"It… it succeeded?" Daeron watched, somewhat surprised, as Silverwing took flight again, circling the Dragon Nest Tower several times, surrounded by other dragons, before slowly returning to the top of the Dragon Nest Tower.
The boys watched the scene before them in astonishment, only Viserys secretly gritted his teeth, letting out a silent sigh in his heart. After Valarr decided to take his last flight, Silverwing almost immediately found a new "master," proving that the Varezes family would never let go of Vermithor and Silverwing.
Troublesome, truly troublesome.
Queen Samantha was right; he was still too impatient. Viserys took a deep breath, suppressing other thoughts in his mind, and focused intently on the sight of the dragons dancing.
"According to records, Silverwing has a gentle disposition." Aemon limped over to Daeron, patiently explaining to his cousin, "As Queen Alysanne's mount, Silverwing's public image was like that of the kind Queen: beautiful and gentle. Although its second master was Prince Valarr, the dragon's inherent nature should not change, which is why it could be tamed so easily."
Daeron was clearly not satisfied with this explanation.
"Aemon, how much longer until your leg is fully healed?"
"Soon." Aemon quickly understood what Daeron wanted to do.
He suddenly became a little excited.
"Archmaester Munkun and Scholar Olford both judged that it has actually healed now, but wearing the recovery gear for a bit longer will ensure no hidden problems."
"Alright then, after we return to King's Landing, you and I, we'll call… we'll call," Daeron thought for a moment, "we'll call Aegon, and we'll go to Dragonstone together to tame Sheepstealer and Seasmoke."
"Daeron!" Jane frowned deeply. Although she didn't like dragons, she wasn't entirely ignorant about them. "Those are two uncontrollable wild dragons. Seasmoke is one thing, but Sheepstealer has never been tamed." Jane secretly glanced at King Aegon, who was leaning on the battlements, his eyes full of sorrow. "What will King and Queen think?"
Daeron whispered, "Don't worry, Lord Joffrey is on Tide Stone; we can ask for his protection first. You know me, I never fight a battle without preparation."
Jane didn't know what to say. How could he be sure that Joffrey's first reaction upon seeing them would be to help him tame a dragon, rather than give him a beating and then take them back to King's Landing on Tyraxes?
"If you absolutely must tame a wild dragon, I suggest you best speak with King." Jane whispered, "No, it's best to speak with Prince Viserys first; he will support you."
Jane knew very well that King Aegon's attitude towards his children taming dragons was very ambiguous; no one knew if he would object or support it. But Viserys would definitely support Daeron and them taming dragons. Through the process from Viserys to Aegon, Daeron could achieve his vision.
"Thank you, Jane!" Daeron finally realized the deeper meaning embedded in Jane's arrangement. He decided to discuss it with Viserys that evening.
Jane looked at her husband, who became like a child when excited, and the steady, silent Aemon, and finally couldn't help but turn her head back to watch Silverwing's final circle of flight.
Silverwing landed steadily on top of the Dragon Nest Tower, and Valenna finally released her trembling hands, fumbling for a while to find the buckles of the straps to open them, and shakily climbed down from the dragon's back.
The young people of the Varezes family swarmed forward, chattering excitedly, saying who knew what.
In the end, Rhaegor maintained order. He pulled away the loudest shouting Jacaerys, gestured with his eyes for Serena to pull away Orion, and pulled Daniela out himself. Daniela hurriedly squeezed over, examining Valenna from head to toe.
"Well done, Valenna, Father will be proud of you."
Valenna roughly wiped her eyes.
"Sister, Daniela, the wind up there is so strong. Look, it blew out so many tears."
Daniela didn't know what to say; she could only slowly lean next to Valenna after Rhaegor let go, feeling somewhat at a loss for what to do.
Jacaerys and Serena, who had been pulled away, watched with twitching faces.
"Father will be proud of you. Listen, Silverwing is calling your name too," Daniela said gently.
"You're lying to me." Valenna suddenly smiled. "Silverwing clearly said, 'You ride nowhere near as well as Father.'"
"What?" Seeing that her sister was less sad, Daniela also jokingly said with some sadness, "Silverwing really is… nothing like my Sarafasas, who only praises me."
The sisters' sobs did not stop, but became clearer amidst their laughter.
Ray silently watched the children comforting Daniela and Valenna; even Rhaenyra and Diana joined in.
As mothers.
He approached his equally quiet older brother.
"Brother, if I go before you," Ray said softly, "please handle my body in the same way."
"Ray… you're still as perceptive as when you were a child," Dragonzel also whispered.
"Everything is for the family," Ray said. "You think so too, don't you, Brother?"
Dragonzel nodded.
He only said one word.
"Good." The dragons dispersed, and Dragonzel and Ray took the children to the Flame Tower, where they would hold a vigil for Valarr. The Targaryens also returned to their guest rooms.
Prince Aegon looked at his father, somewhat restless.
"Alright." Viserys couldn't bear to see his son like this. "I didn't say I blame you. Go back."
Aegon secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his father indeed had no intention of blaming him.
Just then, Daeron quietly slipped in.
At first glance.
Oh, why is everyone here?
Viserys sat in a chair, expressionlessly watching Daeron, who had entered hunched over. Prince Aegon stood beside him, and Ilion was sound asleep on the bed.
This made Daeron scratch his head somewhat awkwardly, and Aemon behind him also lowered his head in embarrassment.
"Prince, why aren't you resting? What brings you here?" Viserys looked at Daeron, and a glimmer of hope involuntarily arose within him.
"Ah, this…" Daeron thought for a moment, and finally decided to tell the truth, "Uncle, I want to take my cousin Aemon, and cousin Aegon, to Dragonstone."
"Dragonstone is your territory, Prince." Viserys realized what Daeron wanted to do. He forcibly suppressed his smile and frowned deeply. "You can go anytime; you don't need to tell me."
"No, no, no." Daeron hurriedly waved his hand in denial. "We want to… tame dragons."
"There are ready-made dragons in the Dragonpit in King's Landing. Besides Dreamfyre and Caraxes, the rest of the dragons are very gentle," Viserys said. "Prince, I must remind you that the two wild dragons on Dragonstone, both Seasmoke and Sheepstealer, are lawless wild dragons. The last one who tried to tame Seasmoke was Usurper Aegon, and you know what his end was. Aegon, you tell them."
Prince Aegon didn't expect his father to suddenly bring the topic to him, but Prince Aegon was not merely a lecherous man; he was a lecherous man with principles and knowledge. In fact, precisely because he did possess some talent, Prince Aegon received a full knightly education. His martial arts were decent, he could compose poetry, was very skilled at the harp, and combined with his handsome appearance, he could make so many girls willingly climb into his bed.
"Father, the Usurper failed to tame Seasmoke, had his legs scorched by Seasmoke, and ultimately died beneath the dragonflame of Grandfather's Caraxes."
"As for Sheepstealer, from the day the Dragon Guard recorded its name, it has never been tamed by anyone else," Viserys said in a deep voice. "Have you seen it?"
Daeron shook his head.
"I have," Viserys recalled his experience of seeing Sheepstealer. Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, he was startled by the ferocity of this dragon.
That was a true dragon. Perhaps more than thirty years ago, it was inconspicuous among the dragons of Westeros, and even after Cannibal was hunted, it was scared and hid for a very long time. But today, it is one of the largest wild dragons under the Targaryen family's surveillance, second only to Dreamfyre in size, and similar in size to Caraxes. However, no one knows its true combat power. After all, it has never participated in a dragon fight witnessed by humans.
After years of silence, Sheepstealer also began to become active again in Blackwater Bay, but it was very clever, deliberately avoiding the waters frequently visited by Caraxes and Dreamfyre, and deliberately avoiding direct conflicts with other dragons. On this basis, it would suddenly attack ships and burn and kill flocks of sheep grazing in the Vale and on the islands.
So many years had passed, and it still loved mutton so much.
Lord Joffrey of the Vale once tried to drive away Sheepstealer, which had come to the Vale to forage. He set traps, prepared scorpion crossbows and weapons, and hundreds of fully armed warriors, but after paying the price of dozens of lives, Lord Joffrey could only choose to pay for peace.
He arranged flocks of sheep in places where Sheepstealer frequently appeared, for Sheepstealer to eat.
It proved effective. After Sheepstealer learned that unattended flocks of sheep would regularly appear in this place, it happily enjoyed its feast and would not go to other places to harm sheep.
The harm Sheepstealer caused to the Vale was greatly reduced.
No one noticed that Grey Ghost, the wild dragon that had always been ignored, was also overlooked by the Targaryen family this time.
Viserys didn't even remember that there was a wild dragon named Grey Ghost on Dragonstone.
The Prince detailed the basic situation of Sheepstealer and Seasmoke.
He thought Daeron and Aemon would have an emotional change.
There was a change indeed.
But why did these two boys get more and more excited the more they listened?
"Now, do you two still want to tame these two wild dragons?" Viserys could only ask, seeing this situation.
"Of course." Daeron said without hesitation.
"Targaryens are also true dragons. What the Varezes can do, there's no reason we can't."
