Game of Thrones: Dance of the Dragons

"Last time?"

"A true dragon is not afraid of fire; a true dragon will surely be reborn from the ashes."

Beller vaguely remembered that Helena seemed to have said that she saw it in a dream.

At first, he thought it was just a child's wild imagination. Now it seems that Helena is very likely the second Dream Awakener in the family, besides himself.

Baylor crouched down and asked, "Besides these, what else did you see?"

Helena took the opportunity to hug Beller, "I also saw my brother sitting in the iron chair, playing chess."

"Let's eat all those pesky eagles, white wolves, squid, lions, and even the crowned deer!"

Allison helplessly hugged Helena in her arms and scolded, "My child, your brother is only six years old. He can't eat that much food."

Renilla glared at Alison. "I believe in my brother. He's a dragon reborn from the ashes. What's a few animals compared to that?"

Viserys immediately chimed in, "Renila is right. Dragons are never afraid of fire, let alone a few mere animals."

"My child, I've told you before that you don't eat enough for breakfast every day. You need to eat more mutton to grow into an excellent knight!"

"I... I'll give it a try."

It wasn't that Baelor couldn't eat more, but rather that the breakfast his father Viserys prepared every day was far too greasy.

Grilled lamb, cream cake, smoked pork sausage, and several large glasses of red wine.

These delicacies, in the eyes of Baylor, who has always eaten a balanced diet of meat and vegetables, are like tears of ris.

After breakfast, Baylor rode his dragon to the outside of the Red Keep. He first assigned these people to their respective jobs according to their professions, and finally, he sent those without any skills to farm.

They promised that the Targaryens would provide them with three meals a day and set up some simple tents for them to sleep in.

Everyone performed their duties, rested on time, and had a full meal every day. Such a life used to be like a dream.

The slaves were incredibly grateful for Baylor's kindness, and when they worked, they wished they could give their lives to repay the freedom they had gained.

……

Outside the capital, in the brewing cellar.

A Talosi man poured grain liquor into a glass and drank it all on the spot.

"Your Highness, please rest assured, this is a family heirloom craft, and I supervise the entire production process. It's impossible for anyone to poison it."

Beller picked up the glass; unlike red wine, the grain liquor was much cloudy.

In terms of taste, it is within an acceptable range, and the brewing cost is low.

As long as Westeros is currently in summer and there is no war, the price of food will not be too high.

Renilla also had a drink. "It's a very novel flavor. I think Father and all the lords will like it."

Prince nodded in agreement. "Then give Father and all the ministers a bucket each, and ask them to help sell it to their vassals."

The best way to facilitate the rapid flow of goods is to utilize the resources at your disposal for the fastest possible dissemination.

This practice should not only be shared among nobles, but also among ordinary people.

After the ten barrels of wine were packed and inspected by professionals, the Prince had his guards load them onto a carriage and take them back to the Red Castle.

Council Chamber.

"Well, I didn't expect those free agents from Tyrosi that you brought to have such skills."

"Not bad, not bad. Compared to red wine, grain liquor has a much stronger flavor and is best enjoyed slowly."

With that, Viserys poured himself another full cup, and after having Baylor store two more barrels for him, he continued to attend to state affairs with satisfaction.

The remaining grain wine was delivered one by one by the prince to the rooms of each of the imperial ministers.

Everyone here is a smart person; they knew this was a new product that Baylor Market was preparing to launch, and they immediately placed an order on behalf of their families.

The sea serpent's room.

"Prince, this grain liquor tastes very good. Compared to the red wine of the free trade city-states, this liquor is definitely the best value for money."

Of course, what Sea Serpent values ​​most about this wine is its cost-effectiveness. Not only is the production cost extremely low, but the longer it is stored, the better it tastes.

He had even planned to divide the grain wine into three grades and sell them to lords and commoners of varying wealth and poverty.

"Even Lord Sea Serpent praises it so highly," said Prince Beller. "I believe this item will definitely become a bestseller in the Seven Kingdoms."

The sea serpent smiled and picked up his wine glass. "It will not only become a hit, but it will also drive back the interests that the free trade city-states have gathered in the seven kingdoms, step by step."

Grain-based liquor is cheap, easy to brew, and easy to store; most importantly, it is inexpensive.

Compared to more expensive red wines, this wine is sure to become the hottest item.

"Beile, I'll offer one hundred gold dragon coins in the hope of purchasing grain wine that has been stored for more than three months from you and sending it to Chaotou Island."

"Consider the remaining money as my father-in-law's support for my son-in-law."

As a shrewd politician, the Sea Serpent would never miss any opportunity to expand his family's power, especially one related to the Crown Prince.

"Alright, then I'll thank you in advance, Father-in-law." Baylor wouldn't refuse.

They only gained some verbal advantage from the sea serpent, which was nothing compared to the real benefits.

The sea serpent patted Baylor on the shoulder with satisfaction. "My good son-in-law, I'm sure that our relationship will be more than just a title."

"Please do as you please." Baylor didn't want to argue with him over words.

His current goal is to promote his products and expand his trading market as quickly as possible.

Only then can you eat all the eagles, lions, squids, and deer with crowns around their necks on the map.

As for the sea serpent's current thoughts, as long as they don't interfere with his plans, Baylor doesn't want to concern himself with them.

We can't force him to marry two wives in front of the Seven Gods Sect bishop, can we?

……

By the afternoon of the following day, the money and provisions transported by the Hightoar family and the Order of the Seven finally arrived in King's Landing, escorted by guards.

King Viserys himself, along with his royal sons and a host of royal ministers, extended the warmest welcome.

"Your Majesty, the Seven Gods Order has come here to attend Prince Beile's coronation ceremony."

"I hope Your Majesty will allow me to personally preside over the coronation," the Archbishop of the Seven Gods said personally.

The ministers before the emperor were taken aback.

Throughout the history of Westeros, only the kings of the Seven Kingdoms have been qualified to be crowned by the High Priest of the Seven and to call themselves the rightful kings.

The crown prince is, after all, just an heir. No matter how high his status may be, it can never surpass the king's coronation ceremony.

Prime Minister Leonor sensed something was amiss. "Your Majesty, I believe the Seven Gods' proposal is not in accordance with..."

"Great, that's wonderful."

"Your Excellency, it is an honor for our Targaryen family that you would personally officiate the coronation of my eldest son."

"Please rest assured, I will have the Prime Minister immediately send ravens to all the dukes and nobles, so that they must arrive at Dragonstone as soon as possible within three months to attend Prince Baylor's coronation."

Viserys didn't mind at all.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the heart of this young king, only such a coronation ceremony was worthy of his eldest son!
