After a brief moment of panic, Orris quickly regained his composure and walked towards Therese. "Welcome, envoy of Dorne, from afar," Orris said. Therese stepped forward and bowed deeply to Orris. "Thank you for your welcome, Your Majesty. I have brought 500 Dornish spearmen with me for Your Majesty's service." Orris listened to Therese's words, glanced at the soldiers on the ship, nodded slightly, and put his hand on Therese's shoulder. "Since it is Prince Doran's kindness, I can only accept it. I will prepare appropriate gifts for Prince Doran. The food in the palace is ready. I believe you will have an unforgettable experience." After saying this, Orris led Therese-Shad towards the carriage. Along the way, Orris rode Durotan and chatted with Therese casually.

Trinity-Shad's basic information is basically the same as what Orris knew in his previous life. She is the illegitimate daughter of Oberyn Martell and a nun. She has dazzling blonde hair, which makes her look very innocent. However, Orris knows that Trinity is very skilled in poisons and can secretly poison people without alerting others. This is Trinity-Shad's most powerful weapon.

The palace banquet was a great success, with both hosts and guests enjoying themselves. Teresa presented gifts to the two queens of Oris, and Oris, as the emperor, personally presented Teresa with a hairpin made of orogenic bronze.

After the banquet, Oris continued to handle state affairs in his study. Due to the short history of the empire and the many areas that needed reform, Oris always felt that there was never enough work to do. Sometimes, Oris even thought of entrusting state affairs to the King of Westeros, just like the kings of Westeros. But considering the current situation in Westeros, he decided against it. Oris also did not want to support a powerful noble family that would dominate the many families during his reign.

Just as Oris was busy in his study, there was a soft knock on the door. Oris didn't let her in, as he had to be careful about assassinations by the Faceless Ones. Oris got up and walked to the door, slowly opening it. He saw a blonde woman named Trinity holding pastries and looking at him gently. Seeing this, Oris let Trinity into the room.

After placing the pastries on the desk, Trianne, with her back to Oris, spoke softly, "My father said you specifically summoned me here. Prince Doran originally intended for me to infiltrate the church." Oris was slightly surprised by Trianne's words. Had Doran started planning this so early? But Oris maintained his composure and returned to his seat. "You're just stating your uncle's plans so bluntly? It's a bit of a waste for such a beautiful woman like you to enter the church."

Treni smiled gently at Oris's words, slowly walked around the desk, and sat on Oris's lap. "Then I must thank Your Majesty for saving me. I really don't like places like the church."

Oris dodged Treni's teasing hand and looked directly into her beautiful eyes. "Being too forward isn't a good thing, especially since I know a bit about your situation." Oris's words were clear: Treni-Shad was beautiful, but she was undeniably prickly, making Oris wary.

As soon as Oris finished speaking, Trinity immediately put on a pitiful expression, forcefully pressed her lips to Oris's face, and whispered in Oris's ear, "What women want is nothing more than wealth, status, and perfect love. Since I have all of these, I certainly won't destroy them myself."

Upon hearing Trinity's words, Oris could no longer suppress the fire in his heart. He picked Trinity up and carried her toward the bed in the study. Unlike the full-figured figures of Alexandra and Jennifer, Trinity's slenderness gave Oris a different experience.

The next morning, just as Oris woke up, Jessica Albat was teasing his nose with the tip of her hair. Oris chuckled and immediately embraced the naked woman. "Do you want to be queen?" Trinley whispered, nestled against Oris's chest. "I've already got everything I wanted. You can't imagine how jealous my sisters are of me, and besides, my identity isn't suitable to be exposed." Trinley said, kissing Oris's cheek again.

After breakfast, besides spending time with the two queens and handling state affairs, Oris finally had time to play with his young dragons. Just as Oris was watching the mosasaurs swim and hunt, Qyburn brought him a special letter. Oris took it and opened it, only to find it was a letter from King Braavos. After pondering for a moment, Oris called a guard to open the letter, and Oris read it aloud with the guard's help.

The letter was short, mostly consisting of meaningless diplomatic rhetoric. It condemned Oris's undeclared war, stated that he did not know the reason for Oris's actions, and described the suffering of the citizens of Braavos who were starving. It hoped that Oris would lift the blockade for the sake of the starving people. As for the issue of reparations, the letter made no mention of it, only stating that if Oris was willing to withdraw his troops, Aquaman himself would accept Oris's punishment.

Oris's head was throbbing from reading all this nonsense. If it weren't for Braavos's stubbornness, Oris would have run off to Westeros long ago. He had already given up on stopping Margaery Tyrell from marrying Renly for Braavos's sake. Was it all for Aquaman's life, which could be buried at any moment?

Oris immediately instructed Qyburn to draft a reply, outlining his conditions: Oris demanded half the wealth of the Iron Treasury and half of Braavos's ships as peace terms. He also required each family to pay a ransom for offending the New Valyrian Empire, and demanded that Neptune hand over three dragon eggs from Dreamfire.

Oris wasn't sure if Daenerys's dragon eggs originated from Dreamfire; his final condition was merely a test for Aquaman. After all, Illyrio claimed the three dragon eggs did indeed come from Asher, meaning Aquaman likely still possessed the three dragon eggs stolen by Elisa-Farman. Even with the petrified eggs, Oris still refused to leave them in Aquaman's hands.

After Oris finished speaking, he sent Qyburn to deliver the letter to the front lines. Before Qyburn left, Oris specifically instructed him to try to spread the contents of the letter throughout the city of Braavos.

Oris's demands are primarily aimed at the nobility. However, if, as Aquaman claims, Braavos is truly ravaged by famine, then even if Aquaman doesn't agree to Oris's conditions, the enraged mob will force him to comply. After all, the mob of King's Landing is known as the strongest fighting force, capable of even storming dragon lairs and slaying dragons. It remains to be seen whether the mob of Braavos possesses such strength.
