However, Redd didn't want to continue arguing with them at all. He interrupted mercilessly, "I have already made the conditions. Either accept it or get out!"
These words made several people present extremely angry. When Rhaenyra saw this, she wanted to retort, but her mouth was quickly covered by Rhaenys behind her.
Rhaenys is obviously worried that Rhaenyra will say something inappropriate impulsively, which will completely detonate the current tense atmosphere.
Viserys knew very well that this conversation could no longer continue and he needed time to think carefully.
So, he decisively decided to leave with a few people accompanying him.
On the way back, the surroundings were quiet and there was no one else around.
At this moment, Daemon suddenly spoke:
"Maybe we can make use of the Wights army hidden in Haunted Forest. After all, the White Walkers came to hunt down Redd."
Viserys turned his head sharply, and his eyes instantly became fierce. He grabbed Daemon's collar tightly and warned with a serious face:
"Don't make such crooked ideas! If something happens, even if you are my brother, I will never show mercy!"
Rhaenys, who was standing aside, also warned Daemon: "Don't play with such little tricks, it will kill all of us!"
Daemon completely did not expect that his proposal would not receive support from anyone.
In his vision, even if Redd and his three dragons were lost, they should be able to defend the Wall with the four dragons they owned.
However, looking at his brother Viserys's fierce expression, Daemon still did not dare to express his true inner thoughts.
He quickly changed the subject and asked cautiously, "Are you going to agree to his request?"
Weisei Lys released his hand holding Daemon's collar and was silent for a while before slowly speaking:
"It's okay to agree to him. Dragonstone is nothing more than an island except for its symbolic meaning."
There was a hint of helplessness in his words, as if he had made a concession after weighing the pros and cons.
Rhaenys on the side added in a timely manner, "Think of Dragonstone as Rhaenyra's dowry. In name, Dragonstone still belongs to House Targaryen."
Her voice was soft, but with an unquestionable firmness.
Rhaenyra stood quietly aside, as her future life was decided like this. Although she did not speak, the seeds of resistance in her heart sprouted quietly.
She was smart and thought of her mother Emma's words of admonition before. She knew that now she did not have the strength to resist and control her own destiny, so she decided to wait for a suitable opportunity.
Redd was no longer in a good mood. He glanced at the sky and was about to go back inside to rest for a while. At this time, the old boy, Elad, came over.
When they meet, they directly state their purpose. "I hope you can come to the banquet tonight."
Redd thought of Viserys, whom he had just met, and subconsciously replied, "It's quite a grand ceremony and there's a welcome party."
There was a hint of displeasure in his tone, and he was obviously not interested in these red tapes.
Elad smiled. He knew Redd's character and didn't mind his straightforwardness:
"This is not only a welcome meeting, but also a good opportunity to communicate with each other.
And, I'm sure, you'll meet some interesting people there."
Redd frowned. He didn't like this kind of occasion, but Elad's words made him a little curious.
He wanted to know who this "interesting person" could be and whether it would really interest him.
He pondered for a moment and finally nodded, "Okay, I will go."
Elard nodded with satisfaction. He knew that although Redd had an aloof character, he was not an unreasonable person.
He believes that tonight's banquet will be a new beginning for Redd.
Time flows slowly until night falls, but the ballroom in the Black Castle is brightly lit, as bright as day.
The heavy walls are covered with flags of various families, fluttering gently under the warm light, like vivid pictures.
Each flag is embroidered with unique patterns, including dragons with snarling teeth and claws, ferocious and cunning wolves, elegant and docile deer, galloping and vigorous horses, lively fish, and eagles soaring high. There are also some patterns that are so strange that they are difficult to identify. It is really diverse and countless.
The food at the banquet was even more staggeringly rich.
The strawberries are bright red, the aroma of nuts is overflowing, the autumn pears are crisp, sweet and juicy, and the variety of fruits is dazzling.
Roasted lamb is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, roasted suckling pig has crispy skin and tender meat, venison is delicious and juicy, and all kinds of meat are delicious.
There are also plates of seafood, lobsters, crabs, scallops, everything, which makes people salivate.
Around the hall, musicians are playing melodious music, with the sounds of piano, flute, and drums intertwined.
It creates an elegant and romantic atmosphere, making people feel as if they are in a dreamy fairy tale world.
Redd found a place to sit down, couldn't wait to pick up a piece of bear paw, and bit it hard. The delicious meat juice immediately filled his mouth, and he narrowed his eyes with satisfaction.
While he was eating the bear paws, he was drinking red wine. The mellow and sweet wine complemented the deliciousness of the bear paws, making him eat with relish and couldn't help but praise it again and again.
As soon as Elad finished dealing with the vassals below, he walked over to Redd who was showing off his food alone.
He was holding a glass of red wine in his hand, with a gentle smile on his face, and gestured to Redd.
Redd looked up at him, picked up the wine glass as a sign of respect, and then drank it all.
Elad also finished the red wine in his glass, and then said, "Redd, do you plan to enjoy food and wine alone like this all the time, don't you plan to make friends with some lords and vassals?"
Redd heard this, laughed loudly, and said, "Elad, you know that I never like those hypocritical entertainments.
I prefer to be alone and enjoy good food and wine, so I feel more at ease."
Ailard looked at Redd like this, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.
He hesitated, but decided to speak his mind:
"Redd, the dragon is indeed powerful, it can destroy everything, but it cannot rule.
What rule requires is the support of the army and vassals, and this is something you must understand as a lord."
Redd heard this, with a disdainful smile on his face.
He retorted, "Elad, you are too naive.
House Targaryen can conquer Seven Kingdoms because of the dragon.
If there is a dragon, there will be an army; if there is an army, there will be a territory.
As for the vassals, that is just a matter of easy capture.
As long as I give an order, they will come to serve me one after another."
