Located at the southernmost tip of Westeros, Dornelands is probably the only region of the Seven Kingdoms that is tired of this long summer.

The drought and barrenness of the Dorne Lords were exacerbated by the persistent heat, where land water was worth as much as gold, and wells that could produce water were heavily guarded by the lords.

Located at the easternmost tip of the Dornland, the city of Halberd is one of the few cities that is not plagued by drought, thanks to the salty sea breeze and the green blood river.

It was also the residence of the Martell family, the rulers of Dorne.

Dimon Shad passed through the triple gate with heavy handles, and went around the curved walls to the Palazzo Vecchio, which resembled a sailing ship.

"I have something to see Her Royal Highness."

"Please follow me." The guard, apparently knowing the bastard from Grace City, nodded at Daemon and turned to lead the way.

Although Dorne has submitted to the Iron Throne, unlike the other dukes of the Six Kingdoms, the Martell family still calls themselves "Prince" and "Princess" in the tradition of the Roynars.

The princess in Damon's mouth is naturally the eldest daughter of the current Prince of Dorne-

Arrene Martell.

As the guards pushed open the dark brown door, Dimon smelled a strong scent of Miyi flowers.

He knew that it was Princess Arlene's favorite taste.

Walking into the spacious palace, Dimon saw at a glance the figure of Miaoman sitting on the carpet of Mill.

"Your Highness the Princess!" Damon suppressed his inner longing and restlessness and stepped forward to salute.

Arlene was looking at an old, yellowed book with a glass of red wine and a Sivas chessboard in her hand.

Hearing the voice, she put down the book in her hand and stretched out on the carpet, like a noble and elegant cat.

She had olive-colored skin, large black eyes, and black curly hair, and was dressed in a light lilac silk coat that hid her beautiful and plump body, but she could hide nothing.

Her facial features are not stunningly beautiful, but they have a strange magic that makes it impossible for any man to look away from them at the slightest glance.

"Damon? What are you doing here? ”

Arlene's voice was languid and magnetic, as if it could burrow into the ears of his listeners and scratch at his heart.

"I received a big message, so I'm the first to let you know!" Dimon looked at the princess in front of him with fascinate eyes.

"What's the news?" Aliane asked casually, propping her chin on one hand.

"Edric Dane and Aliria Dane were attacked by wild boars while they were out hunting, and unfortunately died!"

"Adric Dane, Allyria......" Aryanne didn't react at first, but soon, she remembered what the two names meant—

These are the last two heirs of the main branch of the Dain family in Starfall City!

Bang dang.

Arlene stood up from the carpet and accidentally knocked over the wine glass beside her, the red wine soaked the expensive carpet, but she didn't bother at all, but stared into Damon's eyes and asked:

"Are you sure?"

"Sure!" Dimon nodded vigorously, "It's my cousin's news from Black Harbor, and he won't joke about this kind of thing." And he also said in the letter that although there was no evidence, he still suspected that it was not a hunting accident, but an elaborate assassination! ”

"Assassination, of course!" Alian's eyes widened, "Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence, the main branch of the Dane family just happened to be the heir!" ”

She couldn't help but wander back and forth on the carpet, thinking, the bell tied to her ankle making a crisp sound.

It made Damon's heart even more restless.

He couldn't help but lower his voice and said:

"Your Highness, I suspect that Ulek Shad did this!"

"Ulek Shad? You're talking about the acting city lord of Starfall City, right? ”

"Yes."

"Does he have the guts and the ability?" Arlene didn't seem to agree with this, "And even if Edric and Aryria are both dead, it won't be his turn to have an illegitimate son to inherit Starfall City." The Dane family is not dead. ”

"But what if Urric could do something immortal and make everyone think he was worthy of the name of Dane? You know, he was the illegitimate son of the old Earl of Davos. Once the identity is legalized, Starfall City is his. ”

"Immortality?" Alen pursed her lips, seeming to be a little disdainful, "Can he still capture the ...... of the High Court?"

Before she could finish speaking, Alene remembered something she had heard recently, and turned her head suddenly:

"Do you think he's going to attack Hawksbill Island?"

"That's right!" Dimon said with a determined face, "I dare to guarantee in the name of the scorching sun, the halberd, and the seven gods that that Urek guy will definitely mobilize the soldiers and horses of Starfall City to attack Eagle's Beak Island!" ”

Alen looked at the flickering flames in the eyes of the bastard of Divine Grace City in front of her, and secretly nodded.

Indeed, as the same "Shad", Daemon must have empathized with Ulric's situation, and if the head of the Elion family was extinct at this time, Damon, the illegitimate son, would definitely be willing to do anything to inherit the City of Divine Grace.

Although the credit for the capture of Hawksbill Island is not large, it is worth the risk of Ulric.

Moreover, she had also heard that silver mines had been dug up in that part of Eagle's Beak Island, so it seemed that it was indeed a treasure of feng shui, and if it could be successfully defeated, perhaps her father would really ask the king for an edict to legalize his status as an illegitimate child in order to reward Ulric's merits.

"I don't think Ulric would dare to send someone to assassinate Adric and Ariria, and if the news of this kind of thing gets out, he'll be doomed. However, on another point, you are right. Urric will definitely attack Hawksbill Island. ”

"That's right! Your Highness the Princess! Dimon excitedly asked, "Should we participate in this battle?" ”

The reason why he brought this news for the first time was not only because he wanted to meet the princess who haunted him, but also because he knew very well that Princess Arlene was a person who was unwilling to be lonely.

She will not miss this war.

And he didn't want to continue to bear the surname of an illegitimate child for a long time.

"Of course." Arrene nodded.

"Then let's go and ask His Royal Highness for instructions! Ask him to send an army with us to Starfall. ”

But Alen shook her head slowly, and said:

"No, don't tell my father just yet. We went to Starfall City on our own. It's just an eagle's beak island, and the soldiers and horses of Starfall City are enough to capture it. ”

Dimon hesitated, but nodded and said, "Yes, Your Highness." ”

Arlene turned and walked out of the hall, what she didn't tell Damon was that she hadn't seen her father in a long time.

The ruler of Dorne was always fond of spending time in the garden of flowing water, and no one could easily see him except his younger brother, Prince Oberon.

Yes, not even his own daughter, Princess Arlene.

You know, the Martel family follows the tradition of the Royna, and the female heirs have the same inheritance rights as the male heirs, so as the eldest daughter of the prince, Princess Arrene is the future ruler of Dorne.

However, Alene stumbles upon a letter from her father to her brother Quentin, promising that he will become the ruler of Dorne.

This led Aliane to believe that her father was ready to strip her inheritance.

For this, she cried, despaired, and resented, but as the Martell family saying "Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken" (Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken), she chose to be strong after all.

She believes she can change her father's mind.

She just needs a chance to prove herself.

Prove yourself like the Royna warrior queen Namelia and have the ability to rule Dorne.
