Chapter 29 Blood debt must be paid with blood
“Prince Jacaris, the antidote you brought back is indeed effective.
Princess Benilla's body is no longer stiff.
But she had already lost a lot of blood, and the stone scorpion venom was slowly eroding her body.
It's hard to wake up in a short period of time.
Fortunately, there is no fever, otherwise it would be dangerous! "
Bloodstone Island, underground fortress hall.
A middle-aged bachelor with two bachelor chains, one white and one black, hanging around his neck was reporting on Benilla's situation to Jacaris on the main seat.
The white link is made of silver, representing medicine, while the black link is made of black iron, representing ravenology.
Lord Collis had told Jacaerys privately.
This scholar named Duolun was selected by him personally and sent to the academy for training, so he can be trusted to a certain extent.
"Well, I understand.
Thank you, Maester Doron."
"You're so kind, this is what I should do.
Then I'm leaving."
Looking at Maester Doron's leaving back, Jacaerys felt a little relieved.
Benilla showed no signs of fever, which meant the wound was not infected.
In this era, if the wound becomes infected, it is really difficult to survive.
After thinking for a while, Jakaris turned his head and instructed Rudy, who was on duty today, "Rudy, go and invite my friend here alone."
"As ordered!"
After a while, Beoro hurried over to pay his respects.
After dismissing everyone, Jacaerys asked directly: "One of the masterminds of this assassination is Lord Pachek of Tyrosh.
So I want to prioritize Tyrosh.
Dear friend, do you have any suggestions? "
“Maharaja Pachek?
Humph, this despicable method is indeed in line with those businessmen who pride themselves on conspiracy.
I heard that their Maharajah's elections were full of threats and bribes."
Upon hearing this, Beoro first sympathized with Jacaris with a look of contempt, and then continued,
“Prince Jacaerys, since you want to target Tyrosh.
Then our first target should be the town of Ramo, which is closest to Bloodstone Island.
As long as we control this place..."
"Lamo Town is gone. I just burned it down yesterday!"
Jacaerys interrupted Beoro calmly.
After hearing the news, the other party looked stunned and didn't know how to continue for a moment.
In fact, Jakaris had already thought of the future plan, and he asked only to show respect for his partner.
Seeing that Beoro didn’t say anything, he said directly: “I plan to block the sea trade routes between Myr and Lys.
In the waters of the Stepstones, our Velaryon fleet and your pirates are enough.
If their main fleet makes any unusual movements, Volantis will have to contain them."
"Don't worry, the Archon will definitely keep them under control.
Make sure Mill and Reese…"
Beoro nodded and replied, but he suddenly felt something was wrong.
"Wait, did I hear wrong?
Prince Jacaerys, do you mean to blockade Myr and Lys, but leave Tyrosh free to travel?"
"Yes, you heard that right."
"So, the mastermind behind the assassination also included the governors of Mill and Rees?"
"No, they were not involved."
Beoro saw that Jacaerys looked serious and didn't seem to be joking at all.
He said with a puzzled look on his face: "What is your purpose in doing this?"
"Of course it's to avenge Lord Pachek and destroy Tyrosh!"
Jacaerys knew that Beoro would not understand the viciousness of this move.
So he waved his hand and continued, "You just need to tell your Lord Archon about my plan, and he should understand.
By the way, I burned down the town of Ramo and a city gate in Tyrosh yesterday.
As a result, Maharaja Pachek was not angry at all. Instead, he gave me a valuable gift.
This broad mind is worthy of everyone's learning. Send some people to Myr and Rhino to spread the word! "
Beoro scratched his head in confusion, saluted and replied, "As you command!"
The plan to block sea routes will not show results in the short term.
In addition, there are no medical staff or women on Bloodstone Island except Bachelor Doron.
Yesterday, it was Jacaris who treated and cleaned Benila's wounds.
So after handing over the affairs of Bloodstone Island to Stone and Rudy respectively, he carried Bernilla and rode the dragon back to Dragonstone.
It took twenty-eight days to come here by boat, but it only took half a day to return by Qilong.
When Vermax landed at the Dragon Tower on Dragonstone,
Rhaenyra and Daemon, who had received the raven letter in advance, immediately came forward with their scholars and servants.
The Dragonstone maesters and many servants carefully caught Benilla and carried her into the castle.
Looking at the pale, unconscious Benilla, Renilla turned around and glared at Jacaerys.
Then he said in a sharp voice: "Jacaerys Velaryon, this is what you get for your willful behavior!
You must be responsible for this!"
After saying this, she turned around and accompanied Bernila into the castle.
Compared to Rhaenyra, Daemon's emotions were not as intense.
But Jakaris, who had lived with him for seven years, knew that the calmer he appeared on the outside, the angrier he was inside.
"Xiao Jie, tell me all the details.
Don’t hide or leave anything out.”
"Yes, father!"
Jacaerys nodded in response, then recounted the details of what had happened from the assassination to the burning of the city.
"here you go!
How dare those Tyroshi bastards attack the bloodline of the true dragon.
It seems I'll have to find time to ride Koraxiu to Essos later.
but now……
Xiaojie, what do you think?
Hearing Daemon's question, Jacaerys turned and looked towards the southwest where King's Landing was located.
He said slowly: "Of course the blood debt must be paid with blood!
But Westeros is a little different from Essos."
indeed!
No matter what Jacaerys does in Essos, it will not affect his foundation.
But it’s different in Westeros.
If he dared to ride on Womacks to burn down the Hightower family in Oldtown.
Not to mention the other nobles of the Seven Kingdoms, even the Velaryon family will no longer support him.
Although these nobles are secretly despicable people who like to play dirty tricks.
But everyone openly upholds the rules of this game of power.
You, Jacaerys, can ride your dragon to burn the Hightower family today, and you can burn my family tomorrow.
No noble wants to see such a dragon knight who wantonly breaks the rules of the game!
Rainiera arranged for Bernilla to stay in her lord's bedroom.
Then she instructed the scholar to change the medicine on her wound and asked the maids to clean and wipe her body and change her into comfortable pajamas.
By the time Rainiera had completely settled Benilla down, night had already fallen quietly.
She then sent for a servant to fetch Jacaerys, hoping to speak with him again.
But after waiting for a long time, the servants came back and reported that Prince Jacaerys had already left Dragonstone.
Damon also left with him.
What's more, both of them rode dragons.
Something big is about to happen!
This was the first thought that came to Rainier's mind when she heard this.
She immediately turned and ran towards the dragon's lair on Dragonstone.
