#232 - Chapter 6 Return to the City

Little Griff, now, had finally become his true self again—Aegon Targaryen, son of Rhaegar Targaryen. The fact that he could step into the sunlight was actually the result of various forces weighing the pros and cons. Viserys publicly acknowledged his identity, and thus gained the full support of the Ironborn remnants. Before Viserys had children of his own, Little Aegon naturally became the first in line to the throne, his status above Daenerys.

At this moment, Little Aegon gently draped a warm cloak over Jon Connington's shoulders, and said with concern, "The weather is getting colder, you must take care of yourself!"

Jon Connington looked at Little Aegon with gratitude, a gratified smile blooming on his face: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness, don't worry. This old body of mine still has some strength left, and I can continue to fight for several years. I firmly believe that one day I will witness the Targaryen family rise again!" As he spoke, his eyes gleamed with firm and eager light.

Jon Connington frowned and said: "Originally, according to the original plan, you should have replaced Viserys to marry Arianne, but now time is tight! Analyzing from the current situation, neither Stannis nor Robb can compete with Tywin. If we continue to delay, once Tywin completely pacifies the Seven Kingdoms, we will have no chance of winning. Therefore, we must act in advance, and Viserys is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate. This is not only because of his indisputable identity, but more importantly, as early as many years ago, with the Sea Lord of Braavos as a witness, he had a marriage contract with the Martell family."

Little Aegon: "Actually, the success of restoring the Targaryen family, it doesn't matter who sits on the Iron Throne."

"No, you are the rightful heir of Rhaegar, I promised your father, vowing to put you on the throne. Viserys, he will give up the throne for you at the appropriate time," Jon Connington's tone was firm, his expression even a little grim.

At Shipbreaker Bay, a fleet was heading towards Storm's End. This was the Dornish reinforcements led by Oberyn Martell, consisting of more than ten thousand spearmen and one thousand light cavalry. This was the most the Martell family could muster in the shortest amount of time.

Oberyn Martell was still as unrestrained as ever, even on the ship, he did not care about the gazes of others, and passionately kissed his mistress Ellaria Sand. Although she was not extremely beautiful, her unique exotic style and sex appeal made her radiant and attracted everyone's attention.

Ellaria: "My dear, are we being too hasty in sending troops so hastily?"

Oberyn: "Hehe, this time Arianne acted on her own, and my brother is having a headache! It's not her fault, actually. To keep it secret, I personally went to Braavos to sign the marriage contract for her. I've been hiding it from her for so many years. I've turned down so many young talents from the Seven Kingdoms for her sake, and she's long been dissatisfied."

"Just because of this, you indulge her?"

Oberyn: "According to Dornish tradition, Arianne will be the next head of the family. Moreover, the Lannisters are our eternal enemies, and debts must be repaid. It's not just them who think that way. My sister's revenge must be avenged."

Under the moonlight, the outline of a castle could be seen in the distance, that was their destination, Storm's End.

————————

In the city of Highgarden, countless poultry and livestock were frightened, and even the guard dogs in the city lord's mansion whimpered with their heads in their paws. A black shadow slowly descended from the sky, and the flapping of dragon wings stirred up gusts of wind and dust. Leviathan stretched its neck, feeling that it would be awkward not to roar.

Liu Yuan saw what it was thinking and transmitted his voice: "Shut your mouth, what are you roaring about in the middle of the night? Go back to the dragon's lair and sleep." Leviathan seemed to understand Liu Yuan's words, it blinked its eyes, unwillingly retracted its head, and turned to fly back to the dragon's lair.

Liu Yuan watched it leave, picked up the sleeping Rickon, and turned to walk towards the city lord's mansion, where the lights were brightly lit and people were busy.

The soldiers on duty at the gate saluted Liu Yuan: "Welcome, Lord!"

Walking into the hall, he saw a group of subordinates who had hurriedly gotten up. Liu Yuan waved his hand at them: "I just got back, it was Leviathan who disturbed your good dreams, go back to rest! If there's anything, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Acting City Lord Roddy: "It's nothing, Lord, I'm old and don't need much sleep." The other subordinates didn't feel like sleeping either.

"Alright, send Rickon back to his room." Liu Yuan handed the Rickon in his arms to Nina. A group of people went to the conference room, Liu Yuan sat back on his lord's throne, and said to the people below: "You look like something's up! Speak."

Roddy reported: "I received a tip from King's Landing that former Minister of Finance Petyr Baelish was ordered to go to the Vale, prepare to marry Jon Arryn's widow Lysa Tully, and serve as Robin Arryn's guardian. Tyrion Lannister took over as Minister of Finance of the kingdom. Duke Mace Tyrell is preparing for war in King's Landing, the target is our Economic City. The other side has prepared 12,000 infantry, 1,600 light cavalry, and 2,000 reserve soldiers. It is expected to depart in the next three to five days."

Liu Yuan beckoned: "Just that many people, not to be feared. Next..."

Roddy: "Winterfell in the North has been conquered, it was Ramsay Snow of House Bolton who led the troops to take it. Ramsay released the news that the residents of the city, including Bran Stark and Maester Luwin, were killed by the Ironborn. The Ironborn occupying Winterfell were all executed, but our secret agents in the Winter Town reported that the people in the castle were killed by House Bolton, and Bran escaped north under the protection of servants. Also, Lord Hoster Tully, the governor of the Riverlands, passed away, and the funeral was held just yesterday. Robb and Lady Catelyn attended, and now Edmure Tully is the Duke of Riverrun."

Liu Yuan thought for a moment and said: "Tomorrow, release the news to the outside world, saying that Eddard Stark's two children, Sansa and Rickon, are in Highgarden, under my protection. Send someone to notify Robb, I will take Sansa and Rickon to find them in a while."

Roddy said: "Yes, Lord, I will arrange it. There is one more thing, the Mountain who was stationed at Harrenhal was defeated, and currently Roose Bolton is leading troops stationed there. We learned from the escaped population that Miss Arya once served as Tywin's wine server in the castle. However, after Tywin left, she also escaped, and her whereabouts are currently unknown."

Liu Yuan nodded, "Send someone to find Arya, let the 'Green Men' handle this, they are local snakes. Alright, it's getting late, go back and rest. Bic, you come with me."

"Yes, sir!" Everyone responded in unison.
