Prince Doran did not live in Sunspear, the home city of the Martell family, but lived in a gorgeous palace on the beach three leagues west of Sunspear.
This is the private residence of the Princes of Dorne, a palace composed of fountains and gardens, separated by a coastal road.
"Does Your Highness still have any impressions of this place?"
A man with olive skin and straight black hair, wearing a sandy-yellow robe to block the scorching sun, rode on a slender Dornish horse, turned his head and spoke to Horos.
The person who led Horos here as a guide was his brother-in-law, Prince Tristan Martell.
He is the youngest son of Prince Doran and the cousin of Queen Rhaenys, the mother of Hroth, so Hroth calls Tristan his uncle.
Tristan looked at his nephew, especially since he had long dark hair and black eyes, and the more he looked at him, the more he liked him.
This is also the reason why Dorne is willing to support Horos unconditionally, because he has very distinct Dornish blood characteristics, unlike the child born to his sister Arianne, who has silver hair and purple eyes and does not have any "Dornish flavor" in him.
At the same time, Tristan also had troubles in this regard, so the more he watched Heros, the more he liked it.
Originally, during the time of King Robert, Robert Baratheon wanted to restore Dorne, so he betrothed his daughter Myrcella to Tristan's brother, Prince Quentin Martell. Prince Doran was trying to stabilize the Iron Throne.
So I agreed.
However, everyone knows what happened next. The Baratheon family fell apart and Princess Myrcella was fostered in King's Landing as a former princess.
As the heir of Dorne, it would be inappropriate to marry such a former princess, but after all, the Martell family is also a big and respectable family. It would be hard to say whether they would break the engagement like this.
Therefore, the engagement was later transferred to Quentin's younger brother, Prince Trystane, who was more suitable in age.
Tristan Martell went to the Iron Islands to marry his bride. He was not happy at first. After all, he had never seen her face. Who knew what Myrcella looked like.
But after meeting him in person, Tristan didn't have any objections.
Myrcella fully inherited the advantages of her parents. She has milk-white skin and golden curly hair, and her personality is completely opposite to her mother. She is delicate, beautiful and polite, but also has courage and strong will.
Tristan successfully married the beautiful girl and returned to Dorne. He had no dissatisfaction with his wife. After all, Myrcella was beautiful in appearance and gentle in character.
However, it is a pity that Myrcella later gave birth to several children for Tristan, but they were all blond and blue-eyed, and there was no "Dornish flavor" at all. This became Tristan's greatest regret.
"Um?"
After hearing his uncle's words, Heros was slightly startled. It was obvious that he had forgotten.
"It seems that His Highness has forgotten."
"Your mother, Queen Rhaenys, once carried you home once when you were little."
That was when Horos was still young, and Rhaenys had returned to Dorne once with her infant son in her arms for a visit.
However, Rhaenys had lived in King's Landing since she was a child, and then moved to the continent of Essos, so she really didn't have much to get close to her relatives back home, so very few went back. Horos had been to Sunspear, but it was true that
This is the first time in my memory that I have visited Falling Water Gardens.
Prince Tristan did not pay attention, but got off his horse and handed the reins to the Dornish guards in the Water Garden, and then continued to speak.
"The Water Gardens was first built by Prince Marlon Martell."
"As a gift to his Targaryen bride Daenerys, daughter of King Yin Gen IV Targaryen and Queen Nerysh Targaryen."
"This marks the union of Dorne with the Iron Throne."
His uncle, Prince Tristan, introduced the history of Fallingwater Gardens, which symbolizes the union of the Targaryen family and the Iron Throne.
After all, the news of King's Landing has not yet come, and Horos is still the most powerful heir of the Targaryen family. It is still necessary for Tristan to introduce these things to Horos.
"At the same time, this is also my father's favorite place."
Tristan shrugged his shoulders and said.
Heros took a deep breath after hearing his uncle's words, then turned over and jumped off the horse, holding on to the saddle ring.
“It’s really beautiful here.”
"It's also very meaningful."
He looked around, the autumn wind here was very refreshing, and then he nodded slightly uneasily and said, but Tristan didn't see it.
"Your Highness."
Then an attendant from the Flowing Water Palace came forward and took away the horse for Horos. Now Terex is resting outside Sunspear City, being fed by the guards of the Martell family.
However, many times it doesn't like being fed by humans, which makes it feel very shameless. It prefers to fly into the sea to hunt big fish by itself.
Horos and Trystane walked into the Water Garden, which has numerous pools and fountains, blood orange trees cast shadows, and pale pink marble floors cover the gardens and courtyards.
Then they passed through a row of carved beams and passed through elegant arches. The salty sea breeze blew by. Many children of noble birth and noble families from all over Dorne played on the beach, pools and fountains here.
They all cast curious glances at Heros.
"dad."
However, at this moment, a little boy with blond hair ran towards Tristan.
"Morse."
When Tristan saw the blond-haired boy, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
He hugged the boy, picked him up and put him on his arms, then rubbed the boy's cheek with his beard and introduced him to Heros.
"Your Highness, this is my son Morse Martell."
"This is Prince Horos Targaryen, Morse, please call His Highness."
"Your Highness."
And Tristan and Myrcella's son was indeed as smart and sensible as he described along the way. After hearing his father's words, he immediately spoke respectfully.
"Hello, Morse."
When Heros saw the boy's cute and sensible appearance, his eyes were slightly complicated.
Then after hearing Morse Martell's words, he finally calmed down his emotions, smiled, ruffled his hair and said.
"You will definitely be an excellent Prince of Dorne when you grow up."
Although Horos has the blood of Dorne, he doesn't know much about the customs and customs of Dorne.
He meant his words casually, but it made Tristan Martell, who was holding his son, slightly startled.
Later, it was only when the bodyguards of his father, Prince Doran, came to invite Heros into the bedroom for a chat that he came back to his senses.
