Chapter 206 - Chapter 204: The Fate of Vermax*

*

"Father, what are you doing?" Aegon huddled nervously in the carriage, not daring to come out. Just after he promised Viserys he would tame Vermax, Viserys suddenly stopped the carriage, got out on his own, and looked coldly at his eldest son.

"Get out," Viserys said expressionlessly. "Since you promised me you'd tame Vermax, how can you do it without seeing a dragon?" With that, he raised his hand, and the surrounding white-armored soldiers stepped back, clearing an open space. Igaras, who had been circling above the convoy, slowly descended, glancing disdainfully at Aegon, then affectionately nuzzled Viserys with his horn.

"Vermax is at least twice as big as Igaras," Viserys said softly, stroking his companion's scales. "Tame him, and at least no one will babble about your troublesome private behavior. Seven Hells, three… no, counting those few, six in total. How did you do it?"

Aegon cautiously climbed out of the carriage.

Father, you think too highly of me.

It's not about the six bastards, but about taming a dragon.

Among the siblings, 13-year-old Alysanne, 7-year-old Ilion, and 5-year-old Maegor were not old enough to tame a dragon. Viserys hoped they could tame the great dragons in the Dragonpit of King's Landing, but unfortunately.

They failed.

Aegon didn't even have enough courage to approach Syrax. Brave Aemon challenged Caraxes, but unfortunately, he also failed and even accidentally injured his leg, still limping slightly. As for Naerys…

My cowardly sister, she only likes to follow my annoying brother around. As for dragons, haha, the neighing of a warhorse can scare that coward, let alone a dragon.

Aegon couldn't help but mock his sister in his heart, but still tried to appear obedient in front of his father: "I understand, I understand, Father."

"You understand nothing," Viserys said impatiently. "That's your uncle, the King's dragon." Mentioning his brother, Viserys couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Big Brother, I'm sorry. For the Targaryen family, and for my foolish, uncontrollable bastard son, I can only trouble your dragon.

Departing earlier than Viserys's carriage convoy was the King and Queen's convoy.

King Aegon's energy was gradually declining, but he was still the wise King who handled countless affairs and made his subjects extremely satisfied. Stormcloud and Candlelight slowly circled above the convoy. They were with their children, so they naturally couldn't fly directly to Dragon Nest City on their dragons.

Sixteen-year-old Daeron had never been a well-behaved child since he was young. Compared to the lessons taught by the Scholar, he loved the sword and shield in the training ground more. Compared to riding and archery, he preferred to lie outside the Dragonpit and watch the dragons' lives.

He also wanted to have his own dragon.

Unfortunately, he had previously tried to secretly tame Caraxes, but that irritable red dragon rejected him. If Father and Mother hadn't arrived in time and Candlelight hadn't used his tentacles to stop Caraxes, that dragon would probably have left permanent marks on him.

But his love for dragons did not diminish at all.

"Brother, honestly, do you want to try Vermax?" His scrawny brother, Rhaegar, urged his brother, who had just been bragging. Daeron had ended his squire service a year ago and returned to King's Landing.

"Haha, Vermax is too small," Daeron chuckled twice, then thought. "In the Dragonpit of Dragon Nest City, only Vermithor, Silverwing, Shadow Nightmare, Arrax, and Syrax are worth me conquering!"

"You're just bragging," Rhaegar pouted. He was prevented from taming dragons by King Aegon because he hadn't reached the safe age for taming dragons. "Are there no other dragons in the Dragonpit of King's Landing that you fancy?"

"Yes, Caraxes, and Dreamfyre…" Daeron's mood suddenly dropped: "But Caraxes rejected me, Dreamfyre, Dreamfyre!" Daeron suddenly realized: "Rhaegar, you study better than me, is Dreamfyre the oldest dragon now?!"

"Yes," Rhaegar scratched his head: "But he's not the biggest, Brother. The big dragons are all with Grandfather Dragonzel. Oh, I heard there are two big dragons on Dragonstone. One of them is called… Sheepstealer, I think. He's also a big dragon no less powerful than Caraxes."

Daeron's expression immediately brightened. "That's great, Rhaegar, how about we go to Dragonstone to tame dragons together after this family banquet?"

"It's a deal!" Rhaegar was overjoyed. He had been waiting for this. If he brought Daeron, their parents would definitely pay more attention, and perhaps Grandfather and their uncles would also ride dragons to help, making their dragon taming almost certain to succeed. He heard that when his uncles tamed dragons, Uncle Rhaegor, and even Grandfather, would bring their dragons to assist, so wouldn't it definitely succeed?

Rhaegar had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

He had long set his sights on Seasmoke, beautiful, magnificent, and very large.

More beautiful than most dragons in the Dragonpit, and he had participated in wars.

He was simply perfect.

At this moment, Dragon Nest City, Twin Towers, the Children's Hall.

"What!" Jacaerys slammed the table, making the whole table shake, causing his siblings nearby to tremble.

"Big Brother, how can this be?" Jacaerys looked at Rhaegor, who was sitting at the head of the table. "Vermax lives in the Dragonpit of Dragon Nest City. Even if we're going to tame a dragon, we should be the first. Why can the Targaryen family just say hello and come tame Vermax?"

Serena nodded: "Big Brother, Little Jace is right. Vermax has lived in the Dragonpit of Dragon Nest City for so many years. If we hadn't all established close ties with our dragons, we might have tamed him long ago. How could Father agree to such an outrageous thing?"

"I absolutely will not allow it," Jacaerys stood up without hesitation. "Big Brother, if we don't react to the Targaryen family's dragon taming, what if they want to tame Vermithor in the future? What if they want to tame Silverwing? Are we supposed to provide them too?"

Dan remained silent, but his gaze told Rhaegor that he also disapproved of the Varezes family directly allowing Vermax to be tamed by the Targaryen family.

"Everyone," Rhaegor's voice was not loud, but his younger siblings all listened attentively.

"This is something Father promised. Do you want Father to break his word?"

"That's not what I meant…" Jacaerys slowly sat down.

"Besides, whether Vermax will accept the Targaryen family is another matter."

Rhaegor slowly said: "Also, everyone, don't forget, Candlelight is still with the Targaryen family."
