Game of Thrones: The Bronze and Fire Lord

Chapter 31: Viserys's Pain

Late at night, by the campfire.

Viserys was alone, his face dim against the flames.

Zhila!

He raised his hand and poured out half a glass of wine, and the fire crackled.

He was sad, or filled with suppressed grief and anger.

During the day, he was stimulated by Duke Jason and Prime Minister Otto, and wanted to go out to relax, and was forced to look for the white deer.

At this moment, it can be said that I am physically and mentally exhausted.

"Are you okay, Your Majesty?"

Alison looked surprised and walked over slowly.

Without looking back, Viserys confided in his heart: "I designated Rhaenyra as the heir, actually to prevent Daemon from causing harm to the country."

Allison was stunned, not expecting to hear these words from her husband.

"She was my only child at the time and was praised as the light of the kingdom."

Viserys seemed drunk and felt lost: "I appointed her out of love, because I no longer believe..."

Halfway through, he stopped talking.

He suddenly regretted it and felt that all the decisions he made were wrong.

He deeply loves Damon and his younger brother who has been with him since childhood.

Before the 101 Great Council, he himself did not have the confidence to become the heir designated by his grandfather and win over his cousin Rhaenys.

That woman inherited her uncle Aemon's wisdom and bravery. Her husband, the sea serpent Corliss, came from an extremely wealthy family, and she also had a pair of children who were also qualified to run for office.

but!

Daemon trusted him unconditionally, traveled around to win over noble lords, and spent a lot of wealth to recruit mercenaries.

He even made bold statements.

If Viserys, as the elder brother, does not succeed in the election, he will definitely go to war regardless of the consequences.

Because of this, grandfather Jaehaerys did not want to see the family fight within his family, so he convened the Great Council of 101.

"How did it become like this?"

Viserys' eyes were red and he lowered his head, not wanting to show weakness in front of his wife.

Asking himself, he didn't know when he was afraid of his brother Damon.

Impulsive and reckless, Daemon has always considered himself his heir, waiting to take his place on the throne.

The death of his deceased wife Emma and the outbreak of the "Crown Prince for a Day" incident completely ignited this fear into anger.

With the cooperation of Prime Minister Otto, he personally expelled his brother Daemon from King's Landing.

By this point, the threat seemed to be gone.

"But it seems to exist at any time."

Viserys felt depressed, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

After Damon, the sea serpent Corliss is another threat.

When Daemon was still in the royal council, the sea serpent Corliss, who served as the sea minister, did not dare to be presumptuous and had a minimum of respect for him as a king.

After Daemon left King's Landing, he refused to marry Lannar because of her young age.

Corliss, the sea serpent, could stand it no longer.

He keenly discovered this and once again cooperated with Prime Minister Otto to solve the problem.

That is to marry Allison, win over a group of nobles in Old Town, and force the sea snake Corliss out of the Royal Council.

The nearby threat disappeared, but only retreated to the other end of Blackwater Bay.

Fortunately, pirates were rampant in the Three Women's Kingdom, which led the sea snake Corliss to send troops to the Stepstone Islands, allowing him to sleep peacefully for a few years.

But this is not enough.

A new threat has emerged.

"What do you no longer believe?"

Alison had no idea what was going on in her husband's mind, and her attention was entirely focused on things related to Rhaenyra.

Viserys shook his head and said perfunctorily: "Nothing, just a dream."

He once had a dream in which he had a son wearing a conqueror's crown.

That dream was too real, like a flame dancing in front of my eyes.

It was also this dream that he pursued day and night, causing the death of his late wife Emma.

After Emma killed two people, he forced himself to forget the dream.

There is no son at all, everything is just a dream.

As a last resort, he chose his only daughter Rhaenyra as his heir.

He thought that making up for Rhaenyra would make up for all the mistakes he had made and make him feel better.

But he thought too wonderfully.

Designating Rhaenyra as his heir would only bring him more worries and troubles.

He couldn't help but wonder if he had been drifting away by mistake all along.

Allison watched silently and said abruptly: "Rhaenyra is very good. She has been working hard to become a qualified heir."

"What did you say?"

Viserys was shocked when he heard this, thinking he had heard wrongly.

"Rhaenayla has always loved you."

Alison raised her head and looked at each other, pretending to be sincere and said: "She doesn't want to talk to you, she just doesn't have the confidence and is afraid of your disappointment and denial. In fact, she cares about you very much in her heart."

That’s right, you’re just telling lies with your eyes wide open.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the man in front of him still loved his daughter Rhaenyra more and was unwilling to replace his son Aegon as heir.

Perhaps in his mind, replacing Rhaenyra was admitting his mistake.

If that's the case, then support him and say it.

Speaking of his belief, speaking of his firm belief, speaking of his dismissal of his father Otto.

Viserys grabbed his wife's hand and asked, "Do you... Rhaenyra really think that?"

"certainly."

Their eyes met, Alison looked determined, and quietly took out her hand.

Viserys' hands trembled with excitement. He didn't notice the small details and raised a smile: "Alison, you are such a considerate wife."

"This is what I should do."

Allison forced out a smile and helped the other person walk back.

If you talk to the other person, you will always get such comments.

Viserys felt nothing but satisfaction.

He was not only happy that Rhaenyra loved him, but also satisfied with his wife's attitude.

Alison did not oppose Rhaenyra as the crown prince, proving that it was others who were wrong, Otto who was pressing step by step.

With Alison's support, he could drive Otto away without any burden.

When Alison stabilized the Oldtown family, life would be stable.

"Hehe."

Viserys laughed as he walked.

Alison lowered her head, and her face lost the tenderness just now.

Man, hehe.

...

"Mom, I am a man too."

In the tent, Aemon protested loudly.

Lady Rhea bent down to make the bed and threw a blanket over: "Sleep if you like, go out if you don't want to sleep."

Aemon caught the blanket and looked at the two beds, one large and one small, with a bitter face.

Accommodation is naturally not so particular for hunting in the royal forest.

Only the mother of the Royce family came, and there was only one tent.

If he didn't sleep, he would have to squeeze with William and the others.

"Who are you acting for? Haven't you always wanted to sleep with me?"

Lady Rhea glared back and lectured: "Don't think I don't know. You are close to the queen and the princess. One day you will suffer."

Aemon's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He chose to follow his heart: "Mom, I will sleep in the small bed."

After that, he lay down obediently.

He has passed the stage of seeking maternal love. He just wants to sleep alone with four dragon eggs in his arms.

If he keeps making trouble, Mom might reveal his past.

Huh!

Lady Rhea blew out the candle and lay on the bed to sleep with her clothes on.

Time passed by bit by bit.

Aemon tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, thinking about things in his mind.

After his mediation, Alisson planned to break free from the shackles and be independent, and Rhaenyra ignited her fighting spirit.

With the joint efforts of the two, Otto will have to be laid off after the end of the Royal Guard.

At that time, they will have the final say in King's Landing.

The two of them were tit-for-tat and disliked each other.

If he stayed in King's Landing, his identity as a fence-sitter would be exposed sooner or later, and he would be doomed.

Aemon shuddered at the thought.

On the other side, Lady Rhea closed her eyes to rest, which was very different from her hunting appearance during the day.

Suddenly, the voice of her silly son was heard:

"Mom, are you asleep?"

"What?"

Lady Rhea was concise.

Aemon: "Lend me a team of Vale knights tomorrow."

"What?"

Aemon: "Rhaenyra invited me to hunt, I'm afraid it's not safe."

This is a lie.

He has two ghost ideas.

One is to catch a white deer, a symbol of royal power, which will definitely provide essence.

The second is to make trouble, cause some trouble and leave King's Landing smoothly.

Uncle Viserys's idea of ​​recruiting him as a child husband is very honest, but he dare not stay.

It's better to go back to the Vale, where the mountains are high and the king is far away.

He can develop steadily and cultivate his own team.

Looking at "A Dance with the Dragons", having a foundation and not having a foundation are two different things.

Daemon, the old man, and the future One-Eyed Aemond are so powerful, they are definitely the big daddies of the black and green parties.

But they are only vassals of their respective camps until their death. After the leader is distrusted or disappears, the uncle and nephew leave the scene regretfully.

He can't do this. If he wants to do something, he must be the boss.

When he returns to the valley to develop his foundation, he will find an opportunity to tame a dragon. Only others can look at his face.

Lady Rhea didn't even raise her eyelids. She guessed that this kid had bad intentions and said lightly: "Gonsor will find you when you get up early tomorrow."

Aemon's heart warmed and he said good night: "Love you, mother."

"..."

After a while, Lady Rhea made a sound: "Yeah."

I'm looking forward to Daemon's appearance.

I still have to work harder to write!
