Chapter 343: The Dragon Chaser’s Secret Talk
“My engagement with Princess Xirui needs to be confirmed as soon as possible, mother.” Darren took a breath.

“Are you so anxious?”

Queen Rhaena hesitated. She leaned against the ancient stone pillar of Dragonstone Castle and thought for a while. The third generation of the Vareses family was a typical one with more boys than girls. The two children of Rhaegon and Princess Elona were still babies. Only Princess Sirui was perfectly suitable in terms of age, appearance, and bloodline. But there was still a problem.

After Samantha Varese, will Varese allow another girl riding a dragon to marry into the royal family?

No one can be sure of that.

Queen Rhaena was not at all sure about this. After all, when she went to Dragon’s Nest to meet the beautiful little princess, she had clearly expressed her desire to tame the dragon.

“If you are worried about my inheritance, you need to do it as soon as possible.”

Darren said calmly.

“What did Prince Ringol say?”

“The king has no power to replace the heir, and there will be no problem with my inheritance rights. The only problem is that my illegitimate brother is an unstable factor.” Daeron said slowly: “The king hopes that he can become a buffer zone between the royal family and the Varese family. If I get too close to the Varese family, that’s when Damon will play a role.”

“Is there a solution?”

Rhaena looked at her son.

The sinful answer appeared uncontrollably in her mind.

kill him.

Kill that bastard so he can no longer be a threat to Daeron before Aegon allows him to ride his dragon.

Rhaena was certain that even if King Daeron had demanded that Aegon’s oath contain a clause prohibiting Daemon from taming dragons, Aegon would have found a way to circumvent it.

Daeron nodded, then shook his head: “Mother, we are not completely passive. Daemon has never gotten along with the king. On the contrary, my uncle said that according to the current situation and the opinions of several uncles, Daemon is very clear that he is just a tool of the king. This gives us an opportunity.”

“Can you grasp it?”

Darren said nothing.

He wasn’t sure.

Just try your best.

Blackfire brought Daemon not glory, but inner anxiety. He knew better than anyone what he was, and knew better than anyone that this sword was not a honor or status for him.

Rather, it symbolizes that the identity of that tool has finally found itself.

The huge Silver Dragon family, the queen full of resentment, and the crown prince who is conflicted about the throne.

Everyone will point their fingers at this beneficiary of the royal power, and he must think alone for a while.

Just when Damon was thinking about life.

The dragon chasers brought fine wine and delicious food.

After so many years, it feels really good to finally get what I wanted.

“Aegon, do you think Daemon will accept Blackfyre with peace of mind?” asked Dalis, “The Scourge of the Dothraki”, picking up the golden cup.

“Of course it’s impossible.” Aegon Sunfyre grew a thin beard and dyed it a dazzling blue. “He is very smart, but even if he knows what the black fire symbolizes, he can’t refuse. His father put him on the fire.”

“Dragons, Aegon, you know our goal is dragons. The only reason your father is being kept alive by us is because of dragons.” Dailisis whispered, “The fellows of Gray Island are trying to keep Prince Mellar alive. As long as he is alive, Jade Orinth, the fierce dragon, will never have a master.”

“We’ve waited all these years, what else are we going to have to wait for?”

Aegon Sunfyre was much calmer than the dragon chasers.

No matter how foolish King Aegon was, he would not open the dragons to the dragon chasers. Their only chance was chaos, and they could use the chaos to tame the dragons.

And when is the most chaotic?

Of course, it is when the old king dies and the new king is established.

Of course, it was when the new king was deserted by his friends and relatives and the country was in chaos.

“Aegon, we can’t delay any longer.” Dalisis said seriously, “The sooner we do it, the greater our chances of success. The Vareses family has been secretly infiltrating the Senate through golden politics. The Tiger Party has already lost one-fifth of its seats. If this continues, the Tiger Party will lack seats in the Generals’ Council. This is a terrifying thing. Without the support of the Tiger Party, our chances of success will no longer exist.”

“I know, I know, you don’t need to tell me.” Aegon Sunfire waved his hand: “But where is the chance now? The king will create a chance for Daemon to tame the dragon after he takes Daemon back, but what about us? We are not in the king’s plan.” “Unless the king dies after the dragon taming is completed.”

A dragon chaser whispered.

“Do you have any idea?”

The dragon chaser nodded slightly. “The Varese family is not the only one that has inherited the secrets of magic. Although we are weak, as long as we are given a chance, with the king’s physical fitness, it is easy to make him die naturally.”

“hope so.”

Aegon Sunfyre handed him a glass of wine. “Do not mention this to Daemon.”

“nature.”

The dragon chaser whispered.

Damon’s tent.

He stared blankly at the Valyrian steel sword before him.

Once upon a time, I did dream of wearing a conqueror’s armor and holding a conqueror’s steel sword.

But when he actually picked up the sword, he felt something was wrong.

He had no way of controlling what was hidden behind the sword.

That is royal power, the cradle of conspiracy and intrigue.

It is also the root cause of unrest.

He has no control.

For a moment, he actually thought of returning the sword to his father, the king.

But it’s obviously impossible.

“Damon, stop worrying.”

It was the voice of Trystane, the dragonborn who claimed to be the son of Jacaerys Vareses and had always been Daemon’s friend and adviser.

“The king gave you this sword. Don’t you understand what the king meant? You can’t escape.”

Trystane sat down next to his friend. “All you can do is accept and face it. You have to think about how to face the crown prince and queen, the great nobles of the kingdom, Aegon Sunfyre and those behind him when you return to King’s Landing, instead of thinking about the pros and cons now.”

“I understand. Thank you, Trystane.”

Damon looked outside the tent.

He had never regretted having dragon blood flowing in his body as much as he did now.

“I’ll give you a piece of advice, my friend.” Trystane suddenly became serious: “If you want to live a peaceful life, learn from Benson or Prince Aemon the Dragon Rider. Be a loyal dog who is impartial and unbiased.”

“But my life is destined to be restless”

Damon is still very self-aware.

“Then face it, we will always stand by your side.” Tristan said with a smile.

Dragon’s Nest City.

The hall was gloomy, the lights flickering but not bringing enough light.

But in front of Xirui, even if the lights are not on, the whole hall can be as bright as day.

She is so beautiful.

With silver hair, purple eyes, and perfect Valyrian looks, she inherited her mother’s beauty and her father’s Valyrian traits, making her the perfect Valyrian Dragon King girl.

“Now it’s time for you to decide, Xirui.”
