Chapter 54 Dragon

All the servants in Shigu Tower knew that there was another fool beside the princess.

The Stone Drum Tower is the main castle of Dragonstone. The castle was built by the Targaryen family using ancient Valyrian craftsmanship. It looks like a sprawling black dragon. Whenever a storm comes, the sound of thunder will be heard in the main castle.

It kept rumbling and echoing, like beating a stone drum.

Princess Shireen sat in Aegon's Garden holding a heavy book. Stannis placed a swing for her daughter between two pine trees.

Patchface chased butterflies and bugs among the wild roses and thorn bushes, and sang from time to time. The tone of his singing seemed to be engraved in his soul.

Standing on one side of Shirin was a young man in a white shirt. His face was handsome and elegant, his eyebrows were like peaks, but slightly curved. He looked very gentle. His eyes were purple and blue, and there seemed to be stars flowing inside. He wore a

He wears a cloth hat, but some people know that he actually doesn’t have any hair on his head, just like Patch Face. Cole can’t tell them that his hair was burned off twice.

He stood upright with his back turned to his hands, looking like a guard. People said he was mute and had a broken brain.

So it was rumored that Stannis wanted to be king, so he picked up two fools, one was a jester who acted crazy and looked funny, and the other was a eunuch who acted dull and had a good-looking face.

Eunuchs and jesters are the standard features of the palace.

"Aegon Targaryen rode the dragon from Dragonstone to the Seven Kingdoms." The little princess was reading the history book of the Dragon family.

"Silent Knight, do you think there are dragons in the world?" Silent Knight is the name given to Cole by the little princess, even though people call him mute. Her friend is only Patch Face, but Patch Face doesn't like to listen to her.

read.

Cole looked at her. Next to the left side of this nine-year-old girl's face was a very scary-looking gray dead skin, a bit like a cracked stone. Just now he was controlling the white dragon to pretend to be dead and hunt. This trick was used

It has been tried and tested on seabirds.

In just a few days, Cole felt that the dragon's size had become larger.

"Yes," Cole replied.

The little princess's mouth opened slightly, "Ah! Silent Knight, can you speak?"

Cole looked at her surprised look and couldn't help but smile, "Of course, Your Highness."

"The maester and they all said you were." She didn't say the rest of the words.

"A fool and a mute?" Cole didn't seem to mind.

Shirin nodded, "You are not a mute, nor a fool, right?"

"Your Highness, do you think I am?"

She shook her head again.

"I've read some books, so I shouldn't be considered a fool." Cole answered.

When Shilin heard this, a look of surprise suddenly flashed in her eyes, "Wuyan, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have called you that. I should have asked your name first. This is really rude."

"If Her Majesty the Princess wishes, please continue to call me 'Silent Knight'. Of course, you can also call me 'Cole'."

"Well, Cole, nice to meet you. My name is Shireen, Shireen Baratheon."

Cole put his hands on his waist and bowed slightly, "It's an honor to meet you, Your Highness Shireen."

"Did you say you had read the book? Cole." She couldn't help but ask.

Cole nodded, "I have read almost all the books on the Great Wall."

"The Wall? Are you a Night Watchman?"

"I grew up there, but I didn't swear to join it and become a knight in black."

"Black Knight, Black Knight, fly, fly, I know, I know, oh oh oh." Patch Face suddenly came up.

"Ah, Patchface, you bad guy." The jester suddenly jumped out, startling the little princess.

"Bad guy, oh oh, bad guy." He jumped up, as if dancing gracefully, lifting his left foot and bouncing with his right foot. Shireen chased him, and the two started frolicking in the garden. In an instant, Aegon's ringing laughter spread.

garden.

This garden is named after Aegon, presumably having some connection with the Targaryen conqueror.

At this time, there was only one place in the entire Dragonstone Island that still had a sound of joy. It seemed that a storm was about to come. Dragonstone Island had a depressing atmosphere. From the servants in the castle to the knights who came and went in a hurry, their faces

Although the expressions were different, there was no joy at all.

Yes, war is coming.

After the death of King Robert, war broke out everywhere in Westeros. The Lannister and Stark families in the Riverlands were at war with each other. Many nobles in the Riverlands had already declared that Renly Byrne had been deposed.

Lathion is king and has gathered an army to march towards King's Landing.

Lord Stannis, Duke of Dragonstone, followed closely behind his brother Renly and declared himself the orthodoxy of the Seven Kingdoms.

When Cole controlled the white dragon to venture along the coast, he could often see ships and warships coming and going. It was obvious that Dragonstone Island was in a state of preparation for war at the moment.

This island cannot train many cavalry, but it can build a fleet. Stannis's fleet began to be built during the battle when Robert became king. During Robert's rule of the Seven Kingdoms, Stannis also

He has been serving as Lord of the Sea, so his fleet can also be called the Royal Fleet.

Stannis's own flagship "The Wrath", Lord Velaryon's flagship "The Glory of the Tideshead", and countless other huge ships that are like fortresses in the water docked at the port.

This fleet performed extraordinary feats during the Ironborn rebellion, defeating the prestigious Iron Fleet. Although Stannis's fleet cannot be called the first navy in Westeros, it is not weak in strength.

Soldiers crowded the tavern in the small village of Haikou. Dragonstone Island has not been so lively for a long time. Businessmen heard the news and came.

Princess Shireen is full of curiosity and often looks at the market in the distance from the castle.

When she got tired of playing with Patchface, she sat back on the swing. In daily life, she was actually very quiet and liked to read in the room with a book, but occasionally she would play with Patchface. After all, she was still a child.

A nine-year-old girl.

She breathed softly, her patchy face had been full of energy all day long, and she was still jumping up and down, sometimes singing, and sometimes telling strange jokes.

"Patchface is my best friend." Shireen explained to Cole, and she herself said silently in her heart: She is also my only friend.

"They said he also drifted from the sea."

Cole's performance was a bit dull, but he was actually controlling the white dragon. Just now he almost exposed himself to a fisherman.

Bailong is now as big as a duck. If he is caught, the consequences will be unimaginable.

He looked at the weirdly dressed jester, and sometimes he didn't know whether he was lucky or unlucky to be like this. At least he looked so carefree.

"You know Patchface, who is his good friend?" Cole said. Only the gentle and kind-hearted little Princess Shireen would regard such a fool as her friend.

Very few people can talk to Shireen so much, so she looks very happy.

"Cole, you said there are dragons in this world, but have you ever seen a dragon?" She seemed to be very interested in dragons.

Cole thought of something, and then hesitantly said, "I've seen it before."

He silently added in his mind: It's just that it's not that big.
