Game of Thrones: Holy Flame King

Chapter 497 The Princess and the Dragon Egg

King's Landing has three hills named after Aegon the Conqueror and his two queens.

On the Aegon Hills stands the Red Keep, on the top of the Visenya Hills is the Great Sept of Baelor, and on the Rhaenys Hills, there is a huge lair-like building called the Dragon's Lair.

It is the place where the Targaryen family used to raise dragons in captivity.

The dragon's lair was so huge that its bronze gates could have entered thirty knights on horseback abreast.

But during the bloody dragon dance, a "shepherd" who claimed to be a prophet led tens of thousands of crazy civilians into the dragon's lair and killed the four young dragons who stayed inside:

Sirikos, Mogul, Terek Hugh, Dreamfire.

Even the adult dragon Syracuse who came later was killed by the mob in the dragon's lair.

The terrible "Dragon Slaying" battle caused the dome of the Dragon's Lair to collapse, and now only the burnt and charred ruins remain.

"Four drakes killed by a mob, I can understand that. But Syrax...how did a mob without heavy weapons kill it?"

Walking among the ruins of the dragon's lair, Bruce Antalion asked curiously.

"The cause of Syracuse's death has always been a mystery." Sara Taly walked carefully among the charred rubble with her skirt lifted.

Seeing this, the young prince from Braavos stretched out his hand in a very gentlemanly manner.

Sara's pretty face flushed slightly, but she still helped her up.

Sara did not object to the marriage arranged by her brother.

Bruce's status is noble enough, and he looks good. In the past, an earl's daughter like her would not be able to compete with the son of the king of the sea.

But now it's different.

She is the sister of the King of the Seven Kingdoms.

Although there are still some differences between Tully and Caesar, the current Caesar family is too small. As the king's younger sister, she can certainly get enough attention and the status she deserves.

What's more, Sarah's father is still the Hand of the King.

"Some say Syrax was slain with an ax by Hob the Woodman, others that a knight with a Valyrian steel sword chopped off one of its wings, and a crossbow shot through its Eyes, and then the mob swarmed up and killed it. Others said that the 'shepherd' summoned the 'warrior', one of the seven gods, and cut off the dragon's head with a divine sword condensed from black mist."

Sarah Tully was walking, explaining the terrible battle that year, and she kept peeking at the prince beside her out of the corner of her eye.

Today is Bruce's last day in King's Landing, and tomorrow she will return to Braavos with the son of the sea king to complete the engagement.

So, taking this opportunity, Sara personally took her fiancé to visit the major attractions in King's Landing.

The Dragon Lair is naturally a place not to be missed. Although it has been damaged, and the giant dragon of the Caesar family is not placed here, no matter what, this ruin still has an important influence in the hearts of dragon admirers.

"Where are the Caesars' dragons now?" Bruce asked.

"On a mountain north of King's Landing, people deliver meat to them every day." Sarah said, "Cleopatra followed His Majesty to the Great Wall, so now there are only three dragons belonging to Queen Daenerys, and Viserion was also seriously injured and was unable to fly. The queen invited many bachelors and doctors to come. Although the trauma was healed, the golden dragon was still sluggish... Sigh, I don't know if it can recover..."

"Doesn't His Royal Highness Prince Octavian still have a red dragon?"

"That dragon is still very young, now it is kept in the Red Castle, and it is inseparable from His Royal Highness every day. Everyone said that the prince is destined to become Yaoyang's rider in the future. Oh, Yaoyang is the name of the red dragon, and His Majesty personally took it... "

Sara relentlessly told everything she knew.

Bruce listened patiently, asked a few questions from time to time, and quickly understood the situation of the dragon of the Caesar family.

Sarah was about to say something when she suddenly heard the whistling wind above her head.

When she raised her head, she saw a shadow appearing above the dragon's lair, covering the sunlight.

"It's Drogon and Rhaegal." Bruce immediately recognized the two dragons flying high in the sky.

"Ah! There's another one behind!" Sara exclaimed.

"That's Viserion, right?" Bruce looked at the last golden dragon in surprise, "Can it fly?"

"It's really Viserion!" Sarah waved her arms excitedly, "Bless the Seven Gods, it's all right! Great! It's healed!"

"Not necessarily..." Bruce noticed that the golden dragon seemed to be flying very slowly and unsteadily, "Viserion doesn't seem to be doing well..."

As soon as the words fell, I saw the golden dragon from the north wobbling in the air, and then rushed towards the dragon's lair.

"Get out of the way!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Bruce quickly threw Sarah beside him to the ground.

Sarah was completely frightened and stupid at the moment, she only felt the world spinning, the gravel under her feet was shaking, and the furnace-like hot wind swept along with the strong bloody smell, almost suffocating.

"Aw--"

Seeing Viserion struggling on the ground and neighing constantly, Sarah asked fearfully:

"It, what happened to it?"

"It seems to be in pain." Bruce helped Sarah up, and stepped back carefully to avoid being affected by the dragon's movements.

"It seems to be crawling south." Sara suddenly came to her senses. "It probably wanted to go to the Red Keep, but it was too seriously injured and fell halfway into the dragon's lair."

Bruce looked up to the south, and saw that Drogon and Rhaegal were indeed flying towards the Red Keep.

Neither of these guys seemed to realize that their brother had fallen.

Sarah became puzzled:

"What are these three dragons suddenly flying to the Red Keep? Looking for Queen Daenerys?"

Bruce didn't speak, but carefully led Sarah aside to avoid the crawling route of the golden dragon.

"We should call for help."

"Hmm." Sarah was about to leave with her fiancé, but suddenly her expression changed, she pointed at Viserion's lower abdomen and said, "Look, there seems to be something coming out of there!"

Only then did Bruce notice that the golden dragon's lower abdomen was continuously dripping liquid, which was extremely hot, and turned into steam as soon as it touched the ground.

Moreover, there seems to be an egg-shaped thing bubbling out.

"It's probably laying eggs!" Bruce's eyes burst out.

"Lay eggs?" Sara exclaimed, "Dragon eggs?"

"Yes." Bruce stopped in his tracks, staring at the dragon's lower abdomen.

Viserion noticed the two humans next to him, and let out a growl as a demonstration, but his voice seemed weak, revealing his own weakness.

I don't know if it's because it was seriously injured or because it took too much energy to lay eggs.

"Sarah," Bruce said, "Go get someone to help, I'm here to watch Viserion."

"Oh well!"

Sarah didn't suspect him, and hurriedly left the ruins of the dragon's lair, gathered the accompanying guards at the bottom of the Reynis Hill, and galloped towards the Red Castle on horseback.

"What? Queen Daenerys is in labor too?"

When she arrived at the Red Castle, she got another unexpected news.

"Also?" The captain of the guard noticed the words in the words of the princess in front of him, "Who else is giving birth?"

"Viserion!" Sarah said.

"The golden dragon?"

"Yes, let me know..." Sara also knew that it was not good to disturb Queen Daenerys at this time, "Notify Queen Margaery! I will go find my father."

"Yes, Your Highness."

When Sarah found Earl Randall Tarly in the Prime Minister's Tower, the other party was convening an imperial meeting to discuss arrangements for Queen Daenerys' delivery.

After learning that Viserion actually laid eggs at the same time, several ministers were a little dazed.

Earl Lucas Dayne was the first to react and said with a smile:

"The last time Queen Margaery gave birth, Cleopatra also gave birth to a dragon egg, so it is not surprising that Viserion and Queen Daenerys are now giving birth at the same time."

Earl Randall got up and said:

"I will go to the dragon's lair with Bachelor Coburn, and I will trouble you to take care of the queen."

Everyone naturally said yes.

"Lord Randall, let me go to the dragon's lair with you." Tyrion Lannister rubbed his hands excitedly, and said, "You know, I am very interested in the reproduction of dragons."

Earl Randall nodded, without saying anything, he strode out.

A group of people hurried to rush from the Red Castle to the Rhaenys Hill.

But when they came to the ruins of the dragon lair, they only saw the dying golden dragon lying on the ground.

"Where's Bruce Antalion?"

"He, he was still here just now..." Sarah looked around in confusion.

Maester Coburn came to the golden dragon to check its condition.

Tyrion also approached cautiously and asked:

"Has the dragon finished laying eggs?"

Cobain checked it, then turned around and said:

"Should have given birth to a dragon egg."

"Then why didn't you see the dragon egg?" Sarah hadn't reacted yet.

But Earl Landau immediately turned around and ordered to the accompanying attendants:

"Notify the capital garrison immediately, immediately close the seven gates of King's Landing, and everyone is strictly forbidden to go out! Then notify Baron Gavin Mander, and say that Bruce Antarion and a dragon egg are missing at the same time."

"yes!"

Seeing her father's serious appearance, Sara finally came to her senses, and her face turned pale:

"No, it won't...Bruce...he won't steal the dragon eggs..."

Earl Randall sighed secretly, patted his daughter on the shoulder, and said:

"Not everyone can resist such a temptation. But it's not your fault."

Tears welled up in Sarah's eyes.

Tyrion leaned over unsteadily, and said:

"I don't think it's necessarily Bruce's doing."

The brilliance suddenly appeared on Sarah's face:

"Lord Tyrion, why do you say that?"

"Dragon eggs are indeed very tempting." Tyrion explained, "but it may not be worth Bruce Antarion taking such a big risk to steal. You know, Aquaman's position in Braavos is unstable now, and we are in need." help. There is no reason to offend the Caesar family at this critical moment.

An unhatched dragon egg, in my opinion, should be inferior to the King of the Sea.

Not to mention that he had to prepare himself for Caesar's wrath in doing so. "

Earl Randall nodded slightly, and asked:

"Then who do you think stole the dragon egg?"

"It also took Bruce away!" Sara added, the girl who was in love had already identified her lover as a victim in her heart.

"It's hard to say." Tyrion shrugged, "Miss Sara, were there other people in Dragon's Lair at that time?"

"No." Sara shook her head. "Only Bruce and I were there, and then I went to the Red Keep to deliver a message, and he stayed alone to take care of Viserion. Could it be that someone else came to the Dragon's Lair later?"

University scholar Coburn said: "The dragon's lair has been abandoned for nearly a century since the death of the last dragon of the Targaryen family. There are no guards. It may be difficult to know who else is coming."

"It depends on Lord Gavin's 'little bird'." Tyrion said, "I hope he is no worse than Varys' dead spider."

Earl Randall did not answer this, but looked at the grand maester and asked:

"Lord Qyburn, how is Viserion?"

"It's very weak." Keben said, "Its injuries have not healed, and now it has given birth to dragon eggs... However, the vitality of the dragon has always been tenacious, I believe it can survive."

"Okay." Earl Randall ordered, "You bring some people here to look after Viserion. Let's go back to the Red Castle first."

Hearing this, Sarah was anxious: "Father, what about Bruce?"

Tyrion leisurely said:

"Miss Sara, don't worry, the whole of King's Landing is looking for your fiancé and dragon eggs. If the person who kidnapped him hasn't hatched a dragon and flew away, we will find him sooner or later."

Sarah nodded silently, and followed her father out of the dragon's lair with a heavy heart.

A group of people returned to the Red Castle and found that it had become a sea of ​​joy.

Drogon and Rhaegal circled and flew in the sky, hissing lightly from time to time.

Servants ran about the castle, shouting and shouting, spreading the good news:

"Her Majesty Queen Daenerys has given birth to a princess!"

"Her Majesty Queen Daenerys has given birth to a princess!"

...

Tyrion whistled softly, and said:

"I don't know if this little princess will cry out of anger when she learns that her dragon egg has been stolen."

Earl Randyll had long been used to this little Lannister dwarf's tongue-in-cheek talk, so he pretended not to hear what he said, and strode towards Maegor's Tower.

As soon as she entered the queen's bedroom, Margaret greeted her and asked:

"Lord Landao, I just heard that something happened at the Dragon's Cave?"

"Yes." Earl Randall nodded, and then told about the fact that Viserion might have given birth to a dragon egg, but it was stolen.

Of course, Bruce Antarion, the son of the sea king from Braavos, was also mentioned.

But he didn't directly say that this person stole the dragon egg.

"I have ordered someone to block King's Landing, and informed Lord Gavin to investigate. There should be results soon."

"Okay." Margaery nodded, as if she understood something, "Release the raven and tell His Majesty Caesar about this. Of course, don't forget to tell him that Daenerys gave birth to a daughter for him, Waiting for him to name it."

"yes."
