76 The people of the valley are sheep, and I am a real dragon!« Prev≡ Table of ContentsGoogleNext »Aemon also tilted his head and said in surprise: "You have to give me a reason?"
It was still mother and son talking, but the voice was no longer brisk.
Marriage is an important matter, no matter how important it is.
Lady Leia said calmly: "I don't like Targaryens, and I also don't like girls with Targaryen blood."
Aemon became more and more confused and looked at the other person blankly.
Lady Leia continued: "The one on Tidal Head Island is also of Targaryen blood."
Two sentences.
Not only did he deny Rhaenyra, but he even implicated Lannal.
Aemon frowned: "Lanael hasn't offended you, has she?"
"You like her?"
Lady Rhea was quick to speak.
Aemon hesitated for a moment and said in denial: "It doesn't count."
Lanner is certainly very good.
Beautiful, generous, intelligent, and full of women's unique gentle temperament.
But there is a gap between the two.
The sea snake has not solved the problem of his daughter's marriage for many years. Instead, he has kept the son of the former Bras Sea King in captivity like a pig.
This disgusted Aemon, who believed that the Velaryon family was too calculating.
The sea snake's move was simply to kill the son of the Sea King of Bluffs and preserve the reputation of his daughter and family.
Besides, Lanner is so smart.
A 12-year-old girl, determined to tame Vhagar, the largest and oldest person in the world.
And let her succeed.
Even "Brave Belron" tamed Vhagar only after being knighted at the age of 16.
This also made him feel like he was being stripped naked and seen through when he was getting along with Lanner.
Without secrets, basic trust cannot be established.
Over time, the two people changed from the initial friendly relationship to taking the initiative to distance themselves from each other.
Occasionally we communicate with each other, or we meet at the throat of a dragon.
But I can't say I like it.
"Then it's over."
Mrs. Leia looked like she had expected it, and said calmly: "If you don't like both of them, it's better to marry a valley girl."
Eamonn noticed something was fishy and asked for an answer: "Mom, why are you trying so hard to persuade me to marry a Vale girl?"
If you don't see through the problem, look for the consequences of the problem.
By applying the effect to the cause, you can always find clues.
Lady Leya said: "If you want to take root in the valley, you must do this."
"Are you worried that if I marry a dragon master, I will betray the Royce family?"
Aemon closed his eyes, held his forehead and sighed.
Humans and dragons influence each other.
He was already getting irritated and couldn't help but poke the window paper.
The reason why he could inherit the Runestone City of the Royce family with the Targaryen surname.
Not only because of the plan of my mother, Lady Leia, but also my maternal uncle, Jobert Royce.
The mother and father were married, and the children they gave birth to had Targaryen blood.
A lesson learned is the sea serpent Corliss.
A pair of sons and daughters are both dragon masters, and the family's power has skyrocketed.
Although in the original world, this plan failed.
But now that Aemon is here, the Royce family's reputation and power in the valley is no longer the second in command.
However, nothing is too much.
If he marries a girl with Targaryen blood, the children he gives birth to will be alienated from the Royce family.
At that time, the Royce family will face the risk of being wiped out.
This combination of blessing and misfortune shows the boldness of Jobert Royce's political level.
"more than!"
Mrs. Leia shook her head: "You just inherit Runestone City, I won't force you."
"But if you want to open up the valley, marrying a valley girl is essential."
Aemon opened his eyes and said suspiciously: "Will someone trip me up?"
Mrs. Leia took a sip of wine and said slowly: "The river valley was once the outpost of the Royce family, but after the invasion of the Andals, it was out of control."
"In the following thousands of years, this land was owned by Rune Stone City, Iron Oak City, and Red Barrier at different times."
"Until a few years ago, the Gaoshan clan became more and more rampant, and this land was completely reduced to terra nullius."
Aemon suddenly understood.
No wonder the river valley is ownerless, it turned out to be a buffer land.
He occupied the valley land and touched the interests of the valley nobles.
And his identity is too sensitive.
A Targaryen prince with a dragon settled in the Vale.
Does this situation look like when Aegon the Conqueror landed on the continent of Westeros?
Mrs. Leia was very sober and said: "Your goal is to establish yourself in the valley, so you must abide by the rules of the valley."
She knew very well how similar her son's character was to her husband beneath his playful smile.
They also admire dragons and are clever but lack patience.
Such people can attract countless followers wherever they go, but they will always encounter rejection and find it difficult to gain a foothold.
If you are unwilling to sacrifice, you will be jealous.
"The rules of the valley?"
Aemon thought carefully about it.
My mother's intention was for him to gain the recognition of the valley nobles through marriage.
To put it bluntly, it is a certificate of submission.
The struggle for power is clearly visible.
Mrs. Leia was not in a hurry, slowly savoring the aroma of the wine and waiting for her son to make a decision.
"Mom."
Aemon pondered for a moment and said with unprecedented seriousness: "I have a dragon, why should I abide by the rules of the valley?"
Great-grandfather's integration strategy proves a truth.
Compromising will only pay a heavy price.
He could never win by the rules of the Vale nobility.
Mrs. Leia hasn't understood yet.
"How about we overthrow the rules and establish a new one for the nobles of the valley."
Aemon's eyes were deep and his tone of voice changed.
Majestic, iron-fisted, murderous,
More like a decisive and iron-blooded monarch.
Hearing this, Mrs. Leia's pupils suddenly shrank and she said in disbelief: "You want to challenge the Aylin family in the Eagle's Nest City?"
Hit the nail on the head.
Aemon nodded vigorously and said solemnly: "Using Runestone City as a springboard to seize power in the valley, I don't believe that my great-grandfather and Lord Yobert did not have this idea."
Lady Rhea was even more shocked.
Because Uncle Jobert must have said something similar.
She thought it was her uncle's persistence in the honor of the "Bronze King".
But the old man will carry out his loyalty to the end throughout his life.
Eamonn was very rational and said slowly: "This idea only existed in the embryonic stage, and was rejected by the two old men at the same time, but it makes sense."
He was raised by his great-grandfather when he was a child, and the old man never lacked for nagging.
This allowed him to know many unknown secrets.
For example, the marriage between Targaryen and the Royce family is naturally not a coincidence.
The heir Aemon was killed, leaving only the second son "Belron the Brave" to resist.
My great-grandfather's idea at the time was that eggs cannot be put in one basket.
Divide his second grandson Damon, borrow chickens from the Royce family to lay eggs, and spread the bloodline to the valley.
Lord Yobert's idea is also very pure, taking the opportunity to obtain the blood of the true dragon and enhance the power of the family.
If possible, go one step further.
Pay attention to this "one step further". The two old people have different ideas.
Lord Yobert wants to regain control of the Mingyue Mountains and restore the glory of the Royce family.
But he didn't expect that just after Daemon married his niece Rhea, the old Duke Arryn and his heir were killed.
Only a 3-year-old girl remained.
I can't challenge, I can only help.
But my great-grandfather thought long-term and made two preparations.
The second grandson Damon married Lady Rhea.
Before that, the eldest grandson Viserys married Queen Emma, who was of Targaryen blood.
With the political marriage of two grandsons, there is always a place for House Targaryen in the Vale.
No matter how you look at it, it's a guaranteed profit.
But the unexpected will come sooner than tomorrow.
Damon doesn't like Lady Rhea and doesn't even want to sleep with her.
In 101 AC, "Berron the Brave" passed away, which directly dealt a heavy blow to the royal family.
Two things stacked up and almost defeated the old man.
In other words, Lord Jobert sought stability in the chaos, and used inheritance rights as a threat to force Damon to consummate his marriage with his niece, Lady Leya.
Eamonn was born successfully.
He barely managed to bring blood back to the two families.
But without "Brave Bellon", the royal family was struggling.
Queen Emma cannot bear a son, and Daemon covets his brother's throne.
There are constant internal disputes, and there is no intention to expand outward.
"Mom."
Aemon was determined to change, and his voice was sonorous and powerful: "Punch away with one punch, or you won't get punched a hundred times!"
On this continent, whoever has the biggest fist has the right to speak.
The Valemen were just sheep, and he...
In the eyes of Lady Leia, who was confused and uncertain, Aemon said calmly: "I am born of bronze and fire, and I am a real dragon that eats sheep!"
