Game of Thrones: Dance of the Dragons

"Big brother, you promised me you'd let me tame a dragon!"

"If Helena and I hadn't been there to hold back Vormisor and Silverwing, do you think you'd still be standing here alive?"

"I am sending you back so that you may calm your restlessness and, more importantly, so that my scholar may teach you about the taming and understanding of dragons. This will make it easier for you to tame sheep thieves in the future."

Baylor came to subdue Imond, not to create conflict.

Therefore, directly stating the reasons will more effectively help the other party understand your thoughts.

Hearing this reason, Imond finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still very unwilling.

"Brother, I accept your punishment, but can I stay on Dragonstone to study?"

Even if he returned to King's Landing, Aemond would still have to study the knowledge left by the maesters, leaving him almost no time to come into contact with and understand dragons.

Baylor knew the mindset Allison had instilled in the two brothers, so he did not refuse Imond's request.

"Okay, but you must promise me that you will never act as impulsively as you did today during your studies."

Amond placed his right hand over his heart with great emotion and solemnly declared, "Targians, a promise is a promise, and there will be no going back on it!"

The first two sentences are the description Imond heard from Helena, and the last sentence is his own assurance to Baylor.

Baylor patted Imond on the shoulder with satisfaction.

When it comes to family honor, the Targaryens never easily break their promises.

The next day, the four of them set off from Dragonstone Island and flew to the nearest Steppe Islands.

Upon arriving near Bloodstone Island, they saw many damaged warships and white-washed corpses floating in the sea.

Following that were the warships bearing the coat of arms of the Valerian family, which patrolled the area around the sea.

The commander in charge of the watch is Sea Serpent's younger brother, Wimond Valerian.

After confirming that they were his own people, Baylor then slowly lowered the Glutton's altitude.

"Lord Wimond, how are things in the Kingdom of Women and Dorne?"

Upon seeing Baylor, Weimond first bowed respectfully before speaking, "During your absence, the Kingdom of the Three Daughters and Dorne launched several attacks, but they were all annihilated by the dragons."

"The Kingdom of the Three Daughters has clearly lost patience. They know that once you return, the dragons will once again bombard the Free Trade City-States."

"So yesterday, they sent someone to deliver a letter seeking peace."

With that, Wei Mengde took out the unopened letter, held it with both hands, walked to the side of the ship, and handed it to Prince Baylor, who was riding on the back of the dragon.

Baelor opened the letter, which was full of heartfelt words from the Kingdom of the Three Daughters, saying that they were willing to do everything in their power to help Westeros achieve the true unification of the Seven Kingdoms.

They even provided detailed examples of the supplies provided and the detailed plans.

Among them, the unconditional gift of two thousand Immaculate Ones greatly interested the Prince.

He had heard of the Immaculate Ones back in the City of Learning.

To train such an army, one must begin training them from childhood, undergo rigorous selection and battles, and only then can they join the Unsullied army.

Moreover, the most famous battle was the one between three thousand Unsullied and more than twenty thousand Slark cavalry.

In the end, only six hundred Unsullied remained, while more than twelve thousand of the most valiant Dothraki cavalry perished, forever branding these savage madmen with infamy.

Now, the Kingdom of the Three Daughters is willing to unconditionally give away two thousand Unsullied, as well as countless amounts of money and food as support. This is something that no duke could refuse.

But Baylor was not a duke.

"Your Highness, what did the letter say?" Wei Mengde asked curiously, looking at the prince's calm expression.

Baylor's expression remained unchanged as he smiled and waved his hand, "It's just a trap, not worth worrying about."

"Tell me, where are the sea serpent and Aunt Rhodes?"

Beller's idea was that if this matter could be used properly, it might help them take over the Kingdom of the Three Daughters.

"They're on the Stone Steps Islands," said Wei Mengde. "That's also our command post."

Thank you!

After saying that, he called to the three people behind him, including Renilla, and they flew together towards the Stone Steps Islands.

……

Upon arrival, Beller summoned all the dragon riders who were away back to the command camp, unfolded the letter, and handed it to everyone.

"Everyone, tell me, is the Third Daughter Kingdom's desire for peace genuine?"

Damon, who was closest to the content, couldn't help but laugh out loud after glancing at it briefly.

"My dear nephew, do you believe what's in this letter, or do you believe I've had many illegitimate children outside of our marriage?"

The sea serpent followed closely behind, saying, "Your Highness, this letter is highly suspicious."

"Moreover, the price of these two thousand Unsullied is equivalent to the annual income of an earl."

"How could a cunning and greedy slave owner not know this principle?"

Renis nodded in agreement. "I agree with Damon and Corliss."

"Baelor, we have a blood feud with the Three Kingdoms of Dorne, and we should take advantage of the Targaryens' strongest period to kill them."

Not only them, but even Aegon, who was usually clueless about tactics, felt there was something wrong.

It's very simple. Even the cheapest prostitutes in King's Landing have to pay for a night's stay, let alone the Unsullied who are so expensive.

While listening to everyone's consensus, Baylor had other ideas in mind.

"I think these conditions are acceptable."

"Look, the Third Daughter Kingdom has said that as long as I, as the Crown Prince, agree, they will send a large amount of grain and gold as support."

"Perfect timing. I'm planning to upgrade the dragon's lair in King's Landing, and this amount of money should be enough."

Damon looked at Baylor with a forced smile. He didn't need to think much to know that the kid definitely had something on his mind.

"Sure, would you like your kind uncle to write them a letter for you?"

Baylor smiled and nodded. "Then I'll have to trouble my dear uncle."

Because the two of them were thinking so fast, the others didn't even have time to react, and the decision to agree was made unilaterally.

Of course, this doesn't mean they don't understand the cooperation between the uncle and nephew.

Everyone present knew that Baylor was never one to let himself be taken advantage of.

"Prince, what do you plan to do?" the sea serpent asked first.

Baylor chuckled and tapped the table. "For the bandits of King's Landing, what they steal is always more gratifying than what they earn through labor."

In short, getting something for free is always the best.

If those conditions were available, who would be willing to spend money to buy it?

"Bair, do you intend to go to the Kingdom of the Third Daughter alone to collect their so-called financial aid?"

Renilla didn't deny Beller's idea, but it would be too dangerous for him to go alone.

Moreover, the free trade city-states possessed poisons unknown to them, and a single misstep could lead to their demise.

"Who said I was going alone? Our good uncle is still here, isn't he?"

"If we're going, of course we'll take him with us."
