Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

This has even created a unique scene within the academic city: a group of gray-haired PhDs with their apprentices engrossed in reading materials in the library.

The Citadel had a vast collection of books, and the scholars were eager to learn, but unfortunately, after searching through all the records, they could not find any information about this unique script.

However, I did find a record about the Valyrian high nobility in a book written by someone from over a thousand years ago.

The origins of the Valyrian high nobility are unknown; no one knows how this people suddenly rose to power or why they suddenly found a way to control dragons.

Moreover, this 'dragon-taming technique' seems to exist only among the oldest nobles, whose bloodlines can resonate with dragons.

The author of this book speculates that there must be some unspeakable secret hidden among these Valyrian high nobles, a secret that might reveal why they are able to control dragons.

Based on the records in this book, a scholar boldly speculated that this might be a unique way of communication among the oldest nobles in Valyria, a special kind of script.

He was willing to name it 'Mora' after himself, but unfortunately, he was forcibly stopped by the other PhD students.

Stannis noted in Viserys's mysterious notebook that he suspected it was written by the First Men.

A girl with long brown hair, dressed in a gorgeous plain dress and wearing a golden crown, was bathed in the sunlight on the windowsill. She slightly raised her delicate chin and held the book in her fair hands, reading with great interest.

She had just finished dealing with some military affairs today; another batch of provisions and supplies had been shipped from Pentos and arrived at Dragonstone.

Although the Targaryen army did not immediately attack King's Landing after occupying Dragonstone, they temporarily cooperated against the White Walkers.

But Renis didn't stop during this time; instead, she worked tirelessly to build a military transport route from Pentos to Dragonstone.

Thanks to the frequent trade between the two places, this route is the most frequent main trade route between Westeros and Essos, and building a supply channel is not very difficult.

Renis also received a letter from her uncle today. Oberyn's Second Legion has arrived at the port of Pentos and is ready to board ships to leave Pentos for Westeros. They may already be on their way.

And at this time.

A series of hurried footsteps came from outside the study in the castle. An Unsullied soldier standing outside the study door stopped them, then pushed the door open and came in to report.

"Your Highness."

It turned out to be Misty Toyn, the leader of the Golden Company. The Golden Company soldiers caught nine spies on the beach of Dragonstone who were sneaking up on Dragonstone in small boats.

They were wearing tattered clothes, soaked by seawater. After drying slightly, the clothes were tangled together and covered with a thin layer of salt crystals. They were all emaciated and pale, with messy hair that looked like bird nests.

Their small boat was so small that it evaded the Dragonstone fleet's patrols. However, when they approached Dragonstone, the boat accidentally ran aground and started to leak, and all the people on board were submerged in the sea.

Then they were forced to abandon the small boat and jump into the sea to swim towards the shore, which was not far away. Fortunately, they were all lucky and managed to swim to the shore, where they collapsed on the beach, barely alive.

However, their good luck ran out when a patrol of Gold Regiment soldiers found them and took them to their commander.

After confirming their identities, Mistoine took one of them to the castle on Dragonstone to meet Her Highness the Princess.

"spy?"

The girl, bathed in sunlight by the window, heard Mistoin's words and slightly put down her book, her beautiful eyes looking over.

This is the second spy incident in recent times. The last one involved someone claiming to be a representative of the Lannister family who tried to persuade the Golden Company to betray the Targaryens, directly taking Reyne hostage and threatening Viserys to withdraw his troops.

However, what this Lannister representative was unaware of was that Dragonstone Castle was heavily guarded, easy to defend and difficult to attack, with two thousand Unsullied guards serving as Princess Renesas's private guard, making it virtually impregnable.

Even if ten thousand soldiers of the Golden Company betrayed them, it would be extremely difficult to storm Dragonstone Castle. Moreover, Renis had the help of dragons, so even if the battle went badly, she could always escape on a dragon.

Therefore, the Lannister family's schemes were fundamentally impossible to execute.

And this 'spy' brought here by Mistoin...

Renis blinked. The other person was not tall, seemingly only the size of a small child. His legs were short and thick, and his face was not particularly handsome. His eyes were one black and one blue, and what was most striking was his disproportionately large head.

The brown-haired girl sat in her seat, the golden crown on her head reflecting a faint light, and then couldn't help but blurt out.

Why is your head so big?

Chapter 426 Tyrion's Price

As soon as Reines finished speaking, the person opposite her looked slightly embarrassed.

Then, after Misty Toyn's explanation, they learned that the short dwarf in front of them was the infamous 'Tyrion' of House Lannister.

It is said that the other party visited all the brothels in the seven kingdoms, although these rumors are exaggerated.

But it is common knowledge that Tyrion Lannister, the Imp, is not well-liked.

Tyrion is sharp-tongued and merciless, and he likes to use the Lannister family name to intimidate people. This may be related to his unique upbringing, but the Imp's reputation is not very good, to the point that even Mis Thoth had heard of him.

As Reines listened to Mistoine's explanation, her beautiful eyes gleamed slightly. Her seemingly quirky words were actually for another purpose.

But when she heard that the other person was a Lannister, the girl's gaze immediately turned dangerous.

She had known since she was very young that the Lannisters had the blood of their loved ones on their hands.

Although Renis has forgotten what her father, mother, and brother used to look like, she has not forgotten this hatred.

"Kill them."

Renis frowned slightly, but then didn't ask any more questions and spoke directly.

However, Reyne's words terrified Tyrion, who was standing opposite her.

He escaped death in the cellars of Carlin Bay, not to be sent to Dragonstone and beheaded.

In fact, if he had a choice, he wouldn't want to come here with those people either, but unfortunately, he had no say in their group. Since they were coming to find Viserys, he had no choice but to obediently follow them in order to save his life.

However, Tyrion's striking appearance makes him almost the most recognizable person in the Seven Kingdoms. Wherever he goes, he is immediately noticed, and this time was no exception.

Although Banyan, Elisa Thorne, and Yuren were also temporarily detained, they were given good food and drink, a change of clothes, and a bath.

Only Tyrion was brought over, and before the other party could say much, a single, casual remark was enough to sever his head.

"Your Highness!"

"Your Highness!"

"Please wait a moment!"

Upon hearing that Renis was about to kill him at the slightest provocation, Tyrion was terrified and couldn't help but scream.

"Your Highness, could you please listen to me for a moment?"

"Just say one sentence, and then it's up to you whether you want to be beheaded or hanged."

Tyrion's tone was urgent; he was racking his brains to save his life.

Renis's brows furrowed slightly upon hearing his words, but she nodded gently and spoke softly.

"can."

It would be reasonable to let him say one last thing before he dies, but Renis later added.

“But Tyrion, remember, there’s only one sentence to change my mind.”

Tyrion breathed a huge sigh of relief upon hearing this. Although it was just a sentence, as long as he could still speak, he still had a chance to survive.

Tyrion's greatest fear was someone who came up to him without saying a word, with the clear intention of killing him.

For example, his biological father, Tywin Lannister.

Their objective was very clear: without any warning or communication, they suddenly had Tyrion captured and tied up in the cellar, hoping he would die at the hands of the White Walkers.

“My biological father tried to kill me, but he failed.”

Tyrion pondered for a moment, finally coming up with the most suitable words, and then took a deep breath and spoke.

And as expected, his words caught Reines's attention.

The girl was prepared to order him hanged after hearing his last words, but she didn't expect Tyrion to say something like that.

She thought Tyrion would burst into tears and beg for mercy... but he didn't do that.

Why did your father kill you?

Renis couldn't help but ask.

She knew, of course, that the murderer of her family was not Tyrion, but his father Tywin Lannister, who was just a child at the time.

When Tyrion heard Reyne continue asking questions following his lead, most of his earlier anxiety dissipated, and he completely relaxed.

The fact that this princess is willing to listen means there's hope.

Tyrion was very clever; even when he was being escorted here, he subtly and overtly found out who the important person he was to meet was.

Tyrion himself knew a great deal about the Targaryen family across the Narrow Sea, as he had once considered them his greatest adversary, and he knew they would never let the Lannisters go.

But now Tyrion realizes how ridiculous his thinking was back then.

The enemy least likely to let them go was willing to listen to his explanation, while his own father remained silent and simply tied him up, attempting to use the White Walkers to get rid of him, and even gain some reputation through his own corpse.

"Because I was born a damn dwarf!"

Tyrion answered decisively.

"I was born and caused my mother's death, I am a disgrace to my family... and maybe there are many more bullshit reasons!"

The imp, his hands tightly bound, took two steps in front of Renis, but his gaze swept around the room. Not seeing his beloved wine, he sighed regretfully.

When discussing this kind of topic, a pot of wine is a must.

Meanwhile, the Unsullied soldier standing in the study looked at Tyrion and spoke in a cold tone.

"Be mindful of your tone when speaking to Her Highness the Princess."

"clear."

Tyrion immediately raised his bound hands slightly and shrugged at the Unsullied soldier to indicate that he understood.

"That's why my father wanted to feed me to the White Walkers, to make me a walking corpse."

"It not only avenged my mother, but also eliminated the shame that had brought disgrace to the family."

"Killing two birds with one stone."

“My father just liked doing things like that.”

"If Your Highness does not believe me, you can inquire around. If I'm not mistaken, news of my death is already circulating in many places throughout the Seven Kingdoms."

"The story of the Lannister heir, the future Duke of Casterly Rock, a 'half-man' only three or four feet tall, who fought to the death on the battlefield of Carin Bay."

"The Lannister family is truly a family of loyal martyrs."

Tyrion spoke with a hint of sarcasm.

Upon hearing his words, Reines turned her head slightly to look at Mistoin, and the leader of the Golden Company nodded slightly as well.
