After Elad walked out of the tavern, his steps seemed a little heavy, and he was struggling fiercely in his heart.
After thinking for a long time, he finally decided to do what Redd wanted.
After all, he has always been dissatisfied with King Jaehaerys, and supporting Laenor to become the heir of Iron Throne is also his true inner thought.
Now, since they have failed, it does not seem to be an unacceptable thing to persuade Corlys and Rhaenys to rebel and provoke a civil war.
Moreover, considering that King Jaehaerys is still alive, even if a civil war does break out, I am afraid it will not last long and will only be some small-scale conflicts at most.
That night, Elad decided to test Corlys's attitude.
He knew that Corlys had prepared a powerful fleet, which meant that he had certain ambitions for power.
However, the final decision depends on whether Corlys has enough courage and determination to take that crucial step.
Time passed by in a hurry, and it was the next morning in the blink of an eye.
The sun shines on Redd, who is standing in front of Dragonpit, feeding three dragons.
The appetite of these three dragons is really amazing, but fortunately Redd dug a lot of Gold Dragon in Valyria Ruins before.
Although the patterns of these Gold Dragon are different from the Gold Dragon circulating on Westeros, they are all gold after all, and no one will dislike them.
With this wealth, it is not a problem to buy some sheep to feed the dragon.
Redd placed the food in front of Dragonpit. Watching the three dragons feasting, he couldn't help but marvel at their huge appetites.
After the dragon finished eating, Redd did not sit idle, but began to install the dragon saddle on Black Dragon Ehm's dragon back.
This dragon saddle was specially customized by him. It not only makes him more comfortable when riding, but also adds some safety.
While Redd was focusing on installing the dragon saddle, a figure appeared in his field of vision.
He looked up and saw that it was Corlys walking over.
Corlys came forward with a serious look on his face. Without too much politeness, he straight to the point said to Redd, "What do you think about marrying my daughter Lanna'er?"
Redd was a little surprised. He didn't expect Corlys to raise this question so directly.
However, he quickly realized that this must be the result of Elad's push behind the scenes.
Obviously, Corlys was very dissatisfied with King Jaehaerys's personal intervention in this matter. He was unwilling to let his son Laenor lose his due rights.
From Corlys's words, Redd can feel his unwillingness and helplessness.
However, Redd himself did not have many thoughts about this marriage. He was more concerned about how to get the benefits he wanted in this complicated situation.
Redd is like a mirror in his heart. He knows very well what plan Lys has made.
Don't you just want to tie yourself to them tightly through marriage and become allies on the same front?
This kind of pie-in-the-sky good thing, and he took advantage of it, Redd naturally had no reason to refuse, so he readily responded, "Okay."
When Corlys heard Redd agreed, his tense expression instantly softened, and there was even an imperceptible smile at the corner of his mouth. He hurriedly said:
"That's great, you can come to Driftmark tomorrow to marry my daughter Laena."
However, after Redd heard this sentence, he suddenly realized that something seemed wrong.
He widened his eyes, looked at Corlys in disbelief, and blurted out. "What? You actually want me to marry you?"
Redd's voice unconsciously raised an octave, obviously very surprised and dissatisfied with this request.
He secretly muttered to himself, he was a lord after all, how could he just marry into someone else's house? This was too low of status!
Corlys saw this and quickly explained, "Don't get me wrong, getting married is not a shameful thing.
And as long as you are willing to marry me, I can give you many benefits.
Not only can you get the title of prince, but you can also become the commander-in-chief of Night's Watch!"
However, Redd was not moved at all, and he answered decisively:
"No matter what conditions you give me, there is absolutely no way I will get married!"
After that, he turned around and went about his own business, without giving Corlys any chance to continue persuading him.
Corlys looked at Redd's resolute attitude, and couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart.
He never expected that Redd would reject his proposal so decisively.
You know, this is a cooperation that is beneficial to both parties!
Corlys The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Finally, he kicked the dragon saddle hard and left angrily.
However, before leaving, he still learned something about Redd through various channels.
After some careful consideration, Corlys realized that if Redd didn't get married, he might not dare to cooperate with Redd easily.
Redd looked at the kicked dragon saddle, and couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart.
He widened his eyes and stared at Corlys's retreating back. Then he raised two middle fingers without hesitation, with a look of disdain on his face.
"Huh, I'm a man with a system!" Redd cursed in his heart, "You actually let me marry you, it's just a dream!"
He was thinking angrily as he prepared to use ropes to pull up the dragon saddle.
However, before he had time to tie the rope, Rhaenys suddenly ran over in a hurry.
There was a trace of eagerness on Rhaenys's face. She stared at Redd with her eyes wide open and asked, "What did my husband Corlys say to you?"
Redd felt a little unhappy when he saw this, but he still replied casually:
"Oh, him, he wants me to marry your eldest daughter Lanna'er, that little girl who hasn't grown up yet."
Hearing this, Rhaenys's face instantly became horrified, and she hurriedly asked, "You agreed?"
Redd rolled his eyes speechlessly and said angrily, "Please, how do you know that I would agree to such a ridiculous thing?"
Rhaenys didn't seem to care about Redd's complaints. She hesitated for a moment, and then asked tentatively, "Then don't you have any other ideas?"
Redd stopped what he was doing, turned to look at Rhaenys, touched his chin, and said thoughtfully, "Are you talking about you, or are you talking about your daughter?"
Facing Redd's questions, Rhaenys did not show any shyness. After all, she is already a mother.
On the contrary, she actually puffed out her chest and replied confidently, "Both."
Redd replied seriously, "You are indeed more charming than your daughter now. After all, she is still in the stage of development."
