On the other side.

Across the Narrow Sea, Lys.

The sky was clear and blue, and the sea was vast and azure.

"Hiss--"

A giant dragon as black as charcoal, with wings covering the sky and the sun, flashed by, its long tail stirring the calm sea, and it rushed into the majestic city-state on the cliff.

Hundreds of civilians walked on the streets, looking up at the beast in surprise.

"Hiss--"

The giant black dragon raised its head and roared, circled around the city-state, and flew into the dragon's lair like a falling star.

The people reluctantly withdrew their gaze, their eyes full of fear and admiration for Deathwing.

...

Tower.

Rhaegar walked out of the dragon's lair, took the capstan rope ladder and went to the conference hall.

He came to mobilize the fleet and prepare for entering the Sea of ​​Smoke.

Lys will always be the best political center on both sides of the Narrow Sea.

"Daemon returned in disgrace, and Slaver's Bay was lost."

Rhaegar's face was calm, and his heart was full of joy.

Good uncle's business was frustrated, and I don't know if he can turn back in his middle age.

As for Slaver's Bay...

Let it go, a colony without ruling value.

Creak——

The capstan chain got stuck, and the rope ladder climbed to the top of the tower.

"We're here."

Rhaegar walked towards the parliament hall without hesitation.

...

A parliament was in progress.

At the oval conference table carved with fish beam wood, Johanna, the red witch, Varys and other important figures were sitting.

"Everyone, I have an important announcement today!"

Rhaenyra looked serious and toasted with a wine cup.

Varys's strange tattoos on his skin moved, and he smiled indifferently: "Listen carefully."

As the chief steward and priest of the tower, he naturally obeyed the queen's orders.

Johanna and the red witch sat on both sides of the conference table, looking at each other tacitly, and everything was self-evident.

Today's parliament was full of weirdness.

The queen was dressed in a gorgeous black crown, a golden crown on her head, and a smile on her lips.

The kind of ease and contentment that was in control, and the unusual formal dress.

It shouldn't appear in an ordinary parliament.

"Then, the parliament officially begins."

Rhaenyra smiled and drank the cup.

Then, she whispered: "Sir, I'm in trouble."

"Yes, your majesty!"

The Kingsguard Lorente looked solemn, and drew the sword from his waist and put it on Johanna's neck.

"Your majesty?"

Johanna was pale and panicked.

"Don't move, black swan!"

Lorente's words were cold, and the long sword cut through the white skin.

This scene happened suddenly, completely breaking the calm in the hall.

Varys put his hands in his pockets, having expected this.

The red-robed witch stood up suddenly, and her charming face with tattooed tears was full of surprise.

"Everyone, don't panic."

Rhaenyra took a list from the side and threw it out, saying calmly: "This is Johanna's crime. She violated the law."

"Your Majesty!"

Johanna's eyes widened and she read the guilt on the paper carefully.

Rhaenyra didn't care about the old friendship at all, and asked: "You privately sold female slaves and boys to ensure the vested interests of the old nobles."

"You betrayed your conscience and are guilty!"

"But I maintained the order in Lys."

Johanna was anxious and said to prove herself: "As a member of the High Tower, I have always been dedicated to helping you manage the city-state."

She found something wrong.

The queen has been deliberately alienating her recently, and it turns out that she is looking for guilt.

Rhaenyra shook her head and said, "You have been dismissed, and there is a replacement for the position of member. "

As he said that, he tapped his chin to signal to take it down.

Sir Lorent's face darkened, he grabbed Johanna's collar and dragged her out of the hall like a chicken.

Bang——

The door slammed open, and the White Knight took down the Black Swan.

This scene happened to fall into Rhaegar's eyes, and a question mark appeared on his forehead.

"Your Majesty."

White Maggot Xiaomei greeted softly, and walked into the conference hall with a big belly.

"What happened?"

Rhaegar looked stunned and stood there for a while.

In the hall.

Rhaenyra smiled, pulled the uneasy White Maggot Xiaomei over, and officially announced: "From now on, Madam Xiaomei will replace Johanna's position."

As he spoke, his eyes swept over the other two.

As one of the councilors, Lannar was pregnant and it was inconvenient for her to attend the parliament.

The red witch replaced Councilor Volantis, and Varys was the steward of the tower.

"Not a bad idea. "

Varys held the Queen's speech, and the lackeys clapped their hands.

After the initial surprise, the red witch slowly calmed down and spoke in official language: "Slavery is abolished, and Johanna's crime is unforgivable."

As a priest of the Red Temple, it is still difficult to adapt to the struggle for power.

"That's good, I believe that Lys will have a better future."

Rhaenyra smiled calmly and raised the wine cup again.

Just yesterday, she had secretly dealt with the old noble factions that smuggled female slaves and boys, and won over the second sons of nobles in the royal territory for colonization.

Lys, the Kingdom of the Three Daughters, should also be completely replaced.

Outside the door, Rhaegar watched from beginning to end and shook his head secretly.

No longer interested in the meeting, he turned around and followed the Kingsguard who were walking away.

...

For a long time.

The dungeon in the high tower.

The cell was damp and dark, and the candlelight from the wall lamp could only illuminate the floor under his feet.

Rhaegar habitually put on a black robe and arrived at the door of the cell.

"Who is it, stop!"

The silver-haired and dark-skinned young man spoke out and stopped the approaching man in black robe.

"It's me."

Rhaegar slowly raised his head, revealing his stern profile under the hood.

"His Majesty!"

Adam was taken aback and quickly stretched out his arm to block the way.

Rhaegar glanced at him and said casually: "Are you the illegitimate son of a sea serpent?"

He remembered the other party and rescued his own child.

"No...it's not..."

Adam's handsome face changed slightly, and he stumbled to explain.

"Don't be nervous, what does your identity do to me?"

Rhaegar patted the illegitimate brother on the shoulder and said friendlyly: "You are a good young man and you will always do something good."

Adam's body stiffened and he whispered: "It's all thanks to Mr. Corliss' promotion."

Rhaegar smiled lightly, understanding the sea snake's intention.

Lanino is killed and Lanner gets married.

The family's nephew betrayed him and almost cut off the main bloodline.

Raising illegitimate children to climb to high positions is also a characteristic of Westeros nobles.

"You should be at the port?"

Rhaegar glanced at the cell door and said what he said to his illegitimate brother.

Adam answered all questions and said seriously: "The queen ordered us to capture the old nobleman who smuggled slaves. I am responsible for escorting the prisoner."

"Oh~ I understand." Rega suddenly understood.

Lys and Myr are independent city-states under the direct jurisdiction of the king, and their garrison troops each have a thousand fearless and two hundred unsullied.

This was already the maximum amount of troops the royal family could muster before conquering the army of five thousand Unsullied.

After all, King's Landing also needs a permanent army.

This time, the sea serpent placed the fleet commanded by Adam in Lys, which just supplemented Rhaenyra's lack of armed force.

"I'm going in to find someone."

Rhaegar reminded softly.

Adam was stunned for a moment and said sternly: "Please do as you please."

"very good."

Rhaegar smiled and passed by.

He is a smart man who knows who to be loyal to.

Deep in the dungeon.

The walls were dripping with moisture and were simply covered with a layer of moldy hay. The stench of feces and urine was pungent.

Johanna hugged her body tightly and squatted in the corner of the cell.

It’s hard to believe that Reese’s Black Swan will one day go to jail.

Tap tap tap...

The sound of rustling footsteps came, and the excited Johanna trembled all over.

"It's me."

Rhaegar walked to the cell and took off his hood.

Johanna was startled when she heard this, her eyes glowed with the light of hope, and she suddenly raised her head: "Your Majesty."

While shouting, as if grasping the last straw, he swayed his delicate body and crawled towards the cell door.

Rega turned a blind eye and said calmly: "How could it be like this?"

"I have no idea."

Johanna burst into tears and felt extremely aggrieved: "I am loyal to the queen, and she trusts the white maggots more."

She is obviously Reese's hero, upholding the Queen's majesty.

Rega saw it and sighed softly: "I told you a long time ago that I should be more ruthless."

After a pause, he said, "You will never change your stubborn nature."

When he first captured Reese, he warned the other party to get rid of those old nobles as soon as possible.

Now it's better, it's not just a fire.

He was also found to be selling slaves privately, which opened a huge hole.

"I know my mistake."

Johanna lay lying at the door of the cell, grabbing the black robe through the iron fence, and said in fear: "Help me, Your Majesty."

She didn't want to spend the rest of her life in a dungeon.

According to Rhaenyra's ruthless character, she would not be forgiven.

Rega looked at the black swan begging for mercy and said calmly: "Get rid of your bad habits. There will be no next time."

"Yes!" Johanna was overjoyed when she heard this, nodding like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Ship tonight to Myr to assist my eldest son."

Rhaegar's face turned dark, and he was not in the mood to watch her pretend to be pitiful.

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Johanna thanked her repeatedly and shed tears of joy.

"His Majesty."

Back at the dungeon door, Adam silently stepped forward.

"Let her go." Rega said casually without looking back.

Johanna could be where she is today because of his connivance and Rhaenyra's negligence.

But one thing is true.

Rhys has indeed flourished under Johanna's management.

There are means, but they are against the rules.

I believe that after this lesson, my personality will change if I move my home base to Mil, which has a different model.

Dusk.

King's Landing.

After Helena washed up, she followed her mother to visit her father who was lying in bed as usual.

The mother and daughter were walking in the corridor with different expressions.

"Hiss!"

Suddenly, a dragon roar came from the sky above the Red Castle, alarming the attendants up and down.

Helena suddenly raised her head and looked out of the glass window.

"Hiss!"

A giant brown mud-colored dragon flew by leisurely and landed in the sacred forest behind the Red Castle.

"Aemond is back."

Helena's expression was muttering softly.

quite a while.

Aemond held the sword on his waist and looked for it dusty.

"Aemond, my boy!"

Allison was filled with joy, looking up and down at his lean, handsome second son.

"Mother?"

Aemond frowned slightly, a hint of suspicion flashed in his one eye.

The other party shouldn't be in the Red Keep.

Allison strode forward, smiling and opening his arms.

"No!"

Aemond ducked away from the hug.

"Eamond?"

Allison froze, holding his arms stiffly.

Emond looked embarrassed and said awkwardly: "Now that you are back, take good care of your father."

After saying that, he looked at Helena beside the bed and pulled her away.

Do you really think he is still a child who has not been weaned, craving for cheap maternal love?

Targaryen men don't need such a burden.
