The journey of film and television world is endless

Balon Greyjoy's reliance on the sea moats and the total annihilation of the Iron Fleet shattered the Ironborn's spine, leaving the Iron Islands without naval protection. Stannis's performance in the war earned Robert's praise, and even the Reach lords who had opposed him gained Robert's trust. Subsequently, the royal fleet returned to Lannisport.

On this day, countless ships anchored off the coast of Lannisport. From a distance, the sails blotted out the sky, numbering over a thousand. Among those ships, Liu Yuan spotted a uniquely designed large vessel, the sigil of House Celtigar emblazoned on its sails, unmistakably his 'Dawnstar'.

That evening, King Robert, availing himself of his father-in-law's territory, hosted a banquet at Casterly Rock for all the commanders of the expeditionary force. Of course, only high-ranking lords and key generals were qualified to enter the main banquet hall, while the rest were accommodated in separate side halls. Among the lords who responded to the King's call, House Celtigar ranked among the top five in terms of troops contributed. Naturally, they were favored by King Robert, so Liu Yuan accompanied Lord Adrian to the banquet.

This was also the first time the father and son had seen each other in seven years, and both felt somewhat awkward. Lord Adrian looked at this son he had raised outside with mixed feelings, and Liu Yuan felt even more uncomfortable, finding it difficult to call out the word 'father'.

Adrian's feelings for Galon were also complex. He had originally intended to groom this bastard son into a capable assistant for his legitimate heir. Therefore, after Liu Yuan rescued his family, he used this as a reason to readmit him to the family as an adopted son. However, he didn't expect that this child would continuously demonstrate his abilities after going to the Citadel, expanding the family's wealth and even establishing connections with established families like the Hightowers, collaborating to run several workshops.

Especially during the recent War of the Usurper, after he was captured, Liu Yuan took a series of measures and even raised huge sums of money to spare him from imprisonment. From that moment on, he planned to let this younger son start his own branch. Because he could see that Galon's future achievements would certainly not be limited to this.

Once Galon returned to Claw Isle and put the two sons together, Becket would definitely not be able to compete with Galon. So Adrian directly allocated the Oldtown property to him, which was a way of separation tacitly approved by Lady Mia.

Previously, Adrian had been following the Royal Navy, and just as they sailed out of the Redwyne Straits, several large ships flying the Celtigar banner took the initiative to join the Celtigar fleet. In addition to the hundred or so sailors on board, there were also 100 elite warriors. After carefully questioning Centurion Byke, he learned from him that Galon had already taken three hundred elite warriors to Casterly Rock. He couldn't help but admire that this son had developed a considerable force in five years.

In the recent Battle of Fair Isle, the Dawnstar performed remarkably, independently destroying five longships of the Iron Fleet. Moreover, the warriors on board also demonstrated formidable combat capabilities, claiming more than two hundred Ironborn heads without losing a single man. This not only impressed him but also earned him a good impression in front of Stannis.

Although they were both awkward, they maintained a facade of filial piety on the surface. Liu Yuan walked half a step behind Adrian, side by side with him, smiling and greeting acquaintances. There were not many female guests at this victory banquet; most people wore formal attire, but many also wore lighter armor. King Robert was in a very good mood today and proposed a toast with the nobles. Later, Stannis said a few words in his ear, and then he and Robert walked towards Adrian.

Robert said to him with a smile, "Lord Adrian, you did very well this time. I heard from Stannis that your House Celtigar not only dispatched 50 warships but also provided over 800 armed soldiers. Thank you very much for your support; rest assured, I will not forget it."

Adrian bowed and said, "It is my honor and the honor of House Celtigar to serve the King."

Robert said with a smile, "Haha, no need to be so formal. Lord Celtigar, let's have a drink. Seeing that you have such a valiant son, I am truly envious!"

After Adrian clinked glasses with Robert, he also complimented, "Your Majesty, you don't need to worry! I believe Prince Joffrey will grow up to be a magnificent warrior like you."

"Hahahaha! Lord, you are a truly interesting person. Let's chat often in the future, perhaps we can find more common ground. Well, I have to go to others now. See you later."

"Farewell, Your Majesty, please..." Adrian bowed slightly, and Stannis also stared at them and said, "You did well, I'll remember you." He was expressionless from beginning to end, and Liu Yuan was speechless; this person's praise sounded like a threat. The middle-aged man who had been following Stannis politely smiled and saluted the two of them.

"That is Davos Seaworth, the Onion Knight. You should have heard of his deeds! See his left hand? Stannis personally chopped off four of his fingers." Adrian spoke to break the silence, looking at Liu Yuan's tall figure, and said, "Galon, you've grown so much in a few years, I'm very pleased. You did well this time, and you've left a good impression on the King. As long as you perform well in the upcoming battles, you will be rewarded after the war and embark on the true path of a lord."

Liu Yuan said, "I understand, Father. Actually, I have been preparing for this war for three years. You know, my information channels in the Citadel are very well-informed. Balon Greyjoy began building warships and training sailors on a large scale as early as five years ago. The iron ore exported from the Iron Islands to the mainland has been decreasing year by year since three years ago, until it completely stopped a few months ago."

"So you prepared for war in advance?" Adrian asked him.

Liu Yuan shrugged and said, "Not really, but I was worried that merchant ships would be attacked by pirates. So I originally planned to return to Claw Isle to attend Becket's wedding. I have already sent a group of people back to Claw Isle to fortify the castle. Greyjoy's rebellion disrupted my plans."

Adrian said, "I got the news that Becket already held the wedding in Seaworth ahead of time. He is now rushing to the front line with the Northern army and is expected to arrive at Seagard soon. You brothers haven't seen each other in seven years. If he knows you are here too, he will be very happy."

Liu Yuan nodded, "It's been a long time. I happen to have a gift for him, which I originally intended as a wedding gift. There is also one for you, in my camp." What could he say? Tell a little kid he'd only known for less than half a year about brotherly affection?!
