Chapter 7 Seagull Knight
Just as he thought.

Before the sun set, a town surrounded by low white walls appeared in front of the team.

Haiou Town covers a large area, and the curling smoke and bustling voices under the setting sun prove its prosperity.

As an ice-free port, there is never a shortage of maritime trade.

"Shut up!"

Before they got close to Seagull Town, an armored knight rode on horseback to block the road.

The man had no ill intentions. When he saw dozens of valiant and high-spirited valley knights, he dismounted and saluted.

"My dear lady, the Shet family of Seagull Tower has been waiting for you for a long time."

The knight lowered his head and knelt on one knee politely.

The noise outside woke up Eamon who was drowsy in the carriage. The little guy lifted the curtain with sleepy eyes to check.

The knight in silver-grey plate armor looks handsome, with black-brown curly hair and a short beard on his chin, and his upright posture is full of power.

When he looked up, his eyes sparkled with shrewdness.

Imon tilted his head and looked at this handsome uncle who looked to be in his thirties.

They are all middle-aged people, but much more popular than Gunthor.

"Rise, Ser Lion."

Even though she was exhausted, Lady Rhea responded indifferently, maintaining the demeanor of a great noble.

"Yes, ma'am."

Sir Ryan Shetter thanked and stood up.

Yimon leaned his hands against the car window, his chin resting on the back of his hands, and just wanted to eat and sleep early.

Fortunately, the Royce family has a foothold in Seagull Town and has its own vassals.

Sir Ryan was obviously a shrewd and capable man. He ordered his servants to go home and prepare first, while he stayed behind to lead the way for the lord.

Seagull Town has beautiful scenery, and its architectural style tends to be white, orange and yellow. There are many towers in the city center and coastal areas.

Compared with Fushi City, which was built solely to defend against foreign enemies, it is truly picturesque.

As it got dark, the group arrived at a tall white tower in the town.

"Ma'am, please come in."

Sir Ryan was respectful, and his wife and children presented a plate of broken bread and salt.

"thanks for treatment."

Lady Rhea smiled, picked up a piece of bread, dipped it in salt and ate it, not forgetting to give a piece to Aemon at his leg.

Follow the ancient rights of guest.

"Thank you."

Aemon, who was being fed, thanked politely and chewed the food with big mouthfuls.

Once we entered the door, we noticed a flag hanging on the wall of the small hall.

Three spread golden wings on a black grid background.

Aemon turned his mind and recalled the knowledge taught by the old maester in the book.

The Shet family of Seagull Tower, one of the loyal vassals of the Royce family.

Speaking of which, the network of relationships here is complicated.

Seagull Town is extremely wealthy and has many aristocratic families.

The oldest family is the Shet family, which has been an enemy of the Royce family for generations and is also known as the "Shet family of Seagull Town."

After the last Bronze King defeated the Shet family and captured Gulltown, the losers tried to hire the Andals across the sea to retake their homeland.

Unexpectedly, the blond and blue-eyed Andals did not abide by the spirit of the contract at all.

After repelling the Bronze King, they also defeated their employer, the Shet family, and a powerful group of nobles took advantage of the situation to take control of Seagull Town.

That is the current lord of Seagull Town, known as the "Graveson Family of Seagull Town".

Except for this family, the original Shet family was not wiped out. They swore allegiance to the victor and continued to live in Seagull Town.

This is very similar to the Royce family, who all chose to surrender after being defeated.

Over time, a large family will always develop some side branches.

Their host, Sir Ryan Shetter, was a descendant of a wealthy knight family that had lived in the Seagull Tower for generations.

Because both his fiefdom and castle contain the word "seagull", he is also known as the "Seagull Knight".

"Prince, if you are tired, you can go upstairs and rest."

Seeing the silver-haired boy looking around, Sir Ryan was very perceptive.

"No, I'm a little hungry?"

Aemon waved his hand in a friendly manner.

His Royal Highness said he was hungry, and the entire Seagull Tower could not be ignored. A sumptuous dinner was served on the table, all of which were high-quality ingredients that were not easy to buy in Fushi City, and they took a lot of effort.

Aemon smiled and took small sips of each.

Not only did they enjoy delicious food, but they also did not bring shame to the royal family.

A meal is a feast for both host and guest.

……

The next day.

The port of Seagull Town is very busy, with hundreds of sailboats of all sizes anchored on the sea.

Yimon held his mother's hand and walked and looked around under layers of protection.

The area nearby is comparable to a downtown area, with vendors and sailors coming and going frequently, and the noise can be heard from far away.

“I’ve learned a lot.”

Aemon stood on the shore, looking out at the blue waves.

After two lives, the first thing I did was to see the sea.

I opened my mouth in surprise. It was so novel to see the sailors unloading cargo.

"Madam, Prince, our ship is right there."

Ser Ryan was still dressed as he had been yesterday, in armor, pointing to a three-masted sailing ship anchored on the shore.

Aemon looked where the guidance was, and saw the pennants fluttering in the wind on the tall masts.

It was embroidered with a pattern, a black triangle on a flame-red background, and a yellow burning tower on top.

"That's the Graveson family's ship."

William came up to me at some point, showing off his superficial knowledge.

"I know." Aemon nodded.

The Grafson family controls Seagull Town, one of the five major ports. They have numerous cargo ships under their command and have accumulated countless wealth.

It is impossible that I didn’t receive an invitation to this royal hunting trip.

Not only do people have to participate, but the goods can also be shipped to King's Landing to make a fortune, and it makes sense to give people a ride halfway.

"Let's get on board."

Eamonn couldn't wait to try the feeling of sailing.

Lady Rhea was not one to procrastinate. She led the team directly on board the ship and greeted the captain of the ship under the introduction of Sir Ryan.

The captain is a fat man with a slick and flattering personality.

When they heard that there was a Targaryen prince among the passengers, they exclaimed that they were very lucky and wanted to change the name of the ship to "Prince Aemon".

Eamon responded: …

Why do I feel uncomfortable all over when I hear the word "good luck"?

The fat captain did not give him a chance to deny. He quickly arranged two clean and spacious cabins for the "big man" and turned around and disappeared without a trace.

Young prince!

If you build good relationships in advance and use the royal family as a banner, you will be able to gain an upper hand in business.

Even without mentioning the royal family, the Royce family of Fushishi City and Seagull Town have been "good neighbors" for generations.

When the little prince inherits the castle fiefdom from his mother's family, the relationship will be even closer.

When Yimon realized this, he could only say that all businessmen are dishonest.

The little tricks are playing very well.

The ship set sail quickly, with the waves splashing high.

Aemon stood at the bow, watching the ship drift away from the port.

There were many sailboats traveling together, like chess pieces on a chessboard, facing outward and parallel to each other.

Looking left and right, there are towering mountain walls hundreds of meters high on both sides of the port, forming an inverted triangle-shaped sheltered area.

It is this natural barrier that blocks the cold winter weather.

It creates an ice-free port with warm weather all year round in Seagull Town.

Aemon watched carefully, and his favorable impression of Seagull Town increased. He secretly envied this excellent territory that was blessed by the gods.

"If I lived in Seagull Town, I would definitely be able to collect more magical items."

Her little hand rested on her cheek, and her big eyes sparkled with envy.

I secretly swore in my heart that I must get a piece of territory as rich as Haiou Town in the future.

Enjoy life fiercely!

 Set sail! set sail!
