boom--
A huge bronze dragon soared past, blocking out the sun's rays and sweeping away the green leaves.
Many people saw the dragon, coming out of the building.
"It's the prince!"
"His Royal Highness, and his dragon."
"..."
Everyone was talking, and they changed from fear of the dragon to proud worship.
After a long time, the bronze dragon fell outside the city.
Aemon climbed off the dragon's back and smiled as he looked at his familiar home.
No matter how hard his uncle tried to persuade him to stay, he couldn't stop him from returning.
Alison and Rhaenyra's relationship broke down, and they almost got into a fight by their hair.
They all want to possess him and make him take sides.
Seeing that the Black Party and the Green Party were about to take shape, he had to hurry up and build cities and towns to carve out a foundation for independence.
In this way, a third-party force can enter the market and exert a suppressive force again.
"Valley, your prince is back!"
Aemon raised his chin, suddenly sick.
"roar!"
Wormisor's eyes were straight and indifferent, a dull growl came from deep in his throat, and he approached the driver like a debt collector.
A flight of two fat sheep, no credit required.
Aemon's smile disappeared and he cursed: "You are so good, you have no dignity at all."
Wormisor turned a deaf ear and punched his nose gently, resting his chin on the grass slope while waiting for the meal.
That's called an arrogant attitude.
Seeing this, Aemon took a deep breath and accepted his fate.
Wormisole had a bad temper and ended up staying with him for several years.
Besides, people don't eat for free.
The more meat you eat, the more your body will grow.
It has grown a full circle compared to the size when it was tamed, taking a big step towards the shackles of ninety meters.
Catching up with Vhagar is just around the corner.
"Prince!..."
The escort team arrived quickly.
Eamonn scanned the crowd and asked White Knight Steve: "Is mom at home?"
"Mrs. Leia received your letter yesterday and has been waiting for you."
With a look of joy on his face, Steve led the prince into the castle gate.
After staying in the valley for four full years, he had almost forgotten his identity as a white knight.
We can only hope that His Highness the Prince will come of age soon so that he can return to King's Landing.
Aemon chatted with everyone while walking, and he did not forget to remind the dragon-hunting people stationed in Runestone City to feed the dragon.
…
In the spacious hall.
Eamonn got his wish to see his mother and spoke his inner thoughts cautiously.
"Are you looking for a piece of territory?"
Madam Leia raised her eyebrows and sneered, "You can't live in Runestone City, so you'd better stay in Junlin."
She was dissatisfied with her son's permanent presence in King's Landing.
What's the use?
In the end, he didn't return to the valley obediently.
"Mom, you should support me."
Aemon was not angry, and sat down next to his mother, smiling and saying: "The Royce family has accepted me, but after all, you are in your prime, so you must give me some room to develop."
This is the truth.
With the arrival of the dragon, the attitude of the Royce family has changed drastically.
Everyone wished he could stay in Runestone City, for fear that he would stay in King's Landing and never come back.
Mrs. Leia glanced sideways and said bluntly: "The valley has high mountains and many lakes. The best land is in the Erin Valley. Where are you going to expand your territory?"
Is it possible to go to the mountains and compete with the Gaoshan clan for territory?
"I can look for it without losing anything."
Aemon closed the distance and said cheekily: "As long as you send me some manpower, don't let me do it alone."
"Are you sure?"
"certainly."
Mrs. Leia was discouraged and waved her hands.
"Thank you, mom."
Aemon laughed out loud, stepped forward to hug him hard, and ran out the door quickly.
He is not stupid, how could he ask for trouble?
For four whole years, he had accumulated an unknown amount of magic essence, as well as exchanged resource cards.
As long as there is a decent territory, he will definitely show off his skills.
"Stupid boy."
Mrs. Leia rolled her eyes and curled up into a smile.
…
the next day.
Aemon mounted the White Hart and led a group of one hundred and fifty Vale Knights out.
The fifty people are the base of his prince's camp, and the hundred people are my mother's new manpower.
Looking at the valley, it can be called grand.
"Prince."
Steve stepped forward on horseback and warned: "According to what Mrs. Leia said, you must first inspect the villages in your territory before you can go further to visit your vassals."
Hearing this, Aemon chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I understand."
Mom's idea was simple, let him familiarize himself with the territory of Rune Stone City as soon as possible.
Looking for a piece of unclaimed territory, but fell behind in the queue.
"Prince, should we go to Seagull Town first?"
William came up, licked his face and said, "Sir Ryan has given birth to a son, we can go and congratulate him."
Aemon glanced at him and let him see for himself.
Is that to congratulate?
I don't even want to point it out to you, I obviously want to go to Seagull Town to have fun.
The life in the valley is monotonous, and only Seagull Town, which can be called a city, stands out.
Sixteen-year-old William was eager to try.
"Let's go to the east coast first. There is a small fishing village there."
Eamonn made a decision and made the itinerary planning.
The valley is very large, and the Moon Mountains form a natural barrier to protect the Arryn Valley.
But in addition to the Erin Valley under the rule of the Eyrie City, there are also the Three Sisters Islands, the Five Fingers Peninsula, and Crab Bay...
Runestone City and Seagull Town are located outside the mountains to the east of the Mingyue Mountains, to the west of the Strait, and to the north of Crab Bay.
This fertile land in an independent world is called "Eastern Land Cape" by the Royce family.
Among them, Seagull Town mainly relies on Crab Bay for port trade, and its land is very scarce.
Ninety percent of the land in Donglujiao is under the rule of Fushi City.
Aemon's trip will cover the entire Eastern Continent.
For this reason, he didn't even ride Wormisor, but chose White Deer instead.
"Yes, Prince!"
The escort team responded in unison.
Aemon rode in front on a white stag, followed by a hundred and fifty knights of the Vale.
The flag with bronze runes and three red dragons was raised high, breaking through the billowing dust raised by the horses' hooves.
…
Dusk.
It was an ordinary small fishing village, with low-slung houses and smoke rising from the chimneys.
There were no dogs barking or chickens crowing, and the path was bumpy.
There are several small broken boats stranded on the beach, which shows that the people live in poverty.
Eamonn led the white deer to the entrance of the village and saw a child who looked like a mud monkey, picking up conch shells that no one wanted in a basket.
"They're having a little hard time."
Aemon said with a frown.
It was April and the weather was not yet warm in the valley.
William persuaded in a low voice: "Compared to other places in the valley, the citizens of Runestone City are already very good."
Aemon looked at the white knight and the taciturn Gunthor.
Both of them nodded.
Aemon was silent, thoughtful.
During the reign of great-grandfather, the Seven Kingdoms were initially stable and the people's lives were prosperous.
When the uncle takes over the Iron Throne, he will have a prosperous age.
But the prosperous age belonged to the nobles and knights, not the common people at the bottom.
"So what?"
After Aemon pondered for a while, he quickly figured it out.
The world is just unfair.
When the nobles become rich, the people at the bottom have a chance to breathe.
Moreover, the uncle has a kind personality and is very generous to the people.
Just like in the territory of Rune Stone City, the people in the territory can have enough food and clothing, which is much better than the time of the conquerors.
"Although my uncle is weak, he is still a benevolent king."
Aemon laughed dumbly.
Everyone has two sides, and there are always some shining points.
He has the desire to rebel, but he has no reason to rebel.
"Let's go into the village and rest here tonight."
Aemon cheered up and took a look at the living standards of his subjects.
Others are free to do so.
The Valley Knights camped where they were, accompanied by an escort team.
The arrival of His Highness the Prince is destined to cause a small sensation.
