TBF, the first thing he did was eat several barrels of cod oil, ruining the family profits for the year...

But since we have a dragon now, no one is going to come and collect our taxes anytime soon.:V

So... thats something to consider. Our family no longer pays taxes, and that gets the governments attention.

Do you mean more the Daemon?

Impossible. He literally started a war with trading cartels and pirates.

Jaeger: Why is one house on Dragonstone not paying taxes being brought to me? Just send the tax collector with guards if needed.

Jaehaerys:....I'm really sending a dragon rider to a small house to just collect taxes aren't I?

Otto: I'm afraid so, Your Grace.

And now you know how the Small council sees this incident.

Lots of headaches and oppetunity.

Lol. Targs fear us. The last thing they want is to teach us how to fight.

I'll stick around and read the next update. You've given me enough worthwhile quests to get that much, but aside from being a boy, nothing I wanted from this quest is has been passed, and I actively dislike the MCs appearance, father, and especially the dragon at 3 thing.

Think of the shinnanigans that will be in the first update...

This is basically Canibal v Grey Ghost, fighting over a small lost child.

And how everyone reacts to it.

Dragons are mearly a side show (and powerful weapons)

This is a time of political intrigue and shenanigans.

That I will enjoy immensely once it gets started.
 
The thought has occurred to me, though I don't know if someone already asked this, are we going to get the chance to interact with the shepherd before he can get to the whole instigating of the smallfolk and subsequent storming of the Dragonpit?

That will not happen for a very long time.

Hell, we might not even be able to due to geographic... issues.
 
Well....Fear Step mom because she knows people and won't take shit from anyone. Was a servant of Dragonstone but now a Healer.

Dad seems like a pretty good captain. More good at the running a ship and making money than fighting but hey still good skills to have.

Well Lucien got the makings of going out to sea. Just need a few more skills and to learn how to ride Greyghost. Curious on who will do that?.....It gonna be Alysanne isn't it? She's never gonna let go Lucien.

He's to afraid of what he might bring to us, then a dragon.

Dragon's he's seen most of his life.

Asshai... what he saw could not be unseen.

Step mom is really awesome, and can really help us with dealing with the court in the future, whether it be Dragonstone or King's Landing.

Well he never fought in a war, only against pirates.

And he joined the Sea Snake on one of his final voyeges. So... yeah.

And we need money. because we're going to need it in the future.

He does. What, you expected him to be literate at his age, with no books and writing material?

Sorry.

Alysanne won't do that unfortunately.

She's queen consort after all, and both of the king and queen are in failing health.
