has been established for 115 years, and there are currently 13 dragons.

Among them, the wild dragon Glutton fell, leaving 12 giant dragons.

Except for the main dragon.

Silverwing and the wild dragon Grayshadow live in Lonely Mountain, Dreamfyre is imprisoned in the Dragon Cave of King's Landing, and there are two sub-adult dragons on Dragonstone. So, there is only one truth.

"Wild dragon! Sheep thief!"

Aemon's eyes were serious, wondering how long this guy had been wandering into the valley.

……

dusk
Maiden's Tower, Hall.

A sumptuous dinner was prepared, and the chandelier above was specially lit with candles.

Jenny sat at the table waiting with a blank expression.

It's not that I'm unhappy, it's just that I have a habit of having a sour face when I have no expression.

She waited for Jen Sifu and others to come back.

There are no other nobles from the valley tonight, and there are too many people to have a long conversation.

Lady Rhea gave her a hint that Prince Aemon was eyeing the valley.

Conspiracy?

It didn't seem to work and she wasn't any good at it.

Recalling Lord Job’s teachings, no matter whether you are a man or a woman, you should be upright and not afraid of your own shadow.

She is the Duchess of Eyrie, the Guardian of the Valley, and the Guardian of the East.

Prince Aemon only has a river town and at most one rune city.

The former is a princely territory with independent rights.

The latter was still a bannerman of House Arryn, and Lady Rhea had sworn fealty to her.

"Remember your identity, the nobles of the Vale are loyal to the Arryn family."

Jenny held her head high and puffed out her chest, secretly complaining: "Be careful about the situation and be prepared to overwhelm others with your power."

As long as she can stay in power, her vassals will not rebel.

At the critical moment, put pressure on the king.

The kingdom still has legal basis.

boom!
Just as she was thinking well, the door suddenly opened and the sound made her tremble with fear.

Looking back, the sky was painted with fiery clouds.

Aemon had a cold face and rushed in aggressively, ignoring the guards' attempts to stop him.

It looked like it wanted to eat someone.

Jenny's eyebrows were raised, and she stood up and asked in confusion: "Your Highness, what can I do for you?"

The loser does not lose the formation.

Yimeng's face was as cold as ice, and he started to accuse her: "You have evil intentions, ma'am!"

"what?"

Jenny felt confused.

This was the effect Aemon wanted. He asked, "There is a dragon in the Vale."

Yes, he did it on purpose.

Jenny Arryn was known as the "Valley Virgin", which showed that she was a very capable woman.

Just like an empty tube of toothpaste, if you don't squeeze it, you'll never know how much is hidden inside.

If you want to conquer the valley, the first step is to anger her.

She only reveals her flaws when she is angry.

as predicted.

Jenny was stunned after hearing this, and then she said frankly, "Not long after the name of 'Dragon Slayer' spread, my scholars speculated that its hunting range had expanded."

Eamonn made no comment.

"It was huge and terrifying, and could eat more than a dozen sheep in one meal."

Memories flashed through Jenny's eyes, and she smiled fearlessly: "No one knows where the nest is."

Just pass the buck.

The wild dragon was scared away by the "dragon-slaying incident" and fled to the valley to look for food.

The king and his people often see dragons, but it's nothing serious.

"But you concealed it, ma'am!"

Aemon stared at those beautiful black eyes and insisted on this point.

Jenny met his gaze and couldn't help but get annoyed: "Are you questioning me, the Duke of Yijing?"

Dignity is challenged.

"Obviously, ma'am."

Aemon did not back down.

Hiding the traces of a wild dragon could be a big or small matter.

If Jenny had not had any improper thoughts, she should have reported the first loss of sheep in the Vale of Arryn to the royal court in a timely manner.

"..."

Jenny said nothing, her face becoming increasingly cold.

She found herself falling into the other party's rhetoric and had to prove that she was not wrong.

But this matter itself has a very flexible bottom line.

For a moment, both sides refused to give in and the situation became tense.

If looks could kill, your highness would not survive this night.

"Ma'am, are you ready to eat?"

Suddenly, a clear voice broke the low pressure in the hall.

Jane Sifu rushed back from outside the door and tactfully walked between the two of them, blocking their line of sight.

At this time, Lannar, Rainier and others came in one after another.

Madam Leia, who was watching from upstairs, curled her lips and walked down the stairs.

As more people gather, the atmosphere becomes more relaxed.

"Mom, come and sit down."

Aemon's expression seemed to melt and he greeted Lady Rhea with a smile.

The expression is natural and there is no sign of fakery.

Jenny can't do that.

Her eyes were filled with anger, like a powder keg about to explode.

Dirty water has been splashed on me and I haven't washed it off yet.

What's more, there is the anger and shame of having one's little tricks exposed.

But Imon obviously doesn't worry about these things.

The other party is angry.

His goal was achieved.

I pulled out three chairs and invited my mother and two friends to sit down.

"Prince, please forgive me for the poor hospitality."

Jen Sifu bent down to apologize, and secretly pulled Jenny's hand with her little hand.

She knew very well that His Royal Highness became angry only after he got off the dragon's back.

It's obvious that he is deliberately looking for trouble.

But she was riding Miss Lannar's dragon, so she couldn't catch up and didn't want to.

By the time she ran back to the tower from the back garden, breathless, it was too late.

"It has nothing to do with you. You are not the owner of this place."

Imon inherited his mother's weird personality.

Jenny glared at him, her teeth itching with hatred.

She was 21 years old, two years younger than Lannar.

I haven't developed the ability to remain calm in the face of adversities.

At this moment, facing the Prince who was becoming more and more demanding, he even wanted to call the guards to rush in.

"Ma'am, you must be tired."

Jen Sifu took her hand, turned her back and blinked hard.

The ass decides the head.

In the past, she wanted to be the princess of River Valley Town, to manage Fushishi City in an orderly manner and handle the dealings of all parties.

Although neither Lady Leia nor His Royal Highness said anything, she vaguely sensed that His Royal Highness had greater ambitions.

The Eagle's Nest is a prominent city and can never defeat a dragon.

"Humph!"

Jenny snorted coldly and flicked her sleeves: "I'm going back to rest. Excuse me."

I'm so angry.

Janesfu apologized to Imon and others, looking at her adoptive mother, Lady Rhea, with pleading eyes.

Mrs. Rhea did not respond and kicked her son under the table.

Yimon understood immediately that his mother was heartbroken.

He chuckled and said, "You should accompany Madam Jenny first. You have worked hard today."

"Thank you, Prince."

Jane Sifu was full of gratitude and fulfilled her duties as a female companion.

He just glanced at Aemon with a lost look while climbing the stairs.

It was this glance that Aemon saw.

Yimon's face was full of black lines, and he pretended not to see it.

Even after so much training from her mother, Jen Sifu’s acting skills still look fake at first glance.

Even though I know there is no chance, I still refuse to give up.

She knew Aemon would see it, and Aemon knew she was letting him see it on purpose.

She knew that Yimon could see through her little thoughts, and Yimon also knew that she was deliberately trying to make him see through her little thoughts.

It’s so confusing!
"Haha~~"

Lannar sat aside, covering her mouth and laughing.

Aemon looked around.

Apart from Lannino who was busy eating, even Rainier was staring at him with dangerous eyes.

Aemon's face fell.

Injustice!
