The Velaryon family has the most powerful fleet and admiral in Westeros.

To defeat the Three Women Kingdom, the sea snake's full support is indispensable.

After saying that, Rhaegar looked at the sea snake quietly, waiting for his answer.

"It is the duty of a minister to serve the country, and I am honored to do so."

Corliss responded without hesitation, with a solemn expression and placed one hand on his chest.

He continued: "My family will also be affected by the Three Women's Kingdom's plunder of the Stone Step Islands. Your arrival has solved my urgent need."

His words were sincere and there was no hint of arrogance.

Lei Jia was slightly surprised. He didn't expect the other party to be so easy to talk to.

Then I thought about it.

Although the Step Islands are barren, they occupy a very important geographical location.

When the Three Women's Kingdom occupies the Stepstone Islands, the entire route will be plundered. In the end, the Velaryon family, which made its fortune through shipping, will suffer the most.

Corliss agreed immediately, which shows that he understands current affairs and has a long-term vision.

The communication went smoothly, Leonor looked happy and said: "Lord Corlys, I hope you can return to King's Landing with me after Princess Rhaenys's banquet."

His mission is to invite the Sea Serpent to King's Landing to discuss military aircraft.

If the mission goes well, he will feel much more relaxed.

"No problem. Maybe I haven't seen Your Majesty for a long time and miss him very much."

Collis sighed.

He is a politician. No matter how powerful his family is, he cannot stay away from the independent world.

Only by uniting with the royal family to a certain extent can the interests be maximized.

"It seems you had a good chat."

The conversation ended as quickly as it came. Rhaenys came over with a tray and a slight smile.

Looking at his smiling wife, Corliss also smiled and said proudly: "Smart people's conversations are always relaxed and pleasant."

"You're right, Viserys has chosen a good heir."

Rhaenys kissed her husband's cheek and whispered softly: "Put your little thoughts away. Targaryen has no shortage of geniuses and madmen."

"Just a little test."

Corliss responded softly, taking a wine glass from the tray and toasting to Rhaegar.

He is not one to believe rumours.

To judge whether a person deserves to be treated well, he likes personal contact.

Facts have proved that the new crown prince is a hardliner, and the future battle on the Stepstone Islands will reduce many difficulties.

"Want to try it? Dornish red wine."

Pushing aside her ambitious husband, Rhaenys handed the tray to Rhaegar.

"Thank you, aunt."

Smelling the fragrant wine, Rhaegar reached out his hand hesitantly.

"Drink this, Rhaegar."

Rhaenyra's voice came from behind, walking over with a glass of sake.

Rhaegar smiled apologetically at Rhaenys and took the glass of sake.

Rhaenyra took his arm and explained: "Rhaegar is a hypocrite. After a glass of wine, he will not be able to attend the dinner party."

"Rhaenaela."

Rhaegar quickly stopped her from exposing her background.

He just didn't like the taste of alcohol, not enough to drink a glass.

This scene fell into the eyes of others and immediately caused laughter.

Corliss drank the wine in one gulp, and laughed like an old-timer: "A man cannot be ignorant of drinking, especially a Targaryen of blood and fire. Alcohol is the best fuel."

"Yeah, how can a crown prince who doesn't know how to drink entertain his ministers?"

Rhaenys smiled brightly and taught her nephew a lesson.

The others did not dare to laugh too loudly, so they took the wine glasses from the tray, toasted to Rega and drank.

In response, Rhaegar shook his head and smiled bitterly.

As laughter rang out, the tense atmosphere dissipated, and the two families seemed to be getting back together.

Rhaenys held the tray, walked to Rhaegar, and said seriously: "There is something I want to discuss with you in advance."

"What's the matter, aunt?"

The harmonious atmosphere did not make Rhaegar lose his vigilance, and Vhagar was still resting on Tidal Head Island.

As expected, Rhaenys sighed and said bluntly: "I believe you have seen Vhagar, it is Lannar's dragon."

"Vhagar is the only remaining dragon of the Targaryen family. Of course I recognize him."

Rhaegar's eyes flashed slightly, emphasizing Vhagar's ownership.

This old dragon has spent the first half of his life serving the Targaryens.

It doesn't matter who controls it, who it belongs to.

"I understand what you mean, but I have no intention of getting entangled in this matter."

Rhaenys shook her head and said, "Lanal is my daughter. She gave birth to two bloodlines for Targaryen. Now she has returned to Tidehead Island."

"what do you mean?"

Rhaegar was in no hurry to show his attitude.

Regarding Lanner's question, he had anticipated it when he came.

The royal family is allied with House Velaryon, so they can't still want the daughter of the sea serpent.

Opening an appropriate net is not a sign of weakness.

"Lannaer made a mistake, and I will not plead for her."

Rhaenys's eyes were firm and she expressed her appeal: "But her daughters are of pure Targaryen blood. They should not suffer the sins of their fathers and should have the legitimate rights and interests of the royal family."

"If you're asking for mercy for your daughter, I might be able to help."

Rega frowned slightly and said, "When two babies are involved, you should let Lanner personally come forward to fight for it."

Since the two babies want to be recognized by the royal family, it is too inappropriate for the biological parents not to show up.

"She is in the castle, I can ask her to come..."

"No, I'm right here!"

Before Rhaenys finished speaking, she was interrupted by a magnetic female voice.

The side door opened again, and a dark-skinned beauty with a graceful figure walked out.

"Lanael!"

Rhaenyra exclaimed, her eyes a little complicated.

Lannal is her best childhood friend besides Allison.

After so many years, the other party has become a wife and mother.

"Rhaenayla, it's good to see you again."

Lanner's face inherited her mother's strong lines, with silver curly hair, a tall and plump figure, and an elegant temperament all over her body.

"Sister, why did you come out?"

Lanino hurried forward, looking a little nervous.

"What are you afraid of? The house is full of relatives connected by blood."

Lanner smiled slightly and took the two swaddles from the arms of the maid behind her.

Seeing this, Rhaenys felt a little helpless and said, "You may as well come and tell me yourself."

Rhaegar tilted his head and his eyes fell on the two swaddling clothes.

Noticing his gaze, Lanner walked over, generously handed over the swaddling clothes, and asked: "Cousin, do you want to hug them?"

Rhaegar glanced at her, thought for a moment, and chose to take the swaddle.

Lanner said gently: "Father gave them names. The elder sister is called Benila, and the younger sister is called Renya."

Holding a swaddle in one hand, Rhaegar's body was a little stiff, looking down at the two baby girls in his arms.

To be honest, it's not cute at all.

The skin of the two little babies was red, their eyes were not even opened, and they were very thin.

"Hey..."

As if feeling his disgust, the baby girl named Benila twisted her body, squeaking her mouth and making a babbling sound.

The Stepped Stone Islands is a good chapter, fitting the plot of the original work, mixed with dragon fights, wars, and conspiracies.
