Game of Thrones: Dance of the Dragons

"Hello, beautiful Miss Janssef," Baylor said politely, putting down his knife and fork.

"Prince Bellor, you are as handsome and considerate as the legends say, which I deeply admire."

After saying that, Jansfe opened her arms and gently hugged Baylor, while leaving a light kiss on his cheek.

Faced with this sudden action, Baylor remained outwardly calm, but when he spoke again, his tone was more distant.

"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Janssf."

"Those compliments are just flattery from others to me, and they're not worth paying attention to."

"Jansef, the prince has come to help us deal with the Mountain Clan. Let's not cause him any more trouble."

Jenny sensed Baylor's displeasure and quickly spoke up to remind her, pulling her hand to make her sit down next to her.

Jenny then quickly apologized to Baylor.

"I'm sorry, Prince."

"Jansef greatly admires your bravery and legend. I apologize for not being more courteous than I should have been."

"It's okay, I understand."

Baylor looked at the two of them with great curiosity.

He had heard some rumors back in King's Landing.

It is said that Jenny and Janet are inseparable, living and eating together, and there are even rumors that they have had an intimate relationship.

Now it seems that such rumors were not entirely unfounded...

Unfortunately, Beller didn't bring his good sister Renella, who usually loves listening to this kind of gossip.

After the banquet had been going on for a while, Beller realized that his dear aunt, Lady Rhea, was not there.

Logically, as Damon's wife and a member of the royal family, she should have been present to greet the Crown Prince alongside Jenny.

Jenny explained, "Not long ago, the Gaoshan Clan gathered a large force in the Mingyue Mountains, preparing to launch a night attack on Hongge City."

"To ensure the safety of Eyrie, Lady Rhea personally led troops to garrison the city and has not yet returned."

Beile immediately asked, "How many people are there in the High Mountain Clan? Have you conducted any reconnaissance?"

"When they first attacked Hongge City, there were about five hundred of them."

"The Gaoshan clan has been operating in the Mingyue Mountains for a long time, and their military strength is definitely not this small. They are likely trying to lure us into a trap."

Jenny truly lives up to her reputation as a duchess who has served for over a decade; her analysis of the High Mountain Clan is remarkably insightful.

"In that case, once I've finished resting, I'll immediately ride the Glutton to Hongge City to support Lady Rhea," Beller made up his mind immediately.

The Gaoshan clan was nothing more than a slightly larger group of brutes who liked to launch nighttime raids.

When the dragon descends, no matter how many of you there are, you will all be reduced to ashes!

Jenny smiled and nodded, her expression clearly indicating that she wanted to say something but hesitated, as if she had not expected Baylor's decisiveness at all.

Baylor noticed this change in his mood, but he didn't say anything. Instead, after he had eaten and drunk his fill, he left the banquet on his own.

……

After the party, Jenny and Janice returned to their own rooms.

"You shouldn't have stopped me from being intimate with Prince Baylor," James complained.

"His fiancée hasn't been decided yet. If he doesn't make a move now, is he going to wait to become the prince's mistress?"

Putting everything else aside, as a representative of gentleness and maturity, Janicev is very confident in herself.

Jenny lay on the bed, gently advising, "Things aren't as simple as you think. According to what I've heard, Prince Baylor is almost completely uninterested in women."

"Moreover, judging from the king's attitude, it seems that he intends for the two siblings to follow family traditions."

"Renera is my best friend. Don't I know what kind of person she is? I'm protecting you."

Jessica had to admit that she could never win an argument with Jenny.

"Enough about me. What was that hesitant look on your face just now, trying to say something?"

Jenny closed her eyes. "I have some very minor thoughts, and I haven't decided yet whether or not to be honest with my dear cousin."

"At least, let's deal with the rebellion within the valley first, and then figure out a solution..."

After all, this matter concerns whether she can secure her position as duchess, so she must be extremely cautious!

……

Early morning, outside Eagle's Nest.

After a simple breakfast, Baylor sat to the side waiting for the gluttons to finish eating.

Jenny stood to the side, talking to Baylor about the intelligence that had just been delivered.

"Lady Rhea sent a message through a raven: the Mountain Clan has hidden in the valleys and dense forests outside Hongge City. It is difficult for the cavalry to find their tracks, and they need the assistance of the dragons."

Baylor readily agreed, "No problem."

"This is what I'm worried about: once the mountain clans discover the dragon's trail, they will choose to hide in a steep valley."

"My cousin should know that dragons have a great advantage on flat terrain, but not on steep valleys."

Baylor told the truth, but not entirely.

Jenny's hesitant expression at dawn made him think of a possibility, so he deliberately changed his approach to getting information out of her.

As expected, Jenny's expression immediately changed from sunny to cloudy, and her slightly furrowed brows indicated that she was weighing the pros and cons.

Baylor did not urge them, but simply stated that he would ride the dragon to the scene first and would not wait for the knights of the Eyrie.

Jenny smiled and nodded. "Okay, I can lead the knights of the valley here in a morning at most."

"I see."

Baylor turned and mounted the Glutton.

When passing through the valley road, he deliberately increased his flight altitude.

Sure enough, the mountain clan was found hiding in the dense thicket.

Beller immediately ordered the Gluttons to attack. The scorching, clinging, eerie green dragonfire, like fire worms crawling all over their bodies, relentlessly tore at their nerves and skin.

Finally, after capturing a fleeing commander-level figure, they left satisfied.

"Luckily, I was careful enough."

Although the Gaoshan clan was impulsive and foolish, their tactical acumen far surpassed that of ordinary people.

If it weren't for the dragon's aerial advantage, even a Beile might not have been able to discover the mountain clan hidden in the bushes.

It seems that he will need to put in more effort to completely eliminate these barbarians.

Hongge City.

To prevent the mountain clansmen from discovering the dragon's whereabouts, Beile deliberately took a long detour and placed the gluttons in the rear to await orders.

"Welcome, Prince Bellor."

Upon seeing the glutton, the weariness on Lady Rhea and the other nobles instantly vanished, replaced by boundless joy and excitement.

They believed that the dragon's flames and attacks would surely eliminate the threat of the mountain clans!

"Let's not talk about that now, Aunt."

"Have you captured any prisoners from the Gaoshan clan and obtained their exact number of participants?"

To win every battle, one must know the enemy inside and out, especially when dealing with mountain tribes, who are barbarians who live in the mountains year-round.

If you don't do your intelligence work properly, someone can easily expose you.

"We've captured many, but none of them are leaders, so we can't get any key information out of them." Mrs. Rhea lowered her head in shame.
