Author: Leaning on the railing and letting the wind blow

"It's hard for me to convince myself to forgive those conspirators, Cole." The king sat at the desk and shook his head.

"The kingdom is already crumbling, Your Majesty." Cole continued to try to convince him.

Stannis was silent for a while before speaking, "I am responsible to the country. Boys, girls, men, and women in Westeros, I have to be responsible to them."

"If the Dothraki and Ironborn are allowed to come ashore, there will be a bloody storm in Westeros. They only have plunder and killing in their eyes."

How could Stannis not know their nature? The Ironborn have always had a bad reputation, and the Dothraki were no less generous.

"What conditions did they impose on you?"

"Tyrion Lannister's letter only mentioned an invitation to the wedding. Tyrion is going to marry Sansa of the Stark family, and Joffrey will soon marry Margaery Tyrell."

"Does Eddard Stark know that his daughter is getting married?" the king continued to ask.

"I think he knows that by now."

"Stark, Tyrell, Lannister and Martell." The king said in a self-deprecating tone.

He stood up and said, "Go and see Shirin. I'll be alone for a while."

Looking out the window at the dark night, a moment later the knock on the door rang again.

"Your Majesty." This is Davos Seaworth, the Onion Knight.

"You have disappointed me, smuggler." The king turned his back to him. "I should punish you, but Cole interceded for you. He said that you were the most loyal knight and you were just deceived."

Davos lowered his head in shame. He was extremely angry at his ignorance at this moment. "I know that I have sinned deeply, Your Majesty."

"I called you here not because I want to hear your words of self-blame. I asked you to be the king's hand because I want to hear your advice. Please tell me truthfully, what is the responsibility of the king? Sir." The king turned.

Come over.

"The king's duty is the country, Your Majesty. The king protects his subjects and the kingdom." Davos answered without thinking.

"Have you read the letter again?" the king asked him.

"Yes." Davos asked the maester to read it to him, and Axel Florent only took one paragraph and told him.

"Cole suggested that I temporarily call a truce on King's Landing. He said that the forces of Dragonstone and Storm's End were not strong enough to resist the enemy from across the Narrow Sea. Who is the enemy? The Lannister, and the Dothraki too. This made me

It’s hard to decide.”

"Your Majesty, what would happen if you put the carriage in front of the horse?" The Onion Knight suddenly asked.

"Putting the cart before the horse, smuggler."

Davos nodded slightly, "Your country needs your rescue, Your Majesty. When the Mad King Alys was in trouble in the world, it was your brother Robert who defeated him and saved the Seven Kingdoms from fire and water, so the world is willing to honor him.

To be a king. You should rely on the country to win the throne, not the throne to win the country."

Surprise flashed across Stannis's face, and Davos' words made him fall into deep thought.

Davos was right. He was almost crazy about chasing power and the Iron Throne, and even almost lost his responsibilities. Melisandre prophesied that "heroes born from boiling oceans, dragons hatched from inorganic stones,

The sword of light drawn from the flames." These prophecies pointed to him.

This is the mission given to him by fate. Although he has never asked for anything, he has to shoulder his own responsibilities.

"Everyone must do his duty, smuggler," the king said to him. "Please remember your duty."

Not far after Cole walked out of the castle's study, the red-robed woman once again blocked his way.

He walked straight over, but she stepped aside and stopped him, "The night is dark, Sir."

Cole snorted coldly, turned around and left.

"Ants cannot understand human words, just as humans cannot interpret the omens of gods." She said to Cole, "I sometimes take warnings as prophecies, or prophecies as warnings. I apologize to you, sir."

"I'm not interested in your gods and prophecies, madam." Cole said without looking back.

He took a detour. The castle was filled with statues of various monsters. Cole didn't know why Aegon the Conqueror collected these things. They looked eerie.

Shireen was not in Aegon's Garden, they were following Maester Pylos in reading.

When Cole pushed the door open, Edric Storm was the first to spot him.

"We are studying history, brother-in-law." He picked up the book.

"It's the history of Aegon the Conqueror's conquests," Shireen said.

Edric jumped next to him, "You were so awesome that day."

Although both children were protected by the guards and quickly evacuated from the scene.

"Who did you learn your sword skills from? Do you know how to use a hammer? They didn't hurt you, did they?" Edric walked around him and asked.

"There are too many questions, and I can't answer them right away." Cole stopped with a smile.

Cole greeted the maester, then found a chair to sit down and answered a few of his questions.

"A hammer is much more powerful than a sword, brother-in-law. Why don't you give it a try?"

"If I have a chance, I will give it a try."

Cole talked with them about history, and he had read a lot of books about Aegon the Conqueror on the Wall.

Conquering the three dragons has always been known to everyone. Hearing that the skeleton of Balerion, the Black Death God, was in King's Landing, Cole really wanted to see it. He didn't know how inferior Caesar's physique was compared to Balerion.

It is recorded in the books that Balerion can cover half of the sky in King's Landing with his wings. Think about how terrifying it is. Only this kind of monster can control the Seven Kingdoms.

"There are dragons on Dragonstone." Edric suddenly said, "Some people saw it. They said it was a white dragon flying towards the castle."

He and Shireen searched all morning and found no trace of the dragon on the castle.

Caesar flew into the clouds and disappeared.

They had been prepared to be exposed. If Stannis hadn't suddenly woken up, Cole would have flown away on his dragon.

Many people must have seen him, but who knows whether a legendary creature like a dragon is true or false?

Just like some people saw mermaids, some people said they saw sea dragons.

Caesar hovered in the air, waiting until he was sure Cole was not in danger before flying towards the sea.

There are far fewer traces of humans on the sea than on land, so he found an uninhabited island as a shelter.

Except for foraging, Caesar spends most of his time sleeping.

Of course, Cole sometimes urges me to exercise.

Caesar's mind is like that of a newborn child, ignorant and full of curiosity about everything.

Sometimes I can be playful, but fortunately I have Cole's supervision.

One dragon and one person have the same soul. If one is prosperous, both will be prosperous, and if one is harmed, both will suffer.

The strategy of raising dragons will still take some time. Although Caesar has begun to take shape now, it is still far from the three dragons of the Conqueror.

Caesar is his last and most important trump card. He does not have three dragons like Aegon and Dragon Mother.
