Chapter 57: Velaryon's Provocation

The next day.

Driftmark island, Hulltown.

The naming day celebration of "Uncrowned Queen" Rhaenys Targaryen was held as scheduled. Many nobles came by boat and took the opportunity to show goodwill to the Velaryon family.

At this moment, outside the port of Hulltown.

"Hiss!"

A golden dragon spread its wings and soared, rising higher and higher along the sea level.

A three-masted sailing ship with a three-headed red dragon flag was sailing slowly, and the ramming horns cast in the shape of golden dragon heads were riding the wind and waves.

"Dragon!"

Many merchants from the Free Trade Cities screamed with excitement and fear when they saw the golden dragon.

When they saw the royal ship escorted by the dragon, they realized that the Targaryen family had appeared.

"Ugh~~"

On the deck, Viserys lay on the railing and couldn't stop vomiting.

The king of a country, the last driver of "Black Death" Balerion, actually got seasick.

Prime Minister Lyonel stood beside him, silently took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to the pale king.

"Thank you."

Viserys was very weak, and he took the handkerchief and wiped his mouth.

Lyonel said nothing, and watched the king return to the cabin to rest.

This trip will not end well, and difficulties are still ahead.

If the king can't hold on, the royal family will lose face.

Half an hour later.

The royal ship entered the port, and the sailors worked hard to carry the gifts.

Viserys pushed away his wife's hand and walked down the deck alone.

As a king, he must not show his weak side.

"Hiss!"

Syrax hovered above his head and let out a loud roar.

Viserys glanced and nodded secretly.

His younger brother Daemon rejected the kindness.

Daughter Rhaenyra became the only card that the royal family could show.

Although Syrax was still a little dragon, it was enough to deter prying eyes and maintain the dignity of the royal family.

"Hiss!!"

Suddenly, a second dragon roar came from the air, releasing undisguised hostility.

In the clouds in the distance, a light silver dragon rushed out and rushed straight to Syrax.

Syrax was caught off guard, and by the time he reacted, the dragon had already rushed to him.

Boom!

The light silver dragon was extremely fast, brushing past it and whistling, sweeping up the sharp sea breeze.

"Hiss!"

Syrax was startled, flapping his wings back and forth, and almost lost his balance.

"Don't be afraid, Syrax!"

Rhaenyra's face was livid, and she hurried to calm the dragon's restlessness.

The light silver dragon turned around and returned, fortunately it no longer launched an invasion.

A silver-haired young man rode the dragon, showing an apologetic look and shouted: "I'm sorry, Princess. Sea Smoke has a strong sense of territory, and I offended you."

He has a handsome appearance, a hooked nose, and standard Valyrian blood silver hair and purple eyes.

There is a gentleness hidden between his eyebrows.

The first impression he gives people is a bit... beautiful.

How could Rhaenyra believe his nonsense? Her cold face seemed to be full of coldness.

"I will apologize to you, I promise."

Laenor avoided his sight, unwilling to cause a direct conflict, and flew away on the giant dragon Sea Smoke.

At the port.

Viserys looked up and witnessed the incident with his own eyes.

"This is simply an attack, it's treason!"

Lyonel was excited and gnashed his teeth in hatred.

As a loyal minister of the royal family, he firmly believed in the principle that the master who humiliates the minister should die. Alicent looked surprised, and she didn't expect the Velaryon family to be so domineering and challenge the royal authority in public.

"Viserys..."

Looking at Rhaenyra in the air, she wanted to say something.

"Okay, let's go."

Viserys waved his hand to interrupt, his face terribly gloomy.

The current royal family obviously does not have the powerful strength comparable to the Velaryon family.

Be patient and see what the sea snake Corliss means.

A white-painted palace pulled by six horses came running, carrying the royal family members to the Climax City.

In the air.

Rhaenyra was full of frustration. She comforted the frightened Syrax, and her indignation was beyond words.

The two sides were not only different in family power.

Even the tamed dragons were different.

Among the four generations of dragons, Sea Smoke was hatched from the Dragon Mountain on Dragonstone Island, and was tamed by the equally young Laenor when she was a young dragon.

A few years ago, she participated in the Stone Steps Islands War with the sea snake Corliss. She has developed rich combat experience.

Syrax was hatched from a dragon egg in the cradle. She is a few years younger than Sea Smoke and has never participated in any battle.

In terms of size alone, Syrax, who is more than ten meters, is two circles smaller than Sea Smoke, who is more than twenty meters tall.

It is not its opponent at all.

"The Velaryon family is ambitious."

Rhaenyra clenched her pink fist and subconsciously looked in the direction of Dragonstone Island.

Aemon left for two days and two nights, and no news has been sent back so far.

He had found an excuse to cover up his dragon-taming plan, but the truth could not be hidden.

He had to be present for today's occasion.

...

It was noon, and the sun was shining brightly.

High Tide City.

The stone castle built on the cliff by the sea, with a large tree in the simple front yard with swaying green leaves, looked as vibrant as the current Velaryon family.

The white wheel palace crossed the bluestone pavement outside the castle where the tide was surging, and stopped at the entrance of the front yard where people were noisy.

Viserys walked out of the car and led his entourage into the house.

Rhaenyra settled Syrax and followed behind her father.

In the front yard, nobles and wealthy merchants from all over the country gathered, and the atmosphere was lively.

The moment the king arrived, the voice stopped abruptly.

Viserys' eyes flickered, and he stood at the door waiting to greet him.

Lyonel took the lead, looked around, and asked, "Where is Lord Corliss, he should greet His Majesty?"

Boom!

The castle gate opened wide, and two figures slowly walked out.

One of them looked 70% similar to the sea snake Corliss, and was also tall, but his expression was more arrogant.

The other was still young, a handsome blond youth of the same age as Laenor.

Seeing the arrival of the people, Lyonel was furious and stepped forward: "Lord Weymond, what does this mean?"

In front of everyone, he raised his voice: "Is this how the Velaryon family welcomes the king?" It was simply treasonous.

Weymond walked two meters away and stopped, nodded to apologize, and said calmly: "My brother just returned home after a long journey and is waiting for you in the Nine Flights Hall."

Facing the king with such an attitude, it was already quite rude.

Lyonel's face flushed and he was about to get angry.

Viserys stretched out his hand to block him behind him, and shook his head to indicate not to make trouble.

Lyonel stopped talking immediately, but he was still angry.

Even if the sea snake Corliss did not greet him personally, his wife Princess Rhaenys and his two children should send one person.

Not just one brother.

But the king was patient, so he couldn't take over.

The group suppressed their emotions and walked in.

"Get out of the way, kid!"

Harold, the commander of the Iron Guard, looked ugly, pushed the blind guy away, and vented his temper.

The Hall of the Castle.

Corliss stood in front of the window, looking down at the king's family entering the door, his eyes were deep and terrifying.

The king was indeed weak, but he was also an extremely difficult master of pretending to be confused.

"How long can you endure it?"

Corliss raised his head slightly and muttered to himself: "No one can remain indifferent when it comes to children's affairs."
