Game of Thrones: The Bronze and Fire Lord
Chapter 21 Potential Enemies
Red Fort, banquet hall.
Tailan was reprimanded by the king and left in despair.
The party is still going on.
"Lord Leonor, we haven't talked for a long time."
Viserys forced a smile, attracting the calm personality of the Minister of Justice.
Across a dining table filled with pastries, Leonor Strong was chatting with someone, and turned his head in confusion when he heard the sound.
"His Majesty."
Leonor did not dare to neglect and stepped forward to salute.
He was a well-read wise man who visited the Citadel of "Oldtown" as a young man and received six Maester's Links.
Now that he is old, his strong body has become fat and bloated, and his face is round and gentle.
Viserys looked the important minister up and down, and after some hesitation he said: "Rhaenyra is missing. I heard Cole said he was taking Aemon to the dragon's lair."
"Prince Aemon is of noble blood, and it is a good thing that he is willing to get close to the princess."
Leonor was serious and happy to see this happen.
But judging from the troubled look on the king's face, there must be something more important to say.
As expected, Viserys shook his head and sighed, saying, "I like Aemon very much, but Rhaenyra is very prejudiced against me and doesn't want to listen to my nagging."
This saddened him.
"How can I help you?"
Leonor raised his eyebrows slightly.
The conflict between the king and the princess was deep and the whole court knew about it.
However, as courtiers, very few could intervene in the king's family affairs.
After all, not everyone is as capable as Prime Minister Otto of marrying his daughter into the royal family.
"I just have some thoughts and hope that someone trustworthy can answer it."
Viserys had a complicated expression on his face, and looking around to see that no one was eavesdropping, he said solemnly: "Rhaenyra is almost an adult, who do you think can help her."
Leonor was dumbfounded and speechless.
This sentence contains too much information and contains too many factors.
First he mentioned Prince Aemon, and then he said he was worried about the princess's marriage.
And the word "assistant" was used very cleverly, proving that the king had no intention of replacing the princess as the heir to the Iron Throne.
Then, the matter in the palace about Prince Aegon's "taking over" as the heir became groundless.
For a moment, Leonor thought of many things.
Apart from the above speculations, the important point is this.
As the "grandfather" of little Prince Aegon, Prime Minister Otto has been removed from the king's trust list.
"The king is testing me!"
Leonor's heart sank. Seeing that the king was waiting impatiently, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, according to the results of the royal meeting, Sir Lanino is undoubtedly the best choice."
The answer was quite satisfactory, leaving room for the rest of the conversation.
Viserys frowned and said dissatisfied: "Maybe there is a better one."
Leonor planned to be prudent and said: "Sir Lannino Velaryon, the heir to the richest family in the continent, there is no doubt that he comes from the ancient Valyrian family and has Targaryen blood."
If there are no better conditions, why not?
But this sentence somewhat irritated the king.
Viserys took a big sip of wine, his eyes sharpened, and he said seriously:
"Ever since the 101 Great Council, when the maester read my name as his heir, and then when he refused to marry Lannar Velaryon, I have always felt the coveted gaze from Blackwater Bay."
Ever since his father's death, the sea serpent Corliss has been his most feared opponent.
When Leonor heard this, he expected something in his heart and said silently: "Your Majesty, if you are really willing to listen to my heartfelt words..."
"certainly!"
Viserys interrupted directly.
If you don’t want to hear the truth, you don’t have to ask the Minister of Justice who comes from an innocent family background.
The Strong family was granted the title of "Harrenhal", a position that guarded the rivers and valleys, and could provide immediate support in the event of trouble in King's Landing.
It can be seen that the Strong family must be loyal.
Leonor sighed heavily and said seriously: "The reason why the Royal Council recommended Sir Lanino is precisely because you rejected his sister, Miss Lanner, which led to the resignation of your Sea Minister Corliss."
"It is better to be an ally than an enemy."
The words were straightforward enough, and he believed that the king knew what he was talking about.
The royal family and the Velaryon family are in a stalemate, and it is better to resolve the misunderstanding through marriage than to continue to worsen.
Viserys said unwillingly: "What if I reject this offer?"
"The sea serpent Corliss will not surrender voluntarily."
Leonor said matter-of-factly: "If he is not tied to the Iron Throne, he will not be easily satisfied."
“The kingdom has a need, who can say no?”
Viserys' emotions fluctuated and he said angrily: "Are you threatening me?"
"You are the king, of course you would not dare to do this."
Leonor offered words of comfort.
Viserys laughed angrily and objected: "I will not marry my daughter off, let alone abandon the honor of the king of a country."
The sea snake Corliss refuses to give in, should he give in?
Absolutely impossible!
Leonor understood the pros and cons and said helplessly: "Prince Aemon is of noble birth, but the war on the Stepstone Islands is urgent, and the sea snake Corliss controls half of the kingdom's fleet."
However, they have strong fists.
Viserys squeezed the wine glass tightly and calmed down slightly: "It doesn't matter, the sea snake Corliss lost many troops in this battle, and the threat has been reduced."
His brother Daemon was also at the battlefield.
Needless to say, the war was cruel, and letters for help were even sent.
"So……"
Leonor saw that the king was calculating and opened his mouth to make some suggestions.
Suddenly, there was a scream outside the hall.
"what happened?"
Viserys straightened up, puzzled by the sudden confusion.
"Hiss!!"
A huge dragon scream filled with pleasure sounded out, resounding throughout the Red Keep like thunder.
Viserys was shocked at the sound and quickly walked out of the hall.
Looking up, white clouds drifted above the blue sky.
"Hiss!"
A giant light blue dragon soars into the sky, spreads its wings and shuttles through the clouds, like a free and fluttering butterfly.
"Seven Hells!"
Leonor was stunned and exclaimed.
Viserys was even more shocked. He took a few steps forward and looked at the dragon's back, repeatedly confirming that there was no one there.
The daughter and her nephew went to the dragon's lair together.
The dream fire was not tamed, how could it fly out.
Unfortunately, no one can answer it yet.
"Hiss!"
In full view of everyone, the light blue dragon circled around King's Landing three times, attracting countless exclamations or screams.
Then, as if tired of flying, the huge body flew across the red-brick and white-walled Silk Street, folded its wings and landed back in the Dome Dragon's den.
…
Dragon's lair.
Aemon looked up and looked up, with a smile on his fair face, happy for the dream fire that returned to the sky.
Dragons should fly in the sky, how can they be imprisoned blindly?
After being locked up for a long time, the dragon's various body functions deteriorated, and it even stopped laying eggs and hatching.
The only ones who suffered were the Targaryens.
"Hiss!"
Suddenly, another unfamiliar roar came from beside him.
Aemon groaned and turned to check.
Rhaenyra disappeared at some point and was walking out of the dragon's lair.
"Hiss!"
A majestic and majestic topaz-colored dragon swings its huge dragon head with a pair of curved horns, and leisurely accompanies its owner.
Aemon's eyes lit up and he said happily: "Rhaenyra, can I touch it?"
Unable to wait for an answer, Niao Teng leaned forward with a pair of short legs.
