Chapter 238 Some people are born as cattle and horses, and some are born in Rome
Jack waved his hand and said, "I am not that hungry yet. Next, I am going to attack the Iron Islands and the southern nobles. You two should not participate in the war."
"impossible!"
"impossible!"
Asha and Daenerys said in unison that taking back the Iron Islands was Asha's obsession, and conquering Westeros was Daenerys's obsession.
Now that they have the opportunity to realize their obsession, they naturally will not give up. Besides, the baby in the belly is only two months old, so it is not a big problem.
Jack was very upset when he saw this, but he knew the persistence of these two women very well, so he said, "Then you can't fight in person, you can only command or supervise the battle from behind.
Especially you, Dany, you are not allowed to ride a dragon into battle yourself, you can only use the dragon spirit state to control Drogon to participate in the battle. "
"No problem!" Daenerys agreed immediately. Seeing this, Alexander immediately asked if they were going to fight a war.
Elizabeth was more direct, "Father, father, can I go to the battlefield to take a look? I won't run around. I will follow you obediently."
Jack's face turned serious. "Nonsense, the battlefield is full of dangers. What are you two doing there? What if you get hurt?"
Even though the two little guys seem to be given for free, Jack cares about them very much.
Now, for Jack, the two little ones, Alexander and Elizabeth, are his children first, and then the crown princes of the empire.
But Elizabeth obviously found Jack's weakness. She looked at Jack with tears in her eyes and cried softly, "Daddy, please, I will be obedient!"
"Okay, but you have to stay with me the whole time and don't leave my sight."
Alexander's face lit up with joy. He naturally wanted to go too. It was too boring to stay in the castle all the time.
So Alexander also said coquettishly: "Dad~, I"
Before he could finish his words, Jack interrupted and said, "Shut up, what's wrong with you? As the future emperor of the empire, how can you speak in such a tone?"
"???" Alexander suddenly felt under great pressure and didn't understand why his father suddenly scolded him again.
Looking at Alexander's confused look, Jack suddenly sighed, because the two little guys were growing so fast, he often forgot their real age.
"Alexander, you are different from your sister. You are the crown prince and the future emperor of Atlantis. Your every word and action represents the empire. Sending you to the battlefield means risking the future of the empire."
It would have been fine if Jack didn't say anything, but as soon as he said it, Alexander felt even more aggrieved and started crying.
"But I don't want to be an emperor. I just want to be an adventurer. I want to explore every corner of the world. I don't like being an emperor!"
Jack frowned. He considered himself an open-minded parent who would respect and support his children's interests and hobbies.
But Alexander is different. He is the heir apparent and the future emperor.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Elizabeth in Jack's arms suddenly said, "If you don't want it, just give it to me. It's so good at home, why do you have to go out?"
The two children didn't know what the position of crown prince meant.
Alexander likes to explore everywhere, while Elizabeth simply feels that home is better than anywhere else, and everyone is very polite to her. What a great feeling.
But just because the two children didn't know didn't mean that the other people present didn't know. Even Lyanna and Myrcella looked at Jack. The only sound in the whole room was the gurgling hot pot.
Jack had not expected this to happen. He frowned and spoke after a moment,
"You are still young and don't know what this means. If you two still have the same idea in ten years, I will arrange it according to your ideas."
Daenerys opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't know what she was thinking of, and she swallowed the words back.
Finally, Jack decided to take Alexander to see a real battlefield. As long as they hid behind, the danger would not be very great.
But Alexander had his own ideas. After everyone finished their meal and rested at night, Alexander opened his eyes in bed.
Alexander and Elizabeth each rested in their own room, with their respective dragons guarding the door.
He tiptoed to open the door, and the moment he opened the door, Brother Lei immediately turned his head to look.
Seeing Alexander hanging a huge backpack behind the dragon saddle, his dragon eyes showed human doubts. What is this little ancestor going to do?
However, Alexander's dragon-controlling talent is much stronger than Elizabeth's. Lei Ge has no strength to resist and is directly controlled by Alexander in the dragon spirit state.
After Alexander sat on the dragon saddle, he controlled Lei Ge to move quietly until he was far away from the prince's palace, then he suddenly took off and flew to the south.
The howling wind and snow did not make Alexander feel uncomfortable. It was not only because of his special physique that could withstand the cold wind, but more importantly, it was because of his warm heart.
"What a rubbish the crown prince position is. It's just being the emperor. I don't care about it."
Alexander danced with excitement, a long-lost feeling coming over him.
He felt that this might be the freedom that Grandpa Newgate had said the former slaves longed for.
If some people knew what Alexander was thinking, they would definitely scold him for being ungrateful.
But that's how the world is. Some people are born to be cattle and horses, while others are born in Rome.
But people in Rome want to escape from Rome and pursue what they like.
Of course, people in Rome also have the confidence to pursue their hobbies.

Chapter 239 The Disappearing Imperial Prince
In 303 AC, a major event occurred in the Empire.
It is said that the heir to the empire chose to run away from home because he loved adventure and was not interested in the throne.
People all sighed that this family was different, and when they ran away from home, they rode on a dragon.
However, people were not too surprised because a princess of the Targaryen family also ran away riding a dragon.
But at that time, she was a princess, and she was riding the largest black death, Balerion, while now this one is a prince, and the dragon he rides is not that big.
But what happened to that princess wasn't very good, which made many citizens in the North worried.
After all, they love Jack, the King of the Sea, and naturally have a lot of good feelings towards the successor designated by the King of the Sea.
In the Silver Palace, Jack asked the cabinet to immediately arrange someone to inquire about Alexander's whereabouts.
He had just woken up this morning when he learned that Alexander was missing and thought he had been kidnapped.
However, the Prince's Palace has many guards and a strong defense force, so it is absolutely impossible for someone to be kidnapped quietly.
What's more, Korakshu was entrenched in the Prince's Palace, and if there was any scent of a stranger, he would have discovered it long ago.
But when Jack found that Lei Ge was also missing, he immediately guessed that the little bastard had run away from home.
This made Jack very angry. According to the description of the guard on duty last night, he saw the green dragon flying south, but the dragons sometimes moved at night, so he didn't pay much attention to it at the time.
"Damn it, if I find him, I'm going to break his legs!" Jack slammed the table angrily.
Even running away from home on a dragon is not absolutely safe. Not to mention that Alexander has almost no social experience, the monsters hidden in the Game of Thrones world are deadly enough.
Princess Arya of the Targaryen family was a living example.
Princess Aerea Targaryen flew away on Balerion's back in late 54 AC.
They were gone for over a year without a trace, disappearing into the horizon.
When Balerion finally returned to King's Landing in 56 AC, he descended upon the Red Keep courtyard, with Aerea no longer able to cling to the beams on his back.
The princess was seriously ill and died tragically soon after.
Septon Bath reported in detail Balerion's condition, including his bone-piercing wounds and half-healed scars.
The dragon's left side had a hideous, jagged tear that was almost nine feet long, with fresh blood still oozing out of it, steaming and emitting smoke.
Even a dragon of Balerion's size could be hurt so badly, let alone Rhaegal, a tiny creature less than ten meters tall!
After returning to her residence, Daenerys stepped forward to comfort Jack and told him not to worry too much. "Alexander is very smart. He will be fine. I believe the cabinet will find him soon."
Jack rubbed his brows in annoyance. "Let's hope so. Lei Ge is not very old and his flying speed is not very fast. I hope Korakxiu can find him."
After discovering that Alexander had run away from home on Rhaegal, Jack sent Carax and Drogon out to search for him.
As for Viserion, Jack didn't let her go out to look for Rhaegal, because Jack was afraid that Viserion would get lost by himself.
Suddenly, Jack looked at Elizabeth beside him, with light in his eyes.
A child's character can be seen from an early age. Although changing the heir will cause a certain degree of turmoil, Elizabeth's character is obviously more like that of an empress.
As for Alexander, this little bastard not only wants to go out and explore, but he also gets carried away and likes to do things based on his personal preferences.
Thinking of this, Jack suddenly had the idea of making Elizabeth the empress, but all this would have to wait for a few years.
He also wanted to try to correct Alexander's character, at least to make him calmer.
But Jack was obviously going to be disappointed.
Three months passed, and until April 303 AC, Alexander Poseidon himself had still not been found.
Although someone discovered Rhaegal's traces in Dorne and saw him flying towards the western sea.
So Jack rode on Koraxus to search in Essos, even Sothoryos and Ultes were not spared.
During the search, Jack discovered that the continent of Sothoryos should be about the same size as the continent of Westeros, and 90% of the land was covered by virgin forests.
The only difference is that Sothoryos is different from the rectangular continental plate of Westeros. Sothoryos should be a diamond-shaped continental plate.
Ultos is a bit strange, like an enlarged horizontal version of Westeros. Like Sothoryos, most of its area is primeval forest.
I don't know if it was Jack's illusion, but he always felt that something was wrong with the continent of Ultes. There were endless cliffs in the south, as if someone had cut off a piece of it.
But these are not what Jack is worried about. What Jack is worried about is Alexander's safety. There has been no news for three months, which makes Jack more and more uneasy.
Even if Poseidon forcibly connected the souls of every believer, there was still no clue. It was as if he had disappeared from the world after flying west from Dorne.
After three months of searching without any news, Jack no longer rode his dragon to search for Alexander himself, but continued to offer a high reward for any news about Alexander.
