Jaehaerys King was silent.
The air in the room seemed to have frozen, and only the sound of his heavy breathing echoed.
He looked at the granddaughter in front of him who inherited the bloodline of Targaryen and the bloodline of the dragon, and saw the sharp light that was born with the ruler in her eyes.
After a long time, he exhaled slowly and with difficulty, as if he had just experienced a long and painful struggle.
He accepted this reality. Not because of Rhaenys's expression, but because of the reality itself.
House Targaryen's bloodline is powerful after all, powerful enough to give birth to such an incredible miracle again after so many years of silence.
He, Jaehaerys·Targaryen, once again stood at the turning point of history,
Only this time, he is no longer the king who can easily change things, but an old man who can only passively accept it.
There were mixed emotions in his heart, including expectations for the family's revival and deep worries about the chaotic situation before him.
He knew that this news, whether good or bad, would completely change the future of King's Landing and even the entire Westeros.
Jaehaerys King slowly closed his eyes, but his consciousness was extremely clear, like a ship being thrown into the center of a storm, bumping in the waves of countless thoughts.
As he gets older, his body seems to have been hollowed out, and even thinking has become a luxury burden.
But at this moment, the news brought by Rhaenys was like a key, instantly opening the most secret and glorious corner of his memory.
He thinks about a lot, from the glory of the family to the current internal strife, from the glory of the past to the current crisis,
But in the end, all his thoughts converged into three focuses that could not be ignored, like three sharp ice picks, piercing his already fragile heart.
The first point, and the one that shocked him the most: one person tamed three dragons.
This is an unheard-of miracle in the history of House Targaryen, and even in the recorded history of dragons.
Since the Valyria doomsday catastrophe, the number of dragons has decreased sharply, and the blood of true dragons has also been diluted.
Even in House Targaryen's heyday, it mostly followed the ancient tradition of "one person, one dragon".
In the description of Rhaenys, the person named Redd not only owns three dragons, but also seems to be an absolute master. That kind of affinity and control are by no means ordinary.
What does this mean? It means that his true dragon bloodline has not been diluted by time at all, and it still remains far more pure and powerful than Old Valyria Dragon King!
What does this mean? It means that he is not the ordinary Dragon King, but the superior Dragon King,
He is a member of "House Targaryen" in the true sense, an existence that is enough to subvert the existing order.
What's even more frightening is that he broke the restriction of "one person and one dragon", which itself contains infinite possibilities and infinite power.
The second point is the size of the two adult dragons.
Rhaenys described them as "much bigger than Balerion the Black Dread". Jaehaerys's heart suddenly shrank.
Balerion, the powerful founding dragon, is one of the most powerful dragons in the family. Its size is already the best among the known dragons.
Bigger than that? What does this mean? It means that the environment where they grew up is filled with rich magical energy that far exceeds that of Westeros.
Jaehaerys closed his eyes, and the name shrouded in taboo and glory appeared in his mind - ancient Valyrian Peninsula.
Only there, the place of volcanoes and magic that gave birth to Valyria civilization and swallowed up House Targaryen,
Only with such majestic elemental power can such a huge dragon be born.
This further confirmed his first judgment: this Redd and his dragon were all derived from the pure dragon of Valyria, from that forgotten golden age.
And the last point was the one that frightened him the most and even couldn't help but curse in his heart - the three-headed dragon.
The young dragon described by Rhaenys has three heads and a strange shape, as if it violates the laws of nature.
Jaehaerys's memory was instantly pulled back to the family's ancient legends and dust-laden historical records.
Three-headed dragon? During the heyday of Valyrian Freehold, there was never a record of such a mutation!
It was an era when dragons were prosperous, but also began to show signs of instability.
Although this dragon is only a larva now, how terrifying is its potential and power?
Jaehaerys It is simply unimaginable.
Does the three heads mean control of three different elements? Or three times the power?
Its growth limit is probably far greater than any known giant dragon. An existence with such terrifying potential, once it grows up, is enough to shake the entire world.
Imagining this three-headed dragon, Jaehaerys's anger suddenly broke out without warning.
He suddenly tightened his grip on the sheets underneath him, his knuckles turning white from the exertion, and he let out a low, beast-like roar from his throat.
He thought of those damn Valyrian Freehold slave owners, those scum with thin, twisted Dragon King blood!
They secretly captured people with pure Dragon King bloodline and imprisoned them in the Black Wall like animals, in an attempt to gain the ability to control dragons by improving their family's bloodline.
They even kept trying to hatch Dragon Egg, trying to copy the power of the dragon!
House Targaryen has known about these activities for a long time, but in order not to draw the war to the distant Westeros, and in order to maintain a certain fragile balance, they chose to "turn a blind eye".
Now it seems that these guys' experiment was really successful!
Not only did they successfully hatch the dragon, they even experienced such unnatural mutations!
Jaehaerys cursed in his heart: A bunch of trash! A bunch of cowards who only hide in dark corners and plot!
They don't deserve to have a dragon, and they don't deserve to inherit the glory of Dragon King!
Their behavior will only bring disaster in the end, and now,
This disaster, in a form that he could not predict and control at all, befell him and his kingdom!
These three points are like three heavy mountains, weighing on Jaehaerys's heart.
A mysterious figure with pure and powerful Dragon King blood, breaking the rules and coming from Valyria;
Two giant dragons of terrifying size; and a three-headed demonic dragon with unlimited potential and strange shape.
All of this heralds a future that he cannot control, a future that may completely subvert the existing order. But it is difficult for him to even stand up and walk.
Jaehaerys What the king felt was not just the physical threat brought by Redd's three dragons.
Rather, it is a deeper and huge pressure related to bloodline orthodoxy and family destiny.
That pure Dragon King blood, that power that breaks the rules, that mysterious aura from far Old Valyria,
They were all like invisible whips, lashing out at the old king's remaining self-esteem and majesty.
