Exchange prisoners? Hmph, after I kill you, I will naturally go find Lucerys and Joffrey.
I will even turn the entire King's Landing upside down if I have to!"
Hearing Daemon's words, Jacaerys's eyes flickered, and he deliberately spoke loudly to probe.
As expected, Daemon immediately replied, "It's useless, because your two brothers are not in King's Landing.
Spare their lives!
I swear by the name Targaryen that I will personally bring them both before you."
Daemon was a very proud man.
Seeing him swear by his family name as a guarantee, Jacaerys naturally believed he would fulfill his promise.
But now that the two sides had already fallen out, it was impossible for Daemon to gain an advantage in this deal.
After a moment of thought, Jacaerys said, "I agree. You can take them both, but these two dragons must remain in King's Landing."
Without Meleys and Sheepstealer, Rhaenys and Ricinus, even if they were alive, would not pose any threat to Jacaerys.
Daemon, who knew Jacaerys's character well, did not haggle and immediately nodded in agreement, "Deal!"
He carefully maneuvered Caraxes towards the two dragons lying on the ground.
Sheepstealer, thrown to the ground by Womax, was too weak to stand due to excessive blood loss, but Ricinus on its saddle was unharmed.
So, the other party quickly climbed onto the rope ladder on Caraxes and reached behind Daemon.
Rhaenys was unconscious and could only be gently held by Caraxes's claws.
Whoosh, whoosh!
Caraxes's blood-red dragon silhouette quickly disappeared to the northeast of King's Landing.
This civil war, which could have potentially led to a second Blood Dragon Dance, thus ended hastily.
Although today's battle destroyed parts of the Dragonpit, it did not scorch the ground with dragonflame as in the previous battle of King's Landing.
So Jacaerys immediately summoned the Dragon Guard to treat Sheepstealer's wounds.
Dragons have incredible regenerative abilities; as long as the bleeding is stopped, this type of injury would heal in no time.
Compared to Sheepstealer, who was basically unable to resist, Meleys, whose wings were extensively burned by Silverwing and Seasmoke, still had some fighting capability.
Sunfyre looked eager to fight after it landed, but due to the significant size difference between them, it did not dare to engage in close combat.
When a dragon known for its flying speed is grounded, it is no longer formidable.
Bang!
Womax's massive dragon body descended from the sky, and its huge dragon claws easily pinned down Meleys's dragon neck like an eagle catching a chick.
After working with the Dragon Guard to imprison these two dragons in the lowest level of the Dragonpit, Jacaerys then rode his dragon to the Red Keep.
When they saw Womax, Silverwing, and Seasmoke soaring through the sky, the lords of the Seven Kingdoms knew who had won this hasty civil war.
The House Velaryon soldiers guarding the Red Keep were very sensible. Seeing that the tide had turned, they immediately knelt and surrendered.
Baela, who had returned to the Red Keep earlier on horseback, had already released Stone, Korman, Earl Samwell, and others from the Black Jail.
The Red Keep quickly changed hands, returning to Jacaerys's control.
In fact, it can be seen from this that Daemon was somewhat reluctantly involved in Rhaenys's usurpation plan.
Because apart from the nearly five hundred House Velaryon soldiers stationed in the Red Keep, the remaining personnel were still in the fleet in Blackwater Bay.
The city defenses of King's Landing were still under the control of the Frey Family soldiers and the Gold Cloaks.
Having witnessed Jacaerys's previous brutal actions, the lords of the Seven Kingdoms who had sworn allegiance to Little Aegon were all on edge.
When Jacaerys, standing proudly on Womax's back, loudly announced that he would let bygones be bygones regarding today's events.
These lords of the Seven Kingdoms immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, they all inwardly thanked Jacaerys for his mercy.
Their psychology was quite peculiar!
For example, Viserys I would give them one hundred golden dragons every year, but this year, for some reason, he only gave fifty.
The lords of the Seven Kingdoms would not say anything on the surface, but secretly they would label Viserys I as stingy and petty.
However, Jacaerys would force them to pay one hundred golden dragons to respect him every year, but this year, because he was in a good mood, he reduced it by fifty golden dragons.
The lords of the Seven Kingdoms would then compliment and praise Jacaerys with gratitude.
After dismissing the lords of the Seven Kingdoms, Stone and others knelt on the ground with a thud and begged Jacaerys for forgiveness.
Jacaerys knew that this could not be blamed on their lack of vigilance, after all, even he had not expected Daemon to rebel.
After comforting them for a while, Jacaerys gave instructions for the preparations for his coronation.
Although Stone and others had been imprisoned, they had not suffered any torture, so they immediately took their leave after receiving the order.
Finally, only Jacaerys and the silent Baela remained.
Since the Throne Room was full of severed limbs and corpses, and Jacaerys was covered in dried blood.
So he took Baela back to the King's chambers in Maegor's Holdfast.
To welcome Little Aegon, who was about to become the new king, it had been cleaned thoroughly in advance, and everything that needed to be replaced had been replaced with new items.
After the maidservants filled the oversized bathtub that could accommodate three or four people simultaneously with hot water, Jacaerys impatiently removed his armor and lay down.
Baela's eyes flickered, then she waved her hand to dismiss the maidservants, undressed, and personally washed Jacaerys's body.
Westerners do indeed mature very early.
This girl Baela's two prominent points had already taken shape, and the lush grass below was actually a rare silver color, just like her hair.
It was now 128 AC, and by the year, Jacaerys had reached the age he had anticipated.
He was not Liu Xiahui; it was impossible for him to have no reaction to such a beautiful sight.
But he forcefully suppressed the fire in his heart and sighed heavily, "Alas ~ Baela, you don't need to try so hard to please me!
When I was fighting in the Dragonpit, you returned to the Red Keep in advance to release Stone and the others.
I believe that you did not participate in Daemon and Rhaenys's plan.
So, you don't need to explain anything to me either."
"Jie! I've been with you since I was little, so I know your character.
They are my father, my grandmother, and also your relatives.
So, I beg you to spare their lives!"
Hearing this, Baela looked at Jacaerys's eyes with a serious expression and said.
Jacaerys also looked directly into her eyes and replied word by word, "I promise you, but let them go!
Go far away, to Essos.
With Caraxes and the true dragon bloodline of Targaryen, they can live a wealthy life wherever they are."
"Thank you, thank you, Jie!"
Feeling Jacaerys's sincerity, Baela wept with joy and repeatedly thanked him.
Then, like a mermaid from a movie in his previous life, she first looked at Jacaerys with affectionate eyes, and then slowly submerged her head in the water.
It was difficult to refuse the lady's kind invitation. Could he still be considered a man if he refused at this moment?
In the world of Game of Thrones, every town might not have an inn, but it would not lack a brothel.
Baela had no practical experience, but to serve Jacaerys well in the future, she had secretly sought out the prostitutes of Dragonclaw Village to learn various experiences.
So the King's chambers had a feeling of springtime overflowing.
Finally, at dinner time, Baela was simply unable to get up normally to eat.
After Jacaerys enjoyed a hearty dinner alone, he ordered the maidservants to send Baela's dinner to the King's chambers.
After a refreshing dinner, Baela was definitely unable to continue discussing life.
So, it was time for another entertainment program that Jacaerys had long been looking forward to.
He paced to the Black Jail of the Red Keep and found Aemond, whose limbs had been broken.
As soon as he saw Jacaerys, Aemond, whose mouth had been healed for eating, immediately cursed loudly.
The annoyed Jacaerys slapped his jaw out of joint again with one hand, and the Black Jail instantly fell silent.
To avoid killing Aemond all at once, Jacaerys chose the simplest needle torture.
This type of torture was often seen in domestic dramas in his previous life, where the protagonist could generally endure it.
But in reality, the ten fingers are connected to the heart; inserting needles or similar sharp objects into the fingernail gap may seem like minor damage, but the tortured person will feel excruciating pain.
To avenge Rhaenyra, Jacaerys called two personal guards to hold down Aemond and then personally administered the torture.
Aemond's mournful screams immediately echoed throughout the Black Jail.
Aemond had previously seemed bloodthirsty and cruel, but when the torture was actually inflicted upon him, he couldn't endure it at all.
After two needles were inserted, because his jaw was dislocated and he couldn't speak, he directly knelt on the ground and repeatedly kowtowed to surrender.
But Jacaerys would not stop his revenge and continued the torture without being moved.
That night, Aemond's screams lasted for a very long time.
Time flowed quickly, and three days passed just like that.
Jacaerys had a very fulfilling three days, both physically and mentally, receiving ample release.
On the morning of the fourth day, the Frey Family soldiers responsible for the city defenses of King's Landing, as well as the Gold Cloaks, drove large numbers of King's Landing commoners towards Aegon's Square in the center of King's Landing.
This feeling was familiar to the commoners of King's Landing, because during Aemond's bloody coronation before, they had also been driven to the Dragonpit in this manner.
Upon arriving at Aegon's Square, these tens of thousands of King's Landing commoners found that a temporary platform of bluestone, about three to four meters high, had been built in the center.
It was impossible to build this bluestone platform in a short time by human strength alone; Jacaerys had ordered Silverwing and Seasmoke to help build it.
Apart from being top-tier combat power, dragons are actually also considered top-tier productivity.
The Iron Throne back then would not have been able to be cast so simply without the help of Balerion the Black Dread.
But unfortunately, the Targaryen family would not lower themselves to have dragons constantly do these miscellaneous tasks.
Rustling, rustling!
As more and more commoners gathered in King's Landing, the scene began to become noisy.
Following the commoners, the lords of the Seven Kingdoms also entered the square under the protection of their family soldiers.
However, compared to the extremely crowded commoners, they had relatively spacious seats in front of the bluestone platform.
After that, Baela, supported by maidservants, entered the square under the protection of Korman and the The Unsullied Legion.
Whoosh, whoosh!
When the important figures had all arrived, a sound of dragon wings cutting through the air came from the direction of the Dragonpit on Rhaenys' Hill.
Then, three dragons with wingspans that seemed to cover the sky hovered at a low altitude above Aegon's Square.
Ah!
A cry of surprise rang out, as many people witnessed a black figure leap from the back of the largest ink-colored dragon.
Although the three dragons were hovering at a low altitude, they still maintained a height of nearly twenty meters from the ground.
This height was enough to kill even the strongest knight in the Seven Kingdoms.
Thud!
Crack!
The black figure slammed heavily onto the giant bluestone platform, accompanied by the sound of bluestone cracking.
After a few seconds of stillness, under the gaze of hundreds of thousands of eyes, the black figure stood up unharmed.
The lords of the Seven Kingdoms, in the best viewing position, were all dumbfounded; this was something completely impossible for a human to do.
Jacaerys, wearing black Conqueror's scale armor and carrying Blackfyre and vigilance, surveyed the surroundings and was very satisfied with the shocking effect he had caused by descending from the sky.
He recalled the lines he had prepared and said in a loud voice, "First, I thank everyone for coming today to witness my coronation ceremony!
You may be confused after hearing this, as there are no High Septons or Archbishops of the Church of the Seven here.
That is because my power does not come from the gods, but from them!"
Everyone in Aegon's Square followed Jacaerys's suddenly raised right hand and saw the three dragons in the sky.
Seeing that the crowd below had refocused their attention on him, Jacaerys roared at the top of his voice, "Therefore... my coronation ceremony does not need any gods to witness it!
Bring me my crown!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Stone, who had been waiting nearby, walked quickly to Jacaerys with the Conqueror's Crown held in both hands, his expression solemn.
After the other party took the Conqueror's Crown with both hands, Stone immediately stepped aside.
Under the gaze of hundreds of thousands of eyes, Jacaerys slowly placed the Conqueror's Crown on his head with both hands,
While shouting loudly, "From this moment on, I shall be renamed Jacaerys Targaryen!"
When the Conqueror's Crown was firmly placed on Jacaerys's head, which was covered in black hair, Stone, standing beside him, shouted at the top of his voice, "Behold the King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men,
Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, Protector of the Realm, King of the Narrow Sea and the Stepstones, Burner of the Seas, Destroyer of Tyrosh, Conqueror of Myr,
Valyrian Dragon Lord, the true dragon, Jacaerys Targaryen I!"
"Behold Jacaerys Targaryen I, may your reign be long and peaceful!"
Hearing Stone's shout, the lords of the Seven Kingdoms in the front were the first to react.
In addition to the usual greeting, they also added their blessings to their words.
And this sentence quickly spread, and finally, everyone in Aegon's Square simultaneously shouted the same sentence.
Listening to the blessings from the crowd below, which sounded like a mountain roaring and a sea surging, Jacaerys's mouth bloomed with a brilliant smile.
After eight years of transmigration, from today onwards, I am the king!
