Selyse Florent, mother and daughter, were still in the dining room of the castle, but the Baratheon family soldiers beside them had been escorted out and replaced by Unsullied soldiers.
Then I saw Rhaenys pushing the door and walking in. The mother and daughter were still trembling a little. The little girl Shireen was so frightened that she cried loudly, but her mother Celis Florent was a bit of a dragon stone.
The temperament of the island duchess.
She saw Rhaenys walking in and suppressed the fear in her heart. Then she put her daughter aside, stood up from the chair and bowed slightly to salute.
"your Highness."
Through the Unsullied soldiers just now, she also learned that the one who led the army to attack Dragonstone was the niece of the 'false king' Viserys, the eldest princess Rhaenys Targaryen, another member of the Targaryen family.
A dragon knight.
And Rhaenys looked at the little girl crying in front of her, and the woman who was pretending to be calm but her body was trembling under her clothes, and sighed slightly.
She did not embarrass the poor mother and daughter, and then said a few words briefly. Instead of throwing Celis and her daughter into prison, she allowed them to continue to live in the castle until they were captured.
Stannis or the war is over.
It is an unspoken rule among the nobility that the crime should not be punished by the family members. Everything will leave a way out. Otherwise, killing will be carried out at will, and there will not be so many ancient families that have been passed down for hundreds of years.
However, Celis and her daughter were not allowed to leave the castle and were restricted to the surveillance of soldiers.
And Rhaenys then sat on the throne of Dragonstone and skillfully conveyed the orders one by one.
Because Viserys often leaves his post without authorization when he has nothing to do, Rhaenys has experience in supervising the country for him. In addition, she also has a good teacher. Her uncle Oberyn is very knowledgeable, and the girl is very young.
Already able to handle government and military affairs skillfully on his own.
Therefore, Viserys felt confident and bold enough to let Rhaenys personally lead an army to invade Dragonstone.
However, Dragonstone is not the end of this army, Rhaenys is ready to take a step closer.
She sat on the stone throne in the main hall of Dragonstone and sought advice from three commanders, namely the commander of the Golden Company, Mistoin, the commander of the Dragonstone fleet, Lord Geoffrey Bracken, and Wu.
Commander Black Worm.
Then I got a unanimous and positive opinion.
Immediately, the next day.
The Targaryen army blitzed Dragonstone Island, and the defenders of Dragonstone surrendered without a fight. However, the Targaryen army only rested for a day before setting sail again and marching to another island not far from Dragonstone Island.
.
Tideshead Isle of House Velaryon.
The Dragonstone fleet led by Lord Geoffrey Bracken, Lord of the Sea, and some soldiers of the Golden Company set out to attack Tidehead Island.
The Velaryon family was originally distantly related to the Targaryen family. They were both families from the Free Fortress. However, the Velaryon family was not one of the ancient forty families, but a new family that emerged after the empire.
Long before Aenar Targaryen led his family to migrate to Dragonstone, the Velaryon family had settled on Tidehead Island.
In the early days of the Targaryen dynasty, the Velaryon family had a decisive power within the dynasty. The first captain of the Kingsguard and Lord of the Sea were both from the Velaryon family. For a period of time, the only position of Lord of the Sea was Valyrian.
Only a Velaryon can take up the position, and people say that the position has become hereditary for the Velaryon family.
However, no matter how close the relationship is, families will eventually find it difficult to resist the passage of time and interests.
The Targaryens fell in the Usurper's War, and the Velaryon family began to declare their neutrality, but in the end they secretly embraced the Usurper and stabbed his distant relative in the back.
In the end, Stannis's royal fleet was united in an attack on Dragonstone Island, causing the Dragonstone Island fleet to be almost wiped out. Lord Geoffrey Bracken, the commander-in-chief of the fleet, was almost killed by an arrow in the chest.
Stroh's last territory.
But now, the Targaryens are back, and it's time to take revenge on their betrayers one by one.
The mighty Dragonstone Fleet carried the soldiers of the Golden Company and sailed to Chaotou Island. However, the Velaryon family of Chaotou Island, who claimed to be "loyal, brave and honest", had already become a mess.
Because of the close distance, they realized that Dragonstone had been captured by the Targaryen army this morning.
Lord Montford Velaryon of Tideshead Island hurriedly asked for help from King's Landing, hoping to get support from the royal fleet docked in King's Landing. He also knew that he had betrayed the Targaryen family on the battlefield and it was almost impossible to get forgiveness.
Therefore, he also arranged for his wife, newborn child Monterey and other family members to escape.
"Let's go!"
"Take our children and flee to King's Landing!"
The handsome Lord Montford Velaryon was standing in the port kissing his wife in armor, his long golden hair flying in the wind.
Then the warship set sail and sailed to King's Landing.
Earl Montford stood on the observation deck and watched the warship carrying his family leave, with a relaxed smile finally showing on his face.
However...
Lord Montford was happy too early, and his plans were too late.
The Targaryen army came to attack Tidehead Island a step faster than Montford imagined. The Dragonstone Island fleet, filled with revenge and anger, came overwhelmingly, vowing to avenge the backstab, and easily surrounded Tidehead.
island.
Boom boom boom——
Boulders flew into the sky one after another, and then fell down.
The ship carrying the family of Count Montford Velaryon of Tidehead Island had just left the port and had not sailed too far when it encountered fierce bombardment from the trebuchets on the Black Death.
In an instant, the warships of the Velaryon family were torn apart and sank into the sea. Count Montford Velaryon, who was standing on the port, witnessed this scene and his eyes were suddenly split.
However, Tidehead Island was then attacked by the Targaryen army. Countless soldiers of the Golden Company landed on Tidehead Island. The soldiers of the Velaryon family resisted desperately, but the difference in strength was too great, and they were killed one after another, leaving corpses everywhere.
.
"kill!"
Huge boulders burning with kerosene blasted open the castle gate like cannonballs. Lord Montford Velaryon was captured after a fierce battle inside the castle, and was then escorted to Dragonstone in embarrassment.
Blackwater Bay was captured by the Targaryen army overnight, and the army approached King's Landing with great momentum.
...
And in faraway Pentos.
A piece of good news suddenly came.
It even alarmed Oberyn, who was training his army day and night in preparation for landing in Westeros.
He rode a fast horse and rushed to Pentos overnight under the escort of his own soldiers.
It turns out that the 'queen-to-be' Princess Arianne Martell is pregnant.
According to the inference of the local doctor in Pentos, Arianne should have been pregnant for two months.
It was not long after Viserys returned from the ruins of Valyria that he was getting married. Unexpectedly, he was shot at that time.
