Game of Thrones: Lord of the Deep - Chapter 258

c255 Doran’s disdain

“Dragon egg?” Jack was a little surprised. He had been collecting dragon eggs, but he hadn’t received any.

Jack was sure that some free trade cities in Essos must have dragon eggs in their collection.

But the free trade cities didn’t want to sell the dragon eggs to Jack, because the shadow of Valyria once again loomed over them.

Shanks smiled apologetically, “Yes, Your Majesty, this dragon egg was purchased by a merchant from the Shadow Land.

According to him, there should be at least five dragon eggs in the Shadow Land, and there are even dragons living in the depths of the Shadow Land.”

Jack took the dragon egg without hesitation. It happened that Asha and Daenerys were both pregnant, and this dragon egg made up for half of the gap.

After Jack painted a big pie for Shanks, he took the dragon egg to Prince Doran’s residence.

Korakhu flew over the triple doors and went straight to the Old Palace.

As expected, Prince Doran was at the entrance of the Old Palace, apparently waiting for Jack’s arrival.

Since Jack came to Sunspear, Prince Doran has arranged for his spies to keep a close eye on Jack’s movements.

After learning that Jack went to the headquarters of the Sea Folk Chamber of Commerce, he insisted on waiting in the Old Palace despite the opposition of others.

During this period, Prince Doran kept frowning, and it was unknown what he was thinking.

Arianne helped Doran rub his temples. Doran had already designated Arianne as the heir of Dorne, and also revealed his plan to Arianne.

Since then, Arianne first understood the difficulties of her father, and the relationship between father and daughter was greatly eased.

“You don’t have to wait for him here all the time, father, you are the Prince of Dorne.” Arianne said softly.

“I am the Prince of Dorne, he is the future King of the Seven Kingdoms, this is necessary etiquette.”

“If it is polite, he should come to you first, instead of going to the Sea Folk Chamber of Commerce and making you wait so long.”

Arianne’s tone was dissatisfied. In her opinion, Jack was just trying to show power to Dorne.

“The king doesn’t care about etiquette, so we can only say it in secret. But we don’t care about etiquette, so if the king wants to, he can say it to his face. That’s the difference.”

Prince Doran had a gentle smile on his face, as if nothing would make him angry.

“He just had four dragons, but now there are only three left. Dorne has never been afraid of dragons, and we have killed dragons before.”

“That was a long time ago. You should restrain your temper. How can you show everything?”

Doran taught Arianne with a smile, while looking deeply at the headquarters building of the Sea People’s Chamber of Commerce in the distance.

He still didn’t know what this building material was, and Shanks pretended to be stupid in response to his questions, and the people below didn’t know anything.

Hiss–

The dragon roared, and the evening red clouds sprinkled on Korakshu who fell from the sky, and the scarlet scales became more bizarre.

Landing in front of the old palace, Korakhu lowered his shoulders to let Jack walk down, and then curled up in a comfortable position.

“Prince Doran, long time no see.” Jack was the first to greet him.

Prince Doran bowed in his wheelchair, “Your Majesty, please forgive me for not being able to stand up and salute. You know my legs.”

“Nothing, nothing. If you have time, you can try to pray to Poseidon. Poseidon has cured countless believers.”

Jack did not let Poseidon treat Doran Martell directly. This old man has a stable mind and a very firm will. The power of faith now has little effect on him. Jack will never do a losing business.

However, Jack can arrange for someone to contact Oberyn Martell. After all, it is not easy for anyone to change from a healthy person to a blind man with half of his teeth gone.

“I will, Your Majesty, thank you for your advice.” Doran Martell thanked him very gentlemanly.

At this time, Jack looked at Arianne beside Prince Doran and said with a smile: “I wonder if Miss Arianne is married. She is 28 years old this year, right?”

Arianne’s face darkened, but she still forced a smile and said with a slightly sarcasm:

“Thank you for your concern, your majesty. Thanks to your slap, everyone now thinks that Tyene and I are your women.”

Arianne was talking about the slap Jack gave her and Tyene when he left Sunspear.

“If you say that, it is indeed my fault. How about you just come to me?”

“I am the future princess of Dorne. If your majesty is willing to marry into my family, it is not impossible.” Arianne said with a fake smile.

Doran Martell’s eyelids jumped when he heard this. His daughter is good in every way, but she has a hot temper and is easily led by others.

“Ahem, Your Majesty, you must have come to Dorne to talk to me about something. How about we go to the study to discuss it in detail?”

“Sure.”

Prince Doran quickly sent his daughter away and brought Jack to the prince’s study.

“Please sit down, Your Majesty.”

After Jack sat down, Prince Doran came to the opposite side of Jack and poured a glass of wine for Jack.

After taking a sip of the wine, Jack was a little surprised: “Six gold dragons a barrel of Poseidon’s wine? You, a prince of Dorne, drink six gold dragons a barrel of Poseidon’s wine?”

“Dear Your Majesty, not everyone is as rich as you. Besides, this is three gold dragons a barrel of Poseidon’s wine.”

Jack nodded. The Seamen Chamber of Commerce built a factory in Dorne, and the raw materials were also purchased from the Dornish. Naturally, the price would not be too high.

In the end, the price was directly cut in half, from the original 100 times profit to 50 times.

This price is still within the acceptable range.

“Really? This price is still very cheap, what do you think?”

“Of course, now the nobles of Dorne drink a glass of Poseidon’s Brew every day with dinner. If it weren’t for the high price of Poseidon’s Brew, all the wineries in Dorne would go bankrupt.”

“Hahaha, the taste is good, so the price is naturally good. It was not originally prepared for civilians. There must be a way for other wineries to survive, otherwise Poseidon’s Brew alone can’t eat so many grapes.”

After the two of them argued with each other for a while, Jack went straight to the point: “What does the prince think of the war between the Riverland and the Iron Throne?”

“Cersei Lannister is too greedy and too confident.” Doran Martell’s eyes flashed with a trace of barely detectable disdain.

Doran Martell saw through Cersei Lannister’s intention at a glance, which was nothing more than his eye on the wealth of the Tyrell family.

The amount of materials needed to launch a war is very huge, and Westeros is exhausted after several civil wars.

The North has constant blood transfusions from Atlantis, so if the Iron Throne wants to win this war, it needs a “nutritious blood bag” to nourish itself.

Originally, the marriage between the Iron Throne and the Tyrell family was a foregone conclusion, but Jack Poseidon came to Westeros with a dragon, just as Joffrey Baratheon was poisoned at his wedding.

The cunning “Queen of Thorns” in Highgarden immediately made a judgment and led people back to the Reach, obviously wanting to rely on everyone to win over Highgarden, and then watch the fire from the other side, and finally stand on the side when the situation becomes clear.

As a result, Cersei Lannister and Jack Poseidon did not play this “Game of Thrones” according to the rules at all, resulting in the Reach being besieged by the Westerlands, the Crownlands and the Stormlands first.
