The two carrier pigeons flew high into the sky, riding the strong winds, and flew towards the west.
On the way, one carrier pigeon was attracted by a fish in the sea, swooping down from high altitude, trying to catch the fish, but a large mouth suddenly emerged from the water and swallowed the entire carrier pigeon.
The other carrier pigeon was much steadier. After a day and night of long-distance flight, it finally flew over Sunspear. After circling in the sky a few times, it landed in the eagle's nest in Sunspear.
The falconer guarding the eagle's nest immediately removed the copper tube from the eagle's claw and quickly sent it to the supervisor.
The supervisor looked at the mark on the surface of the copper tube and ordered it to be sent to the Water Gardens outside the city.
When the city messenger delivered the copper tube to the Water Gardens, Doran Martell was focused on watching the children of his retainers playing in the garden, his brows slightly furrowed due to physical pain, but his face always carried a gentle smile.
Beside Doran Martell, Oberyn Martell (The Red Viper) lay on a lounge chair, eating fruit from a plate, attended by his lover Ellaria Sand.
"My Lord, a letter from the east," the garden steward came to Doran Martell with the letter copper tube and whispered.
Doran Martell's smile faded upon hearing this. He reached out and took the copper tube, looked at the seal on it, then opened it, poured out the letter, and read it carefully.
The Red Viper also sat up from the lounge chair, watching Doran Martell, and asked, "From Lorath? Or from Qarth?"
"From Qarth," Doran Martell handed the letter in his hand to the Red Viper.
The Red Viper quickly read it, handed it to his lover beside him, then turned to Doran Martell and asked, "What are your thoughts?"
Doran Martell pondered for a moment and said, "I want Quentyn to go to Qarth to meet this Mother of Dragons and propose to her."
"Impossible, she won't agree," The Red Viper shook his head and said.
"I know," Doran Martell nodded.
"You know and still let Quentyn…" The Red Viper looked puzzled, but soon thought of something and said, "Are you testing her?"
"Partially," Doran Martell looked far to the north and said, "Linde Terra's appearance has broken many rules. All plans have been disrupted. Unbeknownst to us, he has become an insurmountable mountain blocking our path. Unless we can level the mountain, it will be difficult for us to achieve our goals."
"Level the mountain, are you crazy?" The Red Viper looked at Doran Martell strangely and said, "Leaving aside whether we can win, do you know that Kings Grave City, Skyreach, Yronwood, Torr City, Godgrace, and Soul Hill are all in league with Summerhall? If we want to move against Summerhall, they will immediately intervene to stop us."
"I know," Doran Martell sighed and said, "That's why I want to test Daenerys Targaryen. If she still has the determination to contend for the Iron Throne, then she will definitely accept our proposal because we are her only choice. But if she doesn't have the determination to contend for the Iron Throne, then she will certainly refuse to marry us. In either case, we need to think of ways to deal with it in advance."
"To be honest, I don't think that Daenerys can contend with Lynd," The Red Viper said with a serious expression, "Although that Daenerys has three dragons, her three dragons are completely incomparable to Lynd's dragons. Just the Sea Dragon Glutton alone is far from what an ordinary giant dragon can contend with. And I have also seen Lynd's other giant dragon; that giant dragon is simply like it came from the Seven Hells. It is said that he also has a third dragon, that dragon is even stranger with four legs and two pairs of wings. It should now be left by him in Valyria. Facing these three giant dragons, Daenerys's three young dragons are just three snacks."
"What you can think of, Daenerys can also think of. She is smarter than you imagine," Doran Martell pointed to the letter and said, "Obara also mentioned in the letter that Daenerys often says the Iron Throne is like a Targaryen curse, which indicates that she actually doesn't want to return to Westeros."
Ellaria Sand said, "You want to use Quentyn to force her to give up the Iron Throne herself?"
