As a dignified prince, Arthur had no difficulty finding a ship, and when the morning sun rose, a merchant ship that could carry the prince south to Dorne appeared in the port of the Blackwater River.

But Arthur hadn't boarded the ship yet.

Daenerys rode the dragon and said, "Arthur, when you get to Dorne, will you leave Westeros directly?"

Arthur nodded, "What's wrong?"

The silver-haired queen stepped down from the dragon's back and asked with a smile, "Aren't you going to Old Town to bring Natalie Gilbert with you?"

"Natalie?"

Women are jealous, and the Dragon Queen, as her fiancée, why did she let herself find a lover for no reason?

The reluctance to participate in those intrigues does not mean that Arthur is stupid.

"You want the help of the Hightower family in the old town?"

"Yes. Daenerys said calmly.

After taking care of the affairs, Varian, who came to the dock to see off his brother, hurriedly shouted: "Can you send me back by the way?"

Daenerys frowned, "Back to Arryn Valley?"

Varian: "Inconvenient?"

Anyway, he also brought people over, and it was not good to have one more Divine Loran in King's Landing, the Dragon Queen nodded without hesitation: "Yes." ”

Varian on his way north has dropped by.

You can fly on a dragon, and Arthur doesn't want to waste time on a boat: "Then let's go." ”

After the Battle of Winter.

Perhaps it was the divine power of the Lord of Light, the black dragon's size has grown a little more, and the power contained in his body has also become stronger.

Before noon, Drogon led the crowd across Westeros to the Old Town.

As the largest port in Westeros, one of the five major cities, the old town has lost nearly seventy percent of its population, and the economy is depressed, and it has completely lost its former prosperity.

The members of the Hightower family in the Tower of Heaven were soon reported by the soldiers and immediately ran to entertain the Dragon Queen and the two Holy Lords.

Surviving the frenzied onslaught of strangers and ghouls, the old man of the old town is very strong even at an advanced age: "Queen Daenerys, His Royal Highness Arthur, His Highness Varian, we have ordered someone to prepare a banquet, please move to the reception hall." ”

Feel the warmth of the Hightower family.

Daenerys, Arthur, and Varian quickly made their way into the reception hall of the Tower of Babel and sat down.

"Lord Layton, what's going on in Old Town right now?" Daenerys asked.

Leighton Hightower sighed: "It's not good, at least ten years of recuperation, before the old town can regain its original prosperity." ”

Varian asked, "Have you ever considered going to Essos to buy slaves?"

"I've bought hundreds, but the slave owners of Essos are trying to extort us, and it costs a lot of money to buy slaves. Old Weng Layton said helplessly.

Daenerys frowned, "So, Old Town still hasn't fully resumed production?"

Leighton: "Yes. ”

Hearing this, Varian groaned and said straight to the point: "So if we Holy Loren continue to wage war with Dorag, which side will Hightower stand on?"

"Will the civil war continue?"

"But we can't afford to take part in any war"

Hearing this, the family tower fort was almost breached by strangers and ghouls, and everyone in the Hightower family, who had suffered heavy losses, looked a little unsightly.

Layton took a deep breath, looked at Arthur on the side, and said in a deep voice: "If Your Highness needs the Hightower family, we will send the only remaining soldiers to fight for Your Highness!"

"Fighting for Arthur?" Varian was a little speechless.

Arthur shook his head and said to the old Honlayton and the Hightowers, "I will not be involved in this civil war, and I plan to leave Westeros. ”

Daenerys then said, "Arthur doesn't want the Iron Throne, I'm his fiancée, are you Hightower willing to assist me in becoming the Empress of Westeros?"

Varian smiled, "Daenerys, it's not interesting for you to say that. ”

Hearing this, the Lord of the Old Town and the family members exchanged glances and immediately made a decision: "I'm sorry, Queen Daenerys, Your Highness, our Hightower family is loyal to His Highness Arthur. ”

Daenerys immediately said, "Yes, but you can't favor Divine Loran!"

Varian also said, "You can't help Daenerys secretly. ”

Hearing what the two men said, Leighton Hightower did not speak, but looked at the prince they had chosen to be loyal to, with Arthur's horse head in sight.

Arthur smiled wryly: "Just keep the Hightowers neutral. ”

Daenerys, who heard this, pondered for a moment, thinking that Hightower was loyal to her fiancé and promised to remain neutral and not favor Saint Lorain, so she nodded in agreement: "Yes." ”

Knowing that the Dragon Queen had recruited mercenaries across the Narrow Sea, and that Westeros, which was devastated, had no population to recruit soldiers to form an army, and did not have the support of the Hightower family, Varian was very calm and not in a hurry at all: "No problem. ”

"Then Your Highness will go to Essos next?" asked Layton.

Arthur shook his head: "Go to Dorne first, and then contact the Iron Fleet to leave Westeros together, as for whether or not to go to Essos, it has not been decided." ”

Layton looked thoughtful: "Iron Fleet?"

Varian explained, "Yes, Euron Greyjoy is dead, Asha Greyjoy has returned to the Iron Islands for the Electoral, and the Drowned Priest has obtained an oracle to cooperate with Arthur. ”

"I wonder what His Highness needs the Hightower family to do?"

The old town, where it is recuperating and recuperating, needs to be on guard against pirate attacks.

The Iron Fleet had not been damaged in the Battle of Winter, the pirates' strength was relatively intact, and the Old Town could be the target of their plunder at any time, and the prince was going to leave Westeros with them, and Layton's eyes lit up with joy.

Arthur thought for a moment and said, "I think we need some supplies for the voyage." ”

"And, I'll take Natalie away. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Natalie Gilbert, who was sitting quietly on the other side, and made her stunned and then ecstatic.

Loyal to such a prince who has no desires and wants nothing to come forward in every crisis, but does not mention anything in return, the Hightower family is undoubtedly very lucky.

Voyage supplies only.

With a wave of his hand, Layton asked the Hightower family to prepare for the prince.

Take Natalie with him and count his wealth in Old Town, Arthur will not stay in Old Town, and when he gets on the back of the dragon, he will first send Varian to Erin Valley and then transfer to Dorne.

Under the cover of night.

The dragon's shadow swept through central Westeros from west to east, illuminated by golden light.

In the Eagle's Nest City, a wake-up call sounds.

The vigilant Robert, Barristan and others ran out to check the situation as soon as possible.

Looking at Varian, the second son who came down from the dragon's back, and Daenerys had no intention of making a move, the grumpy Robert snorted coldly, and turned back to the castle to sleep.

The youngest son is on the back of a dragon, and even if he really wants to deal with Daenerys before the war, it is difficult to start.

Seeing Varian go back, Daenerys asked the black dragon to leave immediately, and Ambrosius hurriedly spoke: "Your Majesty, let's take Princess Shireen and leave together." ”

"Princess Shireen?"

Hearing the old wizard's words, the Dragon Queen suddenly stopped her movements, a little moved.

After all, Stannis sacrificed his life to the sword, and Shireen lost her father because of her.

Robert, who had not returned to the castle, was not happy.

Shireen is the only daughter of her brother Stannis and her only niece, so why should she be taken away by the enemy?

"No way!"

Seeing Robert's objection, as Arthur's fiancée and not a member of the Divine Loren family, Daenerys couldn't force it, but said, "Then you have to treat Princess Shireen well." ”

The irascible Robert snorted coldly: "You don't need to say more about this!"

Ambrosius shook his head, stepped off the dragon's back, and said bitterly: "Your Majesty, Queen Daenerys, the war will continue. ”

"Princess Shireen should go to a more peaceful place to grow up. ”

Daenerys, who heard this, thought for a moment and nodded, "I agree with that. ”

Ambrosius: "No, Queen Daenerys, I mean for His Highness Arthur to take Princess Shireen out of Westeros. ”

"Let Arthur take Shireen away?" Robert frowned at the people around him, "Varian, Sir Barristan, what do you think?"

Varian: "I think that's a good idea. ”

Knowing the shortage of people in Eagle's Nest City, Barristan also said: "Your Majesty, we really don't have anyone to take care of and teach Princess Shireen. ”

"Okay. Robert calmed down and thought for a moment, agreed with what the old wizard said, and then glared at the youngest son on the dragon's back: "Take care of Shireen for me!"

Arthur: "I will." ”

Ambrosius soon entered the Eagle's Nest and brought Princess Shireen and Guinevera out, and when they saw Miss Windsor, Robert and Varian immediately looked at each other, and they all showed that Arthur was finally about to grow up.

Arthur: "Ambrosius, we're going straight south to Dorne, not along with Guinevia's house"

Hearing the prince's words, the old wizard shook his head: "Your Highness, Miss Guinevera swears to serve the Holy Light. ”

Alonsos smiled bitterly when he heard this: "That's true, but Your Highness is leaving Westeros, and Miss Guinevera is willing to follow us?"

"I do!"

Guinevia was resolute.

"Then come up. ”

Seeing this, Daenerys raised her eyebrows, looked at her fiancé beside her, and asked, "Why don't we go back to King's Landing first, and then go to Dorne in a few days?"

Arthur: "You don't need to be at ease with business, I won't bother"

"Wouldn't bother. Seeing that the prince was a little deflated, Daenerys chuckled, "You're my fiancé." ”

"Ahem, Shireen come up, we're going to Dorne. ”

Flew continuously all night without stopping.

The moon sets and the sun rises, and against the high but not hot sun, and the cool breeze of late winter, everyone finally arrives at the palace of flowing water in Dorne.

In fact, when Zhuo Geng flew over the Imperial Domain, the Dragon Queen wanted everyone to rest in King's Landing for one night.

But no matter what Daenerys said, Arthur did not agree to her proposal, insisting that the Black Dragon continue to Dorne, the southernmost part of Westeros.

As ordinary people, Natalie, Guinevia, and Shireen are all tired.

So much so that when they came down from the dragon, they asked Nemelia and Terenne to arrange a room to rest immediately.

Everyone woke up from a comfortable sleep, and the sun had been setting for a long time.

Compared to the valleys, royal realms, and riverlands infested by strangers and ghouls, Dorne is a paradise!

Although the land is arid and barren, it remains.

Ordinary civilians in winter don't have a very good time, but no matter what, Dorne is much better than the north of Westeros, where there are thousands of miles of people who have died and it is difficult to even resume production, and the life of the nobles of Dorne is still colorful!

Sitting at the banquet carefully prepared by Ellalia Shad, everyone also saw the long-lost fruits and vegetables.

"I heard that Lord Robert is unwilling to give up the Iron Throne, Queen Daenerys has come to Dorne in the hope of gaining our support?"

After glancing at the Dragon Queen and the Three Princes of Divine Loraine, Ellaria asked casually.

Daenerys smiled and asked rhetorically, "Will Dorne support me?"

Hearing this, Ellaria shook her head: "I'm sorry Your Majesty, although I would love to help you claim the Iron Throne, Dorne also needs to recuperate. ”

"But I've heard that Jaime Lannister is going to be put to death, can the Queen leave him at our disposal?"

Daenerys hasn't forgotten Dorne's hatred for the Lannisters.

"The trial and punishment of the king's killer will be carried out by the scholars in King's Landing. ”

"I won't mention Tyrion Lannister, but what about Messira?" Ellaria still wanted to avenge the death of the Red Viper.

"No, I can't. ”

"She is innocent. ”

Before Daenerys could speak, Arthur said, "We promised Jaime Lannister to take care of Messira. ”

Hearing what the prince said, Ellaria shook her head silently, she knew very well who this prince was, and there was no point in proposing to kill the Lannisters to avenge Oberon.

Revenge is not just talking!

Ellaria took a thoughtful sip of her wine, then changed the subject and asked, "By the way, what good ideas does Your Highness have for helping Dorne develop?"

"There are a lot of good ideas, but people are favors, business is business, and we have to make it clear about interests. At the mention of this, Arthur suddenly smiled confidently.

Speaking of benefits, Ellaria, Namelia, and Trenee suddenly had burning eyes.

Daenerys also stared at her fiancé without blinking.

Arthur: "Ahem, do you know what Dorne has the most?"

"What is it?" everyone pondered in silence, but none of them thought of any good answer, and their curiosity was aroused.

Arthur smiled, "It's sand, I can turn sand into treasure." ”

Daenerys: "You're not kidding?"

"You haven't forgotten about paper and soap, have you?" said Arthur, "and like these two things, I'm going to build a glass factory here in Dorne. ”

Everyone suddenly looked at Natalie Gilbert, who was born in a small aristocracy and helped the prince manage the estate.

Daenerys raised an eyebrow, "Can't I join?"

Arthur: "Of course, but I'm a shareholder with technology, and the nobles of Dorne are invested in terms of hiring workers, factory sites, raw materials, etc., so I'm afraid you can only invest in shares." ”

Daenerys, who recaptured King's Landing, was suddenly depressed: "Actually, if you have the technology, we can also build a factory in King's Landing." ”

"Sand is everywhere!"

"To make glass, you need not only sand, but also other materials. Arthur shook his head and said, "Cooperate with you in King's Landing to make money, my father and Ryan can't talk about it." ”

"Also, I want to continue my research that I haven't done before, and Dorne is in a safe corner of the country, and there is no shortage of manpower, and the environment couldn't be better. ”
