"If she wanted to kill us to silence us, she would have done so already. Why would she keep me here, well-fed and well-provided for? I don't think so; maybe she wants to extract more from us!"
"Don't nobles in Westeros all redeem themselves with golden dragons? Perhaps Daenerys has the same idea? According to the information we gathered, isn't this Princess very fond of money?"
Although Sethly was also worried that Daenerys would not let them go, he still held a glimmer of hope. Moreover, he had a good life in Volantis and did not want to die here.
"It's just that we've already invested all our wealth in this trip. Even if we miraculously return to Volantis, our father might not support us like this again."
Thinking of this, Sethly felt a surge of resentment.
"I shouldn't have listened to you and harbored delusions about dragons. Otherwise, once those three ships of goods were dealt with, we would naturally have made a lot of money. Then, we could have taken the opportunity to befriend some nobles in Westeros, establishing connections here."
Sethu, seeing Sethly blame him entirely, immediately became unhappy.
"Did I make you greedy for dragons? Wasn't our main mission in Westeros this time to find an opportunity to see if we could control dragons?"
"Otherwise, do you think our old man would spend so much on a bastard? Although Senira is a Targaryen Princess by birth, she is ultimately just a courtesan."
"If your ruling father didn't want to use Senira to scheme for the Targaryen Family's dragons, would he look at you, a bastard, with special favor?"
"Now you yourselves are incompetent in gaining the dragons' recognition, and you're pushing the blame onto me?"
Sethly, seeing Sethu, who usually acted subserviently in front of him, dare to speak to him like this, immediately became enraged.
"You truly are worthy of being the son of a lowly merchant, your mind filled with only gains, losses, and schemes."
"According to our original plan, we were just trying our best to bribe the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms to help us gain the recognition of the Targaryen Royal Family, hoping to have a chance to obtain their Dragon Eggs. If you hadn't brought up the news of Glutton and persuaded us to take a big gamble, how would we have ended up in this situation?"
"And didn't you also instigate Sevan to participate in their martial arts tournament, to make a good impression on the two young princesses of the Royal Family, so he could marry a Princess?"
Sevan, seeing them getting more and more out of line and even involving him, immediately spoke up to stop them, displeased.
"Enough, stop bickering here!"
"Princess Daenerys will not harm us; otherwise, she wouldn't have sent someone to treat me and provide us with good food and drink."
"Moreover, I noticed that when Princess Daenerys questioned us, she was more focused on the Hightower Family of Oldtown."
"So…"
Just as he said this, Sevan suddenly heard the sound of fighting outside. The few of them immediately fell silent and vigilantly listened to the commotion at the door.
A moment later, the door was suddenly kicked open, and a group of people in well-made green armor burst in. The leader was Mond Hightower, holding a valyrian steel sword.
"Who are you?"
Although Sevan was still recovering from severe injuries, he still chose to stand in front of the three of them, as he had always been the strong one among them.
Mond Hightower's eyes were filled with madness at this moment.
"Naturally, we are here to rescue you!"
"I am Mond Hightower; it was my grandfather who sent your mother out of Oldtown back then."
"If you want to live, follow me. There will be another opportunity for you later!"
Sethu was overjoyed at these words and immediately rushed to the front.
"Are you serious? Are you really here to save us?"
Mond Hightower said impatiently,
"Don't waste any more time. If more people are alerted, it will be troublesome to leave."
"Okay, I'll go with you!"
Sethu didn't want to stay here for another moment, so he quickly prepared to pack up and leave, but then he realized he had nothing to take. So he grudgingly stood beside Mond Hightower.
Sethu and Sethly, however, did not want to leave with this unknown son of the Hightower Family, so Sethly spoke up,
"You've come here so brazenly and killed people; aren't you afraid the Targaryen Royal Family won't spare your family?"
"That's none of your concern. Since I dare to do it, I dare to bear any consequences."
Mond Hightower's eyes had turned bloodshot at this point.
"Stop talking nonsense. Follow me or die now, you choose!"
Seeing that Mond Hightower had said it to this extent, Sevan and Sethly could not say anything more and obediently stood beside him.
Escorted by more than thirty Hightower Family knights and retainers, they quickly rushed to the Fire Burial Tower. They directly cut down the few guards stationed there and then hurried towards the Dragon Eggs incubation room.
"These are Dragon Eggs?"
Sethly and the other two looked at the three Dragon Eggs roasting on the brazier and immediately spoke in disbelief.
"You... how?"
Sethly instantly understood why Mond Hightower wanted to save them.
Only those of the Targaryen Family can hatch Dragon Eggs and control dragons. And the three of them all happened to have excellent Dragon King bloodlines.
Sevan and Sethu also understood immediately. The three couldn't help but exchange glances, and at the same time, a bad premonition arose in their hearts.
"It seems things have gotten serious!"
Sevan couldn't help but press his still not fully recovered wound, and blood immediately gushed out.
"Ah!"
In pain, Sevan had to cover his wound with his hand first, then quietly walked to the wall and leaned against it. However, at this moment, no one noticed his small action.
It can be said that in this world, dragons are almost every man's dream. Now, three exquisite Dragon Eggs were laid out alive before them, and everyone couldn't help but stare in a daze.
"They say Dragon Eggs are as exquisite as the most beautiful gemstones, and it's truly well-deserved!"
The sworn knight beside Mond Hightower couldn't help but exclaim.
"Yes! To have the good fortune to see them now is truly not in vain this life!"
"I heard that these three Dragon Eggs were personally selected by Princess Daenerys from King's Landing Dragonpit some time ago."
The people around Mond also couldn't help but chime in and agree.
Hearing Daenerys's name, a hint of tenderness appeared on Mond Hightower's mad face.
He reached out his hand and slowly touched the Dragon Egg. Through his leather glove, he still felt a warmth.
"It's really hot, hotter than a dragon's scales!"
Mond Hightower, while touching the Dragon Egg, immersed himself in his beautiful memories.
Although the three Dragon Eggs were already scorching hot from being roasted, Mond Hightower still personally took them out of the brazier and placed them in the bags that the attendants had prepared earlier.
The sturdy leather bags sizzled from the high temperature of the Dragon Eggs, and Mond Hightower's leather gloves were burned through, but he didn't care at all.
"Go!"
After getting the Dragon Eggs, the group rushed non-stop towards the beach. Several Hightower Family three-masted ships were already docked there.
