Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I, we have brought you the first batch of war reparations this time."
The one speaking at this moment was the slightly older, more developed blonde sister, Tissara.
Tissara stammered, either due to a natural stutter or extreme nervousness.
The slightly smaller blonde sister, Serella, who was standing beside her, couldn't bear to watch and immediately interjected, "King Jaehaerys, Father has asked us to extend his warmest greetings to you."
At the same time, because the hateful Ironmen from the Iron Islands have been harassing the coastline of the Westerlands, he has been stationed in Lannisport.
Therefore, he expresses his most sincere apologies for being unable to attend your coronation.
This is not an excuse, and I believe with your ability, you can verify it at any time.
As my sister just said, we have brought you a hundred thousand golden dragons this time, twenty-seven thousand cattle and sheep..."
Serella spoke eloquently below, while Jaehaerys, leaning casually on the Iron Throne, was observing the blonde sisters with great interest, whose personalities and appearances were completely opposite.
The outwardly mature sister was gentle and shy, while the younger sister, who seemed less experienced, was intellectual and generous.
Hmm, based on the experience gained from verifying Baela, perhaps even the private parts of this pair of blonde sisters are golden.
Heh heh, when the time comes, I want to collect all the different color schemes from both continents in my harem.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
The two House Lannister ladies are still waiting for your answer."
Just as Jaehaerys was lost in thought due to the awakening of some strange collecting habit, Baela, who was standing to the left of the Iron Throne, gently woke him up.
Coming back to his senses, Jaehaerys saw Serella, who had finished reporting, looking at him expectantly.
He smiled slightly and replied, "Uh, I'm sorry, I was just thinking about how to raise funds for the reconstruction of the Dragon Gate."
Beautiful Lady Serella, could you please repeat your request?"
"Your Majesty is constantly worrying about state affairs, which is truly a blessing for the people of the Seven Kingdoms.
I heard that Ser Lorien offended you in the court before, which is truly a heinous crime.
I wonder if you could allow us to send him back to Casterly Rock so that Father can severely punish him!"
"Ser Lorien? Who is that?"
Jaehaerys never paid attention to insignificant small figures, and upon hearing this unfamiliar name, he immediately frowned.
Stone, who was standing to the right of the Iron Throne, immediately lowered his voice and reminded him, "Your Majesty, Ser Lorien is the messenger from the Westerlands who was previously amputated."
"Oh~ I remember now."
He's that good-looking blonde knight! It's a pity, he's just a bit short.
Stone, have someone invite him over!"
Hearing Stone's reminder, Jaehaerys immediately had a look of sudden realization.
The blonde sisters at the foot of the Iron Throne stairs exchanged bewildered glances upon hearing this.
Short?
Ser Lorien was a cousin they were relatively familiar with, a handsome and dashing young knight who was six feet tall (about 1.83 meters).
These past few years, he had charmed many young girls in Casterly Rock and Lannisport.
After Stone took his leave, the Throne Room fell into a brief silence.
Baela seemed a little jealous because Jaehaerys had been staring blankly at the blonde sisters just now. She leaned over and whispered, "Jie, these two House Lannister girls are pretty good, aren't they?
You should understand Duke Jason's meaning, what do you think, which one are you going to choose?
Do you want me to help you consider?"
Jaehaerys's mouth curved into a smile upon hearing this, and he replied, "Choose what? I want both of them!"
Hmph!
Baela rolled her eyes upon hearing this, let out a light snort, and stood up straight, no longer paying attention to Jaehaerys.
"No matter how many beautiful vases there are, they are just decorations, and you are the only true dragon queen who can fight alongside me!"
Seeing that Baela seemed genuinely a little angry, Jaehaerys stopped teasing her and softly spoke his true feelings.
Baela's face immediately lit up with joy upon hearing this, but then she replied with a worried look, "Alas, Moondancer doesn't know how much longer it will be before she can carry me in flight."
"Believe me, it won't be long.
I have already tried to match the most effective dragon feed to speed up their growth."
"Feed?"
Upon hearing this novel word, Baela immediately turned to look at Jaehaerys, waiting for his explanation.
"Hmm, after my experiments during this period, I found that dragons are actually omnivores.
In addition to cattle, sheep, and fish, they will eat any plants or animals that contain high protein, high calories, and high nutrition.
I have formulated different types of feed and had the Dragon Guard feed the young dragons regularly.
In a few more days, we can distinguish which feed is most suitable for them based on their growth rate."
Jaehaerys's string of unfamiliar words left Baela completely bewildered.
In the end, he could only summarize it in a simple sentence,
"In short, based on Moondancer's current size, it is estimated that you will be able to experience the feeling of riding a dragon and flying in three to four months!"
"Really? Jie, you're amazing!
There's nothing you can't do!"
Upon hearing this, Baela immediately praised Jaehaerys loudly with a face full of pleasant surprise.
Because according to the Dragon Guard's previous estimates, Moondancer would not reach the size for carrying people in flight until next year at the earliest.
Da da da!
The Red Keep dungeon was not far from the Throne Room.
Just as Jaehaerys and the other person were chatting excitedly, Lucerys, who had not been announced, rushed into the Throne Room.
Seeing Lucerys so reckless, Jaehaerys immediately frowned.
This younger brother of his was sensible and polite; he wouldn't be so Gaffe unless it was an emergency.
"Brother, I just received a letter from Rhaenyra.
Mi Jie Island has sent an urgent request for help to Driftmark; they are being attacked by the Joint Fleet of Lys and Volantis.
Rudy and his Unsullied are also on the island."
In his haste, Lucerys directly addressed Jaehaerys as brother.
Crack!
Upon hearing the news Lucerys brought, Jaehaerys slammed his hand heavily on the armrest of the Iron Throne.
With the strength and defense bonus from Dragon Power, he directly broke off a protruding sword tip from the armrest.
"I was originally planning to find trouble with them after I had completely controlled the Seven Kingdoms.
Since they've come looking for death, I'll grant their wish!"
Jaehaerys, who suddenly stood up, simultaneously transmitted a thought to Womax as he spoke.
Roar~~
A loud dragon roar echoed throughout the entire Red Keep, scaring the blonde sisters, who had never heard a dragon roar before, to cover their ears in terror.
As Jaehaerys stood up and walked down the steps of the Iron Throne, Ser Dario, who was following behind him, waved his hand to the side.
Attendants, each holding pieces of armor, immediately surged forward to quickly arm Jaehaerys.
"Brother, I'll go with you!"
Lucerys, who was sweating profusely from rushing all the way, stepped forward and volunteered.
Jaehaerys shook his head upon hearing this and said to him, "You just need to take good care of these two Lannister ladies; wait for my triumphant return!"
After a while, a large group of people led by Jaehaerys arrived at the Royal Garden.
Whoosh, whoosh!
When Jaehaerys, who was already armed, climbed onto Womax's saddle via a rope ladder, two sounds of dragon wings cutting through the air came from the sky.
It turned out that Silverwing and Seasmoke, hearing Womax's summons, had flown from the Dragonpit to the Red Keep.
They, along with Sunfyre, were specifically instructed by Jaehaerys to the Dragon Guard that they could move freely in the Dragonpit and did not need to be confined to their nests.
With a thought, Womax directly flapped his wings and ascended into the sky.
The blonde sisters mixed in the crowd were now stunned speechless by the scene of three dragons flying in the sky, which they were seeing for the first time in their lives.
But after reacting, both of them looked at the dragon rider on the back of the largest ink-colored dragon with extremely adoring starry eyes.
After all, every girl in the Seven Kingdoms had once dreamed of her man being a handsome dragon rider who rode dragons of various colors.
Knowing the urgency of the situation, Jaehaerys had already entered combat mode. He didn't have time to turn around and greet Baela and the others now.
He directly controlled Womax to fly through the clouds to the high altitude, identified the direction, and flew in a straight line at the fastest speed.
After undergoing three cocoon-breaking transformations, Womax's stamina and flying speed were much stronger than before.
In just half a day, this one person and three dragons flew from King's Landing to the waters of the Stepstones.
Jaehaerys naturally couldn't be sleeping during the flight; he had been thinking about whether there were other conspiracies behind this battle.
When he returned to the Seven Kingdoms heading north, Mi Jie Island only left nearly a hundred Valyrian soldiers to guard the island.
This force, plus the island's defensive facilities, would certainly not be enough for ordinary pirates to capture it.
But it could definitely not withstand the combined fleet of Lys and Volantis.
And these two Free Cities had quite a few spies in King's Landing, who could roughly understand the situation of the Blood Dragon Dance.
Jaehaerys was unable to attend to everything at that time, which was actually the best opportunity for Lys and Volantis to annex the Stepstones.
But they didn't make a move and waited until now to act.
Why is this? What are they waiting for?
Furthermore, they were able to accurately surround Rudy on Mi Jie Island, which indicates that they had long known Rudy's route.
And returning from Slaver's Bay to the Stepstones would definitely pass near the waters of Lys; they could have acted there.
Surround the point and strike the reinforcements!
These four words immediately popped into Jaehaerys's mind.
The opponent's real goal is very likely on himself, the reinforcement.
You want to ambush me, then I'll let you ambush me!
As soon as he approached Mi Jie Island, Jaehaerys directly controlled Womax to break through the clouds and descend from the sky.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Clang clang clang!
Thick and long crossbow bolts, accompanied by whistling sounds cutting through the air, shot towards Womax.
But they couldn't break through his ink-colored dragon scales, only emitting a series of pleasant crisp sounds.
Whoosh, whoosh!
And when the ballistae of the Lys and Volantis fleet fell silent, Silverwing and Seasmoke took the opportunity to dive.
Hoo hoo hoo!
On the sea surface around Mi Jie Island, three massive creatures spewed dragonflame of various colors, turning one warship after another, of different sizes, into scorching fireballs.
Soldiers of Lys and Volantis were either burned to charcoal or jumped into the sea to survive.
About a kilometer away from where the three dragons were wreaking havoc, there was an inconspicuous small Volantis warship.
Inside the cabin of the small warship, a red-robed pregnant woman, still attractive and with a proud figure, was in a position of impending childbirth, crying out in pain.
Along with the cries, her enormous pregnant belly began to show strange bulges, as if something terrifying was brewing.
Hiss!
As a roar that was definitely not human sounded, a twisted black shadow was born from beneath the red-robed pregnant woman.
A breeze, from who knows where, blew into the cabin, and this black shadow dispersed like a black mist.
Then, it quietly attacked the dragon rider on the back of the ink-colored dragon in the sky!
