Chapter 133 - The Battle of Haigh Castle (VII)
"Let's make this continent call out the name of House Targaryen once more." - Rhaenys Targaryen, Princess of Vengeance.
----
"Visenya, mount Syrax and make the castle open its gates." Looking at his wife, still sitting on his lap, Aenar ordered with a gentle tone.
Visenya's eyes lit up when she heard Aenar's words. House Haigh's castle had to open its gates or be destroyed. She didn't want to destroy it, especially since Aenar might award it to some soldier who won glory in the war.
"I'll go too." Rhaenys' eyes showed the same emotion as Visenya's. How could she miss the chance to make a castle surrender to House Targaryen?
"Yes, but no burning the castle." Aenar agreed, but warned them both not to set fire to House Haigh's fortress.
Visenya got up from Aenar's lap and left the tent with a big smile on her face. Rhaenys followed her aunt with the same determined look.
Looking at Oberyn, covered in blood, Aenar asked in a cheerful tone, regardless of being surrounded by corpses: "My Master of Laws, do you wish any reward?"
As king, Aenar knew he had to be decisive in both punishments and rewards. Only when there was motivation would people give their all to achieve something. That's why he was fully aware that he had to reward those who deserved it and punish the offenders.
Oberyn looked surprised, but for a moment his gaze was confused before he made a decision.
"Your Grace, if possible, I want to legitimize my daughters."
