#466 - Chapter 200 (Part 1)

Ben Plumm rushed over as soon as he heard the news about the dragon egg. For over two hundred years, the Targaryen family had a clear set of rules for managing dragon eggs. Dragon eggs were the treasures of the Targaryen family and were related to the future of the entire royal family. Therefore, protecting the safety of dragon eggs was an important responsibility of the Dragonkeepers.

A long time ago, Princess Aerea Targaryen secretly rode Balerion away. Although she later returned to King's Landing, she died from severe injuries. After that, King Jaehaerys I felt that the supervision of dragons and dragon eggs had to be strengthened.

So, in the 56th year after the Conquest, he formed a team specifically responsible for guarding dragons and dragon eggs. This was the Dragonkeepers.

The Dragonkeepers had a heavy responsibility and had historically prevented princes and princesses from approaching dragons secretly many times. Many princes and princesses who wanted to run away on dragons, as well as other members of the royal family who planned to steal dragon eggs, were all brought before the king by them.

Daenerys, filled with joy and anticipation, named her child Lilym Targaryen. This lovely little life showed extremely significant Valyrian characteristics from birth, as if foreshadowing that she would carry the family's glory and mission in the future.

As the good news of the princess's birth spread rapidly throughout Westeros like a spring breeze, various forces were shaken. People couldn't help but feel a trace of worry and fear—would this powerful Dragon Queen reignite the flames of war because of the birth of a new life? However, these worriers greatly underestimated Daenerys's maternal love for her child.

Faced with the ministers' suggestions to start a war, Daenerys refused without hesitation. She did not want to start a war when her daughter had just been born, as it would bring bad luck. Instead, she devoted all her time and energy to taking care of her child, hoping to give Lilym a peaceful and serene growth environment. As for state affairs, they were entirely handled by the important ministers of the Small Council.

Thus, time passed quietly in a peaceful and warm atmosphere. One day, the sun was shining brightly, and a gentle breeze was blowing. Liu Yuan was gently teasing the young Lilym with a loving face. At this time, the little one tightly hugged the dragon egg in her arms, which was as blue as the sky, and from time to time, she made tender '咿咿呀呀' sounds.

It was really surprising that none of the dragon eggs laid by the dark green Rhaegal showed a green hue. Two of them were as red as fire, one was as blue as a gemstone, one was as earthy yellow as the earth, and the last one was as white as snow. Lilym chose the blue dragon egg. According to the Targaryen family's custom, this dragon egg would accompany her in her swaddling clothes until it successfully hatched, so that the dragon and the owner's tacit understanding would reach the highest level.

Suddenly, a burst of rapid footsteps came from outside the door. Then a maid poked her head in, breaking the peaceful atmosphere.

When Liu Yuan saw this, he quickly made a silent gesture to her and carefully pointed outside the door, signaling her to keep quiet. The maid understood and nodded, then tiptoed out of the room. A serious-looking guard was standing outside the door. The guard quickly stepped forward and respectfully handed Liu Yuan a small paper roll in his hand, while lowering his voice and saying, 'Lord Galon, this is an urgent letter sent by the ravenry. It comes from Storm's End, and another copy has been sent to the Hall of Administration.'

Liu Yuan took the letter with a solemn expression, nodded slightly to show that he understood, and then ordered, 'I understand. I will go to the council hall after I prepare myself. Go and inform Prime Minister Tyrion and others not to leave yet.'

'Yes, sir!' the guard responded, then respectfully retreated slowly.

Liu Yuan took a deep breath and gently unfolded the letter in his hand. When his eyes touched the words on the letter, his expression suddenly changed, becoming extremely strange. It turned out that this mysterious secret letter was sent by a secret agent lurking in Storm's End. The content of the letter indicated that King's Landing had sent Grand Maester Pycelle as an envoy, and the purpose of this trip was obviously to try to reconcile the tense relationship between the two sides.

That old fox Pycelle is really unfathomable! Who would have thought that in just two days, he had successfully persuaded Aegon and Jon Connington. With his silver tongue, even the Martell family, who had always harbored animosity towards the Lannister family, was moved and finally decided to put aside past grievances for the time being.

In Storm's End, the important ministers of the Small Council unanimously agreed to sign a peace agreement with the Red Keep after a fierce discussion. However, unexpectedly, Arianne Martell stood up and declared on behalf of the Dornish that they would stop the war with the Red Keep.

The Dornish were able to put aside their deep hatred with the Lannister family, which was really not in line with Oberyn's consistent style. Liu Yuan couldn't help but frown, thinking to himself that this matter was probably far from as simple as it seemed.

At this time, Daenerys, who had been silently observing Liu Yuan, noticed the strange expression on his face and asked with concern, 'What's wrong? Has something changed?'

Liu Yuan smiled nonchalantly and replied casually, 'It's just some insignificant little things, nothing serious, don't worry about it.' Saying that, he handed the note in his hand to Daenerys.

Daenerys took the note suspiciously, looked at it carefully for a moment, and then disdainfully said, 'What a stupid choice, is this the level of Rhaegar's child? Illyrio and the others would also agree.' Without hesitation, she crumpled it into a ball and then threw it into the burning brazier.

The corners of Liu Yuan's mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile: 'It's just because of different positions, the objects they initially served were not you. What they really value is Aegon, the great prince Rhaegar who was replaced. Looking back then, when King's Landing had not yet fallen, your father sent your mother and your brothers and sisters to Dragonstone. In fact, he had already prepared to perish with King's Landing. In order to encourage the Dornish to devote themselves to the battle wholeheartedly, he deliberately left Ilia and Rhaegar's children. However, many followers of Rhaegar expressed extreme dissatisfaction with this, including Jon Connington.'

Hearing this, Daenerys couldn't help but frown, asking with a puzzled face: 'I really can't understand what kind of connection exists in this? After all, Jon Connington has already been exiled to Essos, so how can he intervene in the affairs of King's Landing?'

Liu Yuan saw that the little one in front of him was already soundly asleep, so he carefully tucked her in, then moved to Daenerys and sat down slowly. He gently held her soft little hand and explained softly: 'The successive Blackfyre rebellions caused countless nobles and lords to suffer. These people were forced to flee to Essos because of their defeat, and have since been displaced and homeless. However, regrettably, the last bloodline of the Blackfyre family has been completely cut off. Faced with such a dilemma, these surviving remnants urgently need a new banner to lead them back to the legendary Westeros. And Varys is the key figure who shoulders the mission of exploring the road ahead. At this time, your father also urgently needs someone who seems to have no background but has extraordinary talent.'
