Game of Thrones: Dance of the Dragons

"Thank you for informing me, Sir Illic."

Seven years have passed, and the Targaryen dynasty has gradually moved towards peace and prosperity. During this time, the Kingdom of the Three Daughters and Dorne have also gradually recovered.

However, a month ago, they resumed their atrocities of harassing the border, plundering merchant ships, and kidnapping civilians.

Upon hearing this, Baylor immediately joined Damon, Rhaenys, and Lannard, the three dragon knights, to burn all the ships of Dorne and the Kingdom of the Three Daughters to ashes.

Unexpectedly, rebellions broke out in the valley and along the river, and the promised money, provisions, and soldiers could not be delivered in time.

To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, Baldr had no choice but to ride the Glutton back to King's Landing, leaving Damon and the other two to continue their deterrent presence at the border.

Red Castle, Council Chamber.

Pushing open the heavy door, Beller quickly went inside and found that neither Prime Minister Leonor nor Finance Minister Linman were present at the meeting.

And his father, Viserys, was in even worse mental condition than before, which was enough to prove how much this rebellion had troubled him.

"Father, how are things in the Valley and the Riverlands?" Baylor asked hastily, not even having time to sit down.

Viserys' unease subsided slightly upon seeing his eldest son, and he handed Leonor's letter to Baylor.

Beller took the letter and saw that the situation in the Riverlands was temporarily being managed by Linman and Leonor, and there wouldn't be too much chaos. The key was the mountain clans in the valley.

This group of people lived in the mountains year-round, and the knights of the valley were unable to effectively wipe them out. As a last resort, they hoped that the royal family would send dragon knights to their aid.

"Father, we can send Renilla and Helena to the Riverlands to provide support. With the help of two dragons, I believe the problem can be solved quickly."

"At least you can rest assured that the mountain clans in the valley can be left to me and the Gluttons. I guarantee that the problem will be solved in the shortest possible time."

As described multiple times in Larris's intelligence reports, the only advantage of the Mountain Clan lies in their ability to utilize valleys, their skill in concealment, and their ambush tactics.

If Baylor were to personally lead the Gluttons to provide support, he would not only gain the allegiance of the entire valley but also receive the Duke of Jenny's promise of military assistance—a win-win situation.

Seeing that his eldest son was confident, Viserys's furrowed brows finally relaxed. "Alright, let's do it your way."

"Renera and Helena will ride dragons to support the Riverlands, while Baylor will be responsible for supporting the Valley. We must quell the war with minimal cost and at the fastest speed."

"Yes, Father!"

The three of them stood up at the same time to respond.

Not daring to linger, they turned and left the imperial council meeting, arriving at the dragon's lair under the escort of their respective imperial guards.

Before setting off, Renilla thoughtfully tidied Belle's clothes, looking at her younger brother with heartache as he looked haggard.

"Sigh, you've just returned and you're already heading to the valley yourself. Father really doesn't give you any time at all."

Beller smiled as he enjoyed Renilla's service. "Well, what can I do? I'm the future king. It's my duty to share my father's burdens and maintain peace within the kingdom."

Renilla slapped him on the forehead in exasperation. "All you ever think about is your responsibilities. The day you collapse from exhaustion, I'll be the one taking care of you!"

Helena curiously peeked out, excitedly raising her little hand, "Sister, I'm all grown up now! If you find it hard, I can take care of brother!"

Renilla clicked her tongue in exasperation and turned to glare at Helena.

This girl, relying on her ability to tame the dragon Dreamfire, not only follows the prince to patrol the coastal border every day, but also occasionally talks back.

Don't argue with children.

Beller quickly took Renilla's hand and earnestly instructed her, "When you get to the Riverlands, don't stray too far from the dragon."

"In case of any unforeseen circumstances, you can ride the dragon to avoid danger."

Renilla nodded gently. "I've got it. You should go now."

"The valley is already the furthest place. If the two of us chat for a while longer, I'm afraid we won't be able to get there tonight."

"it is good."

Beller first embraced Renilla.

Afterwards, he gave Helena some private instructions before riding the Glutton and flying towards the valley.

Starting from King's Landing, passing through Pighorn, Harrenhal, and Saltworks, they finally arrived at the Blood Gate in the Vale at dawn.

Blood Gate, the valley's proudest defensive structure, relies on its natural geographical advantages to block all enemies except dragons.

"Roar—"

Hearing the dragon's roar, the knights waiting before the Blood Gate were overjoyed.

The dragon is a symbol of the Tangrian royal family, and it also signifies that reinforcements have arrived!

"Blood Gate Knight, we salute you!"

"May I ask which member of the royal family has come to provide assistance?"

Excitement is understandable, but the necessary inquiry process must be followed.

Baelor descended slowly aboard the Glutton, proclaiming in a loud voice: "Baelor Targaryen, eldest son of Viserys I, liberator of slaves, breaker of chains, heir to the Iron Throne."

Upon hearing that the Crown Prince had arrived in person, the knights guarding the Blood Gate immediately became respectful.

The legendary tales of Baelor Targaryen in Tyrosh had long been sung as myths by wandering singers in the Vale.

For them, being able to see the Crown Prince in person is no less than winning a war.

"I know your identity. Release me immediately!" the knight commander shouted.

The Blood Gate opened immediately.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone!"

After saying this, Baylor immediately tightened the reins and steered the Glutton toward the Eyrie.

"Thank you for your approval, Your Highness!"

"The Knights of the Valley forever pay you their highest respect!"

Upon hearing the shouts from afar, Baylor couldn't help but smile knowingly.

His mother was the daughter of the former duke, and the entire valley was a natural ally of the Prince.

Now, the Crown Prince riding a dragon to personally support the Eyrie is no less significant to the entire Vale than the arrival of the Seven Gods.

Above the Eyrie, with three roars from the dragon, Duke Jenny Erin of the Vale, along with her family members and personal guards, awaited.

"Cousin Baylor, it's you who came to help?" Jenny was overjoyed.

According to her judgment, the person who came to help should be her blood relative Renilla, not Baylor, who was fighting on the Steps Islands.

"Long time no see, cousin. You are even more beautiful than before," Prince said, stepping down from the dragon's back.

Jenny hugged Belle warmly, "Your sweet words are still so endearing."

"You must be exhausted after traveling all day."

"I've ordered the cook to prepare food and bathwater. You can rest comfortably for the night. We can discuss the details when you wake up."

Baylor did not refuse and, led by Jenny, entered the Eyrie.

The vibrancy here is comparable to that of the Red Fort.

The main hall is located on the left side of the first floor of the castle, where, under Jenny's orders, food is being served to the tables in an orderly manner by the maids.

"Please don't be shy, Prince, we are family." Jenny gestured for him to enter.

Baylor remained calm and composed throughout, maintaining impeccable manners until Jenny began to eat first, at which point he began to enjoy his meal.

"Your Highness, Janssef of House Redwin pays you her highest respects."

A gentle female voice came from beside me.

Baylor looked up and saw a woman with black curly hair, an exceptionally gentle demeanor, and expectant eyes bowing and greeting him beside him.
