As soon as Princess Daenerys finished speaking, Dreamfire and Miraxis cooperated by simultaneously opening their mouths wide and roaring loudly at the three.
Although Miraxis was small, she was known among dragons for her loud voice. Currently, it seemed only the large-headed red dragon Simoros could rival her.
So, with their roars, the scorching air exhaled by the dragons almost made Sethly and the other two lose their balance, and Miraxis's high-pitched voice made their ears buzz uncontrollably.
Sethu, unable to bear the pressure, directly sat down on the ground, and immediately after, a large wet patch appeared beneath him.
Dreamfire, seemingly having developed some kind of phobia, immediately retreated a few steps upon seeing this. Miraxis, not understanding what was happening, also turned her head away in disgust after smelling a strange odor.
Although Sethly was desperately trying to appear calm, his trembling lips and hands could not deceive anyone.
"Pri... Princess! Kin-slaying is a grave sin in Westeros! Please... please don't be impulsive!"
"Whatever demands you have, just state them, and we will do our best to fulfill them."
Sevan was the only one of the three who appeared relatively calm. Although he usually preferred to wield a sword, it didn't mean he was a simple-minded brute.
Since Princess Daenerys had sent people to rescue him from severe Dragonflame burns, they naturally wouldn't harm them easily. So, facing the dragons' deterrence, he didn't feel much.
Daenerys took in all their reactions and had already made her judgment, so she spoke,
"From now on, I ask, and you answer. If you hesitate even once, I won't mind letting you taste the flavor of Dragonflame!"
"Kin-slaying is indeed a serious crime in Westeros, but punishing guilty relatives is not in that category. Moreover, I can roast you with Dragonflame without harming your lives."
Daenerys glanced at Sevan as she spoke. Sevan, who had barely survived the Dragonflame, couldn't help but twitch a few more times.
Sethu and Sethly also instantly turned pale, as they had witnessed Sevan's miserable state, and they truly didn't want to experience that kind of pain.
"Princess, just ask, we will tell you everything and hold nothing back!"
Sethly quickly patted his chest, assuring Daenerys, his eyes filled with sincerity, almost shouting: "Ask quickly, ask quickly! I'll tell you everything."
Seeing that the atmosphere was about right, Daenerys calmly began to inquire,
"Who sent you here?"
"What is your purpose in coming to Westeros?"
"Which families have been in contact with you? Are they related to Princess Senira's escape from Oldtown at that time?"
"Princess, our mother, Senira, sent us here. Because she received news that the Targaryen Royal Family might be holding a Crown Prince Election Council."
"So she sent us to test King Jaehaerys's attitude and also to help her fulfill the promise she made when she escaped."
"And the one who has been in contact with us is Viscount Cuy of Yangwu City. At that time, our mother, Princess Senira, first escaped from Oldtown to Cuy Town, and then took a ship to Lys."
"At that time, our mother promised that if they could arrange a ship to send her away from Westeros, she would repay them with a whole ship full of treasures."
"Since your main purpose this time is to repay a debt of gratitude, why did you boldly come to Dragonstone to steal a dragon?"
At this, Sethly looked at Sethu with resentment, and answered with great annoyance,
"It's because when we passed through Tyrosh, we heard the news that Princess Daenerys had subdued and bound the wild dragon Glutton on the beach."
"Relying on the fact that our respective fathers were originally Valyrian descendants, and now we also possess Targaryen Family blood, we wanted to try and see if we could also tame this dragon and become Dragon Knights."
At this point, Sethly's voice became lower and lower.
"We thought that if we could become Dragon Knights first, then we would have more confidence if we were to compete for the position of Crown Prince later."
Daenerys saw that his words were honest enough, so her tone softened a bit,
"Do you have any evidence of your dealings with Yangwu City?"
Although the Cuy family, which had now surfaced, was only a lackey family of the Hightower family, it was still good to cut off one of its arms first.
After all, compared to the Hightower family's other three vassals, the Cuy family had always followed the Hightower family's lead and was their most loyal hound.
Moreover, with the support of the Hightower family, they occupied the vast lands at the mouth of the Turbulent River, and their family wealth was considered upper-middle class among the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms.
"Yes, yes!"
As he spoke, Sethly took out several parchment secret letters from his Pregnant, each bearing the unique six yellow flower seal of Yangwu City.
Daenerys took the secret letters and quickly scanned them, her mood immediately improving,
"Very good! These few secret letters are enough!"
She quickly instructed the guards next to her,
"Bring paper and pen, and have Mr. Sethly write down everything he just said in his own hand."
However, Daenerys was not content with merely eliminating the Cuy family. So she secretly pondered how to maximize the involvement of the Hightower Family as well.
"Since the Cuy family's line has been completely exposed, as long as the people I sent to Oldtown to collect evidence can make this line inextricably linked to the Hightower family, it will be enough to give them a hard time!"
"Moreover, Daenerys did not expect that Princess Senira already knew about the Crown Prince Election Council at this time. Then it is clear that the Citadel will not escape responsibility this time either."
"After all, the matter of the Great Council was a private letter established by Prince Viserys and King Jaehaerys. Now, unlike in history, the news was not publicly announced shortly after Prince Baelon's death."
"Thus, the Cuy family and the Citadel will not be able to separate, and then the Hightower family, no matter what, will have committed the crime of lax supervision. Even if it can't cripple them this time, it can at least make them bleed heavily."
Just as Daenerys was secretly pondering, Sevan suddenly spoke,
"Princess, we received a piece of news when we passed through the Three Daughters Kingdom, which I think you might also be interested in."
"I heard that the Three Daughters Kingdom has already formed a joint fleet to clear the pirates from the Stepstones!"
"What?"
Daenerys was indeed very surprised to hear this,
"Has the Three Daughters Kingdom already moved on the Stepstones so early? Or have some things in this world already changed?"
"If that's the case, then let's give the Three Daughters Kingdom a lesson first!"
"Thank you, Sevan, this is indeed a very interesting piece of news for me!"
By this time, Sethly had already written down his confession, and Daenerys, after reading it, said with satisfaction,
"As long as you cooperate well, I will not make things difficult for you. When the time is right, I will naturally let you return to Volantis."
