Game of Thrones: Viserys the Three-Headed Dragon

By dinner time, Illyrio's guests had left.

At this particularly sumptuous dinner table, the Fat Governor made a confession to Viserys: "Your Majesty, please allow me to apologize to you for today's abruptness. I promise you that such a thing will never happen again in the future."

"I'm serious, Illyrio." Viserys handed him the steps. "This is just a small matter. This is your courtyard. This fact is normal and I can understand it. But if you insist on apologizing, then I will accept it." I hope your apology can put your mind at ease." He said with admiration, "There are not many loyal king supporters like you, Illyrio."

Illyrio said seriously: "Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty."

"By the way, aren't you going to give me a maid?" Viserys started a new topic, "I think the maid Ani is okay, let her be the one."

"Ani?" Illyrio thought for a moment and then matched the name with the person. "If His Majesty wants her to serve you, then she is the one. This is her luck."

Just like Ani herself thought, her matter was just a trivial matter, even her master was happy to see it.

Illyrio quickly moved on to the next topic: "Your Majesty, one of the escorts accompanying the Tyroshi envoy today is a knight from the Seven Kingdoms. I heard that he has committed some crimes and came to Essos to stay. I had a little chat with him about the Seven Kingdoms, and I found that he knew a lot about the Seven Kingdoms and was more knowledgeable than ordinary sailors and merchants. I was wondering, do I need to recruit such people to work for His Majesty?"

"The nobles of the Seven Kingdoms like to come here when they lose power in Westeros." Viserys did not give the fat governor a normal reaction, but said, "Blackfire was like this in the past, and so am I. I think that knight is also like this. " Viserys didn't want to deal with Illyrio's temptations blindly, and occasionally wanted to do something for him to deal with. "In fact, I heard a little bit of your conversation in the garden today. You know, the room is on the garden. . That’s right, Illyrio, let’s not talk about that knight. I heard you talking about the route from Tyrosh to Dorne?”

Illyrio replied cordially with a smile on his face: "Yes, Your Majesty. To be honest, the Tyroshians have always controlled Dorne's shipping routes due to their geographical location. Now they have disputes with Lys and Myr, but they can teach us these things." People watching the show can take advantage of it.”

"Yes, yes." Viserys vaguely had other thoughts, but did not say it directly. He only said, "This is a good thing, Illyrio. It is good for our cause. Your business goes to Westeros. That’s right, not only Dorne, but the Stormlands, King’s Ridge, the Valley, the North, and even Lannisport are all good trade routes. It’s a good thing to find more opportunities to do business there.”

"I think so too, Your Majesty." Illyrio replied, "I believe that after a while, I will be able to offer you the freshest Dornish lemons from Pentos."

"I'm looking forward to this day." After Viserys finished speaking, he stopped mentioning Dorne and turned the topic back to the knight Jorah Mormont. "Speaking of that knight, Illyrio, I miss you. It should be clear what kind of thing we are going to do. That knight is worth recruiting, but it is too early. In this way, you can hire him to find something to do in the process. "You have to see what his character is like. If he is really talented, I will recruit him personally in the future. If not, I will find a reason to fire him."

"Your Majesty is still thoughtful." Although it did not meet expectations, it was better than the worst case scenario. Illyrio complimented Viserys and asked, "According to what your Majesty sees, what should I arrange for him to do to test him?" "

"." Viserys seemed to be stunned by the question. He thought for a long time before answering, "You can just decide on your own."

Illyrio said worriedly: "Your Majesty, he is from a noble family in Westeros. I know very little about the customs and aristocratic manners of the Seven Kingdoms. I'm afraid it will ruin your business."

This is also a temptation. After thinking about it, Illyrio suspected that Viserys was the kind of person who seemed to know the right way to do things, had a set of theoretical knowledge that could satisfy his rhetoric, and knew the general direction of doing things, but when it came to specific things, he didn't know what to do. How to do noble children.

For example, now it is a matter of arranging personnel and testing character. Viserys knew that he had to arrange things to test his character, but he didn't seem to have a clue on how to do it, so he deduced that he would leave the specific things to Illyrio - he seemed to have no idea about these things that had nothing to do with the core secrets. Trust Illyrio.

All in all, Illyrio thinks that this beggar king has the temperament of a superior, thick-skinned enough, and can make grandiose gestures, but lacks practical experience. It makes sense to think about it, the Beggar King has no chance to actually deal with these things.

"You go ahead and do it," Viserys replied to the Fat Governor, "You will be my finance minister in the future, and it will be a matter of time before you deal with the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms."

"Since you said so, I will definitely handle this matter." Illyrio agreed and then added a question, "If the time comes, should I let him know who is really hiring him?"

"No, by then, if he is really worth recruiting." Viserys took a gesture, "I will recruit him personally."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

——

It was pretty much what Ani expected. What interested the master most in her report was the reaction of the Beggar King when they overheard a conversation in the garden, but she could give so little information that the master lost interest and asked her to talk about other things.

She went on to talk about what the Beggar King and his sister said today. They taught and learned in front of her all afternoon, practicing the archer's stance. The master was not very concerned about this, and just regarded it as a piece of information to express his knowledge.

His master was more concerned about how the Beggar King chose her than what they expected, and he made a long test after she explained the situation.

"When you go to work with him, don't rush to express yourself. Just treat yourself as a normal maid serving around him." Her master warned her, "He is not someone who trusts others easily. You just need to work diligently and be obedient." His order."

"Yes." she answered.

"He shouldn't do anything to you in the short term, but don't try to seduce him. He seems to have some strange prejudices against women. Don't treat him the same way you treat young powerful men who have never seen a woman." Her master said. She advised, "Also, if he tortures you in private."

"I know how to do it, Master," she responded.

"Okay. I have prepared a new set of clothes for you. Put it on and go to the king." Her master gave her a bag of gifts and finally said to her, "Don't forget who you are."

"Yes, Master."
