"Since it involved two other factions, we didn't dare to act rashly. Rhaenys stayed there to continue monitoring the movements of the Three Daughters Kingdom fleet and the Stepstones pirates, while I returned first to consult the King on the matter."
King Jaehaerys looked at Daemon, who usually liked to act arrogantly and impulsively, yet had considered everything thoroughly in handling this matter. He was very pleased and praised him repeatedly,
"Hmm, you handled this matter very correctly!"
"Now that our House Targaryen's Dragons are increasing day by day, I'm afraid the Nine Free Trade City States are already deeply worried."
"If we act too strongly and rudely, it will easily displease them and cause them to unite against us."
"For now, you just need to closely monitor the movements of both sides. Since the Three Daughters Kingdom has decided to act against the Stepstones, they will certainly uproot the pirates who have been entrenched there for many years."
"The elimination of those pirates in the Stepstones will also benefit the Seven Kingdoms' merchant fleets. At that time, we can then demand Mond Hightower and others from the Three Daughters Kingdom."
"Hmm, understood!"
Daemon responded softly. In fact, according to his own personality, he wanted to directly ride a Dragon in and capture the people.
At this moment, Daniella spoke,
"When the Three Daughters Kingdom completely controls the Stepstones, it may not necessarily be a good thing for the Seven Kingdoms."
"However, for now, observing their struggle from the sidelines is indeed the best choice."
Daniella's words made Jaehaerys reconsider seriously. For a moment, everyone just focused on their breakfast, and the scene immediately quieted down.
"Oh, by the way, Braavos dared to send Faceless Men to assassinate Daniella this time. We can't just let this go."
Daemon suddenly spoke again, somewhat indignantly,
"If the Sea King of Braavos cannot give us a perfect explanation, I don't mind riding Caraxes to burn the entire Sea King's Palace and the House of Black and White to ashes."
Mentioning this, King Jaehaerys's expression also turned very grim.
"This matter will certainly not be easily dismissed, but for now, we should first deal with the Hightower Family's affairs. Let's resolve the internal conflicts of the Seven Kingdoms first, and then we will settle accounts with Braavos!"
It was clear that King Jaehaerys had already accumulated a lot of anger towards Braavos. After the Hightower Family's matter was resolved, the Old King would definitely not let Braavos off easily.
Because Miss Farman of Fair Isle selling Dreamfire's three Dragon Eggs to the Sea King of Braavos had already infuriated Jaehaerys. Although at that time the Sea King exempted House Targaryen from the debt they owed the Iron Bank for building King's Landing.
But this matter had always been a thorn in the Old King's heart. Now, they even dared to send four Faceless Men at once to assassinate a Targaryen Royal Family princess. This undoubtedly caused King Jaehaerys's old and new grudges against Braavos to erupt completely.
After breakfast, Daniella took Laila, riding Dreamfire, Aposos, and Simoros, and returned to Dragonstone first.
She first placed Laila at the Holy Flame Tower in Dragonstone, preparing the items needed for this trip. Daniella herself, riding Dreamfire, rushed towards the Dragon's lair where Urax resided in her vision.
The Dragon's lair in Dragonstone's Dragonmont was extremely complex. Although the rocks of Dragonmont were sturdy, the Dragons residing there would often carve out new caves themselves. Daniella spent a great deal of effort to find the cave where Urax resided in her vision.
Upon entering the depths of the Dragon's lair, she indeed saw a large area of rocks that had been calcified into black obsidian-like material by Dragonflame.
"Dracarys!"
Dreamfire's blue-black Dragonflame quickly turned the rock into a semi-molten state, and then Daniella had Dreamfire extend his Dragon claws to search beneath the semi-molten rock.
Before long, four exquisite Dragon Eggs that had already become fossils were found beneath: one dark green, one golden yellow, one sky blue, and one pinkish-purple, all very beautiful Dragon Eggs.
Daniella carefully placed the Dragon Eggs on a nearby rock, gently stroking them and sensing their condition. Unfortunately, although the magic within these Dragon Eggs was extremely concentrated, it was very dormant.
Moreover, the Dragon Eggs' outer shells had begun to show a tendency to merge with the surrounding rocks, with many protrusions growing on the four Dragon Eggs. Daniella felt that if she hadn't discovered them in time, these Dragon Eggs would probably have slowly merged with the rocks here.
Given this situation, it would likely take a lot of time to hatch them.
After the temperature on the Dragon Eggs cooled down, Daniella quickly sent them to the Dragon Eggs hatching room in the Cremation Tower. The defenses of the Cremation Tower had now fully returned to normal, and the Mastiffs and Peeling Knights had already moved into the rooms below the Cremation Tower.
Around the Cremation Tower, temples had also been built. Today, the Dragon Miraxis was performing the cremation task on the pyre. The Dragon immediately responded upon seeing Dreamfire in the sky.
After only a dozen days, Miraxis's size had grown considerably. It seemed that the Weirwood tree had indeed helped Miraxis a lot.
After settling the Dragon Eggs, Daniella summoned Xiao Bellerion and Amoros. This time, Daniella planned to take all her Dragons to Oldtown, hoping the Hightower Family wouldn't give her an opportunity to breathe Dragonflame without a word.
Commanding nine Dragons, Daniella returned to Dragonstone with great momentum and saw her mother Emma and sister Rhaenyra. She entrusted Rhaenyra with the cremation tasks at the pyre while she was away, asking for her and Syrax's help.
Rhaenyra readily agreed, as she and Emma had also received news of the Hightower Family hiring Faceless Men to assassinate Daniella. This made them both extremely displeased, one could even say resentful, towards the Hightower Family.
They never expected that this seemingly harmless family would not only send people to steal three Dragon Eggs from House Targaryen but also hire Faceless Men to assassinate Daniella.
Now that Daniella was personally going to Oldtown to seek justice, although they couldn't help much, they were very willing to alleviate some of Daniella's worries.
Meanwhile, Laila had also prepared the items to be carried. There were quite a few things, and Daniella tied them all onto Amoros's Dragon saddle.
Because Daniella's main forces had all gone to Tarth Island, Daniella planned to meet up with her subordinates there first and dispatch some people from there to Oldtown.
After everything was ready, Daniella commanded the nine Dragons and flew majestically towards Tarth Island.
