Alicent personally found Viserys with Aegon.
"For this matter, I need an explanation, and I also need to give Corlys an account."
Viserys had a headache; he had never expected Alicent and Aegon to want to protect Criston.
However, upon careful thought, it all seemed reasonable, but Viserys was unwilling to think in that direction.
He still hoped his daughter could get along peacefully with his wife.
"Father, Joffrey humiliated Mother and me in front of Criston. It's understandable that Criston lost control for a moment.
Let's just drop this matter; Mother and I won't pursue it anymore."
Viserys looked silently at Aegon, then finally at Alicent, his meaning self-evident.
"That's the truth. If Corlys doesn't believe it, he can ask Joffrey." Alicent's expression remained unchanged.
Aegon chuckled inwardly, thinking, let's see if Joffrey even survives first.
Even if he did survive, it wouldn't matter; it would just be a case of each side presenting their version, followed by a trial by combat.
Seeing Alicent's determined stance, Viserys could only wave his hand helplessly.
"I understand, you may go back."
He planned to talk to Corlys himself; after all, it was just Laenor's paramour, essentially nothing important.
-----------------
The twelfth month of 114 AC.
Queen Alicent and Princess Rhaenyra successively gave birth to healthy male infants, named Daeron Targaryen and Jacaerys Velaryon respectively.
However, the appearances of the two male infants caused quite a stir. Daeron had silver hair and purple eyes; his future handsome looks were evident from birth.
In contrast, Jacaerys had brown hair, brown eyes, and a flat nose, completely lacking his father's aquiline nose, silver hair, and purple eyes.
This led many in the court to suspect that the children's true father was Ser Harwin Strong, Princess Rhaenyra's personal guard.
Furthermore, the rumors showed a tendency to spread among the common folk, enraging Viserys who ordered a strict investigation into those spreading the rumors!
Under Viserys's heavy pressure, the rumors were finally suppressed to a certain extent.
He immediately ordered that Daeron and Jacaerys be raised by the same wet nurse to foster affection from a young age.
At the same time, he placed a dragon egg in each of the two infants' cradles.
-----------------
115 AC, Lucerys Velaryon was born, with the same brown hair, brown eyes, and flat nose.
Rumors immediately resurfaced, but the dragon egg in Jacaerys's cradle successfully hatched, while Prince Daeron's red dragon egg remained still.
Daemon's first wife, Lady Rhea Royce, passed away. There were rumors that Daemon had killed his wife.
But at that time, Daemon was still fighting the Triarchy and the Dornish forces in the Stepstones, so the rumors eventually died down on their own.
The inheritance of Runestone passed to Lady Rhea's nephew, leaving Daemon with nothing, so he had no choice but to leave the Vale. On his way south, he passed by Driftmark.
Here, he married the 22-year-old Lady Laena, daughter of Count Corlys, and killed his rival, the son of the former Sealord of Braavos, in a duel.
Daemon was tired of his small kingdom and knew full well that the King would not be pleased with this marriage, so he embarked on an adventure with his wife, traveling through the Free Cities on Dragons.
This was indeed the case; Viserys privately erupted in a great fury upon hearing about it.
Corlys even wrote a letter specifically inviting Viserys to Driftmark to discuss Jacaerys's succession rights.
In fact, Corlys was testing Viserys, wanting Jacaerys to ascend the Iron Throne with the Velaryon family name, becoming King of the Seven Kingdoms.
But in the end, this matter came to nothing, and no related rumors spread from the court.
116 AC, Daemon's twin daughters were born, and he hoped they would receive the King's blessing.
King Viserys believed his brother had repented and allowed him to return to the Seven Kingdoms, and the two reconciled once more.
Daemon then returned to Driftmark with Laena and their daughters to settle down.
117 AC, Rhaenyra and Laenor's youngest son, Joffrey Velaryon, was born.
Daemon brought his twin daughters to the palace to meet the King.
At the end of 119 AC, Viserys I refused Prince Daeron's request to attempt to tame Silverwing.
Ultimately, Prince Daeron tamed the young female Dragon, 'the Blue Queen' Tessarion, who hatched at the same time as Seasmoke!
-----------------
Three years passed in a flash, and 120 AC arrived.
On the third day of 120 AC, Lady Laena gave birth to a premature and deformed infant for Daemon; she subsequently died of childbed fever, sad and weak.
Corlys and Rhaenys were heartbroken and grief-stricken; Viserys brought his family to Driftmark to attend the funeral.
As Weimond Velaryon read the eulogy, Laena was committed to the sea, returning to the domain of the Merling King, under his protection.
However, the atmosphere of the funeral, besides sorrow, was also shrouded in a somewhat unclear meaning.
When Weimond read about bloodlines never being diluted, his gaze was icy, fixed intently on Rhaenyra and her children.
Viserys, Corlys, Daemon, and others all noticed this.
In addition, many other meaningful glances fell upon Rhaenyra and her children.
Seeing the atmosphere was wrong, Daemon, who was already uninterested in these formalities, immediately made a decision.
Daemon directly burst into laughter, drawing everyone's attention.
Everyone was somewhat surprised, thinking, your wife is dead, and you can still laugh out loud?
However, Daemon didn't care at all; his reputation was already bad enough, and it didn't matter if it got a little worse.
Moreover, he could also attract some attention away from Rhaenyra.
The long funeral finally ended, and the guests gradually dispersed.
Several Dragons circled nearby; Sunfyre landed first, his massive size kicking up a cloud of dust.
Aemond's eyes were full of envy, and he couldn't help but say:
"Brother, Sunfyre is growing so fast, he's so majestic, and so beautiful!"
At this time, Sunfyre's size was already close to Caraxes.
Perhaps in less than ten years, he would surpass Meleys.
It's important to note that Meleys was the largest of the third generation of House Targaryen's Dragons, second only to the second generation Dragon Silverwing.
However, strictly speaking, Meleys is actually a fourth generation Dragon.
It's just that the maesters prefer to classify Balerion separately and then categorize Vhagar as a first generation Dragon of House Targaryen.
After all, Balerion hatched in Old Valyria, while Vhagar hatched on Dragonstone.
"I just had the Dragon Guard measure Sunfyre's length two days ago, guess how big he is?"
Aegon rubbed Aemond's head.
"Hmm... I guess Sunfyre is fifty meters, he's so big, he looks only a little smaller than Meleys."
"It's not that exaggerated, don't overstate it, he's just reached forty meters.
Meleys is at least sixty meters, there's a significant difference."
Just then, Viserys, who heard his two sons talking, chuckled and said to Aemond:
"If you have the courage, you can go to Dragonstone to choose a dragon egg or tame a Dragon."
"Screech!"
At this moment, Vhagar's highly recognizable deep roar came.
Aemond pursed his lips and nodded heavily.
Viserys smiled with relief.
The Velaryon family had now lost Vhagar.
If Aemond could tame a Dragon, then House Targaryen would regain the upper hand!
