She mounted Syrax and flew back to Dragonstone Castle like an arrow from a string.
As soon as he returned to Dragonstone Castle, Rhaenyra climbed up to the crow's nest in the spire without stopping.
She took out a raven from the cage, wrote the news about Redd's taming of three wild dragons on a piece of paper, and tied it to the raven's leg.
Following her command, the raven flapped its wings and flew high, conveying this important news to her father Viserys in the distance.
Watching the figure of the raven carrying the letter away, Rhaenyra's heart was filled with worry and uneasiness.
She knew that Redd's strength was expanding at an alarming rate, and now he might have as many as six dragons under his command.
Such a powerful force is enough to pose a serious threat to the foundation of the dynasty's rule. House Targaryen's control over Seven Kingdoms seems to have become shaky.
At the same time, Viserys, who was returning to the north, received this letter.
He rubbed his aching head and already had a decision in his mind.
He realized that action must be taken as soon as possible to stabilize House Targaryen's position.
The most effective way is to hold an engagement ceremony. It is even better to hold the wedding of Rhaenyra and Redd directly, completely tying Redd to the chariot of House Targaryen.
Although doing so may bring some risks, Viserys believes that this is the only feasible option at present.
Even if the descendants of Redd may get involved in Iron Throne in the future, he can only accept this fact helplessly.
After all, there are no absolute safety and security in Game of Thrones.
Viserys no longer wanted to stay in the north, so he immediately decided to take his brother Daemon along Kingsroad and rush back to King's Landing.
He must discuss the matter with King Jaehaerys in person, because only the King can make the final decision.
During the long journey, various possible scenarios and consequences kept popping up in Viserys's mind.
This decision will have a profound impact on the future of House Targaryen.
However, facing the growing strength of Redd, he had no choice.
Viserys told Daemon his thoughts in detail, hoping to get his support and persuade King Jaehaerys together.
Viserys told Daemon in detail Redd's situation and his concerns.
He pointed out that since there has been a precedent of House Velaryon, it is not completely unacceptable to promise that the descendants of Redd will also have the inheritance rights of Iron Throne.
Doing so can not only temporarily alleviate Redd's ambitions, but also buy more time for House Targaryen to consolidate his rule.
Daemon listened quietly to Viserys's statement and thought about this problem. Without the dragon, he had learned to think carefully about the problem.
Finally, he nodded and agreed to Viserys's proposal.
After all, under the current circumstances, this seems to be the wisest choice.
This is undoubtedly the most sincere and most likely condition he can think of to win over Redd completely. If he does not do this, sooner or later, an unavoidable fierce dragon battle will occur.
However, what was unexpected was that the development of things completely deviated from his expectations.
Just as he was on his way back to King's Landing, a raven came galloping like the wind and brought an urgent letter.
This letter was written by Otto Hightower Earl himself. The content of the letter shocked Viserys - King Jaehaerys had actually died!
This news is still temporarily blocked, and Otto Hightower Earl earnestly requested in the letter that Viserys, the successor of Iron Throne, rush back to King's Landing as soon as possible to stabilize people's hearts.
Viserys After reading the letter, there was no joy at all on his face. On the contrary, his heart was full of worries.
Dorne still had no clue what was going on over there, and he vaguely felt that ascending the throne at this moment might not be a good thing.
Viserys couldn't help but sigh, the world seemed to be playing a big joke on him.
Just when he had just convinced Daemon and planned to go together to persuade the king and agree to let Redd's descendants also have the inheritance rights of Iron Throne - he originally wanted the king to bear the consequences of this potentially controversial decision, but who knew that the king suddenly passed away at this juncture.
This means that he has no choice but to fill the vacant position in person and personally announce an important decision: the future children of his daughter Rhaenyra will also have the qualifications and rights to inherit Iron Throne.
This task of great responsibility inevitably fell on him in the end.
Although Viserys was full of reluctance deep in his heart, he knew that time was tight and there was no room for any delay.
So, without hesitation, he rushed back to King's Landing as quickly as possible to board the Iron Throne, which symbolized the supreme power.
After several days of non-stop galloping, he finally arrived at King's Landing from the far north.
The long hours of running around and tiring made his mental state extremely depressed. However, the current situation did not allow him to have the slightest chance to breathe.
When the head of the king and several ministers saw his arrival, they seemed to have seen a savior, with expressions of relief on their faces.
In this special period, it is crucial for the stability of the country and the smooth transition of power for the new king to ascend the throne as soon as possible.
With the core figure Viserys in charge, various affairs began to gradually get on the right track and move forward in an orderly manner.
After all, many important decisions cannot be made by ministers without permission, and must be given by the crown prince himself.
A large number of ravens fluttered their wings from King's Landing. They were like messengers, quickly scattering everywhere, delivering the message as quickly as possible.
Viserys not only verbally invited all parties to come and watch the ceremony, but also formally issued an invitation in writing to summon people from all parties to come and witness this important moment.
After the funeral of King Jaehaerys, the succession and coronation ceremony of Viserys followed.
According to tradition, all vassals and lords must rush to King's Landing in person to swear allegiance to the new king.
The news soon reached the ears of Redd on Dragonstone.
Regarding the death of King Jaehaerys, Redd did not have too many feelings. After all, he was not familiar with the old king.
However, Redd has his own plans for the upcoming coronation ceremony.
At the same time that Redd received the news, Rhaenyra also learned the news.
She was so excited that she immediately mounted her dragon Syrax and flew to King's Landing as fast as possible.
Redd looked at her cheerful look and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Rhaenyra seemed to have no sadness at the death of King Jaehaerys, but seemed to have been looking forward to this day for a long time.
