"Either spend money to eliminate disasters or go to war."
Redd said calmly, "At that time, I will send five dragons to participate in the battle, and I will also ask House Targaryen to send at least three dragons. You can think about it clearly."
Although his words were calm, the threat contained in them was obvious.
Dorne Princess couldn't help but panic when she heard the words "Eight dragons join the battle", and her originally high momentum suddenly weakened.
She tried to calm herself down, took a deep breath, and said, "The war in the north has just calmed down. House Targaryen will not agree to your request for a war."
However, her voice clearly revealed a hint of lack of confidence.
Redd raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a joking smile. A hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes. He looked at Princess Dorne unabashedly and said slowly:
"Oh? Didn't you just hint to me that it was House Targaryen who attacked me?
According to your statement, now that I am going to war against Dorne as they wish, they should support it with both hands.
But your expression now, does it mean that you were just lying to me and deceiving me?"
These words were like a heavy hammer hitting Princess Dorne's heart, making her speechless for a moment. She opened her mouth but couldn't make a sound.
She widened her eyes and looked at Redd in disbelief, feeling angry and helpless at being teased.
Silence spread between the two of them, and time seemed to have frozen.
After a while, Princess Dorne finally recovered from the shock. She gritted her teeth tightly and squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth:
"One million gold coins, no penny less, here you go!"
Redd heard this number, and the smile on his face became even brighter. He nodded with satisfaction, then spread out his hands as if nothing had happened and said:
"That's right! Spending a small amount of money can save Dorne from the war. This is a very good deal."
However, Princess Dorne was not affected by Redd's relaxed attitude. Her voice was still stern and she said without giving in:
"After giving you the money, if House Targaryen asks you to take action against Dorne, you must refuse."
Redd's right hand clenched into a fist as if driven by a powerful force, and his body quickly stood up, like a volcano about to erupt.
He put his left hand firmly on the table and stared straight at Princess Dorne in an attitude that could not be ignored.
His tone was extremely solemn, and every word seemed to have been carefully thought out and spoke loudly:
"As long as you send the money, I promise that within five years, even if Viserys comes to beg for help in person, I will never attack Dorne, and my dragon will never step foot into Dorne's land."
These words were like thunder, exploding in the air, causing the entire room to fall into deathly silence.
Princess Dorne's face instantly turned gloomy. Her eyes met with Redd's. Their eyes collided fiercely in the air, and they remained in a stalemate for two seconds.
In these short two seconds, time seemed to have frozen.
There was a suffocating and depressing atmosphere in the air, as if a storm was coming.
Both of them had a bit of evil in their eyes, and they stared at each other without flinching.
Finally, Princess Dorne took the lead in breaking the silence.
She turned around, her movements seemed a bit stiff, as if she was trying to control the anger in her heart.
She took the hand of the boy next to her and prepared to leave this unpleasant place.
However, the moment she was about to step out of the room, her voice was as cold as Ice, and she said the next sentence without emotion:
"I hope you will do what you say, otherwise, House Martell will fight you to the death."
This sentence is like a sharp sword, piercing Redd's heart.
But Redd was not intimidated by the other party's threat. He crossed his arms, tilted his head slightly, and responded unceremoniously:
"I always keep my word. But if something like an assassination happens again, today's agreement will be immediately void."
Dorne Princess held the little boy's hand expressionlessly, and slowly walked out of the gate of Dragonstone Castle under the strict escort of five guard knights.
Redd watched them go away until the figures completely disappeared from sight, then sat back in his seat.
He had no intention of getting up to say goodbye. After all, he had just given Princess Dorne a hard blow. Even if he tried to show his kindness now, he would probably only be treated coldly by the other party, and it might even make things worse.
Therefore, he decided not to ask for trouble at all, so as not to feel hot and cold.
Redd turned to look at Douglas, who was sitting aside, and ordered, "I estimate that the one million gold coins will be delivered in the next few days, and you will be responsible for receiving it then."
After hearing this, Douglas couldn't help wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
The tense atmosphere between Princess Dorne and Redd just now made him think that the negotiation would completely collapse, and the two parties might even fall out on the spot.
However, to his surprise, Princess Dorne was actually willing to compensate Redd for one million gold coins in the end.
However, Douglas still reminded with some worry, "One million gold coins is not a small amount for House Martell. I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to gather so much money to send it over in the short term."
Redd played with the Many-Faced God gold coin in his hand casually, as if it was just an ordinary toy.
His tone was relaxed, even a little casual, "They are the most anxious party, and they will definitely deliver the things in a short time."
After all, they are about to make a complete break with House Targaryen."
When Douglas heard this, he was obviously stunned. His mind suddenly became a little confused, and he couldn't understand the meaning of Redd for a while.
He asked hesitantly, "House Martell wants to go to war with House Targaryen? How is this possible?"
Redd raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, as if he had anticipated Douglas's reaction.
He asked calmly, "What is the motto of House Martell? You shouldn't know it, right?"
Douglass replied almost without thinking, "Perseverance."
However, as soon as the words came out, he immediately realized the meaning - the war between Dorne and House Targaryen has been going on for a long time.
Both sides have experienced countless confrontations. Princess Dorne came to explain in person this time and agreed to compensate.
I'm afraid it was just to stabilize Redd and ensure that he would not be involved in the conflict between them and House Targaryen.
Redd looked at Douglas with a serious face and solemnly warned, "As long as you know it in your heart, don't make this matter known to everyone."
