Ice and Fire: Reign of the Dragon.

Chapter 301 Return
180 years of the Conquest calendar.

Frontier land, wine port.

The "Explorer", with its hull badly damaged, ended its long journey and slowly sailed into the port.

The dark green Sendroth took the lead and crashed into the Kongyi that flew up to greet it. Jakaris's long-thorn dragon let out a sharp cry and rushed into the dark green antler dragon. The two dragons with slightly different sizes collided in the air, but there was no fight. The two dragons that had been fighting each other in their childhood were now not so angry.

Burntfire landed on the beach nearby and lazily basked in the sun with its tentacles. Moondancer was a little restrained. As a wild dragon, it was almost tied all the way back to Westeros by Burntfire and Centros.

But the closer they got to Westeros, the more Moondancer relaxed she became.

"Kong Yi may be missing Senderos?" Jakaris smiled bitterly, opened his arms, and hugged Dan, who looked tired. "Never mind them, I miss you anyway."

Silver Wing was lying on the mountain next to the port, it was already an old dragon. Although among the dragons, Silver Wing, like Dream Fire, was not a large dragon, its age was there after all, and it lived more comfortably. Now Silver Wing was just lying on the mountain, and from a distance, its body was astonishingly huge. Its wings drooped, casting a thick shadow on the church and warehouse in the port. Its long tail went around the mountains on both sides of the port, trying to avoid the residential areas.

"Valenna is here too?" Dan looked at Silver Wing, somewhat surprised.

Jacaerys nodded. "Of course, Valenna has had a hard time these past few years. After all, Damion has grown into a big boy. Oh, hell, who would have thought that Damion, who was so well-behaved when he was a child, would be like this now."

Dan's eyes suddenly became sharp: "Why, this kid is not obedient?"

"It's true... It's hard to say. Let's talk about more things when we get home. Father has been waiting for you for a long time." Jacaris didn't say much, just nodded to his brother.

"Uncle Jacaerys."

Baylor had grown up, too. Compared to when he set out a few years ago, he was much taller, his arm muscles had become stronger, and his face had lost some of its childishness.

"Beile has grown up too." Jacaris smiled and stroked Beile's short hair that he had shaved for convenience. "Come on, go home with your uncle. Your grandfather has prepared a feast for you."

The past two years have not been very peaceful for the royal family and the Varese family.

Longzel resigned all titles except the title of Royal Prince and handed them over to his eldest son Lingol, but everyone knew that Vareses' decision-making power still depended on Longzel's final judgment.

The children who grew up in the Purple Palace finally took over the territory of their parents and continued their era.

Jacaerys was stationed in Tyrosh and helped the city belonging to the Vareses family to regain its vitality. After the new city council election, Jacaerys rode on Kongyi and left the resurrected city-state and returned to Dragon's Nest.

For the descendants of the three Longzel brothers, only Dragon Nest City is their most secure home.

Compared to the peaceful transition of the Varese family, the royal family was strangely unstable.

After Aegon ascended the throne, he was quite diligent. He quickly integrated the power of the kingdom and governed King's Landing in an orderly manner. In the first year after he ascended the throne, the treasury's revenue even soared by 30%, all of which was attributed to Aegon leading the Royal Council to reorganize the customs and royal mint that had been in chaos due to Daeron's absence as the monarch.

The Royal Council redistributed the seats, Herman Pole, Earl Roland Clinton and Earl Stokeworth continued to hold their original positions, Earl Andrew Farman resigned and returned to the Westerly, and the elderly Earl Joffrey Velaryon replaced him as the Sea Lord. Earl Lucas Rostam, who had been absent from his post for many years, also arrived in King's Landing with his family.

Count Lucas Rostand had been having bad luck recently. His eldest son choked on the melted cream while enjoying a piece of cream cake. When the bachelor arrived, he had already suffocated himself to death. Before the pain of losing his eldest son was over, his wife also died in bed due to dystocia.

This caused some fear to this old friend of Aegon.

He thought of the Curse of Harrenhal.

I remembered what happened to the Strong family.

Even after leaving Harrenhal, the Strong family in Dunstonbury was now sparsely populated and extremely pitiful. So after learning that the situation had stabilized, the terrified Lucas Rothstein immediately returned to his post as chief intelligence officer with his family.

With him came the bastards that Aegon had left behind at Harrenhal.

In addition to these people, Aegon's three older illegitimate sons also entered the Royal Council and served as deputies to several ministers. His illegitimate son Harry Flowers in Oldtown served as the treasurer, and his illegitimate son Titus Flowers, born to a girl from the Crane family in Red Lake, put on a white robe and joined the Kingsguard. Garin Rivers, the son of a girl from the Darry family, continued his previous mission - as Lucas's deputy, collecting intelligence for the kingdom.

The conquered land was also divided again, with Lake Mill as the dividing line, and two more dukes were added to the entire conquered land.

The Bol family, the Reyes family.

Everything is going smooth.

The only thing that went wrong was that Queen Rhaena did not live with the king. She took the heir to the Iron Throne away from the court in King's Landing, first living in the Black Palace for a year, and then moving to Dragonstone. In short, she was unwilling to mix with the king.

This caused strange voices to appear in the court of King's Landing. In addition to Rhaena, Aerion and Maegon's alienation from the king seemed to prove this point.

The king seemed isolated from his family.

Red Fort, Conference Hall.

Aegon seemed to be a little fatter than the previous few days, perhaps due to lack of exercise, or perhaps because he ate too well - the princes of the conquered territories provided the royal family with more abundant spices, making the royal banquets more colorful.

It also made Aegon's belly swell bigger day by day.

"Harry, Galen, sit down."

Aegon looked at his two illegitimate sons kindly, and liked them more and more. They were really capable. Harry almost sidelined the Earl of Stokeworth, allowing Aegon to know the situation of the treasury clearly, and Garin also made the royal intelligence network more efficient than ever before.

The two young men sat obediently in seats that did not belong to them.

"I have said it many times. You have my blood in your veins. No matter what, the royal blood is naturally noble. I am your father and I am your supporter. There is no need to be so restrained in front of your father."

Aegon smiled and waved his hand, indicating that the two bastards did not need to be so restrained. There were no outsiders here. The king even dismissed the servants and wine waiters.

"Your Majesty, the ravens from the Stepstones say that His Royal Highness Dan Vareses has returned, along with Prince Baylor."

Aegon nodded. He was not worried about the impact of Baelor's return. He just needed to pay attention to the actions of the Varese family. "I see. What about the other things? What is the situation with the two children around Daemon? After more than a year of investigation, have you found out?"

Galen shook his head.

"The mother of the two children has passed away, and they can't say who they are descendants of. We can only know from their mother's words that it was a silver-haired dragon king. Considering that their mother once lived in the Borderlands and Tyrosh, it is inferred that they may be the children of Prince Jacaerys. However, Prince Jacaerys has never been promiscuous. Lady Helena has always had a good relationship with him, and they have many children."

The illegitimate child did not continue.

Aegon changed the subject awkwardly: "Forget it, no matter whose children they are, they won't lead Daemon astray."

"That won't happen, Your Majesty, but Princess Diana has made some unusual moves recently. She plans to buy a ship and has already purchased several sets of armor."

Aegon had no reaction: "Let her be."

"Understood, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, a wedding gift to Princess Daenerys and Basilone Stark," Harry inquired.

"Prepare for it in a grand manner." Aegon sighed and said, "Write to Aerion and Maegon and ask them to bring their children here. The royal family must be united at this time."

"Yes, Your Majesty."
