Chapter 23

But the young dragons were too scared to approach Androw because of the Cannibal. These dragons had never appeared in the series because the Cannibal had been feeding on them. Meanwhile, Baal was completely pissed off by Androw stopping him from having food. He didn't want to hurt his rider, so he moved back and lay down with a puff of smoke leaking from his mouth.

Androw approached the dragons slowly and touched their heads as they curiously approached him. The dragons started to sniff Androw as he formed a mental connection with them. One thing that mattered to him was that all these dragons were male. He wanted female dragons in his roster as well but had found none so far.

Now that Androw was closer to the young ones, he could clearly see their features. Both of them had a pair of horns. One of them had a light cream shade, while the other had a blue shade that attracted him. Androw scratched their heads, playing with them as he gave thought to their names.

He smiled, thinking aloud, "You, with the light cream scales, I shall call you Ivory. And you, with the blue, you'll be Azure."

The young dragons responded to their names with gentle growls and nuzzles.

Rhaena sat with her friends Cassella Staunton, Septa Maryam, Alayne Royce, Samantha Stokeworth, and young Lianna Velaryon. The hall was silent, the atmosphere tense. Moments ago, Rhaena and her daughter Aerea had quarreled about Rhaena's decision to send her men to bring Aerea back to Dragonstone. It had not been a pleasant argument, and no one wanted to worsen the already strained mood.

The silence was broken by one of the servant maids who entered and said, "Princess, Lord Consort Androw has arrived."

Rhaena's mood, already foul, darkened further. Without saying anything, she abruptly got up from her seat, startling her companions. She walked outside, her anger simmering just beneath the surface, ready to be unleashed on Androw.

Meanwhile, Androw arrived atop the hills of Dragonstone on Baal. He dismounted and casually walked over to the second entrance while Baal laid down, watching over the landscape. Androw had left King's Landing for Dragonstone under the guise of family duty, but he needed to ensure his true intentions remained hidden. He held one hand on the guard of his sword as he approached the entrance.

Waiting for him was Alyn Bullock, the son of the former Commander of the castle. Alyn smiled warmly as Androw approached, but Androw was momentarily taken aback. He hadn't been in Dragonstone for a long time and was unfamiliar with the young man before him.

Alyn gave a respectful bow as Androw passed, but as Androw walked by, Alyn's words made him stop in his tracks. "How long will it take?"

Androw didn't turn around immediately. He stood still, processing the question. After a moment of silence, he replied, "I lost it."

Alyn's response was immediate and calm, "I could arrange another."

Androw's heart raced, but he maintained his composure. This was his first clue. He turned slightly to glance at Alyn. "Make sure it's discreet."

Alyn nodded, with understanding. "Of course, my lord. It will be done.".

I know you guys are all confused by the ending, so here is a little introduction. As you all know, Androw is just a useless idiot based on the original. But the assassination he carried out wasn't something he could come up with on his own, nor is he smart enough to begin with. Androw has never been a man with social connections or money to afford an expensive poison that is only used by professional assassins. Every step he took in the assassination seems to have been planned. However, there is a catch: he is the scapegoat in the end, which doesn't seem to be his own idea. There is a great master plan behind all of this. So, keep waiting for Androw to find out who the enemy is that was planning to use him or exploit his resentment towards Rhaena.

There won't be any chapters for the next two days as I won't be at home. However, if you're curious about the culprit, you can access another chapter on my Patreon.
