Game of Thrones: Dance of the Dragons

Its first owner was Visenia Targaryen, the sister and queen of Aegon the First Conqueror.

The second master was Baelor's grandfather, Prince of Dragonstone, the brave Prince Belron.

The third master was Lannar Valerian, the eldest daughter of the sea serpent and a descendant of Rhaenys Targaryen, the uncrowned queen.

Today, this old dragon's size and fighting power are almost identical to those of the deceased Bellerion.

Even a single dragon like the Glutton might not be able to defeat him.

"Wow, what a huge dragon!"

Aegon excitedly poked his head out, but his face immediately fell when he saw the dragon's appearance.

"Why are all dragons so ugly?"

"Won't you be ugly when you get old?"

Baylor was speechless. Was the only thing on this guy's mind the dragon's appearance?

"Roar!!"

Vaghar sensed the hostility and immediately stood up from the beach, roaring as he declared war on the gluttons.

The gluttonous creature, not to be outdone, let out a low roar, its deep green eyes fixed on the old dragon before it, which was older and larger than itself.

If it really comes down to a fight to the death, the Glutton has a very small chance of winning, because it is neither as big nor as experienced in combat as Vaghar.

In terms of speed and mobility, the Glutton, as the king of wild dragons, absolutely crushes Vaghar.

"Belle, we're here for Lord Corliss's name day. Let's not cause any unnecessary trouble," Renilla said, sensing the hostility of the two wild dragons.

"Don't worry." Baylor isn't stupid.

He hadn't been in sync with the gluttons for long and had no combat experience.

Even if we were to fight, we would have to wait until the gluttons grew a bit bigger and gained some combat experience before we could engage them.

He patted the glutton beneath him, soothing its belligerent nature in Valyrian.

The glutton is not a fool. As the king of wild dragons, he understands very well the principle of seeking advantage and avoiding harm.

Even if it were to fight, it would wait until it was stronger.

……

After slowing down, Beller and the others placed the dragon in an open area far from Climax City, where members of the Valerian family and knights had been waiting for a long time.

"Cousin, on behalf of Tidehead Island, I welcome you!" Lannino, dressed in a luxurious suit, affectionately hugged each of the three, including Baylor, one after another.

Before coming to Tidehead Island, Rhaenyla had told Beller about the island, and that the sea serpent Corliss and her aunt Rhaenys had a son and a daughter.

The eldest daughter, Lannar, tamed Varghal, the greatest dragon of the Targaryen family.

The eldest son, Lannino, tamed the silver-gray-looking Sea Smoke from the new generation.

"Greetings, Prince and Princess!" The accompanying guards and knights bowed respectfully.

"Why are you alone, cousin? Where is Lord Corliss?"

According to etiquette, when a member of the royal family arrives, the head of the Valerian family, as a vassal, must personally greet him in order to demonstrate loyalty and sincerity.

"There are so many people here today, Father is worried that the banquet will not be enough to entertain the royal family."

"So, he... he started arranging the banquet first!" Lannino was still young, and he stammered when he lied, not even daring to look people in the eye.

Baylor's smile vanished instantly, replaced by a sarcastic tone. "Is that so?"

"It seems that Lord Corliss values ​​this banquet far more than welcoming members of the royal family."

The Sea Serpent was merely an earl, a vassal of the Targaryen family, whose current status was achieved through generations of intermarriage.

Now, the king's eldest son, eldest daughter, and second son have come to visit in person, but the sea serpent has only sent his eldest son and a group of knights to greet them. The disrespect is obvious.

"Cousin, you've misunderstood. My father absolutely has no intention of disrespecting the royal family!" Lannino hurriedly explained.

Baylor patted him on the shoulder, signaling him to be quiet.

Then, looking at the captain of the guards, who also had long silver hair, he said, "Tell the sea serpent that the king's eldest son, Baelor Targaryen, eldest daughter, Rhaenyra Targaryen, and second son, Aegon Targaryen, all three members of the royal family, felt his warm hospitality."

"To show our sincerity, we will wait here for Lord Sea Serpent until he personally and respectfully welcomes the royal family."

As he spoke, he pulled Lannino to his side. "Sir Lannino will wait with us and tell Lord Sea Serpent to take his time. We're not in a hurry at all."

"Yes, Your Highness, please wait a moment, I will go and inform Lord Sea Serpent immediately!" The captain did not dare to hesitate and immediately ran towards Climax City.

In less than five minutes, the sea serpent Corliss Valerian and his younger brother Weimond Valerian arrived with a group of family members to greet them.

"Your Highness, I apologize for my lack of manners just now. It's all because there were just too many nobles who came to offer their congratulations."

"Welcome to Tidehead Island and all the royal children. I am deeply honored!" Corliss bowed and sincerely apologized to Baylor.

With just a few words, he completely absolved himself of the blame for his negligence, demonstrating that he had not done it intentionally.

They're all seasoned foxes, what are they pretending to be?

Whether it was genuine neglect or a deliberate attempt to intimidate, Baylor knew the answer, and Sea Serpent knew it even better.

"Lord Sea Serpent, I accept your apology."

"It's all thanks to your presence here, young master. Otherwise, I would have liked to have the Glutton go to the beach to catch some fish for us, so we could enjoy the sea breeze and have dinner here."

As he spoke, Beller smiled and pointed to the gluttons behind him.

Sensing Baylor's emotions, the Glutton immediately cooperated by extending its dragon head, its terrifying appearance resembling that of an evil god, and emitting a chilling growl.

"Your Highness is too kind. House Valerian has been loyal to House Targaryen for generations. To neglect you would be to neglect me."

"Now, I invite the prince and princess to accompany me to the banquet."

Sea Serpent truly lives up to his reputation as the most astute patriarch of the Valerian family; his way of speaking is impeccable.

Baylor secretly sized up the sea serpent, then resumed his previous smile. "I accept your apology, Lord Sea Serpent. Please."

Whether it was done intentionally or was genuinely a deliberate act of negligence,

The sea serpent's purpose was to test the king's eldest son, the future crown prince's ability to handle emergencies.

Clearly, the result exceeded his expectations.

Not only did Beller not show any sign of losing his composure, but he even used Lannino to directly threaten the Sea Serpent into bringing a large entourage to receive him.

They not only saved face but also turned the tide of the probing attack.

It's no exaggeration to say that Baylor passed the test with flying colors, forcing the Sea Serpent to take him seriously.

Following in Corliss's footsteps, they entered Climax City.

In the reception hall, nobles of all ranks came in an endless stream to offer their congratulations.

boom--

The door was suddenly pushed open, and upon seeing Lord Corliss and the royal family members behind him, the atmosphere and the objective of the scene were once again pushed to a climax.
